Bouncing Individual Tracks in P T

[vaesion]

I am a nuendo user and im getting protools m powered so I can bounce the waves out of it to put in nuendo. Can someone please tell me whats the easiest way to bounce all the tracks individually? theres GOTTTTTAAAAAAAA BBEEE a quicker way than it taking the time of the whole song for each track!
In nuendo I draw an empty wave window at the 1 for every track that has sound, highlight everything then do bounce audio. It bounces everything in about 1 minutes tops, then I go to my pool and do remove unused files and IM left with a block of audio in my audio folder that works.
Im looking forward to learning protools

Is it similar in Pro Tools?

FILE/Save Copy In (very important)
open that session copy
edit window...highlight all audio from beginning to end of song
EDIT/Consolidate
REGIONS LIST/Select/all unused audio
REGIONS LIST/Clear
save session
close PT


import audio into ..(whatever DAW)
delete silence

A simpler take on this would be to set groups to all and duplicate the current playlist (this will preserve your existing regions if you ever need to go back). Select all of the tracks from the beginning of the session and in the Edit menu go to consolidate.

If you go to the audio folder within the session folder and view by date, all of your flattened tracks should appear at the top.

When placing the audio in Nuendo just align the beginning of all of the tracks and you should be good to go.

After the consolodation, you can also do Export Selected as soundfiles and choose a new folder for the audio so that you can just leave your PT folder alone....

All the above posts work if you don't want to use any of the audio POST PLUG IN. If you want the effected track to be bounced try the following:

If you have plug in eq's, etc. on the tracks, you will need to either then double click on the targeted consolidated region (just created as above posts' instructions) and copy the setting of the first plug in on the track and paste those settings to the Audiosuite equivalent of the plug in (be it tdm or rtas) then Process the region. Then go to the next plug in on the same track (if there are others- say eq, then compressor, etc.) and do the same (I create a new playlist before each Audiosuite process). If there is no Audiosuite equivalent, guess what? Yep, realtime bounce of the track. Solo it and bounce to disk or you can record to another track, etc, then export.

If you need the effects on the track, and you are using PT 7, Create 16 mono audio tracks, they should be selceted when they are created, the choose the input of those tracks by using CNTRL+SHIFT+ALT (windows) and select the input of your FIRST track to bus 1 and the rest will follow up to bus 16, then select the tracks you need your effects on by holding shift and cliking on them. Do the same only this time select the OUTPUT of your tracks. Put the new audio tracks in record and record them. It will be way faster to do this on a 32 track session, two passes through the song, and it all only takes about 1 minute longer than two passes through the song
You will not want to AudioSuite four or five inserts on an audio file tutt as you will degrade the sound and it will take longer to do all of those tracks one AS plug at a time
Just make sure that you turn on and off the voices you need. I run stem files for commercials and other stuff in this way, and it is fast and it sounds better than the AS method. Having the MPT though has been a real life saver in track count in these types of situations

Yeah, what he said! Nice tip! Saves more time and audio!!!!!

when i do consolidate it doesnt make sure every track starts on the 1....
In nuendo I would get my pencil tool and draw in empty space at the 1 on every track then highlight it all then bounce. That insured they were all on the 1. how do u do that in protools. this is my first time ever using it.

When selecting the tracks you want to consolidate, place your cursur at the end of the song and press: shift+return and it will select from where the cursur is to the 1.

BTW, hitting "return" will always take you back to the 1.
