Bounce to Track(s) dialog
Dialog box reference
Also with this option, if any buses are soloed, only the buses soloed are included in the mixdown.
• Track Automation. If you don’t check this option, any volume and pan automation, including
initial volume and pan settings , is ignored when creating the new track(s). The amplitude of the
raw data in the tracks is used, and the pan is C, or centered.
• Clip Automation. If you don’t check this option, any clip automation, including any trim
settings , is ignored when creating the new track(s).
• Bus Automation
• FX Automation
• Track FX. If you don’t check this option, any effects patched into various tracks’ patch points,
including any plug-in synthesizers patched into track fx patch points , are ignored when
creating the new track(s).
• Bus FX. If you don’t check this option, any effects patched into buses, including any plug-in
synthesizers patched into buses , are ignored when creating the new track(s).
• Fast Bounce. When checked, SONAR bounces to tracks as fast as your computer will allow. If
unchecked, bouncing to tracks happens in real time. Uncheck this option if you are using a synth
that only works in real time. This option is checked by default.
• Audible Bounce. The Audible Bounce option is only available when in real-time bounce mode
(when Fast Bounce is unchecked). When Audible Bounce is unchecked, no audio output will be
heard during the bounce process. When in real-time bounce mode (Fast Bounce unchecked) and
Audible Bounce is enabled, you can hear the output of the mixdown.
• 64-bit Engine. This option lets you turn on the 64-bit mix engine temporarily while you bounce
your tracks. This produces a higher-quality bounce without taxing your CPU during the rest of
your session.

“To convert your soft synth tracks to new audio tracks” on page 864
Note: Depending on the gainstages used in the project and the mixdown options selected–such
as bouncing with source category assigned to Tracks, or with mute/solo or automation disabled
in the bounce settings or while freezing tracks–the output may be louder or softer than during
normal playback. Please be sure to turn down the master output level before using real-time
audible bounce under these scenarios to avoid the possibility of speaker damage.
