Hi, folks. Just got on here. Did I understand you to say, Phil, that you don't have to bounce individual synth and their associated audio tracks before exporting? Is there a reason why it is best to do so or not to do so? I can see that bouncing tracks before exporting will add more tracks, but I always have archived the synth/audio tracks after bouncing. If Sonar automatically does this during exporting, then I've learned something else new that will save me a lot of time. Thanks!
