importing stems
importing stems
I have no experience with stems so a newb question:
what's the proper way to import/place stems in session view that are designated Left and Right? (for remixing)
like:
synth L
synth R
drums L
drums R
each part should be on one stereo clip but they're separate L and R wav files so my question.

or you could 'render' it to a stereo wave...then drag it back..Pitch Black wrote:
Click the io button on the far right hand side to show Inputs and Outputs, then select Resampling from the drop-down menu.
Now if you record on this track, you will record whatever is playing out of Live's master out.
saves a couple of minutes....

shit i've never noticed that option before... thats what you get for buying a download and never ordering the manual !Pitch Black wrote:I would bring the L and R stems into the Arrange View first, pan them L and R, then bounce/record them into a Session View slot. (Set the recording track's input to Resampling)

LOL, I got the manual, heard it mentioned before but didn't know where it was! Now I do without even cracking the manual! Nice! But as someone already posted wouldn't that take longer than just bouncing it to another track?

That's just the way they were in the original recording DAW. Maybe there was some extra silence somewhere that got cropped, and now you're gonna have to just line it up yourself. Sorry dude. That type of thing happens a lot, so unless you're opening up an actual live set, or cubase or protools or cakewalk, inside said programs, where everything is EXACTLY as it was before mix down, you're just gonna have to fiddle with it.

The tradditional way to get around this is to bounce all stems out with exactly the same starting point - usually Bar 1.1.1.1 - You might have lots of "dead air" on the front of some parts, but once they are lined up in the new DAW you can chop the silent bits out of the Arrangement (and re-save as new files if you want to get back the disk space)
