Bounce to Track(s) dialog

Click the Track view Tracks menu and choose Bounce to Track(s) to open the Bounce to Track(s)

dialog box.

This command lets you process the effects and/or automation together with the audio data in tracks

to create one or several new tracks in order to lighten the load on your computer. Once you’ve

bounced the tracks, you can archive or delete the source tracks to free up your computer’s

resources.

Note 1: If you select any data in your project, only that data is included when you choose to

bounce tracks. Alternatively, you can mute tracks you don’t want to include in the mixdown, and

then check Track Mute/Solo in the Mix Enables field so that SONAR uses that information as

a guide when picking what tracks to include in the bounce. If a project is using any effects that

add a “tail” to the end of an audio track, such as reverb or delay, then you should make sure that

you select extra time in the time ruler (duration needed to hear the tail) at the end of the current

selection before using the Tracks > Bounce to Track(s) command. This ensures that the “tail”

is included in the audio mixdown.

Note 2: You control the bit depth of all rendering operations (bouncing, freezing, applying

effects) in Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data in the Render Bit Depth field. The default

value for render bit depth is 32. 64 can be selected to preserve the greater mixing and rendering

precision that the 64 bit double precision mix engine provides. Values of 16 and 24 can also be

selected. See “Bit depths for rendering audio” on page 1187 for more information.
