Exporting stereo master tracks
When you create a new stereo master track for a song,
the existing stereo master track is overwritten, so if
you want to keep multiple different stereo master
tracks, you should save them to a computer.

make sure that the song for which you want to export
a stereo master track is currently loaded and that you
have already created a stereo master track for it.
