The BEST Way to Send STEMS for Mixing | Exporting Tracks in Logic Pro

[@SpencerAnnis]

Thank you for making this video. Mixing engineer here! I have forwarded this video along to many clients for file delivery instructions , and it’s been so helpful to make sure I get what I need.

[@bmurda_]

I wouldn't mind seeing how you would do it with busses, if you don't mind!

[@dannyhong8490]

Honestly came here excited to learn how to export with the bus 🥲

[@kennethezeadiugwu7238]

Yea that’d be huge

[@jaquaghnlord2883]

Facts

[@citadelo5ricks]

Yes BUSSES!!

[@ZORAN_vgj]

any idea how??

[@victormendoza8809]

Thank you for this video! I am a performer/composer mainly and cannot keep up with all the updates in new software. Your speaking pace and clarity makes this process very easy to follow!

[@malcolmburn1113]

you included one very important step that none of the other videos on this subject did. Making sure the time stamps all line up when importing into the new DAW. Thanks.Guess most people dont listen with their ears anymore:)

[@dannymolns3573]

Adam ive been deep doving your older videos all night lol. Love all the stuff ive found 🔥

[@flamencoguitarist]

Every time I forget, I have to come back. Thanks man, simple and so helpful 🙏

Adam Is the Official Guru of Music Software . Thanks

[@proverbalizer]

What about Aux channels and sends. Let's say you have an instrument that sends to an Aux with a delay.... when you get the stem for that channel is the delay mia? Can you bounce stems of Aux channels as a whole....like say you have reverb aux...can you bounce a stem of the whole reverb return for the track as a whole?. Or what about if you're using and Aux for something like parallel compression.? I feel like you're routing can get complex now especially with folder stacks too....

[@HairMetalChris]

I actually was able to follow what you were saying you are definitely a natural. I'm very new at this. I use Studio One but it doesn't seen to different. Thank's again. If you could send me a link or if you have another video have another video that shows the next step of sending the stem I'd greatly appreciate it.

[@wavvyboi]

could u do one with bus routings? not rlly understanding that system how it is affecting gain staging etc.

[@SnakeBonesBeats]

RE: getting the busses exported- does creating an arrangement track for the mix bus and then following this process cover it, or are there more steps? I'd love to see a video on this process!

[@leodicrocemusic]

Thank you, brother. You saved me so much time. I was looking for a way to export, starting at Bar 0. I didn't know I could select the cycle range. Lesson learned: open my eyes.

[@trmus]

Friend, Logic is full of options, i started with Logic 9 and until today i'm learning things, like workarounds and such. Keep it going this sofware is awesome.

[@bfdavdb]

Extremely helpful video, thank you. Question though. Is there a way to preserve the color coding done, as well as the groupings created via track stacks so that when I import the project, it lookss exactly like my MIDI project with color coding and organization all in tact? Thanks a million!

[@jaycole1900]

I really needed that info. Thanks Adam

[@imamusicmogul]

Glad I can help 🙏

[@LordHarlyquinn]

Respect bro, I'm a proper logic noob so this helped A LOT

[@BraidedJanes]

Great video! What about the volume levels, is there a way to export it at the original level?

[@Bjornandhisguitar]

I have just updated to sonoma and I cant export stems to project length. Anyone having the same problem?

[@bptone4667]

Hi Adam. Do you usually stem out only as STEREO files? What about Mono Instruments? Doing it like in your Video would mean Basses and Vocals would be Stereo.

[@TomBVoxman]

Thanks for this. I'm exporting some vocals to send to a mix engineer. I have Melodyne as an effect, so I plan to export with that, but should I export with EQ or Compression effects, or delete those effects?

[@nowifii]

when using this method i often have issues that some stems come out with some of the processing missing (e.g. LFO Tool) - anyone else have this issue?

[@JimiWaggs]

Dude. Amazingly helpful. Thanks for this.

[@marrmus1c]

once I do that some tracks on not in time from the beginning when I take them into Ableton

[@rendapangestuchannel]

Thank you, I've been looking for this for years

[@billyvalentine4365]

Hey, I thought "stems" were stereo groups of (usually) like tracks (drums / guitars / vocals) and the individual track exports are "trackouts?" Is this wrong?

[@Cod245]

You are absolutely correct. He is bouncing multitracks NOT stems. Everyone watching this video now thinks multitracks are called stems. Isn't that just fantastic?

[@mixedbyangelo9093]

Best explanation. Will send it to a client right away. Thanks

[@advantagevideofilms]

Thanks. Well organized and presented. Very helpful.

[@bearpitrock]

Trim file length! Thats what the problem was! Was driving me nuts. Thanks dude. 🙏🏽

[@GottaGoEdge]

can someone tell me why my audio files are exporting as just the beat of the song ? like my chorus and verses are the beat when I export them for some reason

[@kevingregoire2764]

I always have issues with exporting Mono files in Logic. They tend to all be to the left if I do.

[@MicahGoode-lz6fm]

None of my files are the same length and I’m not sure why. I followed your steps correctly but say a guitar started 30 seconds into the song, the exported audio file doesn’t add the 30 seconds of silence, it just plays right away

[@carsenpirnstill3202]

Did you solve this issue? Having the same problem here

[@MicahGoode-lz6fm]

I had an awful workaround but needed to submit stems so I did it anyway. Essentially for each channel/instrument, I found a small clip of my audio that had no sound/wavelength, trimmed it (commmand T), moved the empty audio clip to the very start of the track (ensuring they are all starting at the same place) and then used command J to join the clip at the start to your actual audio. This is definitely not the most efficient way but I was desperate.

[@carsenpirnstill3202]

@@MicahGoode-lz6fm Thanks dude, this actually helped big time. Not sure what bug is causing this issue

[@GangstaOfProphecy]

How do i highlight multiple tracks at once

[@philsheldrake7158]

This was really helpful - cheers! Do you have a link to how you export stems with the bus tracks?

[@4444-s3x]

I download alot of drum sounds from everywhere they always come super compressed how can I use them without it clipping or tuning down the volume to the point I can't hear them properly 🤔

[@b00gzzz]

I think you might need to look for higher quality samples, I personally use Splice.

[@4444-s3x]

@@b00gzzz even Decaps stuff clips i use splice tho

I can't tell you how many times I've recieved stems that are all out of order because of the trim silence tick. That is the biggest deal of this entire video hahaha

wait so buses arent included?

[@noegonzalez3247]

Hey I’m struggling to find a way to share my music on logic to my phone but with the best quality I can get. Could you show how you can do that if that’s a possibility?

Thanks!

[@lisaquam5537]

This just saved me hours of extra work! Seems I work backwards

[@BoosGunn]

What’s the difference between export and bounce? Maybe I’ll find out by the end of the video, but don’t want to forget to ask either 😂

[@imamusicmogul]

Bounce is a your stereo master file. Export tracks is if you want to export single tracks
