How to export tracks with effects in Logic Pro
When working with Logic Pro, there comes a moment when you want to send your projects to a mixing– and mastering engineer or collaborator. A common problem is that the exported tracks suddenly sound “dry” and do not reflect the sound you created in your session. This is often because Effects, the above Aux Sends are lost in the export process. In this blog post, we will show you step by step how to solve this problem and ensure that your tracks, including all effects, are exported perfectly.
The importance of correct export for mixing and mastering

Step-by-step guide to exporting to Logic Pro
Here are three methods you can use to ensure that all your effects are exported correctly.
Method 1: Move Aux tracks to the Track area and export
when you in Logic Pro create a bus, it will automatically be assigned to a Aux track which is only visible in the mixer by default. To make this track visible in the track area, proceed as follows:
- Right-click on the channel strip of the Aux track in the blender.
- Select the “Create new track” option.
- Alternatively, you can use the keyboard command
Strg-Tto bring the track into the track area.
As soon as the Aux track visible in the track area, select it and export it with Strg-EThis will ensure that the effects sent to that bus are included in the exported file. This method is ideal for Effect channels to export cleanly and efficiently.
Method 2: Internal Bouncing with MIDI Regions
Another way to ensure that the effects of Audio Export not lost is to perform an internal bouncing:
- Move the Aux tracks from the mixer to the track area.
- Create an empty MIDI region as a placeholder.
- Select this region and perform an internal bounce, either with
Strg-Bor via the menu File -> Bounce and place regions.
This procedure creates a new audio file that contains all Effects of the bus. You can then copy the original effect plugins to the Aux tracks to save CPU resources. This method is particularly useful in complex Music production projects.
Method 3: Bounce the project and solo the aux tracks
This method is particularly suitable for projects with Track stacks:
Exporting with effects rendered vs. dry is a mastering-relevant workflow decision — the context is provided by the Mastering Guide.
- Switch that Aux track or the entire Track stackthat you want to export, solo.
- Bounce the project (
Strg-B), making sure that all Effects are deactivated on the master channel.
This approach is particularly useful if you have many tracks and want to export certain groups (e.g. only drums or guitars) separately without Effects be lost. This method ensures that all Effect channels be taken into account when exporting.
Tips for the perfect export
- Avoid double effects: Make sure that no unnecessary effects are active on the master channel to avoid distorting the sound.
- Test listening: Always listen to the export before sharing it to make sure that all Effects are included and everything sounds as desired.
- Organize projects well: Organize your tracks and effects clearly to Export process to facilitate and avoid errors.
