Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 837)

• Normalize pop-up menu: You can choose between the following three states:
• Off: Normalization is turned off.
• Overload Protection Only: Downward normalization takes place in case of overloads
(levels above 0 dB, which would lead to clipping), but no normalization takes place
for lower levels.
• On: The incoming audio is scanned for the highest amplitude peak. The level of this
peak is increased to the maximum possible level (without clipping), and all other
incoming audio is increased by this amount.
Setting PCM Options in the Bounce Window
Click the PCM name and select its checkbox in the Destination pane to access the following
options:
• “File format” pop-up menu: Allows you to choose from SDII, AIFF, (Broadcast) Wave, or
CAF format. PCM files in these formats can be automatically added to the Audio Bin
by selecting the Add to Audio Bin checkbox.
• Resolution pop-up menu: Allows you to define the resolution of the bounce file. The
options are 16 Bit (for CD delivery), 8 Bit (for multimedia productions,) or 24 Bit (for
mastering to DVD).
• Sample Rate pop-up 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 pop-up menu: Allows you to choose between Split (for use in Digidesign
Pro Tools), or Interleaved (for further use in Logic Pro, or for CD writing software).
Note: Choosing Split disables Burn, if chosen in the Destination pane.
