yeah, i think i was mixing up regions and ranges here....

1. you can /bounce/ *regions*. when you do that, a new region comes up
in the region list. the playlist of the current track is not changed.
there is no option to select processing or not. what exactly happens here?
(suggestion: the context menu entry should say "bounce to region list"
to make it consistent with the range entry described below.)

2. you can /consolidate/ *ranges* , and you can also /bounce them to the
region list/ them, both with and without processing.
consolidating means that everything in the range will become a new
region that is automatically inserted into the current playlist. you can
consolidate regions in multiple tracks at once.
bouncing a range will just add a new range it to the region list,
without affecting the playlist.

am i getting this right?

for some extra confusion, ranges also offer the option "convert to
region [in place|to region list]". now what does this do? and is it
really orthogonal enough to bouncing and consolidating to warrant an
extra menu item?
