Reads your open Logic project, groups tracks the way you mix, and bounces every stem. Sends and sidechains included.
No templates, no setup, no tidy. macOS 14+ on Apple silicon.
No templates. No naming conventions. No routing prep. No minimum track count, and no "you need at least one aux channel" rule either. Whatever your session looks like is fine. bounceBuddy works directly from Logic's project data, not flakey screen-walking, so it adapts to every session automatically: summing stacks, folders, bus groups, Logic groups, multi-out instruments, Drum Machine Designer kits, stereo pairs. Already colour-code your tracks? Your colour scheme becomes your stem list.
Full mix, Instrumental, TV mix, a capella. Every version keeps its own stem selection, FX choices and bounce range: whole project, cycle, any section or any individual marker, with different markers per version. Arm them all and they bounce in sequence.
Reverbs, delays and parallel buses are detected automatically. They print into the stems that use them, or mute for dry passes. Mix level, dry, or wet + dry pairs.
Pumping compressors and multiband duckers like Trackspacer and Soothe keep working during isolated bounces. Every track keeps its own feeder, not one kick for the whole mix, feeding the detector without printing into your stem.
The full output chain, visualised, with per-insert bypass. Print without the limiter, keep the glue compressor. Everything is restored after the bounce.
Buses feeding buses feeding stacks. Grouping resolves to the level you choose. The nesting slider dials density live, from a handful of stems to fully flat.
Automatic. Offline for speedy in-the-box bounces, online in real time so a hybrid rig's hardware inserts and analog chains print into every stem. No re-patching.
Muted, disabled, hidden, empty and no-output tracks exclude themselves. Solos cleared, click silenced. Every run, automatically.
Bounced stems and versions render right in the app. Waveforms in every row, zoom, solo or mute any stem, or hear them all as a mix, without touching Logic. Then they're summed and phase-cancelled against your full mix: silence is the receipt. Every stem reports its length, size, peak and RMS. Proof, not hope.
Every bounce is saved as a snapshot. Flip between Live and Bounced, replay any pass, jump straight to its files. Changed a track since your last scan? Hit Rescan. Nothing to rebuild, no quitting Logic.

I'm Michael Edwards, a working composer and producer: film, TV, advertising, records. Close to 20 years in Logic, and the same job at the end of every mix: the client asks for stems, and two hours disappear into cleaning the session, grouping, soloing, muting limiters, dodging sidechains and hidden tracks, then starting again after one mistake. So I built the thing I wanted.
Film, TV, advertising, games. The client asks for stems and the deadline was yesterday. Scan, check the grouping, bounce, deliver.
Instrumentals, TV mixes, a capellas, stems for mastering. Versions with their own selections and ranges, bounced in sequence.
Archive every finished track as stems: the version that outlives plugins and subscriptions. Swap stems with collaborators without swapping sessions.
Cherry-pick stems for upload: remix packs, sync libraries, AI platforms, cloud collaboration. Bounce once, send anywhere.
1.0 launches soon and beta testers hear first. Full user manual included.
