Ever bounced or received stems that just aren't right?

These errors slip through every day — and they cost you time, money, and reputation.

Length Mismatch

Stems aren't all the same length — mismatched lengths highlight stems exported from different start points.

Trusted by Audio Professionals

Join hundreds of engineers who've streamlined their workflow.

As a mix engineer, I send stems out to various people—Atmos mixers, mastering engineers, deliverables for labels, remixes—and now Stem Checker has become part of my process. It's so simple and quick to use loading straight from the Finder, and it saves so much time.

Mix Engineer

Love this app! It has already saved me so much time as I can quickly check everything's been exported correctly and ready to go. Prevented so much back and forth — absolute time saver!!

Dan Vinci

Record Producer

Managing stems used to turn me into 90% detective and only 10% mixer. Now I can actually focus on the creative work instead of hunting down alignment issues and missing files.

M

Marcus

Mix Engineer

It flagged a stem that was slightly shorter than the rest—something I normally wouldn't notice until I'm already mid-session. That alone has saved me from so many awkward client calls.

Sarah

Post-Production Supervisor

Being able to check multitracks and stems without reopening my DAW is genuinely so nice. No more dragging files back into Pro Tools just to double check things are correct before sending.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Stem Checker.

With Stem Checker, simply drag and drop your stem files into the app or use the file picker. The app instantly analyzes all stems for common issues like length mismatches, dual-mono exports, clipping, and sample rate inconsistencies. You can play back all stems in sync, solo or mute individual tracks, and visually inspect waveforms - all without opening a DAW. Any detected issues appear in the Issues Panel with one-click fixes where applicable.

Stem Checker supports all major audio formats including WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC, and AAC. We recommend using lossless formats (WAV/AIFF) for professional stem checking.

No hard limits! Our streaming architecture processes files of any size without loading them entirely into memory. You can check as many stems as you need in a single session.

Our algorithm analyzes the audio data across channels to detect when left and right channels contain identical content. This helps identify mono files that were incorrectly exported as stereo, which wastes file space and can cause issues with panning and stereo processing.

Yes! We have native Dropbox integration, allowing you to import and export stems directly from your Dropbox folders.

Stem Checker is free to download and includes two free sessions with all features. After that, choose $3.99/month (your first month is free) or a $29.99 one-time lifetime purchase. You can cancel the monthly subscription anytime.

Yes — every download includes two free sessions with access to all features, no credit card required. If you then choose the monthly plan, your first month is free.

In Stem Checker, the built-in A/B comparison tool lets you compare your stems against a reference mix. This makes it easy to identify missing parts, level differences, or export mistakes before sending files to clients, labels, or mastering engineers.
