Before starting at the export of the stems, first export your own mix (or master) and include it in the package. We’ll be using this as a reference.
Create groups, make sure to separate at least the following stems:
- Drums
- Percussion
- Bass/ 808's
- Instruments
- Vocals
- Sound Effects (Risers, producer tag, impacts etc)
Label all the stems so we can all understand it.
Make sure that the stems on all the channels are safe (below -1dBFS, TP).
Export all the stems. Make sure to include automation in the export and turn off normalisation.
A correct stem export has to sound like your mix when playing back all the stems with all the
faders at 0dB
ZIP or RAR all the files per song.
We’ll make sure to check the files when they arrive and let you know if everything is okay. It could happen that, while processing, we discover something for which we need a different file export. We’ll always contact you to discuss this.
