Stem Mastering Part 3: Stem Mastering Applied | Mike Wells

[@ElOtroJuanjo]

Love the video but I hate the volume differences between music and the dialogue

[@nunoandrade9018]

so great!!! wow. I'm sold to this "Stem" thing! even in the digital domain this are very cool ideas and work flow. Thanks guys!!

[@skyestapor3007]

Amazing Mastering!!! By a Master!!! Sounds absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@DatAnydex]

Man, those processed stems sound great. This is such an intelligent video. Glad I subscribed a while back since I got my dBox to work with my Apollo 8 quad.

[@DelinoSpec]

Weird flex but okay

[@RestLer-]

Great video, thank's! I'm working at my music in home studio, and now i know how to achieve good quality of sound. All i need is mixing with plug-ins from Tom Frampton, Steven Slate and mastering method by Mike Wells!

[@SXTWLVE]

So how do we process the stem using plugins after we go through the summing mixer? Is that even possible are will it just be the 2 track?

[@DJHazadous1]

Yeah. My ears are very sensitive to sibilance. Listening through my Dre Beats Studios, the stem processing on the vox were overbearing for me. I'll listen on my Sennheisers and DT880s at some point. But interesting how a tube compressor could increase sibilance that much. Seems like glassing limiting was added to those vocals. That's what it sounded like to me. I think they could have benefited from some de-essing. But I do think that he did a great job on the other elements through his stem processing though. One question for me is whether or not he had limiting on top of the entire stem master, or was it just a simple blend of the four processed stems.

Great video. Can I ask, when you are adding the dynamic EQ/limiter/comp to the stems - is this in the DAW via plugins before it goes out into the DA/2 bus+, with an overall compression/eq and being added outside the box to the stereo mix? I hope that Q makes sense. Thanks

[@riktascale4]

Thanks a lot for this video. I own a dangerous 2-bus+ so this was of utmost interest.

[@ladex142online]

fantastic end result!

[@whippleband9740]

Amazingly similar to what I do in the box.

[@humusiclab8974]

What transformers are you using- analog or digital (ITB)? Are they preamps or just a set of standalone transformers? Thanks.

[@Hugoknots]

Digital transformers don’t exist - those would just be emulations of transformers. I’m sure he went through the transformer in the 2Bus+.

[@humusiclab8974]

@@Hugoknots software emulations, of course.

[@zoaridiolalaina]

Very fantastic video ,big thanks but,I have a question: How about gain staging during the stems processing?

[@dangerousmusic]

Hey Zoaridio, Gain staging is always important, however not the point of this video. Do you have specific questions about gain staging? If so, please contact us via email or phone and we'd be more than happy to answer them.

[@audiokemestry]

fantastic work

[@MrOliverTube]

x-cellent peace of work.... !!!! you´re damn right!

[@davegreen7853]

SO ONCE YOU DONE STEMS MASTERING AND BOUNCED TO A SINGLE STEM DO YOU REMASTER THAT SINGLE STEM ?

[@TheLouisBarnes]

Yeah, master your stems then bounce them into one stereo track & apply a final master to the whole that; doing the same as you initially did before the stem mastering, but you can be much more subtle and allow the track to breathe

[@davidpapendorf6764]

Fantastic Result!

[@brianl25]

nice man

[@mantra3000]

I wonder how much this cool wizard charges.

[@jakejenkins2245]

$100/song for 2+ tracks. $120 for 1. Incredibly reasonable.

[@huincaband]

Jacob is that price for stem? or stem and mastered?

[@shahnewazmanto4798]
