IMPORTING AND EXPORTING AUDIO

D Select “New Tracks in Song” to bounce the Mixer Channels to new Audio Tracks in the song.
When “New Tracks in Song” is selected, the File Format settings in the dialog are disabled (as is the "Export
Tempo Track (.MID)" setting). The audio will be rendered at the current song’s sample rate (i.e. what you have pre-
viously set up in the hardware audio interface), at full 32-bit float resolution.
Clicking OK will create a new Audio Track for each selected Mixer Channel, create an Audio Clip on each of these
Tracks and render the Mixer Channel audio as a recording on a Comp Row in the Audio Clip.
The new Audio Tracks will get the names and colors of their corresponding (bounced) Mixer Channels. The Audio
Clips will get the same color but will not be labeled (named).
The new recordings (on the Comp Rows) will get the name of their source Mixer Channels + "(Bounced)", e.g.
"Picked Guitar (Bounced)" if the bounced Mixer Channel’s name is “Picked Guitar”.
Selecting "Mute Original Channels" will mute all bounced Mixer Channels (those selected in the Mixer Channels
list) after the bouncing. If there are automation lanes for their Mute buttons, their ON buttons will be turned off.
If you selected “None” in the “Apply mixer settings” section, you will be given the option to copy the original mixer
channel settings to the destination channels. To do this, tick the “Copy original channel settings” box.
! The “Mute Original Channels” setting does not affect the Master Section or the FX Returns.
D Select “Audio Files on Disk” to bounce the Mixer Channels to audio files on disk.
When “Audio Files on Disk” is selected, the "Mute Original Channels" option in the dialog is automatically disabled.
Choose File Type, Sample Rate, Bit Depth and any Dither in the “File Format” section.
Clicking OK will bring up a Save dialog which allows you to select a folder, or create a new folder. Clicking Save
will then create one audio file per selected Mixer Channel and place in a sub-folder named “Bounced <song
name>”. All audio files will have the file type, sample rate and bit depth as defined in the “File Format” section.
The audio files will get the name of the bounced Mixer Channels, plus the File Type extension. If several selected
Mixer Channels have the same name, an incremental number (starting with "-01") will be automatically added be-
fore the file extension.
The Song Tempo, and any Tempo Automation, is also included in the exported audio files. This means that if you
import the audio files into another Reason Song document, they will automatically be stretched to the Song Tempo
of that song.
If "Export Tempo Track (.MID)" is activated, the bounce function will also export a separate MIDI file containing the
Song Tempo, and any Tempo Automation data. The MIDI file will have the name of the song, with the extension
".MID". This MIDI file can then be imported to the tempo automation lane in another Reason Song document, or to
the tempo track in another DAW, to automatically set the song tempo and control any tempo automation in the se-
quencer.
! Note that the “Export Tempo Track” option is available only if you have selected “Audio Files on Disk" in the
“Bounce to:” section and “Song” in the “Range to Bounce:” section.
Bouncing Audio Clips
The “Bounce Clip to Disk” function
The “Bounce Clip to Disk” function becomes available when a single Audio Clip is selected (in Arrange Mode or Edit
Mode). The function allows you to bounce single Audio Clips, after the Clip Level and Fades but without the Mixer
Channel settings, to disk for further processing in an external application, for example. Do like this to bounce an audio
clip to disk:
1. Select an Audio Clip and choose “Bounce Clip to Disk...” from the Edit menu or context menu.
The “Bounce Clip As Audio File” dialog appears. It looks the same, and has the same functionality, as the “Export
Song as Audio File” and “Export Loop as Audio File” dialogs.
