In Bounce to Disk, which setting determines offline vs real-time rendering?

• A. Destination file name/location.
• B. File type (WAV/AIFF) and sample rate.
• C. Dither and normalization.
• D. Offline/Real-Time.

Answer: (D)

The setting that determines offline versus real-time rendering is the Offline/Real-Time option in Bounce to Disk. Choosing Offline makes Pro Tools render as fast as possible, bypassing real-time playback, which speeds up the bounce and can reduce CPU strain. Choosing Real-Time renders by actually playing back at real-time speed, ensuring every plug-in, automation, and time-based processing behaves exactly as it would during normal playback. The other options control file properties (destination location, file type, sample rate) or processing steps (dither and normalization) and don’t switch between offline and real-time rendering.
