Q: Bouncing individual tracks creates 2 wav files for each..why?!!

When I bounce individually selected tracks from Logic Express, it creates a double wav file in my folder for each track I bounce. It didn't use to do that and I haven't changed any settings... Please HELP :/

    By "double wav" do you mean that you are getting a separate audio file for left channel and another for right channel, something like this?

    Be sure to check in your bounce window that you have "interleaved" checked instead of "split."

    Depending on how you're exporting/bouncing your tracks this may not help, but you can always solo the desired track and bounce your song with "interleaved" selected to get a single stereo file of that individual track.

    By the way, you can also convert your split files if necessary by selecting them in your Audio Bin, choosing "Audio File > Copy/Convert File" from the menu, and select "Split to Interleaved" in the Stereo Conversion dropdown.

    it doesn't look like they are split files, just two exactly the same. So -each time I bounce one selected track, and I go to find it in my files to throw it the dropbox to my producer -there is two of each. This is most of the times. yesterday I discovered that some bounce as one (which it should be, and how it used to be). I haven't changed the setting, it's still:

     

    Destination: PCM

     

    Format: Wave

    resulution: 24 Bit

    Sample rate: 44100

    file type: Interleaved

    Dithering: None

    I just need one of each bounced-or I'll get alot of space taken up on my computer real fast with ALL the crazy many tracks it takes for a full album of songs!!

    I honestly don't know what could cause your bounces to be duplicated like that.
