Step 01
Choose three parts and one context
Start a new Stem Mode session and select Guitar, Bass and Drum. Set eight bars, 92 BPM and 4/4 to follow the lesson’s example.
Give the parts a shared key and chord progression when those matter to your arrangement. The length, tempo and harmony provide a common frame for the stems.
Step 02
Describe the balance you want
The video puts Guitar and Bass in front, with a soft Drum part underneath. Describe the overall feel first, then name the role of each part so the musical direction is easy to follow.
Each stem is generated independently within that context. Listen for how the parts fit together; shared settings do not guarantee note-for-note interaction between them.
Step 03
Listen separately before combining
Generate the trio and audition the Guitar, then Bass and Drum. Listen for the guitar’s phrasing, the bass’s movement and how much space the drum part leaves.
If a part feels too busy or too prominent, refine that part’s direction. Keeping the rest of the brief steady makes it easier to judge the change.
Step 04
Export the stems and hear the balance
Download the individual WAVs. The trio mix heard in the video is made from those exported files.
When you bring the stems into your own arrangement, check their entrances and balance together. Keep the separate files so you can adjust the level of each part as the piece develops.
Try it yourself.
A relaxed guitar, bass and drum trio. Keep Guitar and Bass in front, with soft drums underneath.
Select the three parts and set eight bars, 92 BPM and 4/4 in the controls. Adapt the shared harmony to your piece.
