+ + Stem exporting allows to transfer files between different systems and + softwares by exporting each track individually, including silence, to keep them + in sync. All data will be lost except the actual audio/MIDI. + This is one of the most common methods of interchange because it works between + all DAWs. +
++ The Stem Export window, accessed via the Session > + Export > Stem Export… menu, is very similar to the + Export dialog, except 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. +
- Stem exports are covered fully in the - Export chapter. A stem export creates one file - per track, starting at the beginning of the session. You can then import - each track into another DAW and begin working on it. You lose all data - except the actual audio/MIDI (no plugins, no automation). This is one of - the most common methods of interchange because it works between all DAWs. + The exported tracks or busses can, by checking Apply + track/bus processing, be exported with the effects/processors applied, + so that the destination system does not need those effects plugins.
