To Bounce to Disk:
1 Choose File > Bounce to Disk.
2 Select any mono, stereo, or multichannel out-
put or bus path as the source for the bounce.
3 Select the File Type (such as WAV or MP3), For-
mat (such as mono or stereo), Resolution (such
as 16-bit), and Sample Rate (such as 44.1 kHz).
4 Click Bounce.
Dither
You should use a dither plug-in when mastering
to a 16-bit file with the Bounce To Disk com-
mand, or when mastering to an external device
that records at 16-bit. If you use Bounce to Disk,
it is important to understand that the Bounce to
Disk process does not apply dither. To dither a
bounce file, you should insert one of the in-
cluded Digidesign Dither plug-ins, or another
dithering plug-in, on a Master Fader assigned to
the bounce source path. Master Faders are often
preferable to Auxiliary Inputs because Master
Fader inserts are post-fader (which is better for
dither applications).
For more information on using dither, see
the
Pro Tools Reference Guide.
