Real-time bounce
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”.

Preparing to Create an Audio CD
You can create an audio CD from any wave file or files (extension .wav) of up to either 74 or 80
minutes (depending on the recordable CD media you have). If your projects are audio only, you can
simply mix down to a stereo wave file. If your projects contain MIDI, you must first convert the MIDI
tracks to audio tracks. Once you have all the stereo wave files you want to include on your CD, you
are ready to burn a CD. Use the Tools > Burn Audio CD command to burn your tracks to an audio
CD.
For step-by-step procedures:

Converting MIDI to Audio
To Burn Audio Tracks to an Audio CD
1. Make sure the tracks you wish to burn to CD have been saved as 16-bit, 44,100 Hz, stereo Wave
(.wav) files.
2. Insert a blank CD-R disc in the destination drive.
3. Choose Tools > Burn Audio CD to open the Audio CD Burner dialog box.
4. Select a destination CD writing drive using the Target Drive drop-down list.
5. Click Add Track to locate and import the audio Wave files you wish to burn to CD.
6. Place the tracks in the desired order by using the Move Up and Move Down buttons.
7. Click Burn CD.
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.
