626 Chapter 27 Bouncing Your Project
Creating a Bounce
This section outlines the basic steps required to create a bounced audio file. Detailed
descriptions of each step follow.
To create a bounce file:
1 Route all channels that you want to bounce to a particular output channel (see the
following section).
2 Define the desired bounce range (see “Defining the Bounce Range” on page 627).
3 Do one of the following:
 Click the Bounce button on the desired output channel.
 Choose File > Bounce from the main menu bar to bounce output channels 1 and 2.
4 Set the parameters in the Bounce window (see “Using the Bounce Window” on
page 627).
5 Enter a destination name (and folder) for the bounced file (or files).
6 Press the Bounce (or Bounce & Burn) button in the Bounce window.
Note: Mono bouncing is possible when the output channel is set to mono. In this
situation, a mono audio file is generated.
Routing Channels to an Output
If you’re only routing one or two channels to a particular output channel strip, simply
click the Output slot of the channels, and choose the desired output channel from the
pop-up menu.
To route a number of channels to an output channel strip:
1 Rubber-band select (or Shift-select) the desired channels.
2 Click the Output slot of one of the selected channels, and choose the desired output
channel.
All selected channels will be routed to the chosen output channel strip.
