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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are two commands to do so:
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Bouncing without processing</kbd> and
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Bouncing with processing</kbd>, both available in the
|
|
top-level <kbd class="menu">Region</kbd> menu, as well as in the
|
|
context (right-click) menu of regions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Bouncing without processing</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Dropping all processing in the mixer channel effectively means that in the
|
|
case of MIDI regions, MIDI files will be exported to the disk.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The dialog with bouncing settings will provide different options based on
|
|
several possible scenarios.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>One track, one region</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>If just one region is selected, Ardour will automatically suggest using the region name as is. It will also provide two options:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Automatically loading the exported file into a respective slot of a cue of
|
|
user's choice.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Bouncing the region to a user-defined Clips folder so that it could be
|
|
reused across sessions.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

|
|
|
|
<h3>Multiple tracks, one region per each track</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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 chooses 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.

|
|
|
|
<h3>One or more tracks, two and more regions per track</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|

<h2>Bouncing with processing</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Just like in the case of bouncing without processing, availability of options
|
|
depends on the use case.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>One track, one region</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In this scenario, Ardour will automatically suggest using region's name and
|
|
provide an option to bounce to the Clips folder.
|
|

|
|
|
|
<h3>Any amount of tracks and regions per track</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
