A Mac running macOS with Logic Pro 11 or newer, and your project open in Logic. First launch runs a short setup wizard: pick your stems folder, confirm the bounce format, and import your Logic key commands.
Scanning reads your project's saved data directly — no UI involved. The bounce itself drives Logic for you (soloing, bouncing, naming files), and macOS requires Accessibility permission for that. Grant it once in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
No. Bounce Buddy only ever works from a saved copy of your project data, and everything it touches during a bounce — mutes, solos, mix-bus plugins — is restored when it finishes. Your session is never modified.
Both. Offline is fastest; choose online (real-time) when your session uses outboard hardware — inserts, analog chains and summing print into every stem.
Yes — offline mode opens any previous bounce or saved project state, so you can review stems, play them back and share them with Logic closed.
Into the stems folder you chose in setup, named from your template. The folder icon in the app's toolbar reveals the full path; snapshots jump straight to any past bounce's files.
