Chapter 27 Bouncing Your Project 629
As you adjust the Start and End position parameters, you are shown the hard disk
space requirements for the bounced file above the Cancel and Bounce button.
(Bounce) Mode
 Realtime: Creates the bounce file in real time. Use it whenever you wish to bounce
audio and instrument tracks, plus external MIDI sound sources that are routed into
the Logic Express Mixer via aux channels.
 Offline: Accelerates the bounce process—depending on the complexity of your
arrangement, and available CPU processing power. It also allows you to bounce
arrangements that would normally exceed the processing power of your CPU, if
trying to play them in real time.
Note: Offline bouncing is limited to internal sources (audio or instrument tracks).
External MIDI tracks and audio channel inputs are deactivated during offline bounces.
DSP-based audio hardware can not make use of offline bouncing due to the nature of
its stream-oriented technology (these devices only work in real time, in other words).
Other software applications that are fed into your Logic Express Mixer via ReWire can
be bounced offline.
Normalize
Turn on this option if you want to normalize your files before the bounce. Normalizing
scans the incoming audio for the highest amplitude peak. The level of this peak is
increased to the maximum possible level (without clipping), and all other incoming
audio is also increased by this amount.
