Hypersamples has released StemWrapper 0.97 Beta, a standalone application that combines individual tracks exported from a DAW into stems and alternative mixes. Designed for composers working in production music, it brings track grouping, stem summing, automatic background noise cleanup, level adjustment, rule-based file naming and delivery verification into one application for a fast, smooth stem delivery workflow.

Streamlined Workflow for Stem Delivery

StemWrapper lets composers combine and mix multiple tracks into stems and set up alternative mixes in seconds. Tracks can be assigned automatically through name matching and optional keywords, or grouped manually. Alternative mixes are created by excluding selected stems, such as vocals or percussion. Optional automatic cleanup reduces background noise in inactive sections of each source track before summing. This helps prevent noise from building up across the mix.

Uncertain matches are flagged for review. Users can audition each track individually or as part of its stem. The application includes reusable delivery presets. These save stem lists, optional matching keywords and file naming conventions for different publishers or projects.

Key Features

• Reusable delivery presets for different publishers or projects
• True-peak level adjustment to preserve balance between stems
• Alternative mixes with selected stems omitted
• Rule-based file naming with preview
• Optional source-track cleanup for inactive sections
• Multiple-cue processing with separate output folders
• Delivery verification by recombining stems and comparing
• Export reports and auditioning with waveform displays

Pricing and Availability

StemWrapper is available now at a launch price of €47.20 / $55.20, 20% off the regular price of €59 / $69. A fully functional 30-day trial is available with unrestricted features and full-quality exports. The application runs on Windows 10 or later and macOS 11 Big Sur or later, supporting Apple Silicon and Intel. It supports WAV, AIFF and FLAC formats up to 32-bit float and 192 kHz.

In addition, the tool offers delivery verification. This feature recombines the exported stems and compares them with the delivered mix, reporting the residual in decibels. Export reports and auditioning allow review of file levels, formats, durations and sizes. The built-in player provides waveform and spectrogram displays.

Moreover, the multiple-cue processing prepares deliveries for several cues, each with its own output folder, report and reconstruction check. This makes StemWrapper a comprehensive solution for composers who need to deliver stems efficiently.

Overall, StemWrapper addresses a specific need in production music. Its combination of automation and verification tools could save time for many composers. However, as a beta version, users should expect potential issues. The trial version allows testing before purchase.
