Hi Chris, Select the instrument track with Ivory on it and either choose Commit from the Tracks menu or simply press Option-Shift-c. You'll be presented with a dialog. Everything in there is pretty self-explanatory. Once you've "committed" an instrument track, the resulting track is an audio version of the MIDI performance. It's just like bouncing but, in one step, all of the routing is done for you and you don't have to create a new track and import audio to it. It's a simple way of converting the MIDI information to audio in one step and, in the process, you can hide and make the instrument track inactive, thus freeing up CPU resources. Bouncing the session at that point will be much faster as the CPU doesn't have to calculate the performance of the instrument track in the process of offline bouncing.
