Bounce with shortcuts (Pro Tools)

Learn how to quickly create custom prints (grouped track exports) in Forte Export using shortcuts.

Bounce with shortcuts (Pro Tools)

Selecting tracks in your DAW

  • Open your Pro Tools session and locate the tracks you want to group into a custom print.
  • For example, select four tracks you want to print together.

Creating a custom print with a shortcut

  • With your desired tracks selected, press Command + Option + C on your keyboard.
  • This shortcut instantly groups the selected tracks and creates a custom print in Forte Export.

Creating additional prints

  • To create another print (for example, for percussion tracks), select the relevant tracks.
  • Use a different shortcut, such as Command + Option + B, to group these tracks into a new print that prints them individually and sequentially.
  • Each print is created immediately and appears in your Forte Export print list.

Immediate feedback

  • After using the shortcuts, you’ll see both custom prints listed in Forte Export, ready for export.
  • This method allows you to create multiple custom prints in seconds, without navigating menus.
