# Bounce & Export

> Export your project or selection to audio files in WAV, AIFF, AAC, or FLAC.

## 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 |

## 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.
