Unlike standard-mastering Mastering - the difference being that we tipically work with stereo tracks and generally not with as many tracks as in the normal mixing process. . work
Mastering in subgroups (so-called stem mastering) is a very popular and effective method in the mastering process. In contrast to the classic "stereo mastering“ (editing the sum of a stereo track), the song is broken down into individual components, i.e. the stems described above (so-called group tracks) to allow separate editing of the grouped audio tracks in the studio. mastering engineer By splitting the song it into stems, the mastering engineer gains more control over the individual instrument groups and can intervene in the pre-made mix in even more detail, if necessary.
STEM MASTERING FAQ
POSSIBLE GROUP TRACKS IN STEM MASTERING
In general, the principle here is to combine “like” with “like” to enable targeted processing. Ideally, the following stems are possible:
- Drums (including overheads)
- Drums / bass (including overheads and bass track)
- Vocals complete (all vocals)
- Lead vocals
- Backing vocals
- Harmony vocals
- Gitarren
- EFX
- synths
- Streicher
- Atmos
- Choir
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED?
Here, it becomes clear that breaking down a mix into its group components always depends on several factors. The following questions should be considered when forming stems
- What style?
- What dynamic should my song / mix have?
- What are the main elements?
- Which tracks can be edited together?
- Should something be changed in the relationship between vocals and backings?
CENTER- AND SIDE-SIGNALS IN STEM MASTERING
Another advantage of stem mastering is that the individual stems can be processed independently in the "mid- and side-signal". For example, the drums can be widened in the upper frequencies, while the vocals can be brought back towards the center. This results in a beautiful, balanced sound mix. Another possibility would be to process the rhythm guitar in the song (if doubled - usually far left/far right) separately in the side-signal, while the guitar solo as a stem (which might be in the center) remains unaffected.
