- When a session is finished mixing, one probably wants to export it to a sound
- file to burn to a CD, upload to the web, or whatever. <kbd class="menu">Session > Export > Export to Audio file(s)…</kbd>
- shows the Export Dialog to do this.
+ When the work in Ardour is finished, one or multiple sound file(s) need to be
+ created, be it to be printed to a medium such as a CD or DVD, uploaded to a
+ streaming site or sent to another person or software for further work. This
+ can be done either using <kbd class="menu">Session > Export >
+ Export to Audio file(s)…</kbd>.

- Stem exporting allows to transfer files between different systems and softwares
- by exporting each track individually, including silence, to keep them in sync.
-</p>
-<p>
- If 'Stem Export' is chosen, the 'Channels' tab appears slightly differently:
- in this case each chosen channel (track or bus) is exported to its own file,
- instead of all channels being mixed together into a single file.
-</p>
-<p>
- The exported tracks or busses can, by checking <kbd class="option">Apply
- track/bus processing</kbd>, be exported with the effects/processors applied,
- so that the destination system does not need those effects plugins.
