So if it’s a matter of having to deliver stems that perfectly match your Stereo Mix Down - there are way’s to accomplish this. In my personal experience, things like basic EQ curves usually translate pretty well and don’t drastically alter the sonics - unless of course you are aggressively pushing gain or drive to saturate the Mix Bus on purpose.Īt the end of the day, your deliverables will usually provide the best insight as to how to deliver your stems, and how to set up the routing in your DAW. So the short answer is that “usually” (not all the time) this is something to be taken into consideration when printing stems. This can also be the case when dealing with saturation as well. This is because the tracks are summing together and effecting the cumulative level that your dynamics processing is responding to. Or to be more clear, Specifically when dealing with things like Mix Bus Compression, or any dynamics processing that may be potentially reacting to the whole mix vs individual elements.Ĭase in point: If you have some epic SFX Tracks that are kicking your Mix Bus Compressor or Limiter into overdrive - if you muted those tracks and played back the same mix - you would most likely note that your levels would be different. However - one thing that I do want to mention with respect to exporting Stems, is that the minute you involve ANY Mix Bus Processing (on your Main Outs) the whole entire concept of ‘Stems’ kind of goes out the window. Not necessarily any hard rules - but more along the lines of some guidelines and tips that I’ve picked up over my years of having to deliver stems for various clients. So essentially - a Q & A Video Response that will hopefully help clear things up a bit more for those who had further questions.įurthermore, last week was all about how to export Stems from your Studio One Song - (and the difference between Tracks vs Channels) whereas this week I wanted to focus more on routing options, and how to go about structuring your Studio One Song to ensure that exporting Stems doesn't become a tedious process. In this weeks video, I wanted to dig down a little further into some of the questions and comments I received from last weeks video "Tracks vs Channels - Exporting Stems In PreSonus Studio One”. ![]() That being said - In last weeks video we covered the basics on using the ‘Export Stems’ function in Studio One, and more specifically - the difference between using Tracks vs Channels. Especially when there’s parallel processing, FX Returns, & Mix Bus Processing involved. ![]() I tested with another audio files, and most of times, it's doing the same things.Its safe to say that although it sounds simple enough, exporting Stems can be a tricky subject. I have to do it on Bitwig as on Mixbus/Ardour. With Zoom+Presonus and Presonus alone, the file needs to be converted at 44khz to be played at normal speed, but the samplerate of the song is 48khz and I work on 48khz. ![]() With the Zoom, i have no problems to play it but I can't record because I don't have required inputs. The problem is that the song is playing slowly. I do this on Bitwig and/or Mixbus/Ardour.īUT, recently a friend of mine asked to me to record a drum on his song, he sent to me the track without drums. The ZOOM stills the main interface and with the option "Bridge USB devices to Jack when plugged in" in Ubuntu Studio Controls, I can use the Presonus without problems, in 48khz. ![]() I also records some bands, and as I don't have so much inputs on the ZOOM, I use a Presonus 16.0.2 USB. I use mainly a ZOOM UAC-2 on Bitwig to produce electronic music and rap, I record rappers with this audio interface without problems at 48khz. I have some weird things with my hardware and samplerates on Ubuntu Studio 20.04, let me explain :
