Bounce with Multiple Outputs

Post by Aaron Guidry »

Hello!

I'm trying to bounce two tracks with two different output assignments down to one stereo WAV. Is this possible?

The "Bounce to Disk" pop-up menu only allows me to choose one source; consequently, only one track gets bounced to the stereo WAV. :(

Thanks!

Change the outputs to the same one. You cannot bounce two outputs to a single file AFAIK. You might bus them but I think you need an "active" output to BTD.

My only issue with changing the outputs to the same one is that I'm running one output 15-dB less than the other. So, the balance between the two tracks will be off.

Can you bus them to an AUX and adjust it there? Then send the AUX to a single out.

OR...

how do I set up Master Faders to control different outputs globally?

that might not make sense in this situation, but I think it might help me.

You'll still need setup an aux track, I think. Have you tried that yet?

I'm not quite sure what to do once the aux track is set up.

Bus the tracks to the aux and set the output to a single output.
