Bouncing Mixer Channels
Bouncing Mixer Channels basically means “recording” the audio outputs from Audio Track Channels and/or Mix
Channels and then automatically creating separate audio files. The audio files can then be saved to disk or placed on
new Audio Tracks in your song. If you choose to bounce to disk, the audio files will be automatically saved to disk as
separate audio files. If you instead choose to bounce to new tracks, the bounced audio files will be automatically
placed on new Audio Tracks in the sequencer.
The “bounce to disk” option is ideal if you want to export your sequencer tracks separately for further processing in
external applications. The “bounce to track” option is great if you, for example, have instrument tracks with lots of re-
source consuming FX etc. and therefore want to render them into audio to free up DSP resources in your song.
You can choose to bounce the Mixer Channels, either throughout the entire song, or only between the Left and Right
Locators. You can also choose to bounce with or without mixer settings.
Do like this to bounce Mixer Channels:
1. Select “Bounce Mixer Channels...” from the File menu.
The “Bounce Mixer Channels” dialog appears:
The “Bounce Mixer Channels” dialog
When you open the “Bounce Mixer Channels” dialog, some channels in the Mixer Channels list might already be
checked. This depends on what Mixer Channels (or their corresponding tracks or rack devices) were selected
when you opened the dialog. The Master Section and FX Returns are never automatically checked when you open
the dialog; you have to do that manually.
