2 Set the parameters in the Bounce dialog window (see below).
3 Press the Bounce button in the Bounce dialog window.
4 The ensuing file selector allows you to enter a destination folder and name for the
bounced file.
Note: Mono bouncing is possible when the Output Object is set to mono. In this
situation, a mono audio file is generated.
Global Options in the Bounce Dialog Window
Several global options are available in the Bounce Dialog window, regardless of the file
type(s) being bounced.
Destination
You can select between a PCM file (in SDII, AIFF, or Wave format) or MP3, AAC, and Burn
CD (to a Red Book compliant Audio CD) options by simply clicking the desired radio
buttons.
PCM, MP3, and AAC files can be individually bounced and added to the iTunes library if
the Add to iTunes library checkbox is enabled in each sub-pane.
PCM files in SDII, AIFF, or Wave format—can be added to the Audio window if the Add
to Audio window checkbox is enabled in the PCM sub-pane.
Start and End Position
These fields define the boundaries of the song segment that you want to write to the
bounced file. The defaults for these fields is the whole song, from the beginning of the
first Audio Region to the end of the last. Note that the defaults will be the locator
positions, if the Cycle function is engaged. In any case, you can adjust the start and end
positions manually. As an example, should you want to take into account a MIDI sound
module (mixed via an Input Object) that falls outside the preset Region.
It’s often a good idea to set the End position of the bounce a little bit past the end of
the last Region, ensuring that reverb tails and echoes from delay plug-ins are not
chopped off. The amount of extra time needed will, of course, depend on the effect
settings used.
As you adjust the Start and End position parameters, you are shown the hard disk
space requirements for the bounced file above the Cancel and Bounce button.
Bounce Mode
• Realtime: Creates the bounce file in real time. Use it whenever you wish to bounce
audio and Audio Instrument tracks, plus external MIDI sound sources that are routed
into the Logic Mixer via (Live) Input Objects.
