The term “bouncing” comes from the analog era, when tape machines had a limited number of tracks, and they needed to be “bounced down” to make room for more. How do I extract MIDI files/sequences from my project? How do I export tracks with plugins and effects written onto them? How do I export a raw audio file if my track has effects on it? What is the difference between freezing and bouncing? How is bouncing different than exporting? Below I have included some frequently asked questions regarding the topic: It seems like every DAW calls this something else, and every DAW has a different way of doing it. Thank you for reading.The concept of bouncing seems to be one of the most misunderstood and confusing terms for beginners in music production. Over time you will know exactly how to tame your CPU resources so it performs seamlessly day in and day out. NOTE: Be sure to create a “SAVE AS” session should you want to revisit the original file before you bounced everything and committed every track to audio.Take your time and apply these functions. Once you have your song almost to the point of completion, you can use this feature (which will make free up most of your CPU resources), it will bounce every track to audio and then you can put the finishing touches on your track.

Another new feature in Logic is the new command “Bounce – And Replace All Tracks Feature”.

My recommendation is when you are ready…commit to audio, bounce the region/track, and never look back.

Although it can be a bit clunky if you turn this feature on and off to make edits.

Freezing tracks in Logic is a good way to free up your CPU.

This frees you up from having to commit a Plug-In to a channel strip hence it saves you CPU power.įreezing, Bouncing Tracks, and Bouncing All Tracks

Essentially, “SBP” allows you to process just a specific area with effects instead of the using up whole channel strip.

Pre-Listen and Click are reserved for track 256. Once you do that, you can find the tracks for “Selection Based Processing” nestled in the “background” of Logic on tracks 254 and 255. An audio region must be selected and you must summon the command “Show/Hide Selection – Based Processing” (Key Command: Option+Shift+P). You will not find it in the mixer at first glance.

This is a newer feature to Logic (10.3).

This is a simple solution that will free up CPU resources immediately Use “Selection Based Processing”.Here are some things you can do right now to help in this department: My aim in this article is to help you manage your CPU effectively. You have to be able to troubleshoot any issues that come up and you have to be able to manage your Computers resources in a timely manner (especially if you are doing this professionally). Modern music productions today is inextricably linked with a basic technical understanding of the Computer. This is Eddie Grey with Garnish Music Production.
