Stems vs. Multitracks: The Best Lingo Guide for Music Producers!

Stems vs. Multitracks: The Best Lingo Guide for Music Producers!

What exactly is the difference between stems and multitrack files—and why does it matter when you're sending a session out into the world?

In this knowledge-packed episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody unravel the often-confused terms and workflows behind project sharing in modern music production.

Whether you're a solo artist collaborating across the globe, a producer prepping tracks for a mix engineer, or someone just trying not to embarrass yourself on a licensing call—this episode helps you sound like you actually know what you're talking about.

Learn:

  • The difference between stems and multitracks (finally).
  • Why clarity matters when you're collaborating or outsourcing.
  • What people really mean when they say "send me the stems."
  • The right time to export, organize, and communicate project files.
  • How using the wrong term might derail your mix—or your reputation.

And of course, expect the usual helping of nonsense, some studio banter, and a few Friday Finds worth checking out.

So if you’ve ever hesitated mid-email wondering "Wait… is this a stem or a multitrack?" — this episode is for you.
