Having a competent studio at home is now a viable option for most producers, but mixing that final 10% can often require serious investment in monitoring, acoustic treatment and the best plugins and hardware available. That’s why Stem Mixing – bouncing key parts of your track to a mono or stereo audio ‘stem’ – is becoming more and more popular.
Producer and engineer Rob Rox (Lupe Fiasco, Banks, Munk) has created a brand new three-part series exclusively for pointblank looking at how to approach mixing from stems. You can watch the first part above and make sure you subscribe to pointblank’s YouTube channel so you don’t miss parts two and three.
