Trimming while bouncing to disk

[SteveWebb]

I am having a problem trimming the mess before and after the song when bouncing to disk. I have tried highlighting just the
song content and with no success. I may have a four minute song with eight seconds on the front and back. How can I trim the fat while I bounce the song to disk for burning a CD?

Bounce to Disk will function based upon what you have selected. So, you can select the audio portion you want to be bounced and it will do it. Sometimes it is easier to use the "separate region" command across all tracks and the removing blank space at the beginning and end of your song. You could also you a two track editor like Peak to chop off the blank space after you have bounced.

One thing I do for every session is create two markers. One at the beginning of the song called Start and one at the end called End. You can zoom in and drag each marker to exactly where you want the song to start and finish. Once the two markers are placed precisely where you want them all you have to do is click the Start marker and then shift-click the End marker to select the materilal to be played or bounced. The advantage to this over simply selecting without using markers is that it's repeatable. You can make the exact same bounce every time with no problem.

I select what I need on the master track and then save it as a selection titled "Mix" for instant recall in the Memory Locations window.

Thanks guys! works great! only problem now is
when I go to recover the bounce I am seeing
two tracks of L and R instead of just a one stereo track as I used to before I upgraded to PT5.1.1.... This is going to be a problem when I send it over to iTunes to burn it to the CDRW as iTunes will will only play one track. Any hints at what is happening and how to get one stereo track instead of two tracks of L and R?

when bouncing to disc you'll need to select
'stereo interleaved', (as well as 16bit/44.1)
FILE - BOUNCE TO DISC... - BOUNCE OPTIONS
this will create a single stereo track, which can then be written to disc

hope this helps [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
