Bounce in place no "As additional tracks" option for Multi Output

Hey everyone,

Working on LPX 10.4 in OSX 10.13.6 and after creating and recording to a multi output instrument, I wanted to export each output to an individual audio file. When I selected the region and opened "bounce in place" I had the option for "include instrument multi outputs" but there isn't a checkbox for "as additional tracks"

I have tried opening Bounce in Place with both Logics Drum Machine Designer and NI's Battery 4. Any idea how I could enable this option?

Thanks

Logic Pro X, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

Could you make a screenshot of the regions you're trying to bounce in place?

Say, you have set up a multi-output instrument with different instrument parts going to separate channels in the mixer. However, if the overall performance sits on one MIDI region, LPX will offer to bounce it as one audio file. To bounce to separate audio files, I suppose, you'll have to split the region by note pitch or event channel first, then bounce the resulting regions in place (this is where the checkbox "as additional files" will probably show up).

Alright, so it's actually not the region split that needs to be done for this technique to work, but creating a summing track stack. The MIDI region could stay on the main software instrument track in the stack, where the individual parts are going to separate Aux channels.

To create a stack, select all the channels in the Mixer or in Tracks area and right-click on one of them > Create Track Stack. Make sure you're creating a summing stack. After that, make sure the stack works as intended, with multiple outputs for different parts going to individual channels. Bounce in place should include "As additional tracks" option.

I actually found yesterday the reason the option wasn't showing up was because i was trying to bounce region in place, not track.

However I'm still having an issue with boucing out the seperate aux channels as seperate tracks. I created a drum kit track and used the plus sign in the mixer to create seperate aux channels for the kick, snare, toms, and high hats, with the cymbal audio coming through on the original midi track. I used the create track command in the mixer to create seperate tracks for each aux channel. I then made blank midi regions for ever aux track in the Arrange view.

Next i used Bounce track in place and the correct dialog box shows up. I check both the include multi and as additional tracks checkboxes.

However, after it bounces the only track that is created is one for the original midi track, which was only passing the cymbal audio.

I've seen videos and tutorials where it creates a seperate track for each aux (Logic Pro X Tip: Bounce & Export Drummer Track To Multi Audio Files - YouTube) so I'm wondering what I'm not doing correctly. Here is a screenshot of the track inspector for the drum kit

dgamlam, sad to report, but seems to have hit the wall too. Same results as yours while trying to bounce in place a folder stack.

Not sure what exactly is happening, but Logic's Drummer multi-out Library presets are bouncing fine. And Drummer presets are summing stacks. I guess it might indeed be a bug, unless there's something we've missed.

As I mentioned above, perhaps what you have to do is split the region by note pitch. Then bounce the resulting tracks in place.

Thanks for helping Jota,

Unfortunately the track stack didn't work either. i included a view of my mixer routing in case I'm not routing the aux channels correctly.

Weirdly enough, I tried this with a folder stack and got both the cymbals and kick to bounce to audio. Unfortunately when I tried it again, the kick didn't print. Is there any possibility this might be a bug in LPX 10.4?
