PCM Options in the Bounce Window
Choose the PCM name (and activate the checkbox) in the Destination pane to access
the following options:
File Format
Choose from the SDII, AIFF, (Broadcast) Wave, or CAF format.
PCM files in these formats can be automatically added to the Audio Bin by enabling the
Add to Audio Bin checkbox.
Resolution
This is where you define the resolution of the bounced file. The options are 16 Bit (for
CD delivery), 8 Bit (for multimedia productions,) or 24 Bit (for mastering to DVD).
Sample Rate
This menu allows you to choose the sample rate for your bounced audio file(s). Options
range from 11,025 to 192,000 Hz, and include the three most commonly used sample
rates: 44,100 (CD-DA), 48,000 (DAT), and 96,000 (DVD).
File Type
You can choose between Split (for use in Pro Tools), or Interleaved (for further use in
Logic Express, or for CD writing software).
Note: Choosing Split disables Burn, if chosen in the Destination pane.
Dithering
Dithering is recommended when bouncing 24 bit recordings into 16 bit files.
“Add to” Options
The Add to Audio Bin option adds the bounced PCM file(s) to the Audio Bin.
The Add to iTunes library option adds the bounced PCM file to the iTunes library.
Note: iTunes does not support SDII or CAF format files. If the File Format menu is set to
SDII or CAF, this checkbox is dimmed, and can’t be used.
