Bounce a project
Bounce a project to an audio file
You can render, or bounce, a project to a single audio file or to multiple audio files. A project
can be bounced to several different file formats simultaneously, and a surround project can be
bounced to a set of surround audio files.
Projects can be bounced either in real time or offline (which is typically faster). All parameters,
effects, and automation on the unmuted tracks in the project are recorded as part of the bounce
file.
The format (stereo, mono, or surround) of the resulting bounce file (or files) depends on the
format of the output channel strip. Output 1-2 is the default output channel strip used for
bounces, and produces a stereo audio file. When the output channel strip is set to mono, a mono
audio file is generated.
Bounce files can be reused in Logic Pro, saving processing resources by replacing or bypassing
multiple regions, instruments, and effects. Bounces can also be used with other music
applications and devices, sent to mastering facilities, posted on the Internet (on a webpage, or in
the iTunes Store, for example), added to an iTunes playlist, or uploaded to a mobile device such
as an iPod.
