THANK YOU! I've moving from another DAW to Logic and I've watched 10+ videos looking for how to setup a multitrack session for a stems bounce - not a multitrack bounce - apparently no one besides yourself on youtube knows how to do this! Thanks for your expertise!
Excellent video Sam! I learn things all the time when i watch your videos ! I would love to see a video on importing stems from an exported session to a mix template.
At last, someone who actually knows the difference between Stems and Multitracks :D I watched the beginning of 5 videos before finding this. Muppets are everywhere :( Excellent video, dude. Thanks.
Thanjs fitnr your clearly explanation!🙏👍 merci beaucoup pour votre explication claire et nette! ❤ dès les 5 premières minutes ont saisi la différence entre stems et multitracks! 🙏
When I due the All Tracks method to get my trackouts lately I'm running into the files being off in time by 2 seconds. Any know cause and fix for this?
Thanks for this mate. Question though.. I would like a simple way to export stems (grouped instruments) with effects baked in to each stem and sounding the way it would if you bounced each group separately. I have not found an effective way to quickly do this yet. I have to bounce each group and wait through each bounce. It's quite tedious. While it's nice to be able to export sends as seperate tracks, there are some use case scenarios where having the effects baked in to each stem is ideal ie. printing stems for backing tracks, sometimes I track vocals in a seperate session to save on CPU in productions with massive track counts. Being able to print out stems with effects baked in is ideal because you retain the feel and vibe of the production, bring the track count way down but yet have some level of flex-ability to adjust the mix for what the artist needs. Do you know of a way to do this?
I have a question. So for example, I have grouped kick and bass together as bus processed, which has compression and saturation for punch and low end energy, so now when I am exporting that bus, I am getting the original kick and the bass as well as the kick and bass group. Which ones should I keep? It’s so confusing!
I think this maybe depends on which tracks you have selected when you hit export. Make sure you’ve just got the bus selected when exporting. Is it a regular bus or a track stack?
Hey Sam, I'm revisiting this video as I have a specific scenario. I have an older mac and I'm running into Overload issues due to a high number of tracks, plugins and buses. I've created track stacks where appropriate and I would like to export to disk. So one file each for drums, ac guitars, bass, based off each of the track stacks. The idea is that I do as 'save as', re-import the wavs, delete the multi-tracks and hey presto, less work for logic to do. However I would like to be able to automate by sends. I know I can right click in the mixer and display tracks and export, but if I export with effects, am I doubling up. I want the track stacks to embed the compression and eq plugins, but not to include the sends. I'm not sure if I'm making sense. Is there a way to do this?
Hey John. If I’m understanding you correctly, the best way would be to export the stacks without FX, then do another export with just the FX with the automation moves. That way you’ve only got one lot of the FX and it’ll be on its own channel. Is that what you’re looking for?
@@SamLoose Thanks for getting back to me Sam. So do I lose EQ, Compression and other plugins that are put on the tracks or track stack with that approach? I suppose I could bounce in place first. That might do the trick. I don't have automation completed yet in my scenario as I keep getting the overloaded error. So the idea is to have a minimal session with stems (of the track stacks) and have my reverbs and other sends available for automation from a track.
If it’s the EQ and compression you’re automating, and it’s all getting a bit confusing, here’s what I’d do. Create some new stereo tracks with the inputs set to be the busses of the outputs of the track stacks. So if track stack 1 outputs to bus 7, for example, create a new track with the input of bus 7. Then when you hit record on that track, it will record everything coming out of the track stack including the automation. You would also route any send FX into it if you want them to be exported with that track stack.

Thanks for watching Jose! I’ll see what I can do for that video 👌

😎 Thanks Mike! Cheers for watching.

Logic 11...when i export stems using TRACK NAMES, the names start out right but change back after normalization
Awesome! As always.
Thanks!
Great Video
Thanks for the visit!

I always thought stems was a made up thing from South Park
