Simpler Stems | New in Cubase 11

Printing stems is made much faster and more reliable in Cubase 11 Pro, one of the workflow improvements that makes Cubase the leading professional audio recording software. Working with stems is necessary at some point when using a DAW, for example when exporting a song for mastering or a remix, for film or television work or perhaps sound design for sample libraries. Creating stems is not a creative task, so one of the key new features in Cubase helps you to get it done quickly and efficiently. Exporting some tracks in a song is made much faster, with or without effects, cues, etc, while the enhanced export function in Cubase lets you collect a range of different export jobs in a queue and export them all in one go.

"..but it doesn't stop there. Now with the new export audio mixdown we can have jobs." Finally, I was so looking forward to having jobs!

[RoryChenoweth]

Stemming with master bus fx is going to save me so much time!! Thankyou Cubase!

[MixdbyMark]

This is amazing, as a mix engineer who needs to bounce mixed stems for clients, this is a game-changer .

[RamonRodgers]

Good God Thank you!!!! I've been begging for this for a decade!

[GreyWind]

Mine doesn't export at same time, it just says "pending" and export one by one??!

[pouyanikpour]

wow I like the Midi editor on the score editing page also It 's super time saver to export stems with many creative options.thanks Cubase

[VEMMBand]

Hello, you can now export mono and stereo tracks at the same time?

[LocaliLLocano]

Holy smokes. This feature alone is worth the 99 dollar upgrade from 10.5. Especially for people who like to work with outboard gear. This is a Godsend

[jaikumarsivalingam]

Hello Team,
01. Is there a way to export individual cues with cue markers, so that the mix engineer can use the spot mode on protools to sync the file to the exact location?
02. While exporting stems with cycle markers, does the smpte timecode gets added to the wave files(stems)?
This saves a huge space on HDD while working on film scoring projects.

[MichaelKobrin]

What is the name of the track in the beginning?

I've been using Cubase artist for twelve years and I just recently upgraded to Pro. I have to say that I've been missing out in a huge way! Thanks for the awesome video dude.. Definitely subcribed for more info...

[EsaiaRED]

Wonderful improvement in my efficiency coming up ! Thanks Steinberg!

[jhagley]

this is worth the upgrade price alone! FINALLY

[MuriloRomeraSound]

Awesome! Very similar to the export options available in Nuendo.

[J.Livermore]

..but what if I have mostly Rack Instruments?. I attempted your suggestions and it does not work with Rack instruments. Any suggestions?. thank you.

While all this is a fantastic update, I feel there is something lacking, at least for me. I work on very tight deadlines and hardly ever work by sending all tracks of a section (ie drums, brass, strings) to a single mix bus. I only organize them in folders within the main window. I thought I would be able to simple select a folder (brass folder for instance) in my main window and add it to the queue to export as one file, but this doesn't seem to be the case. It does not register clicking on folders, and instead you have to select all the tracks you wish to export. But unfortunately even then, it still ONLY will export EACH TRACK individually. So if I have 10 tracks in my brass folder and just want to export a brass stem, if I haven't sent them to a bus, it's going to export 10 separate files. Which is definitely NOT helpful. So in order to really utilize this function of exporting stems quickly, I have to add buses to all the groups of tracks I plan on making into stems, which often reaches 20ish groups. So even though in the end the time to do all of this would still be shorter, it becomes a big hassle if you do not work with group channels.

I'd also like to point out that when you add a job to the queue, you don't get the option to name it something specific and just have that file named saved to the job/file export. This seems like an easy thing to add in. It's automatically naming my files things like 0000-Horns 2 and things like that. And I'm going to have to go back in and rename all these files for delivery, as nobody working professionally will accept messy file names that they don't understand.

With these 2 problems combined, it makes this function feel almost not worth using. Don't know if anybody from Steinberg reads these comments but it'd be great to get a response. Otherwise it is a great update with lots of great things.

[WilliamMorrisMusic]

Awesome! This will be a real time saver for me.

Hey, when you export DRY stems in Cubase, will that also bypass any volume or panning? or Do we have to manually bypass those?
