Bouncing Surround Audio Files

Bouncing a surround mix can create more audio files than your usual stereo bounce. Each file is identified by a unique extension.

Note: Use the Bounce Extensions preference tab to define filename extensions that will be added to the files resulting from a surround bounce. For further details, see Setting the Surround Preferences.
