Sonar 2025.09 Bounce Tracks

[Dibubba]

Hi All - 

I'm encountering a "problem" with "Bounce to Tracks", which I've never used before. Here's what's happening - a simple scenario:

1.  I have two tracks in Sonar (with Track EFX and clip Gain Automation)

2.  I want to merge them in Sonar, to a new Track.

3. I create the New Track.

3.  I select the Source Tracks

4.  I select the "Bounce to Track", and verify / validate all the Options in the pop-up window, (pre-flight Checklist!), then select "OK"

5.  The system gronks for a few seconds, and then spits out the resulting Track. 

But that Track only has ONE of the source Tracks, not both!

I've run through this about a dozen times (the definition of Insanity!), trying different options (Real Time, Audible Bounce, etc.), and get the same result.

Is This a System Flaw, or am I doing something wrong? 

 

Thanks for any Opinions or Assistance!

Bouncing with Source = Tracks generates a separate bounce for each selected track. In that scenario you will get the first track bounced to the track you created (and presumably selected as the Destination), and the second track bounced either to the next existing audio track below that one or to a new track created by Sonar.

In order to merge two or more tracks you need to bounce with Source = Buses and select a bus that they're both/all outputting through.
