For the sake of simplicity, say I have two buses: 1. Vocals Bus (containing all vocal tracks routed to this bus) 2. Instrumental parts Bus (containing all instrument tracks routed to this bus) I have a compressor (CA 2A) in Bus 2 that is fed by a send from Bus 1. When there are no vocal parts active, Bus 2 is at full volume. When there are active vocals, the sidechain makes the compressor to kick in and lower the volume on Bus 2.

Thanks! One more piece of info that just happened: When exporting several tracks that are routed to a master bus that contains a plugin (i.e the Adaptive Limiter), the resulting audio is distorted after the export process, but not when hearing the mix. Definitely something is going on in the interaction between tracks and buses in this scenario of "Tracks Through Entire Mix" source category.

I am sidechaining from a bus to another bus. It's common in ducking, when you want certain buses to drive changes in others (like decreasing the volume of the slave bus when the master bus is active, using a compressor) i.e Vocals lowering the volume of instrumental parts or whole instrumental mix buses. When the routing of the sidechain is between tracks, the exported audio represents what you hear. When it is between buses, it doesn't, it is not what you hear. Apparently the sidechaining on the buses are ignored in the export process. I already PM you with the link to the test project.

Regarding Tracks Through Mix + Sidechaining - I've tested this and here are the results (build 124): If the sidechaining is placed on the tracks itself, the exported audio is correct: it follows the sidechain involved. However, If the sidechaining is placed on a bus, the exported audio does not follows the sidechain, but ignores it. Not sure if this is expected or not. My understanding is that the Tracks Through Mix category should replicate what I hear, all the way through the signal path? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I understand. Perhaps I'm confused. I was thinking about , say two tracks, instrumental + vocals, routed each to a different BUS. The instrumental bus has a sidechained compressor, driven by the vocal track aux send. If I export the corresponding tracks, using the new Tracks Through Entire Mix source category, it will generate two separate tracks, and the instrumental track will be affected by the sidechain?

The ability to export stems with sidechained tracks automatically included is great! However, I wonder if this feature can be selected-deselected by the user, the same way you configure the Mix and Render options? My concern is that not always you want the sidechains to be included in the export, like when the tracks are going to be mixed externally by another studio. Of course a workaround for this would be to use another source rather than tracks, i.e Buses or Hardware outputs, but in this case you will need to export each stem individually as we all were doing, before this great update!

I found issues with the Export Audio functions, that were not present in previous build: The "Time Selection Range" is not working. To reproduce: Select an audio clip Initiate Export Audio Select Tracks Through Entire Mix in Source Category Select Time Selection on "Range" The selection on the track pane changes to entire project, which is wrong, and the audio is exported following this mistaken selection. UPDATE: also, before this build, the selection of a particular clip(s) on the track pane automatically selected the corresponding track(s) and the time region on the export dialog. In this build none of this happens.

So far, this build is working great: Tried the Articulation Pane and is working again as expected. Once you get your export/bounce presets customized to your needs, it's a breeze to execute this tasks. The new Tracks Through Entire Mix Source category makes it possible to export a bunch of tracks routed through plugins on the main buses, each track separately, something that was not possible before. It's a bless for speeding the workflow. Thanks!!

The new darkened windows are great! Minor thing: in the Choose Articulation window, when I double click on an articulation, it doesn't apply, as it did before this update. You have to click Ok. EDIT: I think there is a major problem here: The articulation pane is not working at all... ugh! To reproduce: Insert an articulation on the Art. Pane (usually this one is applied ok) Double click the articulation and select another one (the new art. is not applied and the Art. Pane is no longer working from this point on - will not record any new articulations)
