Real-Time Bounce to Disk...REAL PAIN

This work-flow is much faster and more precise than any kind of a bounce.

It's simply a matter of starting at the beginning, get a mix together, record until the mix screws up, fix the problem, and then pick up the mix from an earlier point. Then I usually drag the region to a good transition point and cross-fade it. When you get to the end, select all of the recorded regions, consolidate from the edit menu, name the file and export if you need interleaved files, 16 bit or a different sample rate or format.

This is so over my head and I am not afraid to say it.

Bob, is there some way this can be explained to me in a manner I can understand or can you point me to some reading on this.

I would highly appreciate it.
