Super-fast bounce technique...?

DDCCD · Post by **DDCCD** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 3:27 pm

I thought I saw a guy highlighting several clips in scene view and then doing a "copy" of them and "bouncing" / "pasting" them all into a single clip.

Now the one clip is the bounce of all the previous clips.

Is there anything like this possible in Live?

Thanks

select the clips, drag to arrange, consolidate, drag back to session, done.

Doc Holiday, beat me to it....

----

Are you talking about the, "left click on mouse - drop down window - consolidate," function?

There is a function, to render several clips together, they must be on the same track, and I think it only works in arrangement view. You might be able to consolidate several clips, from different scenes, on the same track in session, but I haven't tried that.

Anyways,

In arrangement view, select the clips you wish to consolidate, which is indeed like an internal bounce/render function, left click, a menu appears, choose consolidate.

This is quite rtfm mate, I don't mind helping, but you should check out the manual. Its short and easy to read.

Cheers

"select the clips, drag to arrange, consolidate, drag back to session, done."

Tried this 4 times. Selected 3 clips in scene view. Highlighted and dragged into arrngement view. Made sure they were all the same length In case that matters) and right clicked and did "consolidate." Now, in arrangement view, I am seeing exactly the same thing.... three pieces of audio.

(when does it bounce down to one?)

Anyway, I then "copy" the three bits of audio and go back to scene view ands select ONE empty clip, and do "paste"... but all three audio pieces appear again.

Do you have a screen shot? A gif/jpg?

well I can't figure out why, "consolidate, isn't working for you....

if you want to bounce from multiple tracks, use File > Export Audio/Video and draq the resulting file into Live.

Once there are three clips in arrangment view (lined up vertically) and after consolidate, the 3 should become one clip.... right?

So this is very weird. I'd be happy to do a screen shot.... but what do I actually take pic of to get this solved?

no.

you can ONLY consolidate audio clips on the SAME track. it will make a big new audio clip, while keeping the 3 former ones still available.

to make 1 clip with 3 clips on 3 tracks, you've got to hilight the time zone that embed them, mute all tracks you don't want to be bounced with, then RENDER TO DISK the highlighted time zone, you'll get a mix of the 3 clips, but be aware it will be a master mix, with all FX, levels you set up before.

the .wav file will be found in your set folder, samples/rendered.

Is it ok?

or just use resampling.. it's faster

I wish all daw software had in-project "bounce to new clip" AND "bounce to new track".

The former is basically Consolidate except that it would create a new clip, but the latter would be the solution here: bounce clips from different tracks all down to a new track. You could always then drag that clip wherever you want it and delete the new track afterwards. Much more convenient to have this from the right-click menu, along with Consolidate.
