Upload stems. Discuss. Iterate.
A place for bands to put their stems on one mixer, talk about the exact second, and decide. Free forever on the free plan.
- 1
Master comment bar. Comments about the whole song go on the blue bar under the ruler.
- 2
Track comment bar. Every stem has its own bar. Click it at the second you mean.
- 3
Takes. A track can hold several takes. This opens them; one is active.
- 4
Fader and meter. Volume from silence to +6 dB, with a stereo VU meter beside it.
- 5
Mute and solo. M takes a stem out. S leaves only the soloed stems playing.
- 6
Master. One fader for the whole mix. What you hear is what gets rendered.
The band has questions.
Every song starts the same thread. Here it is, answered once, the way it would look pinned to the timeline.
Rui Almeida0:00Drums
So I just upload my drum bounce?
Yes. Export your part from whatever you record in and drop it on a track. One stem per track. Nobody shares a project file, and nobody needs your plugins.
Inês Costa0:48Bass
Can I hear the bass against only the kick?
Solo both. The console has volume, pan, mute and solo per track, a master fader and VU meters. That is the whole mixer, on purpose. Everyone in the song sees each other's cursor while they do it.
Mara Vieira1:32Vocals, keys
I sang it twice. Which one do we keep?
Put both on the track. A track holds several takes and one is active. Switch between them while the rest of the band plays underneath, and argue about it in a thread pinned to the exact second.
Tomás Reis2:31Guitar
Can our producer hear this without making an account?
Turn on the share link and anyone who has it can listen. Or invite people by email as viewer or editor. Songs and lists are private until you decide otherwise, and a new link kills the old one.

I want to hear it in the car.
Render it. STEM bounces the active takes with the current mixer settings into one MP3. Paid plans keep every render, so you can hear how the mix moved from one week to the next; the free plan keeps one per song.
Inês Costa3:42Bass
And what does it cost?
Nothing, to start. Plans differ by how many stems you can store, and every feature is in all of them. The table is just below.
Born out of frustration. Built to end the file ping-pong.
Bands send files back and forth and struggle to decide. Online DAWs gave everyone more knobs. STEM does the opposite: it limits the options, makes everyone share full stems, and puts the commentary first.
No useless features clutter, no AI slop, no distractions.
Everything, on every plan.
You only ever pay for more stem storage. No credit card to start, cancel anytime.
