Re: Stems vs Multitracks

Because if you're working in post it would be a mess of sessions with hundreds of tracks. Also, the term stem existed long before pro tools and even longer before commit was a twinkle in pro tools eye. Thats why you would use stems generally printed from a sub group. In music it's less common. What you're describing is the equivalent to the point of this topic,multitrack are what you would share in you're case Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JUST had this, last week. Woman(bandleader) wants me to do a mix for her, after having an engineer, who claimed to be trained by Bruce Swedien, do a mix for her. I've known BS for decades(and I know 'bs' when I hear it), he did NOT train this dude. The 'engineer' she was working with(not the mixer) sends me 'stems'. Not only were these just individual tracks, but they were labeled "HFITSTkik, HFITSTsnr" etc. AND, they were all normalized...

Re: Stems vs Multitracks
Normalization? Yuk! Wasted code. I can't believe someone sits there and writes code for it for a DAW. Should be banned.

Re: Stems vs Multitracks
Well, if you want to have a master limiter on your 2-track and you try to not do any limiting, isn't it the same thing? So in other words, normalizing the final mix to -0.3 rises the levels and guarantees that there is no limiting whatsoever. So it's not completely uselsess

Re: Stems vs Multitracks
This is SO old.
Normalization is nothing more than gain with a defined max level relative to 0 dbfs. The "stems"-definition question I'm afraid will ride us for the unforeseeable future - I don't care. Semantics. |

Re: Stems vs Multitracks
Exactly. The meaning of terms.
If stems means multitrack now, how do you say "stems"? |
