Hey guys,

Haven't posted here in a while, but I'm back.

I'm running Logic Express 7, and with my new EWQL Symp. Orchestral Silver (would HIGHLY recommend), I'm running into some RAM shortages (it's understandable seeing as some of the samples are 300MB plus). Does anyone know a way that I can easily bounce one MIDI region
at a time in logic to an aiff file while still retaining the original MIDI region?

It's probably easy to do, I just don't know how

Thanks,
Connor

You can do a bounce and add, that will add the new audio file to the audio window. Then you can place the audio where you want it.

How do I do that?

Save your work. Go to Environment>Audio. Should look like a mixing desk - lots of channel strips. Go to the right until you find one called "Output". At the bottom of the strip is a button called "Bounce". Press it! Choose from the options (up to you). You should end up with a stereo mix of all your current tracks as an audio file, which you can find by accessing the "Audio" dropdown.

There's no easier way to just bounce one region?

On the track mixer hit the global button to reveal ALL available tracks and busses. select the channel strip tha matches your Master output. Engage the bounce button, a dialog box will appear that will give you several options for bouncing. One of them is Bounce and Add.

Then you can drag and drop the audio in the proper place on the arrange page.

To bounce one region, just press the solo button on the track you want to bounce, and then in the bounce dialog that comes up when you hit the bounce button on the output track, enter the begin and end times of the region you want to bounce.

That's all there is to it.

You could also set the cycle bar to the begin and end times of the region to make it easier still...

if you only want to do one region out of the entire track. Example: a four bar loop from an 16 bar sequence

you would highlight that region > file > export audio as then pick what you want to export the region as.

end of story.

ciao.

Select track from track list in arrange page.
GoTo File menu>export>Bounce Track.
From the following menu select the disk/partition/folder.
Select bit rate, etc. Press save.
It will save the track similar to the freeze function.
In this mode no audio will be recorded before bar 1. (as with"freeze").
The bounce button on the output object is similar and will permit record before bar 1, but I find it a bit longer to do, especially if you don't need auxs etc in the mix.
The first method allows all plugs that are active on the selected track to be exported as well.
You have to manually import the resulting audio file back into the arrange page.
