Bounce Factory Failing on "bounce to disk" screen
Just getting started using bounce factory and soundflow. I had success last night in bouncing stems of a project, which is my main goal. I am doing it on a new song today, using the solo track pass function, and everytime it gets to the bounce to disk screen it fails. not sure what i'm doing wrong, but i can't get it to work at all at this point. thanks! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/jxi98nmoar3crboyhldh0/AFoj4mVVuRiHh9yVtSWrpkM?rlkey=2c267bki8coe6ex5cvycnln9u&dl=0

The best and fastest way to get help with any Bounce Factory problem is to send the User Files and (if applicable) a screen recording of Bounce Factory failing. The easiest way to do this is to use the "Report a Problem" button in the app:
1. Go to the Bounce Factory settings using the cog in the bottom-right of the app:
2. Click the red "Report A Problem…" button at the bottom of the Settings screen
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Thanks!

Thanks for getting touch and sending the files. It's having trouble setting the bounce source. Is it possible anything has changed with either the hardware or playback engine between when you took the Snapshot and tried bouncing?
I've made Bounce Factory more forgiving in that scenario but I'm not quite ready to put that fix out into the world, it still needs more testing.
Thanks,

yes, i have been switching my IO setup around. Going between working in atmos, with headphones on, and back to stereo land, exporting stems of these sessions. It was odd too in that it defaulted to ATMOS outs, even though I had changed my IO setup back to stereo, so i manually made the bounce source OUT 1-2. Is there a certain thing I should do to reset it? or just close out programs, reopen, and get a new snapshot?
Andrew Scheps @Andrew_SchepsAs long as the I/O setup goes back to how it was when you made the Snapshot (including the name of the output it is routed to) before you bounce it should work.
In this case it's looking for the output that when you pop up the Source Menu, in the Ouput submenu it needs to see
Out 1-2 (Stereo) -> Main"In the improved version it will see that it's set toOut 1-2 (Stereo) "and not worry about the-> Main"part.The next version will make your life much easier! Sorry you have to wait and I'll try and get it out as soon as I can.

Hi @jay_alton ,
The fix for the Bounce Source issue will be coming out in 1.7.4, hopefully later today!

i'm placing a few new screenshots into my same link, i closed and reopened the session and bounce factory, and as you can see in the screen shot, it keeps defaulting to MAIN (7.1.4) for mix source, however, i dont have anything set to that in my session, since my IO setup is set to stereo.
- Andrew Scheps @Andrew_Scheps
It will default to whatever the Bounce dialog in Pro Tools was set to the first time you took a Snapshot for that session. If you want to load settings from the last Snapshot you took then you can hit the "L" button at the top of the Snapshot window.
You can also force BF to rescan the current session settings as a starting place by holding down the option key when clicking Take Snap[shot (keep it held down until BF starts doing things).
I could do a quick zoom if you want me to go through a few things with you.

that "option" click helped reset the output settings to the proper outs, which seemed to be the problem, I think the "main" part was the issue. Seems like it's working now. I'm gonna try to keep doing my homework and learning on my own, and i'll check back in if i'm still having issues. Appreciate the offer for a quick zoom! thanks for the quick help on this!

Cool. With the update the Main thing won't matter.
If you have any more questions just start a new thread in the forum. It's pretty deep and there's a lot to take in.

Just one more heads up. Where you have the BF window it will be covering up the Clip list which BF will need for some stuff.
