Live sound

I'd like to grab a 2 channel mix from the board with my M Box and avoid the bounce to disk, burning a cd of the band while I set up the next one. I found a thread of someone in radio wanting the same thing ( search radio ). Bastiaan said use audiosuite to consolidate and then export. I can't find these features. Nothing under audiosuite says consolidate, but under edit there is one so i used it. the only export is greyed out under file 'export selected tracts as OMF/AAF'. I have other programs but don't want to use the crappy 1/8th in and soundcard in my lappy. I always thought consolidate was so i could slide my whole track around after editing it. BTW I'm using 6.1. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

ok you did use the correct consolidate because it is under edit not audiosuite.
but you should not have to even consolidate the region because it should already be one
region as a whole but if u did need to consolidate it that's where it would be.

next if you click teh little arrow things (not the scroll arrow) buy the bottom right
hand corner of the edit window a window will pop open with ur regions list,
you can just select the whole region in the pt session that you want to bounce and by
doing that it will be highlited in the regions list then at the top of the regions list
there is like a bar that goes across dividing that between another box which i'm not sure what
goes in there because i never looked into it, well if u click the bar a dropdown menu will appear
and you can choose export just make sure you export as stereo interleaved 16bit 44.1k then
hit export and you can burn that file

so, what is the diff between this and BTD? Where / how do you dither? confused:

By bouncing this way, you are merely consolidating the selected region into the desired format. No volume, pan, automation or RTAS info gets added into the bounce.

Just out of curiousity - does anyone ever try using alternate outputs, or even the cue mix or a y-cord off the monitor send, to record to an alternate source, say a "two-track recorder" or some other stereo recording audio program running on another computer - similar to doing a live 2-track mix in the old days? That way you could just let the session roll and do a rough mix without stopping.
