Bouncing And Asio, problems bouncing using ASIO Options

[willm]

Hello all
My problem is that when I work with ASIO I can't bounce down to a stereo file. With Mac AV it's not a problem. When I hit bounce in the environment window I get the following message: 'Mac AV is not available'.
If I switch to Mac AV then I lose all my plug-ins. I'm using OS9.2, Logic 4.8.1 and a Waveterminal U2A USB interface (humble, but who cares?). I'm working with audio only - no midi. (I realise that the OS9 forum might be the place for this query but it's no doubt of such a basic nature that 'getting started' seemed a better place for it.)
Thanks for listening.

Do you have both Mac AV and your ASIO card driver enabled in Logic settings?

Hello Coldharbour. I've tried it with both enabled and with just the ASIO driver enabled. With both I get the message 'nothing to bounce on output 1-2' (though all the audio is routed to 1 and 2).

Is the "output 1-2" you're referring to a "Master Output" in Logic mixer? Master output has a "Bounce" button and when you click it it bounces your selection - even if there's nothing in it (then you just get silence).

Assign your ASIO master output into a bus (for example ADAT 1-2 if available) and then create a stereo input in Logic with ADAT 1-2 as input. Enable software monitoring in Logic settings and now you should have all audio from ASIO in your Logic mixer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help and patience. ADAT isn't available, actually, and I'll need to do a bit more research before I can work out how to send the master output to a bus. I'll do that before I bother the forum any further.
However, I've discovered what the problem was: the master output was - unlike the audio tracks - assigned to 'Mac' rather than 'ASIO'. I can now bounce. Apologies - this is a fairly basic blunder, I realise.
