Student Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hello, I'm processing a vocal with Melodyne, and would like to bounce it down and replace the non-melodyned audio region in my project so its still part of the vocal track. I looked up how to use bounce in place, as this seems perfect for my needs, but for some reason the "selected track" option is greyed out? Is it not possible to bounce down a region with the goal of replacing itself? Do I always have to create a new track and drag it up back into the track & delete the newly created track?

jtees Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It appears the region is muted, simply select the greyed out region and press "m" on your keyboard For future reference, there are three check point options under the source section of the bounce in place process, "leave" "mute and "delete" select the "leave" checkbox to insure your region does not mute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always seems to be grayed out. The manual says you should be able to choose between two options, but in the screencap shows only one is available and it doesn't tell you why. Puzzling.

claesbjo Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 You need to marquee-select an area that includes the regions..then it works. For some reason it doesn´t seem to work if the marquee selection is the same length as the the regions(?). So you need to make the marquee selection longer or shorter than the regions you wanna bounce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Wow Claesbjo!! Thanks for this vital information! I would have never figured that out on my own. This has to be a bug, right? I went ahead and submitted it to apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtees Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Sorry I completely misread your first post, I thought you wanted to layer the processed vocal with the unprocessed one. After rereading your first post again I don't know how I came of that conception, I obviously shouldn't have a few drinks whilst reading this forum haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason it doesn´t seem to work if the marquee selection is the same length as the the regions(?). Hmmm... it works independently of the marquee selection here: However the destination can only be an audio track. If a software instrument or external MIDI track is selected, then the "Selected Track" destination is not available - for obvious reasons.

Twister Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Only the marquee tool trick works for me. I noticed that it doesn't matter if the end of the selection matches the region but only the beginning has to be slightly off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that it doesn't matter if the end of the selection matches the region but only the beginning has to be slightly off. So odd! I checked again in Logic Pro 9.0.2 and in Logic Pro 9.1.7 and I can always choose "Selected track" (as long as an audio track is selected), independently of whether or not I have a marquee selection, or where that marquee selection starts or ends. Here I just Option-clicked a region, making the marquee selection start/end the same as the region start/end. No plug-ins anywhere in the mixer.

David Nahmani Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 .....and upon further testing, I managed to make "Selected track" grayed out and unavailable! So far there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Using the same techniques (manually drag the marquee tool OR option-click a region with it then Shift-marquee drag the edges of the Marquee selection to adjust its start and end), sometimes I can make it work, sometimes I can make it not work.

JT3_Jon Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Glad I found this thread, as I've been struggling with the exact same problem. But I have a new added twist. So I get the same greyed out "selected track" option if I select the regions using either the arrow tool, or the marquee tool using option, but if I drag the marquee selected a little in front of the region I can now bounce on selected track (thanks claesbjo!!) So I set the destination as selected track, and set the source to delete (as I want to replace the source with this new bounce) but instead of deleting the source, I now have the source + the newly bounced region on top!! Something is very wrong in Logic when it comes to bouncing regions in place it seems. Anyone else replicate this twist? I'm attempting to bounce down multiple regions as one audio track, and replacing those original regions with this bounce just like it says I can in the manual. But so far its been met with nothing but bugs and work arounds. p.s. I too submitted a bug report to logic feedback on this not working correctly.

jimmynitcher Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 June '14 and this bug still exists - pathetic really. I'll add it to the list of weird inconsistent behaviour that exists in this program now. Honestly guys Logic is the new Cubase, I have to teach this but do yourselves a favour and at least try Ableton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beatsmith Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm getting this in Logic 10.2 on OS X 10.10.5 in Sept/Oct 2015... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Still a bug?!! I've just come to accept that this option is not available when using Bounce in Place. I bounce to a new track, then move the 'bip' region back to the original track and delete the new track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsbaker Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Thanks, all. This is a really old bug (i.e., bounce in place selected region, and replace original file with bounced file). I call it a bug because its described as a working feature in the info in Apple's documentation. I've been using your workaround, David. I'll try your marquee solution, Eric' — it might be quicker for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 See if you find this thread helpful: extending audio regions for sync sake [sOLVED] Awesome. So much better than my workaround. Love it. Thanks! I've been using your workaround, David. I'll try your marquee solution, Eric' — it might be quicker for me. Yes, I believe Eric's workaround is faster than mine!

Artlowell Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 My bounce-in-place simply doesn't work since the latest upgrade. The playhead simply goes to the beginning position of the region I want to bounce and stays there, like it's stuck. I can still bounce that region (if I solo it and bounce the whole project, then import the bounce as an audio file), but Logic is locked up until I force quit it.

Try it in a new, empty project: drag an audio (blue) apple loop from the loop browser onto an audio track. Try bouncing that in place?
