Time Stamp Information Bounced material is au-
tomatically time stamped so that you can drag it
into a track and place it at the same location as
the original material. For more information
about time stamping, see “Time Stamping” on
page 814.
Bounced Files Are Delay-Compensated
Pro Tools compensates for any bus and plug-in
delays due to a bounce. This means that if a
bounce file is imported back into a session, and
placed directly in time against the source mix, it
is time-aligned with the original source mix.
Record-Enabled Tracks and TrackInput-Enabled
Tracks Cannot Be Bounced
Pro Tools does not allow you to bounce tracks
that are either record-enabled or in Input Only
monitoring mode.
To Bounce to Disk:
1
Make a Timeline selection to define the range
to be bounced.
2
Choose File > Bounce to > Disk.
3
Configure the Bounce options (see “Bounce
Options” on page 747).
4
Click Bounce.
Bouncing with Mute Frees Assigned
Voice (Pro Tools HD Only)
When bouncing sessions that include muted
tracks, enabling “Mute Frees Assigned Voice”
can, in some instances, increase the number of
tracks that can be successfully bounced. See
“Mute Frees Assigned Voice” on page 145.

you can configure several file options.
