Recording a Submix (with
Bounce To Disk)
You can create a submix with the Bounce to Disk
command by muting tracks or bypassing inserts
that are not part of the submix group, and se-
lecting the part of the session you want to
bounce. Or, you could solo only the audio you
want to bounce.
You can also create a submix by recording to
new tracks. For details, see “Recording to
Tracks” on page 481.
