ProTools - finish the song

Bystanding Innocence

Dear fellow gearheads

Just a technical question I hope someone could help me with.

I have just bought the mbox 2 and have recorded two tracks in the same session. What is the easiest way to get this idea to an mp3 or wav file? I try to do it via bounce to disk but the outcome is a huge file which contain no audio.

I am not the technician so please help me out

you need an extra plug-in to do that.

You need to do the following things:

1. Create a master stereo fader
2. Highlight the timeline for which you want to bounce
3. Choose the proper file settings (stereo interleaved, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz wav) when you bounce

If you've done all of those things, then I'm not sure where you're going wrong.

I don't know why bouncing to disk didn't work. That's all I do.

You select bounce to disc, convert during the bounce, and then save it into a folder... then it bounces it down as a wav to that folder, and you can convert it to an mp3 in iTunes later.

edit: unless mbox is different than the 002 in that retrospect.

ha. i never thought of converting the wav in itunes. doh. oh well. it was $20 4 years ago for me. and i use it heavily.

It's weird, but I really don't know of a better mp3 conversion than iTunes. I think it does a wonderful job.
