Logic Pro - Can you bounce in place individual summing stack and drum tracks in a DMD Stack

As the title says really.

I guess I can leave the drum tracks as midi for mixing. I’ve always bounced all tracks to audio before starting mixing in the past so just wondering if there’s a way.

As it’s basically a summing stack(?) the pattern regions are all on the stack track.

    As long as there a midi-region (can be empty) on the individual track it can be bounced.

    Thanks @Samu

    So do I need to make an empty region that spans the whole of the track to get it all?

    Normally yes as bounce is region based so it bounces for the length of the selected region/regions.

    If You're using pattern regions for the drums you can do a 'Convert -> Separate by Kit Piece' (copy the pattern regions first as there's no way from what I know to 'merge them back' into a pattern region) to get regions for those drum-sounds in a kit that are being used. You can then bounce them as regular regions.

    Unfortunately that doesn't work for Drum Machine Designer :(
    The 'empty region hack-around' works when using Multi-Out AUv3's when there's a need to bounce out the individual tracks.

    So for Drum Machine Designer you have to do a 'Convert -> Separate by Kit Piece' on the regions first and then bounce the resulting regions to audio, thankfully LogicPro for iPad 2.1 makes it easier to bounce out the individual tracks and regions as separate files.

    Tysm @Samu

    I’m out tonight but will have a play with this tomorrow. I actually have a non drum summing stack to try this with.

    In that case copy the midi that you use to drive the tracks with to each of the tracks and bounce :)

    That’s my fallback plan. It’s a little complicated though because I have an automated arpeggiator on the summing track as well as the midi, so will need to copy both the arp and the automation to each track. Not the end of the world, was just looking for an easier option 🙃

    Fallback would be to bounce multiple times, muting the tracks you don't need for each pass :)

    I actually went with your previous suggestion. I ended up routing the midi to a new track and recording it there, baking in the arp automation. Then I copied that midi to each track in the stack and bounced them separately 😮‍💨

    Dunno why I always make it so hard for myself. Thanks for your help @Samu 👍

    I’ve changed the title as I think this thread might be useful to someone someday
