WHAT IT IS

Why get processed stems

Processed stems are the grouped pieces of your finished mix, printed with their mix processing: for example vocals, drums, bass and music, each as its own file.

They are the format live engineers, sync licensing and remixers ask for. With print-ready stems you can perform with more control on stage, hand a clean set to a supervisor, or come back and re-balance later without redoing the mix.

This is an export add-on to a mix. Order it with your Mixing and Mastering so the stems come straight from the finished session.

Each stem is bounced to the same start point and sample rate, so they line up instantly when you import them anywhere, with no drift or guesswork. Because the mix processing is printed into every file, a live engineer or supervisor hears the record exactly as you approved it, just split into parts they can control.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Your finished mix, in separate pieces

Print-ready stem groups

Vocals, drums, bass and music as separate files, printed with the mix processing already on them.

Aligned from zero

Every stem starts at the same timestamp, so they line up the moment they are dragged into any session or playback rig.

The mix, not the raw tracks

These are your stems as they sound in the finished record, with the EQ, compression and effects baked in, not the dry recordings you sent us.

WHO IT IS FOR

The deliverable everyone asks for later

Sync agents and music supervisors ask for stems as standard, because an editor needs to duck the vocal under dialogue or run the drums alone under a cut. A pitch without stems is often a pitch that gets passed over.

Live playback rigs run on them. Feeding a front of house engineer four groups instead of one stereo file is the difference between a show that can be mixed for the room and one that cannot be touched.

Remixers need them, labels archive them, and future you will need them the day you want an edit and the original session no longer opens because a plugin died three versions ago. Printed stems outlive the project file.

WHAT TO SEND

How the grouping gets decided

If we mixed the song, nothing. We print the stems straight from the finished session, which is the only way they genuinely match the record.

The standard split is vocals, drums, bass and music, and that covers most requests. If a supervisor or a label has handed you a spec, send it, because custom groupings are normal and it is far cheaper to print them correctly the first time than to come back for them later.

Tell us whether you want the stems taken before or after the master. Pre-master stems sum back to your mix and are what most sync briefs expect. Post-master stems carry the finished loudness, which some playback rigs prefer. If you are unsure, ask in chat and we will tell you which your use case needs.

HOW IT WORKS

From order to delivered stems

TIME AND CHANGES

Turnaround and revisions

Delivered with your order

Added to a mix or master, they arrive with the finished song. Ask in chat for timing if the session is already closed.

Unlimited revisions

Within the scope of your order. A different grouping is a reprint, not a new job.

Need it sooner?

Add a rush order if a sync or label deadline is driving it.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between these and my raw stems?

Raw stems are the dry files you sent us. Processed stems are those parts as they sound in the finished mix, with the EQ, compression and effects printed in.

How many stems do I get?

The standard split is vocals, drums, bass and music. Custom groupings are normal, so send the spec if you have been given one.

Are they aligned?

Yes, every file starts at the same timestamp so they drop straight into any session or playback rig without lining anything up.

Pre-master or post-master?

Your choice. Pre-master stems sum back to your mix and suit most sync briefs. Post-master stems carry the finished loudness, which some live rigs prefer.

Do sync agents really need these?

Frequently, yes. Editors need to isolate or duck parts under dialogue, and a pitch without stems is easy to pass over.

Can you print stems from a song you did not mix?

Only if you can supply the session or the original stems. There is no way to separate a finished stereo file back into the parts that made it.

What format are they?

WAV at the session sample rate as standard. Tell us if a brief requires something specific.

Why not just keep my project file?

Project files rot. Plugins get discontinued, licences lapse, and DAW versions move on. Printed stems still open in ten years.
