Pro Tools 8: How To Bounce to Disk

[Lamboswizz32]

how do u send it in an email to someone after bouncing

[WinkSound]

@Lamboswizz32 Hi, thanks for your question. Sending your bounce will probably be too heavy for regular email capacity but you can use services like Gobbler(dot)com, Sendspace or Yousendit to share your final mixes and sessions.

someone plz help im kinda new to this, when i bounce say one selected track i put my setting as wave, but when i bounce it and try to listen to it on another computer with a different software that also could play wave file,i can't see any wave form or hear any sounds?

[WinkSound]

@dlz124 Hi, thanks for your question. It might be that your bouncing at a resolution that isn't supported by the software your playing back on. Make sure your bouncing the tracks at 44.1Khz/16bit, which is commercial standard. What software are you using to playback?

[garrettguzman]

so i imported an adio track of a karaoke so that i could pitch bend it up now that i want to bounce it a screen appears saying that i should ether raise my h/w buffer or remove plug ins but its telling me to remove about 6000 i would apreciate the help new to the program thanks for youre help

Nice tutorial, ,, I have a question, I bounced as WAV file and the size is so big 60.9 MB , I see that a regular song has like 6 or 7 MB only, can you help me with that... thanks

[hunterbrown1990]

@darcort songs that are 6 or 7 mb are mp3's. .WAV files are always much larger.

I get a "could not complete the Bounce To Disk command because the request file size is too large for the type to support." Can you tell me how to fix this?

[faxmachinecarcrash]

can you help me? when ever i bounce one of my tracks the quality becomes horrible, lots the music is reduced to static like sounds, and all violin is gone.

[WiNKsound]

@faxmachinecarcrash Check when your bouncing the file that you are not reducing the bit depth and sample rate. That could be causing the inconsistency. If you are down grading the depth and rate use a dither plug in to reduce the static sounds. When down grading depth and rate the dither plug in basically masks the inconsistencies. Also make sure you are not clipping your audio that can also cause the static.

Hope that helps

Hey can you do me a favor? ......i probe youtube for Advance mixing techniques....but hardly find a great tutorial on how to deal with "Frequency Masking" i know all about panning to separate, equing two fighting frequencies differently as well...but im just looking to see it handled from another engineers perspective in a demonstrative tutorial. I would greatly Appreciate it!!

[WiNKsound]

@LastDayStudios I dont do it much differently then what you have already said. Subtractive EQ is the way to go. Just choose which sound you want to be more dominant, carry more low end, or carry more high end. Try flipping the phase of the battling sounds. Usually done with miced up snare drums (top and bottom).It sometimes opens things up better or it can really mess things up.

[WiNKsound]

@WiNKsound

You can also try and change the key or pitch of one sound over the other. It may give you the oportunity to balance things out alot easier.

Hope this all helps out. I did a tutorial on subtractive eq. Let me know if you would like to check it out and I will send it over

Talk to you soon

Is there a way to bounce all the tracks separately. or do I have to bounce each track one by one?

[tolga1975]

thanks Justin!....Peace:)

[gonnado500]

Thanks for the great videos. I just purchased the MP3 option and I thought it downloaded, but I still get the message that the MP3 option has expired or is not available. Can you help me please?

Thanks

[luckylexmusic]

hey im new to pro tools and i tried to bounce a track my vocals with a beat the beat had and 808 kick and my vocals are panned..i wanna be able to hear the panning but wen i bounce mono the bass hits nasty and wen i bounce stereo i dnt hear the panning on my vocals so wat i end up having to do is bounce each vocal by themselves is there a way i can bounce the whole song????

[stronga1999]

I'm trying to bounce my track as an mp3 but I get a window that say's "The mp3 option cannot be enabled b/c Module initialization failed for mp3.bundle. The mp3 bundle may have expired." can someone tell me what this means?

[WiNKsound]

Hi @stronga1999

Pro Tools doesn't come with the MP3 bounce option.

It's an added feature that needs to be purchased separately.

Q: i always record my vocals in mono

and i just pan them left and right to get that stereo sound,because its the only way i know how to.

is there some other ways to turn a mono track into a stereo one ?

is it good to to keep vocals in mono and just pan them ?

[WiNKsound]

Hi, thanks for your question.

Lead vocals are uni-directional, meaning that they project outward in one focused direction. You are correct in recording vocals in mono.

An example of using stereo micing to record vocals would be if your going to record a choir for instance or crowd noise from a concert where the source material is already spread across the stereo field naturally and by recording in stereo the event will be reproduced accurately.

Let me know if this info helps.

Mateo

[moneyoverbitchez1]

thanks for answering

thanks for the info as well

very useful

[WiNKsound]

Hello CCVikings,

Not to sure why this is happening. If you have alot of plug ins your computer could be skipping because its trying to process all of the plug ins. So adjust the H/W buffer size to high samples. Let me know if this helps and get back to me with any other questions

thanks, well actually for some reason, after i restarted my pc, it sounded perfect, i have no idea why, but glad it worked, but i do have a question. when i plug in my guitar and use eleven free as my amp and i put on a high gain, it causes a loud buzzing noise, like the noise ud get with any normal amp with high gain, would you know ow to get rid of the loud buzzing noise? (besides turning down the gain)

[WiNKsound]

@CCVikings That is exactly what eleven free is doing. Mimicking what a real amp would do. What you want to do is try using a noise gate to get rid of the noise. Ill send you a video I did on noise gating. Let me know how things go.

Hey thanks for your question. I am not exactly sure what the cause is for this but give me exactly what you are doing in your session and I will find out an answer for you.

Get back to you soon,
