Why bounce?

[TheHopiWay]

I've never warmed to the BTD feature in any software and have always either mixed in the box to a new track via an aux or gone to outboard routing to another machine or back into the box to a new track.
With all the posts about dropouts, failed automation, clicks and pops what's the great allure anyway?
Given the need to review the final product why not just monitor the realtime mix post print and be done with it? That's faster than bouncing and then reviewing.
What piece of the puzzle is my feeble mind missing?
Just curious.

I guess it's the fact that a lot of users get a lot of crackles/pops etc. during playback, while these do not occur when bouncing.

I guess I wasn't aware of this in regards to Macs.
Most of the posts I've seen complain of BTD problems.
I've never had a problem with clicks/crackles/pops with DP 3 or DP 4 on my dual 867.

I;ve been BTD since 2000 in DP and never had an issue. Other people have diff configs. All My CPu is ever used for is Music / Mixing so I keep an OS on a sep HD streamlined just for Mixing

When you say outboard route to another machine, you mean another DAW, right?

Yer not mixing to a DAT or something, are ya?

At times another DAW, at times a 1/2 track tape machine (rental) or a Masterlink CD burner.
I have used a DAT but that was long ago and cars looked different then.................................
