A new Mac application is here to streamline your music production workflow. It’ll come as no surprise that Stem Checker does exactly what it says on the tin; the app comes as a quick, easy way to check stems and multitracks outside of your DAW.

Rather than having to load your stems back into your DAW for simple checks, Stem Checker is able to do the tedious grunt work for you. The detects and flag problems that can easily fly under the radar, catching all errors like alignment mismatch, missing audio, clipping, sample rate issues and more.

It’s not going to distort or mess with your stems – it’s just going to highlight any red flags. Think duplicate files, missing audio, mismatched metadata and trying to make sense of ambiguously named tracks.

Again, the app focuses on operating outside of your DAW, allowing you to save time and avoid loading each stem up to check if everything is peachy. It’s a smart, essential tool for keeping organised, while also giving you the confidence that the odd digital over wont distort any signals in your final mix.

To use the app, it’s as simple as dropping your files (the app supports WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC, and AAC) into Stem Checker. Then, the app automatically analyses the stems, providing you with instant waveform rendering to scan through. Once it’s certain there are no issues, you’re good to go – and, of course, if an issue is at hand, that’s when you can begin working things out.

If there is an issue, the app will show it on the Issues Panel – and a few problems can even be fixed via the app with just a single click.

Stem Checker is available to download now from the App Store with a 30 day free trial. After, it costs £3.99 a month or £29.99 year to access its full features. For more information, head to Stem Checker.
