+ - Stem exports are covered fully in the Export - chapter. A stem export creates one file per track, starting at the beginning of - the session. Each track can then be imported into another DAW. -
-- All data will be lost except the actual audio/MIDI (no plugins, no automation). + Stem exporting allows to transfer files between different systems and + programs 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. +
++ 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. +
++ The toolbar in the Stem Export window also provides a quick way to select either audio or MIDI tracks or busses. +
