TL;DR
Use Export for stems. If Bypass Effect Plug-ins
is unchecked, it will use effects.
Explanation
There are tons of articles on this already, but I forgot the difference.
The use case is a Logic Pro X project with a bunch of tracks, and I want to export stems/submixes to Ableton so that we can perform them live.
Here is the cheatsheet:
- Use
Export > Tracks as Audio Files... ⌘E
for an individual file/track - Use
Export > All Tracks as Audio Files... ⇧⌘E
for a single file for a whole group of tracks - Double check if any Volume Automation “mixing” is present in the track (press
A
to toggle the Automation view). SelectInclude Volume/Pan Automation
if desired - Double check the
Range
settings and useExport Cycle Range Only
if desired - Specify a custom prefix for stem filenames for good housekeeping
