Print Parameters (Pro Tools)

Accessing print settings

• Once you’ve set up your custom prints, click on “Print Selected” in Forte Export.

• You’ll be taken to the print settings panel, where you can configure all export parameters before starting the bounce.

Choosing the base name and mix source

• Set the base name for your exported files to keep them organized.

• Select the mix source, which determines what you’re exporting:
  • Options include Mix Print, Master Print, Output, or a custom source.
  • For example, you can choose “Mix Print” to export your main mix, or another source for stems or alternate versions.

Selecting file type and bounce method

• Choose the audio file format: WAV, AIFF, or others as available.

• Decide on the bounce method:
  • Online (real-time bounce through your hardware chain)
  • Offline (faster, non-real-time bounce)
  • Automatic, where Forte manages the method for you depending on your setup.

Setting audio parameters

• Select the desired bit depth (16, 24, or 32 bit).

• Choose the sample rate that matches your project or delivery requirements.

Choosing export location

• Decide where your bounced files will be saved.

• Click to select your preferred destination folder (for example, “Bounced Files” or any custom location).

Starting the print

• After all parameters are set, simply click “Print.”

• Forte will export your selected prints with the chosen settings, saving them in your specified location.
