Bounce—the Final Mix
Bounce is a realtime or offline (faster than realtime) digital process. The entire song—or
a section of it defined by the left and right Locators—is combined into a single mono
or stereo file.
Note: In Logic Pro it is also possible to Bounce to a number of discrete files for Surround
sound purposes. Please consult the Logic reference for further information.
To bounce all tracks routed to Output 1-2:
1 Choose File > Bounce from the main menu bar. The Bounce dialog will launch. (The
screenshot below shows the Bounce dialog of Logic Pro. The Logic Express Bounce
dialog looks slightly different.)
2 Check that the Start and End positions are correct. By default, they will encompass the
area from the beginning of the first Audio Region to the end of the last Audio Region.
You may wish to add an extra bar or so to the End position, to ensure that you capture
any Reverb tails or Delay repeats, if applicable.
3 Select the other parameters—File Format, Resolution, Sample Rate, Stereo File Type,
Surround Bounce, Dithering, and Bounce Mode (Realtime or Offline) as desired, by click-
holding in each pull-down menu panel. Further information on these parameters is
available in the Logic reference and Onscreen Help system.
Note: You may select between various audio file formats when bouncing (MP3, for
example) and may also burn a CD directly from the Bounce dialog.
4 Press the Bounce button and an operating system File Save dialog window will open.
Browse to the desired folder, and name the file.
5 Press Save and the bounce will commence.
