I think what I am asking is as basic as it comes but it is driving me mad. I have a subscription and I think the answer is in Logic 101 but I dont have time to sort through and find it. Q If I have a whole song but only want to turn one midi region into an audio file then how do I do it? Again I appreciate how simple this is. thank you for your help Rookie

Hi Rookie, Simply select the region. solo the MIDI region or the track itself. Set the locators (use the button in the Toolbar). Choose File > Bounce... or if you are using Logic 9. You can use the Bounce In Place feature: Right-click on the region. Choose: Bounce & Merge > Bounce In place Now a new audio file and region will be created in the Arrange area. It will also be in the audio bin if you need it. Cheers Rounik
