My recordings in the program turn out fine, I can add voices and layers and all the functions seems to work.  But when I export either MP4 or Wav it saves fine but you click on the newly created file and there's no sound!  I have no idea why.

It should have sound, when correctly set up.

- Have you made sure all tracks are exported?
- Have you made sure the song length is correctly put in?
- Have you perhaps ticked the wrong settings before export?
- You sure you haven't used extreme quality settings, which your audio device can't handle?

All these settings can be found when you press mixdown. The menu that appears, you use to make sure all settings are correct.


And something silly: you aren't saving the song S1 file by adding *.wav extension right? You do properly press 'mixdown', and not 'save as'.?  Also don't use 'create stems' because that will split all the tracks in separate wave files, unless you want that.

Have you made sure all tracks are exported?  Yes, I only have one track on the one i'm trying
- Have you made sure the song length is correctly put in?  yes, it's 1:34 long
- Have you perhaps ticked the wrong settings before export?  Don't think so
- You sure you haven't used extreme quality settings, which your audio device can't handle?I don't know, I haven't changed any settings that I know of

All these settings can be found when you press mixdown. The menu that appears, you use to make sure all settings are correct.


And something silly: you aren't saving the song S1 file by adding *.wav extension right?  I'm not adding anything, it saves as a wav   You do properly press 'mixdown', and not 'save as'.?   Yes, i press song then mixdown   Also don't use 'create stems' because that will split all the tracks in separate wave files, unless you want that.  I haven't done that

Can you post a screenshot of your mixdown settings?
