How to Export Stems from Studio One for AI-Assisted Mixing

Studio One has a dedicated stem export feature, which makes the mechanics simple — but there's one distinction inside it that changes what actually ends up in your exported files.

Tracks tab vs. Channels tab

Go to Song → Export Stems to open the dialog. Inside it, you'll find two tabs:

• Tracks reflects what's in the Arrange view — the raw audio and MIDI-triggered parts as they sit in your timeline.
• Channels reflects the Console — the mixer channels, which is where inserts, sends and routing live.

Both exported Tracks and Channels include insert effects by default. If you want dry, unprocessed stems for maximum flexibility downstream, that needs to be a deliberate choice inside the export settings rather than an assumption — check what's printed before you rely on the export being "clean."

Exporting a stem set

1. Open Song → Export Stems.
2. Choose the Tracks tab for raw arrangement content, or Channels for the console's mixed/processed signal path — pick based on whether you want each stem dry or already carrying its channel processing.
3. Check the box next to every track or channel you want included; anything left unchecked is skipped, not silenced-but-present, so double-check your list against the full song before exporting.
4. Set a consistent bit depth and sample rate for the whole batch, and confirm the export range covers the entire song — a partial range is the most common reason a stem doesn't line up once it's imported elsewhere.

Bringing Studio One stems into MixingMusic

Once you have a full, consistent set of exported files, MixingMusic's stem mixer accepts up to 12 stems, suggests a genre preset to start from, and gives you EQ, compression and reverb per stem before a mastering pass. This is a file-based workflow — export from Studio One, upload the result — with no plugin or account bridge between the two products.

If the Studio One song is already a finished, balanced mix, exporting the master bounce and mastering it directly is the more direct path.
