Pi and Protools Offline Bounce

Pi
1

I’m using Pi in a mix in Protools. If I do an offline bounce, Pi is absent from the resulting stereo file.
If I do a real time bounce, Pie works fine.
Has anyone else had this happen? Is it a known thing?
Thanks.

Hi @renswan,

Thanks for your message!

I tested this with some duplicated polarity-flipped tracks, it seems like when bouncing offline, Pi works but not as well as it does when bouncing in real-time.

I’ve documented this issue and we’ll take a look into it asap.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention,

Oran

Hi Oran,

Bought Pi yesterday & I love it, but when I export/render a project to audio from Ableton Live 11, it seems that the project is incredibly distorted in some way, or at least the tracks that Pi is on.

Bypass those tracks & the distortion goes away in the bounce.

Hi @maxtr0ne,

Thanks for your message. Glad to hear you’re enjoying Pi!

Can you please make sure you’re exporting to the same sample rate as your session?
To find out your session’s sample rate:

Open Ableton’s Preferences.
Select the Audio Tab.
The 2nd section down is called Sample Rate.

Changing the export’s sample rate to the session’s sample rate should solve the issue.

If it doesn’t, please contact us at support@soundradix.com.

Thanks,

Oran

Hi,
I am working on a big Logic project and I have to bounce offline for my computer to manage it. My understanding of how Pi works was that offline bouncing will cancel Pi’s effect because the plugin needs realtime interactions. But then I I found this thread which made me wonder. Would Pi work if I bounced offline in Logic Pro?
Thanks a lot

Hi @antoine.tourasse,

Thanks for your message.

If you need to Offline Bounce individual tracks, Pi indeed will not work.
Each Pi instance needs to recieve information for all the other Pi’s, and most DAWs don’t share this information during export.
You can route each track with Pi to a new audio track and record it in realtime - it works.

If yo need to offline bounce the entire project - this also works.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks,

Oran
