PCM Options in the Bounce Window
Choose the PCM name (and activate the checkbox) in the Destination pane to access
the following options:
File Format
Choose from the SDII, AIFF, (Broadcast) Wave, or CAF format.
PCM files in these formats can be automatically added to the Audio Bin by enabling the
Add to Audio Bin checkbox.
Resolution
This is where you define the resolution of the bounced file. The options are 16 Bit (for
CD delivery), 8 Bit (for multimedia productions,) or 24 Bit (for mastering to DVD).
Sample Rate
This menu allows you to choose the sample rate for your bounced audio file(s). Options
range from 11,025 to 192,000 Hz, and include the three most commonly used sample
rates: 44,100 (CD-DA), 48,000 (DAT), and 96,000 (DVD).
File Type
You can choose between Split (for use in Pro Tools), or Interleaved (for further use in
Logic Pro, or for CD writing software).
Note: Choosing Split disables Burn, if chosen in the Destination pane.
Dithering
Dithering is recommended when bouncing 24 bit recordings into 16 bit files.
Surround Bounce
Turn on Surround Bounce to bounce all outputs in the project surround format (File >
Project Settings > Audio > Surround Format).
Each Surround channel is bounced to a separate file.
