How to export audio stems, one wav file per each track?

PostTue Aug 20, 2019 2:55 pm

I have a project with one stereo track and one mono track.
I want to export each of those 2 tracks as one wav file. So that I get one stereo track and one mono track separately.

This does not seem to be possible which I can't believe. I must be missing something.

I tried all combinations on the audio page. I tried rendering with and without the "render one track per channel" option.

I tried "Ouput track" set to Main stereo, Timeline Track, All Timeline tracks.

"All timeline tracks" comes close but what it does is creating one single file. When I import that back into Davinci, it has each channel as one mono track. So I'm geting 3 tracks, 2 mono channels for L/R of the stereo track + the additional mono channel.

Is there no way to simply export all audio tracks in a timeline as separate stems?

This is how I render audio stems:

Select Output Track 1: Timeline Track
Enter the desired Track Number to output

Change the track number for each stem and output one at time.

We continue to work on improvements here. For now JPs method is a potential workaround for some workflows.

That's great to hear, Peter. My first attempt was to solo a track and then render, but that didn't achieve the desired result. It would be a cool feature if there was a way to output all stems with one render.

On the deliver page, select Audio Only export preset.

Format: Wave
Check "Render one track per channel" and "Render as discrete audio tracks.
Output Track 1: All Timeline Tracks

Those settings will queue up a job to export each Audio Track as individual L and R mono .wav files
