In this video I demonstrate 3 tricks to use Stem Splitter for remastering and enhancing stereo mixed files. The first two are both drum replacement techniques, and the third is enhancing vocals in a mixed file. Enjoy! Support the sponsor of this video!

If you don’t want to remove drums manually, you can take the drum stem and hit it with an EQ or multipress to minimize the drums you don’t want and increase the DBs on the ones you want, then bounce it in place. The transients should be much larger on the drums that you want, then use the DB threshold in the drum replacement stage to eliminate what you don’t want. They’ll still be a little bit of cleanup, but it works pretty well. If you want to do it manually, you could do it all in one shot by locking the SMPTE on both tracks and slowing the tempo down after you have sliced the transients. After you remove the drums, adjust the tempo back and unlock the tracks.
So if you find a drum pattern you like in a song you like and isolate the drum pattern. Then replace it with a different drum a slightly different beat, is this copy right infringement ?
You could get away with that. It's not copying. If you use it as is then you might. Especially if it's pretty recognizable like the drums to MJ Thriller.
If you use the original recording in your own recording, then you are supposed to get sample clearance for it, because you are using someone else's sound recording in yours. But if you just use the drum pattern as a template to build your own, no, no copyright infringement. Like if you replaced ALL of the drums in the pattern, it wouldn't be copyright infringement. Although, that said, if you manipulate the sound heavily and change up some samples in the beat, you likely will get away with it. (This is not legal advice).

Sure. Drum Replacement is used all the time in mixing. But I'm assuming here we are working with tracks where we don't have access to the original sessions/projects.
Big love to Logic. I would, though, love Ableton's "Convert Drums to new MIDI track", as it pairs so well with the new ability to stem-split. Isolating each hit by hand definitely seems lightyears behind for this one particular workflow. th-cam.com/video/ew3Fx-ZJPJE/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared&t=60

I'm currently taking apart some live desk tapes from the early 90s and making them listenable. What a time to be alive!
That stem splitter is sooooo cool. You are already a PhD in the Logic stem splitter. Thanks MTHG !
Great tut video as always from the King Of Logic, Josh!!
Such great tips!! Thank you!! Logics new tools are amazing

Great tips!
great video and great tool !!
Is there a way to redirect this signal to a Logic Instrument Track instead of a bunch of samples?
Going to use these tips to remix my band's live mixes.
Do u provide service to deconstruct a mixed track and enhance the quality of all stems?
I hope in the near future updates the stem separation can get detailed and capture the percussion loop!!
…and, Stem Splitter that split outs separate Piano and Guitar stem, just like RipX does…
Yo! What's the key command you're using to "un-grey" the original track you stemmed from?
Control M. It mutes or unmutes regions.
Ok. As long as the actual splits are replaced or buried, I can see how it could be useful for more than practice tracks.

👍👍👏👏👏
could you just add another snare on another track on the hits and make it sound better with the original drum track??
Sure. Drum Replacement is used all the time in mixing. But I'm assuming here we are working with tracks where we don't have access to the original sessions/projects.
I really appreciate if anyone can confirm this Stem splitter can separate the Dialog and the Sound FX out of a Film Audio.
