Exporting all individual tracks with effects (including master)?
Hi Everyone,
I have a final project that has a bunch of midi tracks (with synths) that I converted to audio files within PT. On these audio tracks I have various effects applied. I also have various groups (instrument groups with additional effects applied, VCA channels, send with effects like reverbs, etc.). I also have master channel with some effects. My question is, how do I export each single channel with all relevant effects applied including the master effects? Basically, I want multiple .wav files bounced onto my PC of each track so that someone could drag and drop them into a different DAW or even back into PT without needing the same plugins that I used. In the end, I would want someone to be able to import all these .wav files into their DAW and let them listen to exactly what they would hear if they were in my studio listening to this final projects with all effects applied, groupings, automation, etc. I was wondering how one might do this. Thank you very much in advance! |

Re: Exporting all individual tracks with effects (including master)?
Hi, The simplest way would be to insert a bus for each track/channel that you want to create a wave file of, and rename the bus to the track name, make sure the bus level is at 0 and panning is correct, then select each buss as as the Mix Source in the Bounce Mix window by hitting the + button to add and select all the tracks you need bounced. You can bounce all the busses at the same time.

Re: Exporting all individual tracks with effects (including master)?
To be clear, I think the OP wants all effects committed to each individual track - these effects are shared by multiple tracks (master bus and also multiple send/return FX). In other words, they're essentially looking for a (stereo, I assume) stem of every track. I don't think either of the two suggested methods will work for this case.
If multiple tracks share the same set of effects then I don't believe there's a good way to handle this in PT or any DAW. You're gonna have to go through soloing each track and rendering. Only possibility would be something like Bounce Butler which may not save you that much time anyway depending on the exact number of tracks/sessions.

One more detail: If you master includes compression or limiting, those processes may not react the same with parts of the mix instead of the entire mix. Just something to be aware of

There is no perfect way to do this, but what we do with stems here is bounce the mix up to each compressor insert on the master bus. For me, its a buss compressor and two limiters. Those 3 different mixes then feed the side chain of each of those comp/limters. Then just solo and bounce each stem.
You may have to adjust some of the limiter gains and time shift the tracks a little along the way, but this has gotten us 98% of the mix on stems. |

Re: Exporting all individual tracks with effects (including master)?
If you plan to bounce individual stems (drums, guitars, vocals, etc.) and want to have all stems imported in a new Session (dubbing stage) to get the same mixed sound, then you should not use any FX plugins on your SubMix Track or Master Fader Track. Especially Dynamics will screw up the balance if you solo individual stems when bouncing. There is just no way around it.
Stem bouncing is one of the biggest headaches in every DAW. You have to have a bullet-proof routing configuration especially when it comes to effect sent and effect returns. Sharing effect returns among different Stems works when you bounce each Stem separately, but in general, I would have dedicated effect returns for individual stems. CPU power in current computers should be ok to give you enough horsepower to do that. That also lets you utilize the multiple Mix Source bouncing in the Mix Bounce Dialog to bounce multiple stems at the same time (depending on your routing configuration).

Exporting all individual tracks with effects (including master)?
I always thought that this wasn’t possible. At least not with my workflow. I do a lot of sound design for film and would also like to bounce my tracks separately for the customer but my problem is, I have a multimaximizer or a finalizer at the end of the chain, to smooth the mix out and for me there is no way to play the tracks out separately so that when you play them back all together, they would sound the same as it did in the original mix. I could play them out one at a time but taking something away would cause the finalizer to react differently or is there a mistake in my thinking?
