pretty much when your working on a track is it better to bounce all the main parts to audio then bring it back to your daw?
what are some of the benefits..as far as i know ..better on the cpu..better to master it etc... |

| I personally only bounce down High CPU FX or steady sounds ,purely because I need the automation.And may change the track later. |

i do it, it takes a lot of extra time to do it but i do it because my music is heavily syncopated and because of that there are unwanted tails from delays, verbs, release times etc that i might not catch while working. i also do it because it helps me see problem areas that i don't always catch (especially at the height of build ups)
oh and i use to do it because i had a protool rig and ableton's mix engine use to suck balls so i would arrange in ableton and stem mix in PT. those days are gone though |

| yeah i often bounce to audio when the tune is made and mixed i then save all my parts to disk and from their arrange and master. |

| because you can only have so many supersaws running at once on the Ti :D |

| Being able to see waveforms can be a big plus. |

| Another advantage is that you can take the "randomness" out of a particular part by doing this, which can be a plus in certain situations. Most so called "fat" sounds achieve this by having some type of randomness to them, whether it be oscillator waveform cycles or random modulations. While the advantage to this is that you get a "warmer", "fatter" or "more analog" sound, the disadvantage is that you never actually get the same sound twice, which can be frustrating in certain situations. By bouncing down to audio, you can record a part 3 or 4 times and pick out the best one or even comp together one that works and, ultimately, sounds the same every time. |

| Biggest advantage in the days of seemingly infinate CPU power and tweaking capability is that it forces you to mixdown and finish a track ;) |

AS per Owien's and Eric's advice - it's best to mix down to audio where possible, and if you can be bothred to a real time print, not an offlibe bounce. There are a few reasons that have been stated in this thread:

Basically mixing with audio yield slightly better results sonically and I prefer to work with all audio once the midi is nailed down. |

| I notice a change in sound quality, everything sounds more analogue when bounced to audio. The reason is pretty much not over use of cpu thus making everything sounding more warm. You should try this ;) |

If I had to give one big advantage, that's what I tell my students:
leaving an instance of a VSTi is like having the real musician play that same part over and over again and at times he might get tired.
hehehe
seriously, that is what the studio geeks used to do 30 years ago on tape.
What I usually do is keep the instance with the VSTi, but disable it after bouncing with the midi on there. Then hide the disabled track. |
