Just curious what other folks are doing with arrangements that use many or all software instruments:
1. Do you export with each track at the volume level in the mix?
2. Or do you put the volume fader at 0.0 to get the maximum signal.
The first option would make it easy to export (convert) software instruments to audio; then import those audio tracks into a new project with the mix levels already set.
The second option would be better for archiving the project.
I'm asking this question because I got out of the habit of bouncing software instrument tracks to audio, probably due to laziness.
