How do you export stems for a mashup?
To export stems for a mashup, use Mixed In Key Pro to test your idea in Mashup Mode, then open the export options and choose the audio you need: full track, instrumental, or acapella.
After exporting, drag the stems into your DAW so you can finish the arrangement, edit timing, polish transitions, and mix the final mashup.
Export after you find an idea that works
It is usually better to test the idea before exporting. Mixed In Key Pro helps you audition different combinations quickly, so you do not waste time exporting every possible match.
Once the vocal, instrumental, Key, BPM, and Energy Level feel right, export the stems you need for the next stage.
Choose the right stem export
Full track
Use this when you want the complete original track as a reference or main audio layer.
Instrumental
Use this when you want the music without the vocal, especially for acapella mashups.
Acapella
Use this when you want to place a vocal over a different instrumental.
Changed-Key export
Use this when you changed the Key in Mixed In Key Pro and want to continue working with that version.
Use the export stems dialog
The export dialog lets you choose which version of the audio you want to save. You can export the full track, instrumental, or acapella depending on what your mashup needs.
Export only what you need
For a vocal-over-instrumental mashup, you may only need the acapella from one song and the instrumental from another.
Exporting only the useful parts keeps your DAW session cleaner.
Finish the mashup in your DAW
Mixed In Key Pro helps you discover and export the idea. Your DAW is where you can finish the arrangement, adjust timing, edit sections, add transitions, balance levels, and polish the final mashup.
This keeps the workflow fast: discover in Mixed In Key Pro, finish in your production software.
