Hi All!

I've set up a side chain effect (using the mother ducker) in my project on MPC Live 2.

How do I export the stems with this effect still in tact?
Is it possible?

I'd like to know how to export with effects like reverbs too but just wondering if I'm wasting my time trying to export the effected 'ducked' sound.

Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance and have a great day.

You can’t. Unless I’ve missed it in new updates

You can bounce stems with efx that are on pads or whole programs. You can also print returns and sends by checking that option in the mix down section. But the mother ducker is a no go

Ok, good to know about the Mother Ducker. Thanks.

What's the process of exporting with effects included? I can't seem to find the answer online and can't see an option to include effects when exporting or exploding tracks.

BTW my process to export is to hit save > audio mix down > then select my usb drive to save to. This gives an option to 'explode tracks' (and a few other things) but nothing about including effects.
