David- I hear you loud and clear(no pun intended) and I too am having tremendous difficulty with bouncing tracks.
I also tried to solo and mute track(s) and then bounce through Pro Tools but I was getting some funky results. I was eventually able to bounce a stereo mix but the db level was way too low.
I am assuming you tried to bounce each track separately with mixer effects(wet) and the only way to do that was to create a separate output? Was it busses or outputs? Just curious?
As you know this is new software and I am huge SD fan and I use it for a lot of my work so I am willing to be as patient as possible as these guys fix the bugs.
Lets keep our fingers crossed!!
