Thanks for quick reply. Here's what I'm doing:
Not selecting any tracks,
File: Export
Bounce Settings: HW Out
Type:MP3
Preset: What you hear
All boxes are checked except Audible Bounce and Live Input
MP3 Options are 128bit, stereo, Quality 2.
When I just Export after selecting all the tracks with these same MP3 settings the computer crunches for about 30 seconds. When I Export with these settings but don't select any tracks it crunches for hours.
Computer is a Leveno Laptop ThinkPad T460s. 32GB RAM, W10. Purchased this year.
Thanks
