Bounce Clip(s) to New Recording(s)
! The function described below is exactly the same as clicking the “Bounce” button to the left in the Clip Over-
view, see “Bounce button”.
A very nice way to “clean up” among the recordings in a comped audio clip is to bounce the clip to a new recording.
Bouncing to a new recording is also a prerequisite to be able to edit the clip in Slice Edit mode and stretch and quan-
tize the audio.
What happens is that the audio recordings in all segments of the comped clip, including any Cut Crossfades and in-
dividual Comp Row Levels, are combined into a single recording on an additional Comp Row. After the clip has been
bounced to a new recording, you can delete the unused recordings to reduce the file size. Bouncing clips to new re-
cordings can be made for one or several selected audio clips:
D Select the clip(s) in the Clip Overview area in the Comp Editor, or select the clip(s) in the Arrange View, and
then select “Bounce > Bounce Clip(s) to New Recording(s)” from the Edit menu or context menu.
A new “combined” recording is created on a new Comp Row, which is created above the other Comp Rows on the
Edit Pane. The new Comp Row is assigned the suffix “(bounced)”.
As the clip is bounced, the clip automatically switches from a Comp clip to a Single Take clip. If you play back the
clip now, you will only hear the bounced recording on the automatically selected (topmost) Comp Row. However,
the clip will sound exactly the same as before the bounce.
If you’re happy with the result and don’t plan to edit the clip any further, you can use the “Delete Unused Record-
ings” function to delete the recordings on the original Comp Rows and reduce the file size (see “Delete Unused
Recordings”). If file size is not an issue, you can keep the original takes in the clip. This way you can switch to
Comp Mode at any time if you need to edit the comp.
q The “Bounce Clip to New Recording” function is very useful if you have imported a large audio file and only
want to use a part of it. You can bounce the part of the clip you want use to a new recording and then delete
the remaining unused part on the Comp Row to reduce the file size.
q It’s also possible to bounce Audio Clips to disk and to a Sample - see “Bouncing Audio Clips” and “Bounce
Clip(s) to New Sample(s)”.
Select the clip in the Clip Overview.
Select “Bounce Clip to New Recording” to create a new
“combined” recording on an additional Comp Row.
