Glossary
stem (audio term)
A type of submix, the contents of which need to be specified in detail from project to project. Stems are often supplied as the basis for overdubs or for mixes.
“I ran the tracks, the music stops, the dead rat takes a solo. Nothing happens. I turn around and say to my assistant, ‘You a**hole, get out there and put the mic in the right place. About four inches up and a little to the left.’”- Jack Douglas
