Bouncing tracks woes

I know how to bounce tracks rom midi to audio. How the heck do I bounce multiple tracks of audio down to a single track?

    Send them to a bus
    select that bus
    EDIT>BOUNCE TO TRACKS
    select BUS as your source
    new track as your destination

    If there all going to the master bus, you can select entire mix, instead of making/sending them to a new bus and directing all the tracks to that new bus

    Fastest, easiest way:

    1. solo the tracks you want to bounce
    2. optionally select the timeline region you want to bounce
    3. go to Process -> Bounce to Track(s)
    4. under "Destination", choose a track to receive the data, or "New Track" if you haven't already created the destination track
    5. under "Source Category", select "entire mix"
    6. Make sure all the mix enable options are checked and click OK

    Warning: the downside to this method, compared to Beagle's suggestion, is that any plugins you have on the master or submix busses will be in-circuit unless you bypass them. For example, if you have a reverb bus your bounced track will have reverb printed on it, which you may not want.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Dumb question!!   Unless it is because your mammoth song has like 100 tracks and is absoulutely straining the hell out of your daw.... why would you bounce tracks in the daw realm?   I remember doing this in my tascam 8 track to make room for more but why limit your ability to go back and remix/tweak if you don't need to?

    Hey Chuck, Not sure if I understand your question, but let me try. The reason I bounce down my mix to two tracks, is for mastering purposes. Less strain on the daw, plus you are not tweaking your mix, if the mix is good, one does not want to do that. Normally I will bounce down to two tracks inside of the same project. Then if while mastering, I find a problem, I can go into the mix , and tweak it, and bounce to two different tracks... and compare the mastering that way...

    Ok.  I use the export function to get the stereo wave file which I then open in a mastering template.   6 of 1, half dozen of the other I guess?

    There are plenty of legitimate reasons for internal bouncing, even if the original motivation for doing so no longer applies. Some are technical, such as CPU conservation, but many are artistic.
