Bounce Clip(s) to New Recording(s)
A very nice way to “clean up” among the recordings in a comped audio clip is to bounce the clip to a new recording.
What happens is that the audio recordings in all segments of the comped clip, including any Cut Crossfades and in-
dividual Comp Row Levels, are combined into a single recording on an additional Comp Row. After the clip has been
bounced to a new recording, you can delete the unused recordings to reduce the file size. Bouncing clips to new re-
cordings can be made for one or several selected audio clips:
D Select the clip(s) in the Clip Overview area in Edit Mode, or select the clip(s) in the Arrangement, and then se-
lect “Bounce Clip(s) to New Recording(s)” from the Edit menu or context menu.
A new “combined” recording is created on a new Comp Row, which is created above the other Comp Rows on the
Edit Pane. The new Comp Row is assigned the suffix “(bounced)”.
As the clip is bounced, the Edit Mode view automatically switches from Comp Mode to Single Mode. If you play
back the clip now, you will only hear the bounced recording on the topmost Comp Row. However, the clip will
sound exactly the same as before the bounce.
If you’re happy with the result and don’t plan to edit the clip any further, you can use the “Delete Unused Record-
ings” function to delete the recordings on the original Comp Rows and reduce the file size (see “Delete Unused
Recordings”). If file size is not an issue, you can keep the original takes in the clip. This way you can switch to
Comp Mode at any time if you need to edit the comp.
q The “Bounce Clip to New Recording” function is very useful if you have imported a large audio file and only
want to use a part of it. You can bounce the part of the clip you want use to a new recording and then delete
the remaining unused part on the Comp Row to reduce the file size.
q It’s also possible to bounce Audio Clips to disk and to a Sample (Record+Reason) - see “Bouncing Audio Clips”
and “Bounce Clip(s) to New Sample(s) (Record+Reason)”.
