just like that, really? Mix4U instant, another happy nonpaying customer, is that what this place is supposed to be?
I can also bet 500$ and my left testicle those aren't "stems"
Plendakor said:DanLight, could you tell me what is a stem. Like, I know what it is somehow but not exactly.. fully mixed track with pan/comp/eq or simply cleaned dry tracks or wut.
I asked cause I got that "deluxe" Dream Theater album with the stems and when i put them togetter it didn't sound like the real tune.

Stems are the recordings of each individual track. They can have processing or not. They are usually panned (L or R) and balanced (Volume), but not always.stems are basically pre-mixed groups of tracks that are ready to be slapped together. they're usually used for "stem mastering", which is where you essentially give the ME control of the volume level of groups of the mix rather than them dealing with just a final stereo mix. a typical stem session would consist only of drums, guitars, bass, vocals, keys, and maybe a couple more of various/assorted sounds or instruments.

I beg to disagree. When I export any tracks from my DAW, I have the option to export as different file formats, (wav, mp3, aif, etc). I ALSO have the ability to export either the Stems, or the mixdown, and I can export each individual track, as well as any Bus and/or Master output. Then I can save them to disk and/or import them to a track(s) in the current project or a new project. I trust the guys at Presonus to NOT misuse the word Stems, for they've been in music Production for a few more years than you have, I'm safe to guess, In audio production, when talking about what kind of package to send to the mastering engineer. If I were to send him a package of submixes along with the full stereo mixdown, we usually call that "sending the stems". We just refer to them as "premixes" in the Studio. A premix don't often get referred to as "stems" until they are sent to me, the Mixing Engineer.No, that term has been terribly misused lately. Stems means processed tracks, "raw tracks" or "multitracks" is what you are referring to.

Now, we use the term Multitrack, which often refers to the group of tracks pulled from the Engineer's Console. These are usually mixed, and/or Mastered tracks of a finished product, (that is, one thaat has already been balanced, gain adjusted, and time-stamped. This helps facilitate the re-recording of parts and/or doing remixes of a finished product). This is the terminology we use in our studio AND with our various clients.
