- Stem exporting allows to transfer files between different systems and softwares
- by exporting each track individually, including silence, to keep them in sync.

-<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.

- 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.
