If I am understanding your question right, whatever comes out of the master fader will be bounced to files, either stereo interleaved or multimono. You have the option to bounce different things, but I think you are simply worried about destroying your source. You also have Audio Suite plugins (non-real time) that can be written to tracks. Unless you have 'destructive record' specifically selected, PTLE will write the processed data to a new file. Maybe a little more about what you are trying to do will help. in general, you would set everything up with source material, bussed aux tracks with 'treatment', etc, all to a master fader. Once you like what you have, bounce to disk. Often, from here people will bring the bounced file into a mastering session to maximize and finalize the works with some volume automation, a touch of EQ, compression, and limiting to taste. Then bouce to disk at the format you need to use, I.E. 44.1/16 for CDs.

Hello Sacred Spirit, actually I suppose I was quite verbose in my explanation and what I really need to do is "export selected files as multiple mono" so that I may bring my .wav files over to another studio and I find that my plug-in effects do not 'process' when I export the tracks, whether they are bussed of used as an insert... I have processed tracks 'destructively, with the Audio Suite plug-ins but sometimes they clip the signal... I really do not want to have to bounce 20-30 times individually to get the effect on each separate track if I do not have to, I am looking for a way to get the plug-in effects to process in one shot if that is a possibility.

Dear rockwithrespect, "Oh Boy" do I have problems now ... As soon as the send is inserted on the Aux track where the plugins are, Pro Tools crashes and now I can not open the session. The session now "unexpectedly quits" everytime I try and open it up. OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO! Now what? Dan
