I really love your drum covers! Please do more to Lewis Capaldi's songs! Someone You Loved, Before You Go, Leaving My Love Behind, Forever, Hold Me While You Wait. Please
This is sooo helpful. Thank you for putting this together! One question regarding the sends: What happens with sends that contain verb, delay etc? Ideally I want those effects to be printed with the music and not as a separate stem. What happens when I bounce using this technique?
Great question. If you’re bouncing out of a production session (as opposed to a mixed stem session like this), then this grouped approach isn’t the right solution. You’d need to solo out the stems for that group, which should print their FX sends.
@@eldowns Eric, gosh, my gratitude just multiplied by 3. Not only is the technique slick and clear, but your lightning response just allowed me to keep working without missing a beat!
@papapilar3 What OP meant to say was: Ableton’s export dialog has a “include master effects and returns” option. That’d sure be a giant pain having to manually export each one, cmon OP lol 😂
For some reason when I resample or bounce stems to print/commit my plugins I used (to save DSP on my Apollo) and put them back into my session the volume is way lower. Is there any reason behind this? I know my master is -6db but even when I adjusted that it still was lower in volume. I'll check for any compressors/limiters later but any thoughts as to why this happens to me?
It sounds like one of the plugins in your signal chain is adjusting output gain. Where do they meter before you commit and after? What process are you using to commit?
You totally can - just Cmd+Select whatever you want and you can bounce it. You can also do this trick by grouping your tracks and bouncing the groups. I would think a hybrid setup would be a bit messy though.
So when the engineer open the stems is it in the same places like I recorded or all over the place ? And after u processed the stems is it anything u supposed to do before emailing it ?
When it returns to you, you should have a bunch of “zero’d” stems, which means they all start from the same position and play back like you produced them. There isn’t anything Standard you need to do before sending to mix, but you should always ask your engineer first.
when I bounce stems, I get the tracks and also the group tracks. should I be using the group audio stem or the single track audio? will they both be going through the same processing? Sorry kind of confusing to explain but thank you!
Not sure if you' see this and this is a general question kind of; if I'm bouncing the individual tracks in a production session with no mixing, should i bounce the tracks at all the same volume level? Example: Kick: -6db Hats: -6db Claps: -6db or should I just volume mix them before the actual mixing session and set them at different levels, depending on how they sit in the basic mix? Example; Kick: -6db Hats: -15 db Clap: -13 db Fx: -20 db? Hope this makes sense, thanks!
I have a really terrible issue and i desperately need help. I've been producing for about a year now and to cut a long story short all my projects are saved within one project (the first one i ever made) I thought it was no problem as it was organised but now that I've come to trying to move and export stems for other computers' and producers to use i realise its become a huge issue as my files are always offline. is there any way i could sort this out?
Use the Manage Files feature to do a search for your files all across your computer. Assuming it finds them, select File>Collect All and Save, which will copy the files from wherever they are on your computer into the project folder.
Technically what this is demonstrating is not a bounce in place; just a bounce. But you could also achieve this by bouncing groups. You definitely do not ever want to normalize, as this will change the overall level of each stem and cause them to playback too loud and unbalanced.
You can print the effects. If you’re bouncing out of a group, the effects will automatically be printed. If you’re routing like in the video, send the reverb to the appropriate bus.
There's no requirement to create a return track. You can directly make modifications to the track channels themselves. When you then select these tracks and export them using your method, all modifications, including volume faders and in-channel effects, will be preserved.. In fact, in your specific situation, I don't see the necessity for using return tracks at al
You’re 100% correct. The Return tracks are moreso there for visual organization, merging down audio lanes. I also don’t really use this method anymore, though it is still relevant and useful in a number of situations.

2:50 - actual begining of a video. No thanx needed. (My respect and apreciation to the author!! Thanks, bro!
I really love your drum covers! Please do more to Lewis Capaldi's songs!

Please
Thanks- this was a very useful tip!
this is sick! thank you
Dope video!
'Thank you!
Duuuude this is killer
Glad you like it.
Looks neat. In this case, whats the benefit over bouncing each individual tracks, as they are already grouped by intrument types, eg drums, vocals etc
Eh, it’s an old video. I actually do things different these days lol. But the argument here would be simplification and reduced playback session size.
Thank BRO❤
Would you be able to achieve this using groups instead of auxes? On the export settings, using “selected” only?
Absolutely. I just find it easier to route to auxes for organization purposes.

i wish you were able to bounce return and normal tracks at the same time...im running a hybrid of what you have but might have to full on convert

I’ll be releasing a new video on this subject soon.

Is the aux the only way to bounce in place? Normalize or no?

You definitely do not ever want to normalize, as this will change the overall level of each stem and cause them to playback too loud and unbalanced.
What if I already have stuff on returns like reverb/delay?
You can print the effects. If you’re bouncing out of a group, the effects will automatically be printed. If you’re routing like in the video, send the reverb to the appropriate bus.

Why the song in the back go hard
Lol, I just crapped out that beat quickly so the video would have background music.
worst way to send it to pro mixing.
You didn’t understand it.
