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 (Bounce & Burn)
buttons.
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.
• Offline: Accelerates the bounce process—depending on the complexity of your
arrangement and available CPU processing power. It also allows the bouncing of
complex arrangements that would normally exceed the power of your CPU, if trying
to play them in real time. Offline bouncing, however, is limited to internal sources
(audio or Audio Instrument tracks). The MIDI tracks and Input Objects of Logic’s mixer
are deactivated during offline bouncing.
Please note that the Offline Bounce Mode is only available to the Output Objects of
mixers that belong to native audio driver systems. DSP-based audio hardware can not
make use of offline bouncing due to the nature of its stream-oriented technology.
Other software applications that are fed into your Logic Mixer via ReWire technology
are available for offline bounce processes.
