Wow so this is the first time I have actually thought of trying to do something, that hadn't already been implemented by the Ableton team.

I'm aware that there is an "individual tracks" export option. But what I am trying to do is render 2 versions of the Master channel, with and without its effects, at the same time. You could already do this by setting up a audio channel with its input as "master" and then selecting export "individual tracks", however you then render every other track in the process (which takes fucking long time).

If I could select a more specific selection of channels to render (e.g. Master + channels 3 & 5), this would mean I could render 'pre-master' versions of tracks at the same time as my own 'self-mastered' versions. Could be a really good best practice for producers who know that feel of going back to an old project to render a Pre-master only to find some weird VST glitch has fucked up the way everything sounds.

I expect this would be really easy to implement, AND super useful for a lot of people.

From the Selection Options section of the manual:

Selected Tracks Only — this is identical to the All Individual Tracks option, but only renders tracks that were selected prior to opening the Export dialog.

It doesn't include the master or return tracks, though, since you can not select them.

Oh nice thank you. I think this must be available on a newer version of Ableton as I have not bothered to update in a while. Doesn't matter that you can't select Master or Return tracks as you can just route them to a regular channel anyway!
