So with stem mixing you treat all the guitars in the mix as one guitar and use that to mix with?

You got it it man, all the panning, reverbs and everything you use to flavour the guitars was done back at the initial mix when we had individual control over everything.Originally Posted by keloooe
With the stem mix I'm affecting all the guitars at once. The aim is not to alter the sound too much, after all you've got the sound you want at mixdown, the aim with the stems is just to clean the sound up and enhance it.
You can see in the pic the plugins I've used on the guitars (I named it 'Drumless mix') in the stem mix.
Ozone - was used purely for it's mid/side eq's to clean up any unwanted mid/side information (definitely my favorite plugin by far)
Bittersweet - was used to take out any rogue transients in the guitar mix
Ignore the 'Filter' and the 'Flanger', they were just automated to come in for a short section leading into the 2nd verse
Ferox - was used to give a subtle tape saturation to the guitar sound
