What would be the best way to handle a particular scenario with stems?
I need the stems (guitars, synths etc) to equal the final stereo mix, so I can’t put processing on the master bus (library music ).
Instead:
-
I need to pull the stems into Wavelab and put processing on those stems, so that they match up with proper metering (LUFS, etc.) when combined.
-
I need to be able to export each of the processed stems individually.
-
I want to make a template having that processing on it for future projects (even though there will be tweaking).
-
I also have alt versions (bed mix, drums only, etc) AND cut downs (10 sec, 30 seconds, etc).
-
Would it be easier to do the cut downs in a DAW or Wavelab?
-
Should I have each of those in a separate project or all in the same project (if so, what would be the best way?)
-
I need to then export the final stereo mix from those stems.
-
Plus Metadata on every file.
What would be the best way to handle all of this? Tracks, Lanes, etc.
I’ve owned Wavelab Pro for a while now but instead have been doing this in the DAW due to familiarity, but thought it may be beneficial to do in Wavelab once I get more familiar when I update to 11. Or is it just simpler in a DAW?
Thank you!
