Bouncing/Freezing with Sidechain Plug-ins
Sidechain inputs are not automatically included when you bounce a
selection. If you want to bounce the output of a single track that contains a
sidechain plug-in, the easiest solution is to also select all tracks that
contribute to the plug-in’s sidechain input, and do a bounce with Fast
Bounce disabled and the Source Category set to “Tracks”.
Note: Freezing a track with sidechain inputs will not include the sidechain
input. If you need to free up CPU on a track that includes a sidechain, use
the bounce command with all sidechain sources explicitly selected in the
mix.

Modification to Track Export
Exporting Tracks with No Selection
In SONAR 6 and earlier, when you bounce (mix down) audio with no
selection, SONAR will assume you want to bounce the entire duration of
the project. This is the desired behavior for most applications, except when
the source category is set to Tracks.
When the source category is Tracks and you bounce or export audio,
SONAR 6 (and earlier versions) bounces the contents of each track to a
separate wave file and all wave files are extended to the exact duration of
the longest track in the project. This is undesirable for a few reasons,
including:
• If you have a track with just a small clip on it, a lot of disk space is
wasted by adding silence at the beginning and/or end of the wave file.
• If you are working on a CD mastering project where each track is a
separate song to be eventually burned to a CD, exporting the project
with the source category set to Tracks won’t quite give you the desired
results. Since all tracks will be of the same duration, the songs won’t
integrate properly with SONAR’s new CD burning option.
