Bounce & Export - Gridshift

Bounce & Export renders your full project or a selection of clips to audio files in WAV, AIFF, AAC, FLAC, or MP3.

Bounce to disk

Press ⇧⌘B to open the bounce dialog. Choose a format and Gridshift renders the full project to an audio file.

Format	File type	Description
WAV	.wav	Uncompressed PCM — industry standard for production
AIFF	.aiff	Uncompressed PCM — Apple’s equivalent of WAV
AAC	.m4a	Compressed — smaller files, good for previews and sharing
FLAC	.flac	Lossless compression — smaller than WAV with no quality loss
MP3	.mp3	Compressed — 320 kbps CBR (LAME), universally compatible

Bounce selection

Press ⌘B to bounce selected clips with their track effects to a new sample track. This renders the selected audio clips through the full effect chain of their source tracks and places the result on a new track directly below. Useful for:

Committing effect processing to audio (“freezing” a track)
Creating processed stems for export
Reducing CPU load by replacing live effects with rendered audio

The new track inherits the source track’s group membership and is positioned after the last source track.
