A 2-Track mixing project is a stereo-mix (contains 2 speakers, a left and a right) that contains an already bounced instrumental and stemmed out vocals (stemmed out = multiple files). The engineer will have less control over each individual element within the beat/instrumental as it is bounced into one file - however, the engineer will have complete control over the vocals. A Full-stem mixing project is a stereo-mix (contains 2 speakers, a left and a right) - this is the most common mix you see/hear. The engineer has complete control over each individual element within the stemmed out beat/instrumental - as well as the stemmed out vocals. A Mastering project is the next step after the mixing process, it’s the process of preparing and optimizing recorded audio for distribution. The goal of mastering is to ensure that the audio sounds consistent across different playback systems and to make it as loud and impactful as possible without introducing distortion or other audio artifacts. For mastering, the engineer will only need the mixed down, final version of the audio in a high-resolution format such as WAV or AIFF.A Dolby Atmos mixing project contains a 7.1 speaker setup (7 positioned speakers and 1 sub) which allows the engineer the ability to place and move sounds in a 3D environment with more precision, allowing for even more creative possibilities.
Yes, the artist would need to create an account/profile to book an engineer for their services. However, an engineer can create a booking link and send it to an artist that does not have an account. When the artist clicks ‘book’ it will prompt them to create an account/profile. An engineer can also send a booking link, of an unfunded project mix, to an artist to review. If the artist likes the mix, they click ‘book’ and are prompted to create a profile.
To upload STEMS, first, make sure all of your STEMS are exported correctly. Once your STEMS are exported, highlight all of the STEMS, right-click, and then select ‘Compress’. This will create a .zip file. Rename this file accordingly and upload this .zip file to EngineEars for your engineer to download.
STEMS are all of the individual parts of a song exported to their own track. These are used by the engineer to rebuild the song while being able to control/manipulate each sound as they see fit.
