it's audio we try to cover it in today's video we're doing a tracktion t7 tutorial
showing you how to bounce tracks and how to render audio if you're new to
tracktion t7 I put a link to tracktion's website in the description below so you
can head over and grab a free copy of t7 for yourself I've also included a link
to our tracktion t7 tutorial playlist in case you want to check out more videos
like this one but now let's get started first off we're going to start with a
piece of audio that we recorded now let's say we just want to slice this up
a bit for editing purposes so let's create some slices and rearrange the
audio a bit
okay now we have everything edited and lined up the way we want it and maybe
this is a section you want to reuse later on in your project and it would be
kind of annoying to have to copy and paste all of these little clips and make
sure you get them right later on in the project it would be much easier to just
have one file so what we want to do is bounce the audio to another track to do
this let's go to an open track right click over here and go down to audio
tracks then select the track name or the track number that you would like to
bounce into this track now we want to arm this track for recording by clicking
the red button here and we want to click where we want the cursor to start
playing from when you're ready to go you can hit the record button below
then once you've bounced the section that you want you can stop the recording
and you now have a single bounced track that you can easily move around your
timeline tracktion also gives us another easy way to do this with their built-in
render option first let's mark the region that we want
to render to a new track by dragging these blue markers over to the start and
to the finish then we click over here on the track so it's not clicked on just a
clip within the track go down to the bottom and click render you now have
some options here you can choose if you want it to be in stereo or mono you can
also change the sample rate and size typically I choose whatever the original
file is you also want to make sure that you have only render marked region
selected so it just renders everything between your markers if you have any
plugins on the track and you'd like to render the audio the way it sounds
through the plugins then select this option here but if you plan on just
dragging this clip back up into that track then you shouldn't render it with
the plugins as you're going to double up on them when you bring it back into the
track you can also see up here where it's going to save this new rendered
track on your hard drive you can change that location if you like or just leave
it as it is and it's going to go right into your project folder once you're
ready click render and your new clip will be rendered to a new track you can
now drag this clip around the timeline as you need let me know in the comments
below if you have any questions about this or any other questions about
tracktion t-7 that's pretty much it for bouncing and rendering audio tracks
