When using Busses with Bounce to Disk, how many busses can you bounce at once?

When using Busses with Bounce to Disk, how many busses can you bounce at once?

• A. Up to 16 busses
• B. Up to 8 busses
• C. Up to 32 busses
• D. Up to 4 busses

Answer: (A)

When you bounce to disk using busses, Pro Tools prints the signals from the selected bus outputs in a single pass. The software allocates a fixed number of bus destinations for one bounce, and that limit is sixteen. So you can include up to sixteen separate bus signals in one bounce. If you need more than that, you’d print in additional passes or create submix busses first. This limit is a design/engine constraint specific to the bounce process, not something tied to sample rate or bit depth.
