Welcome to Pro Tools LE & Eleven Rack 19
Get Your Music Out to the World
After you’ve finished recording and editing tracks in a Pro Tools session you’re ready to mix down. In
these pages you’ll see how to do this using the Pro Tools Bounce to Disk feature to combine all the
tracks that make up a session into a single “master” audio file. After the new audio file has been
bounced to disk, you can burn it to a CD or convert it to MP3 using a CD burning application like
iTunes.
To create a stereo master from a session:
1 Use the Selector to click-drag the length of the session in the Timeline, or on a track. (You may want
to use the Filtered Dream Demo Session the first time you try to Bounce to Disk.)
2 Choose File > Bounce to > Disk.
3 In the Bounce Options dialog, do the following to create a CD-compatible 2-track of your audio:
• Choose Outputs 1–2 as the Bounce Source.
• Choose BWF (.WAV) for the File Type.
• Choose Stereo Interleaved for the Format.
• Choose 16 for the Resolution and 44100 for the Sample Rate.
If you need to bounce directly to MP3 format, you can add the MP3 Option to your Pro Tools system.
Check the Avid Online Store (http://shop.avid.com), or contact your Pro Tools dealer if you’d like more
information. To learn more about the other options in the Bounce to Disk dialog, see the
Pro Tools Reference Guide.
