You should get out of the habit of bouncing mixes. Instead, learn to record to an audio track and export the file in whatever format you want.
It saves time, is safer, and allows multiple mixes to be output.
With your faster than real time bounce, do you ever listen to the file? You should. part of good QC. But the listen is in real time. so, you are adding the NRT bounce time into the process. With Recording the mix to a track you listen AS you make the file. In Post, you can WATCH the show AS you make the file. Hear a hiccup, or mistake, or want to tweak something? stop, fix, punch in. Worried about the client review time? Print your mix as you review with the client. When approved, you are done. No need to go back and bounce.
Learn to set up busses for all your mixes and stems. In basic TV mixing, you often have to do a mix and Mono M&E's and V&N tracks. Don't bounce three times, setup routing and print all those things in ONE pass AS you watch.
Need to output all the version of a spot or piece, or "multiple thirty-minute bounces in an hour"? Learn to set up your session with them stacked in the place for the file creation.
