You are a good man. I will learn a lot from you. Thank you bro ! Just watched a video where you did a dnb track from scratch. Pretty intimidating to me, but I will learn 💪🏻 ❤️
Thank you!!! When I export, it converts all my mono tracks to stereo! My vocals, recorded in mono, are bounced out in stereo! There is no processing on those tracks, no routing, since I only mix in Pro Tools. Why is it doing that?
@@Unders If I may, can you do a video showing how to export groups of stems at once...for ex.: one track for all perc, one for all strings, etc.? Thanks

Great to have you 😊 If it’s helpful to you I have over 5 hours of Logic tips and tricks on Udemy which they have on sale for Black Friday here www.udemy.com/course/music-production-tricks-for-logic-pro-x/?referralCode=3EFDE0CE1865DB8E7F7C
When you export them in this way does this make all tracks start at the beginning? I want all of my tracks to have the same starting point. I know how to do it one by one, but it's time consuming.
ok this exports all track but what if I have a project with groups of tracks? Using your method it exports both group and single tracks (the ones inside the group that I don't want). for example I layer some synths in a couple of track and I group them toghether, then I want the stem of the group and not of the single tracks. how to do it?
please tell me what is the best volume level for each stem I should set before exporting? Or should I set the volume level of all tracks as -6 or levels can be different from each other ?.
This depends on what the purpose is. If you want it to play back like the original for example you need to leave them. If it’s for stem mastering -6 is a great target.
hi question :) when i export the stems they are waay quieter than the original files, i verify this by drag/dropping them back into the project and comparing side by side with the original audio. Normalize is off, settings are just like you showed. Any way to solve this??? 🙏🏼😊
Thank you man, very helpful. Can I ask you: will all the files be mono exports? Say I've got OH Left and OH Right, will them become two mono stems of their own? Thanks in advance =)
I use Logic Pro and my new engineer uses FL - when I do this all the wavs just started at the track and there’s no way of him knowing where to put them. Is there a way for them to lined up already ?
Thanks for this. But what if you have tracks going to buses, reverb sends set up etc, this may be a problem. For example, lead vocal and doubles going to a bus that has compression, eq etc on. Exporting the track won't take into account the bus its going to. Any advice? Cheers.
Obviously that shouldn't be happening. I cant be sure off hand why it would happen either, What you could do as a temporary solution is to select all the mixer channels and turn off the plugins on one channel this should mimic across all others. Then bounce.
i have some problem that stems are to loud. my maserlevel is -6db in logic and don't have anything on masterbus. when i reload wavs in logic its all clipping and above 0db. do you maybe know why this can happen? i also have normalize off
Carl Haze make sure normalise is off. Failing that change it to “overload protection” an turn it back on. If you’re still stuck you can email me from the about page 👍
sorry im completly new to this so this is gonna be a dumb question but what do i send it on. like do i send it through email or can i bounce it through airdrop and once i have the stems (im trying to send it from a computer to my laptop so i can work on the song on the go) can i just drag and drop them into a new project in logic or do i have to do something else. im sorry i worded this all weird and it may be hard to understand but like i said im brand new to all this
For what you want. Yeah you could just airdrop them to the laptop and drag and drop into a new Logic session. As it’s for working on the go I’d opt for taking everything as a multitrack so you have every individual part.
How do you export stems for a whole project, like you did, but with their aux returns included in each stem? I have tried to include the aux rtn in the arrange and exported with the stems, however this gives me one wet track of all the stems running through the used aux return!!
That’s actually right. Obviously solo it sounds odd but it’s how the mix works. To include it you need the effect directly on the channel. Alternatively you can bounce the desired stem and six via the stereo out so they sum together
@@Unders Thanks for your reply. To have on each channel means using inserts and just not using aux's, unless i misunderstood? Surely thats not the only way around this? To be able to export multiple tracks in a project with their aux returns printed on them is such a simple task- i dunno why Logic makes it so difficult- unless im missing something! (obvs i could then bounce each track (that had multiple aux returns) individually which avoids the above problem ,however it takes 3 hours to do 50 odd tracks. Not a solution.
Thank you for your video, I'm trying transfer my song files from Logic Pro X to FL Studio, but it's a big mess where all the tracks are not playing at the correct times. Every track just starts playing at the start of the song and we have over 100 tracks! Is there any trick so that things transfer in their correct places within the song?? Thank You!!
Here shorter explanation of just stems here. If you want to include the AUX they will need to all arrive at their own bus. ruclips.net/video/jH9uoxN8jWQ/видео.html
I usually will include it. As when they load up them stems they get exactly the mix you had. However if it’s for say a remix, it’s less important as likely won’t get used.
@@Unders alright, thankyou :D just thought that it might have some weird effect if wavs are exported and each one has a layer of reverb. if you understand me :D
Hey guys Im actually having trouble exporting stems . Like I have a eq automation put on my stereo output channel but when u export the stems . The automation audio file doesn’t show up /: if anyone can help I would really appreciate it . Thanks
Thanks for reply Unders! I just tried and it did not work for me. Do I need to add the aux track to the arrangement page for it to be exported as well?
@@rickcorbonyc you have to bounce the vocal track separately with cmd+b. "Exporting audio track" means the audio track itself gets bounced and the signal that gets sent to the bus isn't included. "Bounce track" means the audio that reaches the master channel gets bounced, so the busses are included. Imo this is so damn annoying cause almost every track in my projects are sent to busses, so i have to bounce everything seperately.
@@beatsbydaku dude I know, Logic needs to change this ASAP. Having to bounce my project to stems one by one is the biggest pain in the ass. Takes like 6 hours for the whole project!
One problem with terminology... you're talk about "Stems" when you are actually only showing the export of "Tracks". The term "Stem" refers to multiple Tracks that have been mixed down (stemmed) into a single stereo "Stem" track. For instance, you may have multiple guitar tracks and you decide to bounce them all down to a single stereo track called "Guitars", and you may create another for Keys, Bass, and Drums. Once you are finished you may have mixed down 30-40 individual tracks into 4 Stems (Guitars, Keys, Bass and Drums). In other words you have 4 stereo Tracks that are now called Stems because they "stem" from multiple tracks.
While everything you say is correct and thank you for taking the time to comment. This is noted in the video when explaining about using the AUX to export your stems. And this process is how you achieve the desired result.
This does not align their start in a place that we can choose, which is annoying. The all tracks only goes from bar 00. I still need to figure out how to start it in a different spot
My logic session is setup in such a way that I have A Master Summing stack containing, 10 Nested summing stacks (each consists of tracks with my favourite instruments ie. sum stack 1 is my fav pianos, sum stack 2 is drums, sum stack 3 are synths, etc.), All 10 of those summing stacks output are routed to a Aux track which I treat as a mix bus/master bus. This Aux track is also within the master summing stack. So the signal flow is something like this: 10 summing stacks routed to-------> Aux track (mix bus) ------------> Master summing stack. If for example i do processing on the aux track and want to export stems, how do i do that?
You have made your life inherently difficult considering you want to export stems later. The fact is you need to make a hard decision about what you actually need on export.
You can bounce the summed stacks, and the aux, The issue being the processing and balance will need to be well below zero ti get the same sum when its just audio.
32bit float is very clever, firstly the 32bit is ridiculous dynamic detail. Like far beyond what a mix bounce should ever need but incredible for extremely dynamic recording situations. The "float" aspect is to do with the headroom and clipping without a super lengthy explanation. If you are bouncing a mix you would likely never need it, if theres dynamic issues as Mastering engineer may ask for a 32bit float to give them a better opportunity to fix an issue.
Thx for the video! When I import my stems they seem to import at 24 bit. They physically make a copy of each track within the folder. This wasn't happening when I started the project. I also checked my logic settings.
I apologize, this is a video on exporting, not importing. By chance, do you know if Logic can import beat stems at 32 bit. My beat stems are 32 bit/44.1 khz. But when I import the stems, they physically make an additional copy of themselves in my stems folder of 24 bit wav and then import themselves.
Hi, I have 2 important questions : - If bouncing with all plugins attached to stems or individual tracks does it include plugins on the Master bus also? - On kicks and snares that have parallel compression on a Bus for example. Why do the stems not have the parrel compression bus on them? appreciate it..
If bouncing with all plugins attached to stems or individual tracks does it include plugins on the Master bus also? No. On kicks and snares that have parallel compression on a Bus for example. Why do the stems not have the parrel compression bus on them? Because your bouncing the channel itself not the bus. Stems = Buses Multitrack = Everything Seperate & Buses
@@Unders sorry didn't see this reply until now. Thanks. WH why on earth would someone bounce the channel of a kick drum when the buses of that kick make and enhance the sound?
This will not export sends, right? So, if I need to export a track with all the sends in it, I still have to solo that track and bounce it separately. (Or show all the sends as separate tracks in the arrangement, so they will get bounced isolated.) Also, does export include sidechaining from tracks you do not export?
This would be the process to get either the multitracks audio or stems. Stem mastering is to bring those stems (SO the buses of the track) into whatever is needed for the final distribution
@@user-wu4gc8rz3q Ahhh. on the stereo out just above the "audio FX" there will be a circle. it should be 2 circles overlapping. click it. Hopefully thats it. I cant think what else it might be.
it does if you include your buses in the selected exports. If your unsure how to do that heres a video on doing what you are after only - ruclips.net/video/jH9uoxN8jWQ/видео.html
but I don't think those are stems, a stem would be exporting the bass bus or the drum bus, or vocal bus, etc, with this you just get a track of each track
Yes. The thumbnail says “export stems and multi tracks” The process is identical. However I’ve made a separate video where I only exported Stems - ruclips.net/video/jH9uoxN8jWQ/видео.html As people like yourself have found it confusing.
I got a problem with stem export. Every time I export my project in stems just like shown in this video, about two of the files end up in the folder and all the others end un in the bin. Those files are only 4ko heavy and can't be played. However if I try to export the stems track by track manually it works well but Jeez it takes long. Does someone have an idea of why this happens? I would LOVE some help cause its a pain in the ass.

Unders I appreciate the reply and the video. I have already gone through the arduous process of removing or bouncing out all plugins and all bussing from my session and I always flatten my tracks once I’ve made my decisions about takes. When I export, over half of my tracks are missing and many of them are cut short or even are bounced long so they don’t line up (and yes, I have it checked to use the locator bars for the bounce). It’s crazy. Like completely unusable. I’m glad this works for other people, but unfortunately I’ve had to spend hours and hours bouncing out each individual track of this 75-track project.
These are not stems, just individual audiofiles. A stem is normally a stereo file of several audiotracks bounced together like i.e all the background vocal condensed into one single stereofile. Or all the drums and percussion into one stereofile....
Yes. The thumbnail says “export stems and multi tracks” The process is identical. However I’ve made a separate video where I only exported Stems - ruclips.net/video/jH9uoxN8jWQ/видео.html As people like yourself have found it confusing.
stems aren't every track, stems are one track for each group eg 1 file for DRUMS, 1 for VOX, 1 for GUITAR etc. This video should be titled exporting tracks not stems :)
@@Unders it's a different process, if you want stems you would eg solo all the drum tracks and bounce them as one file. I think it's a common misconception what stems are.
@@patritz2880 no. It’s the same process to get stem files. Yes. The thumbnail says “export stems and multi tracks” The process is identical. However I’ve made a separate video where I only exported Stems - ruclips.net/video/jH9uoxN8jWQ/видео.html As people like yourself have found it confusing.
Someone who offered to mix/master my stuff referred me to this video. Can I just make a couple suggestions? 1 - don't speak so fast. Is there a time limit on your videos? if not, slow it down a bit. 2 - Maybe make a "no options" version. I get distracted by the times you go to a step and then stop and say "or you can also but I..." That gets annoying for a noob such as myself. Maybe do a version WITHOUT all the "but you can also" and at the end, say "for other options, watch the longer version." Finally, when you start with "you can see I muted all the vocals," please consider that noobs such as myself are asking, "Why? You don't want vocals mixed? They can't be mixed? What's going on?" If it's a tutorial for beginners, they need things like that explained, not treated as assumptions. Otherwise, great video! lol.

Tracks are not stems and stems are not tracks! A Studer A827 is not a 24 stem machine! People confusing stems for tracks wastes so much time for experienced studio personal like me working with inexperienced home recorders who supply the incorrect format and this video is part of the problem! All the way through this you call tracks 'stems', even during the export process where logic is clearly referring to them as tracks, but you say "now it's giving us our stem files". Tracks are the individual files and are typically mono. Stems are collections of tracks and they used to be referred to as 'sub mixes'.
@@Unders This video is about exporting tracks, not exporting stems. Stems are not tracks. Perhaps you might change the video title to 'how to export TRACKS'.

Correct. I don’t how this trend of misuse happened. Your video title should be “How to Export TRACKS in Logic Pro X.”
This does not align their start in a place that we can choose, which is annoying. The all tracks only goes from bar 00. I still need to figure out how to start it in a different spot
bounce in place. But you cannot then bring stuff into other projects and align everything.
My logic session is setup in such a way that I have A Master Summing stack containing, 10 Nested summing stacks (each consists of tracks with my favourite instruments ie. sum stack 1 is my fav pianos, sum stack 2 is drums, sum stack 3 are synths, etc.), All 10 of those summing stacks output are routed to a Aux track which I treat as a mix bus/master bus. This Aux track is also within the master summing stack. So the signal flow is something like this: 10 summing stacks routed to-------> Aux track (mix bus) ------------> Master summing stack. If for example i do processing on the aux track and want to export stems, how do i do that?
You have made your life inherently difficult considering you want to export stems later.
The fact is you need to make a hard decision about what you actually need on export.
@@Unders true, but my logic project would be an absolute mess if i didnt have folders and them routings it makes it easy when songwriting
You can bounce the summed stacks, and the aux, The issue being the processing and balance will need to be well below zero ti get the same sum when its just audio.
what would 32 bit float be used for? thanks
32bit float is very clever, firstly the 32bit is ridiculous dynamic detail. Like far beyond what a mix bounce should ever need but incredible for extremely dynamic recording situations. The "float" aspect is to do with the headroom and clipping without a super lengthy explanation. If you are bouncing a mix you would likely never need it, if theres dynamic issues as Mastering engineer may ask for a 32bit float to give them a better opportunity to fix an issue.
Thank you so much!
Thx for the video! When I import my stems they seem to import at 24 bit. They physically make a copy of each track within the folder. This wasn't happening when I started the project. I also checked my logic settings.
im not fully sure i follow what you say is happening sorry,
I apologize, this is a video on exporting, not importing. By chance, do you know if Logic can import beat stems at 32 bit. My beat stems are 32 bit/44.1 khz. But when I import the stems, they physically make an additional copy of themselves in my stems folder of 24 bit wav and then import themselves.
@@softlk8810 Logic does not support 32bit floating point, So its converting them to 24bit
@@Unders I read about this but was hoping there was a work around. Thanks for your help .
Can you do this with someone elses music though?
If you mean from a single track, Not very well. Theres a tool called "spleeter" or something like that.
Hi,
I have 2 important questions :
- If bouncing with all plugins attached to stems or individual tracks does it include plugins on the Master bus also?
- On kicks and snares that have parallel compression on a Bus for example. Why do the stems not have the parrel compression bus on them?
appreciate it..

No.
On kicks and snares that have parallel compression on a Bus for example. Why do the stems not have the parrel compression bus on them?
Because your bouncing the channel itself not the bus.
Stems = Buses
Multitrack = Everything Seperate & Buses
@@Unders sorry didn't see this reply until now. Thanks. WH
why on earth would someone bounce the channel of a kick drum when the buses of that kick make and enhance the sound?
@@Unders Stems=Buses , dont know what that means
@@Unders Multitrack = Everthing AND buses? or did you mean everything with the buses included on them?
@@a.d.r9066 Precicely this! Logic is far behing when it comes to exporting Stems.
Hey thanks for this video can you please explain how to export the stems at 48.000Hz?
Sample rate is linked to your project settings in file - project settings - audio
@@Unders Thank you so much mate :-)
@@EmilioMerone No worries. Thanks for watching and maybe tapping the sub button ;)
@@Unders Done of course!
This will not export sends, right? So, if I need to export a track with all the sends in it, I still have to solo that track and bounce it separately. (Or show all the sends as separate tracks in the arrangement, so they will get bounced isolated.) Also, does export include sidechaining from tracks you do not export?
I did this over 4 years ago. But I’m pretty sure it explains how to add and export the buses an sends by adding them as tracks.
Failing that here’s a newer video
ruclips.net/video/jH9uoxN8jWQ/видео.html
So stems and multitracks its the same?
No. But the process of export is. Stems are your busses. Multitrack is each channel.
Hi,is this the same as mastering stems
This would be the process to get either the multitracks audio or stems. Stem mastering is to bring those stems (SO the buses of the track) into whatever is needed for the final distribution
As of today, I suddenly can't do anything more as stereo! All instruments are mono. Do you happen to know what it could be? greetings
More than stereo? Are you trying to export surround?
@@Unders As stereo Said , sorry. All files are only transmitted as mono
@@user-wu4gc8rz3q Ahhh. on the stereo out just above the "audio FX" there will be a circle. it should be 2 circles overlapping. click it. Hopefully thats it. I cant think what else it might be.
You do know doing it this way doesn't include your buses or output processing?
it does if you include your buses in the selected exports. If your unsure how to do that heres a video on doing what you are after only - ruclips.net/video/jH9uoxN8jWQ/видео.html
Shift command and what?
A or E?
E
Thanks man!
;)
but I don't think those are stems, a stem would be exporting the bass bus or the drum bus, or vocal bus, etc, with this you just get a track of each track
Yes. The thumbnail says “export stems and multi tracks”
The process is identical. However I’ve made a separate video where I only exported Stems - ruclips.net/video/jH9uoxN8jWQ/видео.html
As people like yourself have found it confusing.
I got a problem with stem export. Every time I export my project in stems just like shown in this video, about two of the files end up in the folder and all the others end un in the bin. Those files are only 4ko heavy and can't be played. However if I try to export the stems track by track manually it works well but Jeez it takes long. Does someone have an idea of why this happens? I would LOVE some help cause its a pain in the ass.
How do you bounce to mono tracks?
Like an idiot ive been bouncing one at a time for all these years
Aw don’t put yourself down, it’s things like this you just have to find out when you need them.
If it’s helpful to you I have over 5 hours of Logic tips and tricks on Udemy which they have on sale for Black Friday here www.udemy.com/course/music-production-tricks-for-logic-pro-x/?referralCode=3EFDE0CE1865DB8E7F7C
This process is buggy as hell...Bonkers how bad Logic is at this.
I’ve never run into any issues. But I hear track stacks and plugins in the stack are an issue currently.
Unders I appreciate the reply and the video. I have already gone through the arduous process of removing or bouncing out all plugins and all bussing from my session and I always flatten my tracks once I’ve made my decisions about takes. When I export, over half of my tracks are missing and many of them are cut short or even are bounced long so they don’t line up (and yes, I have it checked to use the locator bars for the bounce). It’s crazy. Like completely unusable. I’m glad this works for other people, but unfortunately I’ve had to spend hours and hours bouncing out each individual track of this 75-track project.
Hey Sis
These are not stems, just individual audiofiles. A stem is normally a stereo file of several audiotracks bounced together like i.e all the background vocal condensed into one single stereofile. Or all the drums and percussion into one stereofile....

0:24 Exporting stems
stems aren't every track, stems are one track for each group eg 1 file for DRUMS, 1 for VOX, 1 for GUITAR etc. This video should be titled exporting tracks not stems :)
Cool 👍 it’s the same process and it have you what you were looking for 🤷♂️
@@Unders it's a different process, if you want stems you would eg solo all the drum tracks and bounce them as one file. I think it's a common misconception what stems are.
@@patritz2880 no. It’s the same process to get stem files.

Someone who offered to mix/master my stuff referred me to this video. Can I just make a couple suggestions? 1 - don't speak so fast. Is there a time limit on your videos? if not, slow it down a bit. 2 - Maybe make a "no options" version. I get distracted by the times you go to a step and then stop and say "or you can also but I..." That gets annoying for a noob such as myself. Maybe do a version WITHOUT all the "but you can also" and at the end, say "for other options, watch the longer version." Finally, when you start with "you can see I muted all the vocals," please consider that noobs such as myself are asking, "Why? You don't want vocals mixed? They can't be mixed? What's going on?" If it's a tutorial for beginners, they need things like that explained, not treated as assumptions. Otherwise, great video! lol.
👍
Thanks. But I would rather see the full Logic screen rather than the written text of your spoken voice. Just me though.
Then turn closed captions of 🤦🏻
What a derp comment to leave.
That's not stems though, it's mulit-tracks
Here is a video doing ONLY stems ruclips.net/video/jH9uoxN8jWQ/видео.html
That is not exporting stems. That‘s exporting tracks... No explanation on what happens with effects on aux tracks. Not useful.
it's the same process for stems, by selecting your AUX....👌

Tracks are not stems and stems are not tracks! A Studer A827 is not a 24 stem machine!
People confusing stems for tracks wastes so much time for experienced studio personal like me working with inexperienced home recorders who supply the incorrect format and this video is part of the problem!
All the way through this you call tracks 'stems', even during the export process where logic is clearly referring to them as tracks, but you say "now it's giving us our stem files".
Tracks are the individual files and are typically mono. Stems are collections of tracks and they used to be referred to as 'sub mixes'.

Best of luck to you and your experience.
@@Unders This video is about exporting tracks, not exporting stems. Stems are not tracks. Perhaps you might change the video title to 'how to export TRACKS'.
