PCM bounce options in Logic Pro
When you select PCM in the Destination area of the Bounce dialog, the following options
are available:
File format pop-up menu: Choose the PCM file format (AIFF, Broadcast Wave, or CAF).
PCM files can be automatically added to the Project Audio Browser by selecting the Add
to Project checkbox.
Resolution pop-up menu: Define the resolution of the bounce file. The options are 16 Bit
(for CD delivery), 8 Bit (for multimedia productions,) or 24 Bit (for mastering to DVD).
Sample Rate pop-up menu: Choose the sample rate for your bounce file. Options
range from 11,025 to 192,000Hz, including the three most commonly used sample
rates:44,100 (CD-DA), 48,000 (DAT), and 96,000 (DVD).
File Type pop-up menu: Choose either Split (for use in ProTools), or Interleaved (for
further use in Logic Pro or with CD writing software).
Note: Choosing Split disables Burn to CD/DVD, if it’s chosen in the Destination area.
Dithering pop-up menu: Dithering is recommended when bouncing 24-bit recordings
into 16-bit files. For details on dithering options, see About dithering algorithms in Logic
Pro.
Surround Bounce checkbox: Available when Additional Surround Options is selected
in the Advanced preferences pane. Select this checkbox to bounce all outputs in the
project surround format (File > Project Settings > Audio > Surround Format).
All surround outputs are bounced simultaneously, regardless of which output channel’s
Bounce button is clicked (or if the Bounce window was opened via File > Bounce). Each
surround channel is bounced to a separate file.
