CTO CUBASE STEM LIMITING TEMPLATE

What's inside?

This template is a very simple tool for these moments when you need to deliver your track master and stems and want to make sure that the sum of your stems equal your stereo master 100%. 

The whole template is a simple drag 'n drop solution. You can import up to 16 stems and print your stereo master and stems simultaneously. 

I would recommend to export your (unmastered) stems at roughly -6 to -3dB peak level and import the audio into this template for the final print.

More info in the video below.

This template uses Fabfilter Pro L2 (mandatory) and Waves L1 limiter (could technically be replaced with any other limiter). The combination of these 2 plugins is what has given me the best results in delivering a proper stem limiting.
