    File > Bounce to.

    This will bring up a dialog box asking you about file format, sample rate, and bit depth. By default, Pro Tools will bounce to .wav, and .aiff. (mp3’s are only available with an upgrade to the Music Production Toolkit 2, DV Toolkit, or Complete Production Toolkit). The lower the sample rate, the smaller the file size at the cost of high end frequency. The smaller the bit depth the smaller the sample rate at the cost of quantization or amplitude. One minute of stereo audio at 44.1, 16-bits (CD quality) will be approximately 10MB of data which is useful to know in case the file can only be a certain size.

    Another thing to note: bounce the file as a stereo interleaved file. This will create just one stereo file instead of a separate file for each channel. Also, if you need to go below 44.1/16, take off of the sample rate as decreases in bit-depth cause a far greater loss of quality than decreases of sample rate. KDecka
