Audio Mixdown of Selected Tracks (Bouncing)

Sometimes it can become necessary to combine multiple tracks of a project into one

or to convert CPU-hungry instrument tracks to audio. This is called bouncing tracks.

Proceed as follows:

1. Activate solo on the tracks you want to bounce. Bypass any send or output effects.

You can add them again later.

2. On the Project menu, select “Export Project as Audio File…” and specify a name

and format.

3. Locate the created audio file and drag it into the open project onto the empty

space below the last track.

A new track is created containing the bounced file. You can now mute or delete

the original tracks and adjust your mix.

Option Description

Bit Rate In this field, you can select a bit rate for the MP3 file. As a rule, the

higher the bit rate, the better the audio quality and the larger the file.

For stereo audio, 128kBit/s is often considered to result in good

audio quality.

Sample Rate Determines the frequency range of the audio – the lower the sample

rate, the lower the highest audible frequency in the audio.

High Quality Mode When activated, the encoder uses a different resampling mode,

which can give better results depending on your settings. In this

mode, you cannot specify the sample rate, but only the bit rate for

the MP3 file.

Insert ID3 Tag When you activate this option, the ID3 tags that you specified in the

ID3 Tag dialog are included in the file.

Edit ID3 Tag

button

When you click this button, the ID3 Tag dialog opens, where you

can enter information about the file. These text strings (tags) can be

displayed in most MP3 playback applications.

This function is only available if iTunes is installed on your computer.
