Exporting Split Channel Files

You can bounce stereo files from Logic Pro in interleaved or split stereo formats. Surround files can be bounced as interleaved, or multiple mono files.

Essentially, there are only two parameters of importance for creating split format files in the Bounce window:

File Type pop-up menu: Choose Split.
Surround Bounce checkbox: Select when performing a surround bounce (either interleaved or split).

Full details on all Bounce window options are found in Bouncing Your Project.

Interleaved or Split Bounce File?

In some cases you might need to bounce to a different format than the one you’re working with.

Interleaved bounce: Bounce to Interleaved when you want to use the file in another audio application that supports interleaved files (most audio applications or devices do).
Split channel bounce: Perform a split channel bounce when you want to use the file in Pro Tools software, or another application that only supports the “split stereo” format.
