Hello, I have a simple question. When I right click on a track in Reaper and choose "render to stems", does the track audio pass through the mix buss while rendering? Meaning, if I render a track and have effects inserted on the mix buss, do those effects get added to the rendered track. It would be useful to know since I wouldn't want to apply effects more than once in most instances. Thanks!

They do indeed.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose I'll just disable the master track effects before rendering individual tracks.

Track automation gets written into the rendered file as well.

I figured this out as well, one question tho... How do you disable all effects globally ? Any shortcuts? I'd like to use this when making stems. Tnx !

If this is true, I dont understand how I get overs on the master when I stem render with the master FX off, but dont with them on... (limiters/etc...)
