Bouncing to Tracks
To create a stereo mixdown (or submix) within Pro Tools, you can record any or all of your session tracks to an available stereo audio track. This technique lets you add live input to the mix, adjusting volume, pan, mute, and other controls in real time during the mixdown process. Recording to tracks requires that you have an available voiced track for each channel that you will be recording. For a stereo mix using Pro Tools M-Powered 7 or Pro Tools LE 7, this simply means that you will need a stereo audio track or two mono audio tracks available.
TIP: Bouncing tracks in a large session using Pro Tools HD might require that you consider voice allocation. Voicing considerations are covered in advanced courses.
The typical process for creating a stereo mixdown within a session is to combine the audio output of selected tracks using an internal bus and to record the resulting mix onto a separate stereo audio track.
To create a stereo mixdown using this method, do the following:
1. Create a stereo mix from the source tracks as described in Chapter 9, using appropriate settings for volume, panning, inserts, sends, plug-ins, and automation.
2. Set the output for each track you want to include to the same unused stereo bus. These tracks will be the source playback tracks for the bus bounce.
3. Create a stereo Audio track and record-enable the track. This track will be the destination track for the bus bounce.
4. Set the inputs for the stereo track to correspond to the stereo output bus you selected in step 2, and set the output for the track to your main output path (typically Analog 1-2).
5. Do one of the following:
• Make a selection (to manually set the start and end times for the bounce).
• Place the playback cursor at the beginning of the session or at the desired start point.
6. In the Transport window, click the RECORD button followed by the PLAY button to begin recording the bounce.
7. During recording, perform any desired "live" mixing, such as Volume Fader adjustments and panning changes.
8. Allow recording to continue until playback stops automatically (if recording from a selection) or until you reach the desired end point. To stop the recording manually, click the S-rop button in the Transport window or press the SPACEBAR.
TIP: After the recording is complete, you should see the waveform for your combined source tracks on the destinations tracks. If no waveform is present, check the settings for your source outputs and record inputs and verify that the faders are set to an audible level.
9. Disarm the record-enabled track and rename the recorded region if desired.
Once you have combined multiple tracks into a single stereo track, you can continue with more recording or editing, using the stereo track in place of any original tracks to free up resources. You can also use the stereo track as part of a Bounce to Disk operation to create a completed audio mix.
