Bouncing stems
Sorry for the potentially stupid question, but how does one make stems out of a pro tools project, to be sent away for mastering?

Re: Bouncing stems
Hey Chris, So far as I know, there's not a quicker way than soloing the stuff you want to be in a particular stem (EG drums), bouncing those, then soloing the tracks that'll make up the next stem, bouncing those and so forth. Presumably if you're sending off stems to master then you've already mixed it, so your mix groups might take out some of the button bashing between bounces, but whatever way I look at it realtime bounce drives me up the wall lol. Make sure you're start times are the same each for each bounce even if there's just blank space at the beginning on some of them, so that everything lines up neatly for your mastering engineer. Be interested to hear how this turns out for you man! I've had plenty of stuff mastered, but never done it via stems yet.

Re: Bouncing stems
We've always just sent mixes so far. The songs that are being mixed at the moment here might benefit a lot from the stems approach though thinking about it. It's all a bit tight timeframe wise, but maybe I'll grab stems of these and see how that goes if we finish ahead of schedule and have a few extra days to play with.

Re: Bouncing stems
Hey Scott, Just a jump in here on my part. When it comes to using a mastering house, you really need to know the individuals work, and have a very close work relationship the the engineer. Using stems is a very open ended license for someone to take deep and radical liberties with the artist work. I'm not saying it's bad, just a large leap of faith, if you don't know their work intimately. And of course, this can also typically lead to higher cost for the artist with mixes being redone, over and over, until you or the artist's are please with the results. Just a thought.
