Track Export: No FX if they're applied on a bus!

[Barry Seymour]

Hey everyone. Help with exporting?

I'm trying to export a subset of audio tracks (Lead vocal and three BG vocal tracks) I recorded for someone else's project. The lead vocal track has effects applied directly; the BG vocal tracks are all routed to a bus where the effects are applied.

The resulting lead vocal track has FX, but none of the BG vocals do. I want all tracks to have FX, even if those effects were applied in the bus and not the track

I'd hate to have to apply effects to each vocal track separately just so I can export them. Ugh.

Does anyone have any pointers?

Thanks...

Make sure the bus f/x box is enabled in the export menu, and make sure your bus is selected, too.

No Joy. The bus tracks are still dry. I may end up having to apply effects to the other three BG vocal tracks...

Can you not route the wet Lead Vox track to a Lead Vox bus and then just export the two buses?

@Barry Seymour exporting tracks captures the output of the tracks and NOT the buses so you will not hear bus effects.

If you want bus effects export with source category set to buses. Then solo the track you want and export. This is the only way to do this presently.
