So I added the delay plug-in after the reverb to add the effect. But that made the reverb too delay-y, so I turned the wet/dry signal to 50/50.

That way some of the reverb came through unaffected to add normal space, while some of the reverb was delayed to add a subtle echo effect.

After adding an EQ to filter out the highs and the lows, the vocal space sat nicely with the rest of the mix.

  Export Tracks as Audio Files…  ⌘E

This is how we might try to produce stems. The real questions arise when considering AUX tracks for sends. Do the tracks get exported? Yes, the AUX tracks get exported.

If the project is complete I think it is prudent to create a new alternative and Bounce and Replace All Tracks which will leave the “printed” audio on every track with all of the plugins and effects removed. Note that if you are using a Summing Stack (it’s a track in the Arrange area) you will get a print of that AUX along with a print of all of the tracks contained in the stack. Ideal for stemming and preserving.

Or perhaps you’re an EDM producer working at a fast clip, and you don’t want to shell out the money to bring every new track to a competitive level.

If you really want to understand an audio recording and hear it in a new way, here are a few pointers on what to listen for. I’m going to break it down to a general technique, and then add an additional advanced technique for experienced musicians, engineers and producers, since they already have more refined listening skills.

Always good to practice. In traditional music theory courses of study there’s the part called “dictation” where you learn to write down what you hear, including basic rhythm and intervals. I should remember to run songs through Capo sometimes.
