Then, set your SOLO to the X-OR setting so you can listen to all the songs while quickly switching between tracks(to make sure they sound consistent). Once you're really happy, use Track Commit to render everything.

OR: if your session is a higher sample rate/bit depth than 44.1K/16 bit and you want finals for CD burning, enable Dither on each Ozone and Bounce each in SOLO. BTW, if your sessions is already 44.1K/24 bit, you can simply export each clip to 16 bit and PT will automatically apply dither on the way.
What you write in paragraph one is what I currently do in Wavelab Elements. I don't have to worry about bit depth/sample rate as WE takes care of all that on it's own. I like the simplicity of doing it there as I don't have to futz around with setting song intervals in PT and other things. Doing it in PT I'd still have to import everything into a Wavelab montage so why not do it all there?


Yeah I could master in Ozone but just like using PT to master I'd still have to import into WE.
