The complete stem mixing workflow

Stem mixing has many benefits

• Faster workflow
• Easily balance groups of tracks
• Create perfect separation & clarity between instruments
• Make things LOUD with less damage

In this video, Fab Dupont breaks down how to set your session up to stem mix and then walks you through his mix of The Arrows Prisoner where he dishes tricks on making louder and clearer mixes.

Stem mixing is one of the best ways to gain flexibility and bigger picture control over the shape of a mix as a whole. Become a pro at managing your mix’s dynamic range and deliver radio-ready mixes.

Fab shows you how working in a stem mixing workflow has the added benefit of distilling a HUGE session down to just 8 channels that he can alway keep at his fingertips.

Plus when it comes time to print a performance track or create a Live session for the artist, his work is already done - no re-routing or repetitive bouncing necessary.

Pay close attention to the details in the routing that make Fab's setup incredibly powerful and easy to use.

P.S. Don't forget the most important detail of them all: always color your stem tracks Baby Blue.
