+ + Selected region or multiple selected regions from any tracks can be exported + to dedicated files. This creates audio files on the disk inside project's + 'interchange' folder and automatically adds them to the Sources list. +

+ +

+ There are two commands to do so: + Bouncing without processing and + Bouncing with processing, both available in the + top-level Region menu, as well as in the + context (right-click) menu of regions. +

+ +

Bouncing without processing

+ +

+ This method disables all processing in the mixer channel, including + fader/panner and pre- and post-fader processors. It will however apply + non-destructive gain adjustment and fade in/out envelopes to audio clips. +

+ +

+ Dropping all processing in the mixer channel effectively means that in the + case of MIDI regions, MIDI files will be exported to the disk. +

+ +

+ The dialog with bouncing settings will provide different options based on + several possible scenarios. +

+ +

One track, one region

+ +

If just one region is selected, Ardour will automatically suggest using the region name as is. It will also provide two options:

+ + + +
+ Bouncing a single region without processing +
Bouncing a single region without processing
+
+ +

Multiple tracks, one region per each track

+ +

+ When the selection contains multiple regions, and each region is on a + separate track, this makes it possible to automatically add exported files to + respective slots in a cue. However since multiple regions are selected, + Ardour will use original region names and prepend them with user-given text, + if the user shooses to submit any. E.g. adding "take1-" prefix to "piano" and + "bass" regions of respective mono tracks will create "take1-piano.wav" and "take1-bass.wav" files. +

+ +
+ Bouncing single regions on different tracks +

+
+ +

One or more tracks, two and more regions per track

+ +

+ When the selection contains at least two regions in the same track, the + option to add bounced files to cue slots is not available, as two and more + clips cannot be loaded into the same slot. Ardour will also ask for an + optional prefix and provide an option to bounce to the Clips folder. +

+ +

+ +

Bouncing with processing

+ +

+ This method applies all processing in the mixer channel. If the original + data is MIDI and it passes a virtual instrument that translates it into + audio, an audio file will be exported. Since this changes the nature of the + data, bouncing to trigger slots is unavailable as MIDI tracks cannot contain + audio data. +

+ +

+ Just like in the case of bouncing without processing, availability of options + depends on the use case. +

+ +

One track, one region

+ +

+ In this scenario, Ardour will automatically suggest using region's name and + provide an option to bounce to the Clips folder. +

+ +
+ Bouncing a single region with processing +

+
+ +

Any amount of tracks and regions per track

+ +

+ In this scenario, Ardour will use an optional user-defined prefix to prepend + original region names with it when creating audio files. There also is an + option to bounce to the Clips folder. +
