Prepare Your Mix: Before bouncing down your project, make sure that your mix is well-balanced and all the individual tracks are EQ’d, compressed, and processed appropriately. It’s crucial to have a solid mix before moving on to the mastering stage.
Choose the Right Format: Decide on the format you want to bounce down your project in. Common formats include WAV, AIFF, set sample rates of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. at 24bit.
Set Proper Levels: Ensure that your levels are not clipping and that there is enough headroom for the mastering engineer to work with. Aim for a peak level of around -6 dB to -3 dB to leave room for processing during mastering.
Organize Your Stems: Carefully organize your stems based on different components such as vocals, drums, bass, etc. Each stem should contain related elements to allow for targeted processing during mastering.
Choose the Right Number of Stems: Decide on the appropriate number of stems based on the complexity of your project, Ensure each stem serves a distinct purpose. Up to 6 stereo stems max.
Export Stems: In your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), select the tracks you want to stem down. Export each group of tracks as stems by soloing the desired tracks and bouncing them down together.
Label and Save Stems: After exporting the stems, label each file clearly to indicate its contents (e.g., drum stem, vocal stem). Save these stems in a separate folder dedicated to the stemmed-down version of your project .
Check Stems for Accuracy: Listen to each stem to ensure they sound as intended and that no elements are missing or incorrectly exported.
