How Does Universal Audio's Bounce in Place Actually Work?

UAD LUNA 1.8 - Bounce in Place has arrived! 👏 One of the most requested features in is here, offering a practical and efficient way to streamline your workflow and optimise your sessions.

In this video, I’ll guide you through everything you need to know about Bounce in Place, including:

➡️ How to bounce entire tracks or specific ranges with ease
➡️ Exploring Bounce Settings: archive, delete, or duplicate options
➡️ Using Consolidate Mode to create clean, single audio files
➡️ Bouncing directly from buses for mix prints and revisions
➡️ Pairing Bounce in Place with bookmarks to save and restore session stages
➡️ Bouncing up to an Insert for added flexibility

This new feature is thoughtfully designed to help your sessions run more efficiently while maintaining complete creative control. I’ll also share tips on how I use it with SD3 Multi-Outs to simplify complex workflows.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below, and don’t forget to explore my Everything Universal Audio & LUNA playlist for more insights and tutorials!

Take care, and I’ll see you in the next video!

Cheers,

Matt

Amazing. Luna is so intuitive and you did the best Job at showing how to reduce the tracks down to cut clutter for coming down to a two track.

[RecordingStudio]

What we need next is a proper track comping like most of the other DAWs' that are capable of. Already has version layers, just needs a better "select from layer" feature.
Add ARA2 capability, then I call it a competing DAW and spend some money on the plugins.
Having said that, the last two projects I've recorded were done on LUNA, and I'm truly enjoying its workflow. Thanks UAD.

Luna is great, they've come a long way. I'd love to use it more but I produce in Ableton live and can't be bothered to export all audio tracks and busses as I start mixing pretty early in my sessions. Ableton doesn't support AAF as far as I know.

Ahh....this feature came out on Dec 11. Over a month ago. Most, if not all people already got a notice in Luna about this.
PLus many vidoes have already been made on how to use it. A little late to the game.

You showed a wrong key command at 1:06 instead of cmd+B you showed alt+B but you say it correctly.

[LuizCarlosJesusdosSantos]

Just better routing and editing options and it will become perfect, except for the fact that it can only be used with the internet! 😵‍💫

Are you reading a script? You sound like a commercial.. Not bad but different for a YT video that isn't a course etc..
