Both are equally effective and take about the same amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming you already have BFD loaded as an instrument insert on an Aux track:<\/p>\n<p>Method #1<br \/>A. Change the OUTPUT of the Aux track from you main outs (normally &#8220;Analog 1-2) to &#8220;Bus 1-2&#8221; (or any available bus pair).<br \/>B. Create one new stereo audio track.   Make the INPUT of this new track &#8220;Bus 1-2&#8221; (or match it to the bus output of the Aux track).<br \/>C. Click the Record button on the audio track and engage record on the ProTools transport.<br \/>&#8211;   By using this &#8220;bus&#8221; method, you&#8217;re patching BFD into to an audio track to record.<\/p>\n<p>Method #2<br \/>A. Mute all tracks except the Aux track on which BFD (or other instrument) is inserted, AND the MIDI track(s) triggering BFD.<br \/>B. Select the length of the track (on the track or the timeline) and choose &#8220;Bounce to Disk&#8221; from the File menu.<br \/>C. In the Bounce to Disk window, make sure the &#8220;File Type&#8221; is set to Multiple Mono and all other settings match your Session Settings.  MOST IMPORTANT, check the box next to &#8220;Import After Bounce.&#8221;  Proceed with the bounce process.<br \/>D. When Bounce is complete, create a new Stereo Audio track.  <br \/>E. From the Audio Regions List drag the newly bounced file to the new track.  <br \/>   *Tip, if your bounce selection started at &#8220;zero&#8221; drop the new file into the track using &#8220;SHUFFLE&#8221; mode.  If not, drop the file   into the track using &#8220;SPOT&#8221; mode and choose &#8220;use original time stamp&#8221; in the Spot dialog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[35615,34125],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33300,33377],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How do I record BFD to an audio track in Pro Tools? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/record-bfd-audio-track-pro-tools\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I record BFD to an audio track in Pro Tools? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"There are two methods for creating an audio track from BFD or any instrument track.
