What is the best way to save to desktop individual drum tracks with all plug ins including master channel fx at highest quality? Is it best to crank the individual channel as high w/o clipping to get max volume of track?

When you start mixing tracks frozen at high volumes, you're looking at all kinds of troubles. Better to keep the range about -15dB, or so. There's nothing wrong with doing what you said if you're willing to work around the problems that it creates later on. After all, internally DP has immense headroom at 32bits FP for all tracks and busses. But only if you know what you're doing and how to avoid problems in the final output.
I find that mixing goes a lot faster, and the overall cohesion of the tracks sounds more like a live recording, if I keep the track levels in a good listening range that rarely approaches the yellow in the meters.

Re: Bouncing to Disk or Freezing?
got it -
Dave from Motu was recommending "Freezing" and re-assigning the output mono/stereo best way to get tracks to desktop . If I have plug ins on the master fader , doesn't freezing just grab the individual track and avoid master involvement? thanks

Re: Bouncing to Disk or Freezing?
If you want to include in a track its plug-ins, send FXs, and possible submix aux groups, and whatever you have in the Master Fader, then you MUST use BTD, or record DP´s output in real time.
If you're working at 24 bits, I suggest leaving the levels alone and bounce them "as they come out" (unless you have a good reason not to).

Re: Bouncing to Disk or Freezing?
ok great , so back to my original question :
what is the best way to bounce multiple individual tracks at the highest quality including all plug ins / master fader
BTD >
sample format > same as project
AIFF - interleaved or deinterleaved?
mono or st depending on track
thanks!
