636 Chapter 27 Bouncing Your Project
Dithering (Only Available When CDDA is Chosen in the Mode Menu)
Use of the Dithering parameter is recommended when bouncing 24 bit recordings into
16 bit files.
Note: If you attempt to switch the PCM Resolution to 16 Bit when in DVD-A Burn Mode,
DVD burning is automatically disabled (following a warning).
Bounce & Burn
Clicking the Bounce & Burn button initiates the bounce, and burns the audio to CD or
DVD.
Note: Following confirmation of the file location(s), you may encounter further dialogs
that will ask if you want to overwrite existing files. Use these as required.
Media Status and Information Fields
The Media Status field indicates the type of media in the chosen Device.
The field below indicates the current PCM page settings (if applicable).
A further field, above the Cancel and Bounce & Burn button, indicates the amount of
disk space required, and the time (length, shown in hours, minutes, and seconds) of the
bounce area.
Note: You can not directly alter any information shown in these areas.
Setting the Bounce File Name and Folder
By default, bounce files are:
 Named after the chosen output channel strip (the Bounce button you clicked), or
Output 1-2, if the Bounce window was opened with the File > Bounce command.
 Saved in the Bounces sub-folder of the project folder, but you can choose any folder
on any Volume.
To set the bounce file name and folder:
1 Simply type the desired file name in the Save As: field to change the default file name,
and choose another folder, if you like.
2 Click the New Folder button at the lower left of the Bounce window to create a new
folder, if desired.
3 Click the Bounce (or Bounce and Burn) button.
All files (if multiple files are created) are saved in the chosen folder, and assigned the
name you entered, with appropriate file extensions: wav, aif, m4a, and so on.
