Stem Mastering

Stem Mastering is typically used to reach industry standards for RMS{Root Mean Square}, which is the rating of the amount of power that can be applied for optimal loudness.

Traditional Stem Mastering was done for radio use. It would consist of a stereo mix down for reference, an instrumental track , a vocal track and sometimes an additional track with back up vocals. This was mainly done to assure the vocals would not be lost in the mix due to the heavy amount of compression that would be applied for broadcasting.

Today Stem Mastering is applied with more precision using sub-group renders, thus giving access to frequency ranges that are shared with multiple instruments. It gives the Mastering Engineer more flexibility and the ability to make changes to frequency responses before combining it back together for the final Mastering stage. Achieving a beautiful finished production with clarity and separation that stays true to your mix and will meet industry standards.
