Freeze Tracks is about as close as it gets. You can't bounce multiple tracks into multiple audio files at the same time.

You can setup an aux track with a multitrack output, bus audio into this aux and Bounce To Disk Broadcast Wave, Deinterleaved files. Set the multitrack output as the source. Rename the resulting files so they don't appear to be a multitrack file format.

Create an Aggregate Device to have more outputs.

De-interleaved. I didn't think of that. How many tracks can you do that way? Do you have to set it up as a 5.1 or something? Or just any number of tracks (done that way) will result in the same number of bounces?

Can you describe more details?

I believe you're limited to the number of valid outputs.
Bouncing may also require a standard multi-channel format.
It would seem 4GB is the total BWAV file size limit.

So it appears one could bounce 12 stems using a 10.2 output, I didn't try that as I would need to hook up an additional interface to have enough valid outputs.

7.1 which yielded 8 tracks worked. MOTU Traveler for 6 outputs + Built-In Audio for 2 more, setup as an aggregate device, as outlined here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202000

Here's an example project: http://tinyurl.com/nvz25ec
where 8 tracks bounced to 8 stems which were renamed and
then imported into the project.

Well, holy Mark VI-a-moly, Bat-Reedster! I think you've just opened up the door for a paradigm change. It seems to me that MOTU could run with this and offer all kinds of convenient bounciness without having to risk too much code. I can't believe I never even thought of this. That's brilliant out-of-the-box thinking for in-the-box mixing. How'd you come up with that?
