Final Mixdown (with Bounce to Disk)

In final mixdown, you create a mix that includes all your edits, automation, and effects processing.

To bounce a final mix to disk:

1 Adjust track output levels, and finalize any mix automation for each track in the session.

2 Adjust any real-time plug-in and effects settings and their automation for each track in the session.

3 Make sure that all of the tracks you want to include in the bounce are audible (not muted or inactive).

4 Assign the output of each of the tracks you want to include in your bounce to the same output or bus path.

5 Add dither (see Using Dither).

6 Do one of the following:

To bounce the entire session, click Return to Zero in the Transport to go to the beginning of the session.
