No sampling or resampling is allowed. The audio needs to come from the MIDI and you can't freeze/bounce even for consistency. You can however process the audio using FX plugins (delays, reverbs, eq etc.) while it's being outputted from the synth, but manipulation in terms of stretching, chopping up etc. is not allowed.
Alright thanks I guess I will have to backtrack on my song a bit to account for that. What about using tool / utility devices from your DAW for gain staging?exponent1 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 9:28 pmNo sampling or resampling is allowed.

The only use case for allowing bouncing/freezing is freezing the entire tracks/channels to save CPU.
Sometimes I record the audio directly from the output of the synth channel. It captures the performance and is a straightforward procedure, no need for any midi programming. Also, I almost always bounce the midi to audio, just to be done with it and commit to a sound (also to save cpu sometimes, avoid vst crashes and reduce loading time for a project). Nothing wrong with this, I hope?exponent1 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 9:28 pmNo sampling or resampling is allowed. The audio needs to come from the MIDI and you can't freeze/bounce even for consistency.

Nothing wrong with it as long as you leave the bounce of the track just as it is - (equivalent to freezing a track)Bojo34 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 10:31 am Sometimes I record the audio directly from the output of the synth channel.

EDIT: someone explained it better, didn't notice the answers
As long as you're NOT mangling the bounced audio further, it's perfectly fine. Although it's advisable to retain the midi in the highly unlikely scenario of your project file being inspected for any discrepancies.Bojo34 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 10:31 am Sometimes I record the audio directly from the output of the synth channel.

The official rules regarding samples:OSC might request project files at any time. Failure to produce it upon request will lead to disqualification.
(intellectual property respected with file used for examination only and destroyed immediately afterwards)
No use of samples, sample libraries or live sounds (like voice, guitar etc allowed).
However, for convenience or CPU saving, synth bouncing are allowed but only where the EXACT same result could have been achieved using the original synth: - This means that for example pitching and reversing is not allowed; sampling a bass drum in order to get a consistent sound is not allowed either.
Samplers used must be host samplers or freeware and easily available.
More Clarification: Audio must not be touched at all once it leaves the DAW (i.e. after bouncing a track or a stem). For example: One cannot master the audio in another software or service. Also, If you need more performance / CPU a workaround is to freeze all the tracks.
1) Yes if you're using them for reverb (e.g. not using them for other convolution sound design purposes)
