Hy everyone!!

I think the question is quite easy... Is it possible in logic pro 6 to bounce each track of a sequence in a different sound file?

Thank you very much!!

you could solo the tracks and bounce them one at a time, it could be a pain if there are lots of tracks but it is a way of ending up with seperate audio files for each track. There may be a quicker way of doing it, this is just off the top of my head.

Hope it helps

Thank you very much, but I already thought of that...

The thing is I have to bounce 8 sequences of about 16 tracks each and 5min long for sunday so I thought that emagic would have been kind to offer me this function ...

Anyway, you can digitally mixdown one audio track simply in the sequencer (it creates a new audiofile in the folder you choosed) but it isn't possible with sampler instruments tracks, which are 80% of what I have to bounce

If it isn't possible, they should put up this option in next version of logic... A friend told me it is possible on Acid!!!!

I have to do this all the time - just so that customers can take their tracks and use them in other systems (at home on cubase usually) it's annoying. People do like to buy the master of what they have so they can take it elsewhere to mix.

This means if someone wants "the master" they have to pay an extra hour for every song just to get it in a format they can use it. So for four songs you have to allow an extra half day. And yes - this is bouncing stuff offline - because you then have to go back and check the tracks are okay and you haven't accidentally stuck your Hi Hat on your bass drum track. This amount of extra cost just to get a master does put people off.

I disagree that you can't do this with sequence tracks.

If you are using virtual instruments they act just the same as audio tracks when you bounce. I do this all the time.

When I talked to logic about this some time ago - they didn't see a need to be able to output all tracks as individual .wavs or whatever since everything is timestamped. But when you're giving stuff to people who still think you record on reel to reel analogue ...

Someone must have a clever fix for this?

The way I have approached this when up against a deadline is to use the freeze function in logic. The only thing to watch out for is the bit depth of the freeze function (which can be user defined) as logic will default to 32 bit and be of little use to any other program. Also remember to set the song length to just past the end of your arrangement to save generating over-long files.

NB. You may have to name the freeze files so that they make sense to others working with the audio.

I didn't think about the freeze option... That sounds great!! Thank you very much Dave, you saved my "precious" time

Using these "Frozen" Tracks is also a great way to get audio from the native part of the application over the TDM part with much less hassle!!
