Hi Team, In my old DAW software (cubase SX- am I allowed to say that here ) There is a mixdown option which is similar to bounce to disc but much faster than real time. Is there any way of doing this with PTLE as I have to send some VERY ruff mixes to the artist for evaluation and could use a quicker way of doing this. Many thanks Lizardpoint

There was a post on this about a week ago. If you are trying to bounce a session to disk... real time is the only way to go unless you wanted to bounce a single track. Digi says unless this feature comes out for HD, dont expect it for LE anytime soon.

how about they make it part of the MP3 option, where as you can bounce in faster than real time if you bounce it to an MP3, and if you want .wav you have to do it real time. because the only time i would bounce faster than real time is for rough copies

Isn't the problem to do with the amount of number crunching involved (we have stability problems running LE in real time as it is) and that PT doesn't create the appropriate temp or preview files, unlike (I don't really know about other sound progs) say Premiere that will fill a temp folder full of rendered scraps - mixes, fades - as it goes along, then if you export your project the prog only needs to do the neccesary number crunch on any bits you haven't yet previewed. So one possible way in PT with minimal re-coding might be that whenever you listen to a track the whole way through a temp wav is generated (which overwrites any previous temp wav) so when you come to bounce to disk the work of rendering is already done, and the bounce can then be done super-quick. After all, who bounces to disk without first having one last listen all the way through?
