Hi all. Been using DP for many years but mostly MIDI and I have little experience doing much with audio. I usually create full arrangements in MIDI, then record-enable audio tracks to “capture” the sequence to multi-track audio.
If I want to have a single, summed track of the mix IN MONO, is bouncing the way to go?
Thanks.

Re: Freeze v bounce
Yes, bouncing is the process for creating a single file from many tracks in a mix.
Freeze is when you want to capture the effects applied to an individual track, usually to save resources.
You can freeze MIDI and audio tracks, is my understanding.
Cheers!
