Ableton question about exporting parts of a track with effects to audio
Alright so I downloaded a bunch of free trials of effects VSTS from loopmasters and went on a music making binge because i’m on a budget and can’t afford to blow $1200 on a legit effects bundle.
Anyway since I assume once the trial runs out here in a few days I will lose my chain of effects, I was wondering if there’s any way that I can export my final arrangement with the automated trial plugin effects back into consolidated audio clips that I can trigger in session mode. Ideally that way later on I can still perform with the cut up tracks without worrying about losing my effects? I use a mixture of midi and audio to create my music.
Another random question… If i’m mixing my tracks down extra low and using minimal compression with the intent of sending them into a third party for final mastering, will they need the original .alp file with all effects signals intact? Or just an audio file?
Thanks in advance for any advice or help, i’m tres noob. 
You should be able to just export the tracks as audio and the exported tracks will have all the effects included. Then import the exported audio file as audio and you should be good to go. Problem is, once you get to your mixdown, etc. you won’t be able to modify the effect levels.
Final mastering likely will likely be dictated by the person doing the master, but from what I’ve read you can just send them the exported, mixed down audio file. There are some people that frequent this board that do mastering professionally, and they request a mixed down audio file with no dither. (eh hemmm Terekith - who has a great site with tips for mixing and mastering by the way)
Just the audio file is all the mastering engineer will need. Ideally 24bit/44.1kHz with dithering and normalize turned off.
file > export > all tracks
no normalising, no dithering, 24 bit 44.1khz (or higher if you like)
To keep all your tracks as audio inside Ableton, save your project with a new name, then select all the tracks (one by one unfortunately!) and do freeze > flatten. Check your Preferences before you do this to make sure you flatten to 24 bit.
