There’s a lot of sense in keeping your software instruments as MIDI for as long as possible, so you can tweak sounds further down the line. But what if you want to create an effect that can only be achieved with audio, for example, reversing or time-stretching? Well, then you’d have to bounce your MIDI to audio in place. What if you’re happy with a virtual instrument part and you want to commit to the sound and free up system resources? You guessed it: Bounce In Place.
