Or even drag and drop to a folder in the browser would be cool.

It's funny how an application could have som many positives about it, but the one or 2 negatives you find could make working a pita.
For each audio track you want to 'bounce', make a new audio track in session or arrange view. Set the input of each new audio track to receive the output of one of the original audio tracks. (ie - if I have 12 audio tracks that I want to bring into another app to mix, I'll create 12 additional audio tracks routed to receive the output of the original 12)... Go into Arrangement view, go to the beginning of the song, record arm all the new audio tracks. Hit record, and all 12 tracks will be recorded in one pass. Take the audio files recorded from those 12 new tracks (they all start from the beginning of the song) and import those files into your mixing DAW.

There are programs out there that do macros, i know some guys whipped up one for Cubase, maybe I'll look into doing a Live one...
can't put one on the sends as well?

I guess the best way to bounce individual tracks is like kenn michael explained.
That doesn't mean it can't be done better...
Live 6 needs a 'bounce all tracks individually'-function. Really!

I hate to waste an evening just bouncing tracks...
Shit happens...

Got a question and I'm sitting infront of my computer at work rather than my home (audio) computer.

I noticed that when you freeze a track you get an audio file (wav I think) in the sounds folder for that song for that frozen track. I was wondering if this would be useful for what you are looking for. I was gonna check it out myself last night but got to doing something else and never did check it out. If you froze a track in arrange you get a audio file of that entire track. Could you use that in a seperate DAW like protools? Someone test it out. It would be cool if you could freeze all tracks rather than clicking each individually.
