Noob question - how to get stems out of AUM
Trying to use AUM more but can’t get out of the habit of finishing off a project in a linear DAW (in my case, Protools on a desktop). I’m using Xequence and AUM to write but can’t figure out how to get a set of stems out of AUM that all start at the same time. Am I being thick?
Comments
All you should need to do is enable Link and Link Start/Stop in both Xequence 2 and AUM. Then arm all the tracks you want to record in AUM and press REC in AUM. Xequence 2 and AUM should start at the next bar. When done, press stop in AUM.
It helps if you save the AUM session with a meaningful name before you do the recording, that way all the stems end up in a folder with the name of the session + the track name.
(Going from memory here. Apologies in advance if I've misremembered.)
@swarmboy : don’t know if this will help, but this is what I do for the audio, not the midi:
1) Save your current session in AUM with a unique name to make finding the folder with all the stems in it easier to find afterwards, (it will default to the date, I usually add in a name at the front of this.)
2) Use the ‘Sync Quantum’ settings at the side in AUM to give you a count in, if required and a ‘perfect loop’ size - if you are exporting the stems, it doesn’t really matter what you pick here, as they can be trimmed later, I usually set it for 4 bars.
3) ‘Record Enable’ all the channels you want to export at the bottom of the Channel strips.
4) Hit the main Record button in the transport strip at the top of AUM. After the count in, all channels will begin recording simultaneously in sync.
5) If you want, do any ‘live performance’ fx tweaking, levels, channel muting and what not with the recording running.
6) At your leisure, at any point during during the last four bars, hit the main Record button in the top transport again - at the conclusion of the final four bars, the recording on all the rec enabled channels will cease simultaneously, in sync, though the playback will continue until you hit stop.
If you aren’t bothered about fx tails at the end of the piece, you can now go to AudioShare, find the folder with your stems, enable the WebDAV server button, (the blue WiFi button bottom left) open a browser on your PC or Mac, path to the http address the WebDAV server button shows you when you turn it on, then upload the stems to your computer, and drag them into your DAW.
Alternatively, on Mac at least, you can plug the iPad directly into it, and in the Mac Finder window for the IPad scoot along to the ‘Files’ tab, (it took me ages to realise that Files is ‘off screen’ to the right in the Finder window) then just drag and drop the stems directly onto your desktop.
If you want to capture fx tails, like reverb from the original AUM performance you will need to record all the channels into an IOS DAW, and do your exporting from there. I use the very excellent and cheap Audio Evolution for this. Just open the IOS DAW, set your AUM output channels individually to IAA 1, 2, 3 etc and create the corresponding channels in the DAW, selecting Kymatica 1, 2, 3 etc to correspond. I don’t worry about syncing the DAW, just set it running in record, hop back to AUM, and hit play. At the end of the piece, I can stop the AUM performance but let the tails ring out as long as I want before hitting stop in the DAW. I can then trim off the silence at the start before exporting the stems from the DAW instead of AUM.
Hope that helps!
thank you so much, both. will give this a go.
@Svetlovska This was very useful and timely for me. I was hoping to be in a studio over the coming week with a friend, but that can’t happen so we need to send stems back and forward. This will be my first AUM originated collaboration and your instructions made the process very straightforward. Thank you (and to @swarmboy for asking the question).
I went AUM>AudioShare>Dropbox>share link by email, but otherwise as you described.
Glad I could help
