Exporting stems and master automations

[atux]

Hi all,

in a project from which I export three audio tracks (STEM export):

how do I export the Master automations?
So that when I import the stems into a new project, the master automation also appears at the top.

Thanks,

@atux

how do I export the Master automations?

In short: you cannot.

Stem export is just audio data - either raw unprocessed, or with plugin FX applied.
It does not include any meta-data nor any plugin settings or automation.

The idea for stem export is to use a common format that any audio-software supports (here: .wav files)

–

What you could do: Copy the project with the automation (Menu > Session > Save as), exclude all media, and delete any unused tracks, only keeping the master-bus.

Then import the stem-exported audio files into that session.

Yes, I can do that.
