Hello all. I am curious as how to print a stereo mix inside of pro tools. I've done it numerous of time with a patchbaybut I'm trying it on my home rig for the first time. I have a 002 with 6.9.2. I'm almost positive I must do something with my I/O setups, but maybe not. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi. For each track that is already set to an audio output (such as 1-2 on your 002) change the output to a bus (like bus 1-2 or whatever is not being used for fx, etc.)). Then create a new audio track and set its input to that bus (bus 1-2). Then record enable the track and press record. The track will record everything routed to its input bus.

The bounce to disk will also do what you need and does not take up any tracks. Select the start and stop times with selector, select bounce to disk, set your output type and your done.
If you have enuf tracks left you can bus all the tracks to a stereo record track as said, and it shouldn't feed back if it is setup right, i.e. all tracks or aux mstrs bused to the record track which is then outputting to your I/O.
A typical mix set up for me is to have aux mstrs setup for the drums, gtrs, vox and bass set up which then route to a master or aux master fader on my output track. I typically use the bounce to disk as I rarely have tracks leftover, although it can be handy if you want to punch in to your master track.

i always bounce to disk, my mixes never sound thin, but maybe i'm just compensating for it cause i know what it will end up sounding like.

perhaps people are blaming poor tracking/mixing on bounce to disk? i'm gonna do a test and try the spdif loopback bounce and a bounce to disk and upload it and see if anyone can really tell a difference.
