Share With SoundCloud Lets you share your mix
with SoundCloud, a social audio sharing site
that lets you feature your tracks or playlists on
social networks (such as Twitter, Facebook, and
Google+). When this option is selected, the
bounced file is automatically uploaded to your
SoundCloud account. If you do not have an ac-
count, you can create one for free.
Additional Bounce Options
The following Bounce options are only available
when bouncing to a different file type, format,
resolution, or sample rate.
Conversion Quality Selects the quality, with op-
tion ranging from
Low to Tweak Head, when
bouncing to a new sample rate.
Use Squeezer Optimizes the dynamics of the
bounced audio before conversion to 8-bit reso-
lution.
Convert During Bounce Automatically per-
forms file type, sample rate, and bit resolution
conversion as the file is being bounced.
Convert After Bounce Automatically performs
file type, sample rate, and bit resolution conver-
sion after the file has been bounced.
Bounce to QuickTime Movie
This command lets you bounce the main video
track (QuickTime or Avid
®
video) and a mono or
stereo mixdown of your session to a new Quick-
Time movie. Pro Tools will convert the audio
tracks to the selected sample rate and bit resolu-
tion, then create a new flattened movie with the
bounced audio. As a QuickTime file, the new
movie is supported by all software applications
that support QuickTime video. For detailed in-
formation about bouncing video tracks to a
QuickTime or Avid video, refer to the Pro Tools
Reference Guide.
Import
Pro Tools provides several menu commands to
import files and clips into an open session.
Import Session Data
This command lets you import selected session
data from an existing session into the current
session. Use this option to import entire tracks
from one session into another. Options are pro-
vided for text encoding, timecode mapping,
track offset options, sample rate conversion,
and copying, converting, and referencing audio
and video source files. The Import Session Data
command also lets you import the Tempo Meter
Map, and any Key Signature Maps, Mark-
ers/Memory Locations, and Window Configura-
tions.
The Convert After Bounce option takes
slightly longer that the Covert During
Bounce option, but may better preserve the
timing and results of automation data in
some cases.
