Dithering
Whenever an audio signal is converted from a higher-bit resolution to a lower resolution, it is
necessary to apply dither to avoid introducing undesirable quantization noise or harmonic distortion
into the signal. You can select from four available dithering types.
• Rectangular
• Triangular
• Pow-r 1
• Pow-r 2
• Pow-r 3
For more information see “Dithering” on page 679.
Mix Enables
As default, each of the Mix Enables options is checked, meaning that your mixdown will sound the
same as playback. You can check or uncheck each of the following items to include or exclude them
from your mix:
• Track Mute/Solo. If you check this option, tracks that are currently muted are not mixed down.
Also with this option checked, if any tracks are soloed, only those tracks are included in the
mixdown.
• Bus Mute/Solo. If you check this option, buses that are currently muted are not mixed down.
Also with this option checked, if any buses are soloed, only those bus outputs are included in the
mixdown.
• Track Automation. If you don’t check this option, any volume and pan automation, including
initial volume and pan settings, is ignored when creating the new file(s). The amplitude of the
raw data in the tracks is used, and the pan is C, or centered.
• Clip Automation. If you don’t check this option, any clip automation, including any trim
settings, is ignored when creating the new file(s).
• Bus Automation
•FX Automation
• Track FX. If you don’t check this option, any effects patched into various tracks’ patch points,
including any plug-in synthesizers patched into track fx patch points, are ignored when
creating the new file(s).
• Bus FX. If you don’t check this option any effects in buses are ignored when creating the audio
file.
• Fast Bounce. When checked SONAR exports audio as fast as your computer allows. If
unchecked, SONAR exports audio in realtime. Uncheck this option if you are using a synth that
works only in realtime. This option is checked by default.
• Audible bounce. The Audible bounce option is only available when in real-time bounce mode
(when Fast Bounce is unchecked). When Audible bounce is unchecked, no audio output will be
heard during the bounce process. When in real-time bounce mode (Fast Bounce unchecked) and
