What It Does

🔍

Full Stem Analysis

Sample rate, bit depth, channel count, duration, file format. Every stem, one scan, every problem surfaced.

🔊

Audio Detection

Spots silence, clipping, glitches, clicks, and pops. The stuff your ears miss at 2am when you just want to hit send.

🎚️

Playback Engine

Audition all your stems with solo, mute, and volume control. No need to open a DAW just to double-check a delivery.

🔀

A/B Mix Comparison

Flip between your stems and a reference mix. Confirm that what you're sending actually matches what you approved.

Pass / Warn / Fail

A clear verdict for every scan. Green means ship it, yellow means take a look, red means stop and fix.

🔒

Stays on Your Machine

No internet required after activation. No tracking. No cloud. Your audio never leaves your computer.

What It Doesn't Do

We'd rather you know this before you buy than find out after. Smrt Stem is great at what it does, and honest about what it doesn't.

🔇

Stereo and mono only

Smrt Stem does not handle surround or Dolby Atmos stems. It's built for standard stereo and mono deliveries. If your workflow is surround-heavy, this isn't the tool for that (yet).

🎯

Detection is good, not perfect

The click and glitch detection catches the vast majority of issues, but it can occasionally miss something subtle or flag a false positive on complex transient material. It's a safety net, not a replacement for your ears on a final listen.

🎛️

Built for stems, not full mixes

You can scan a full mix through it, and it will catch clipping, silence, and format issues just fine. But the detection algorithms are tuned for individual stems. Dense full mixes can produce noisier results.

🍎

macOS only (for now)

Windows is on the roadmap, but it's not here yet. If you're on a PC, hang tight or drop us a line so we know there's demand.

📁

One folder at a time

Smrt Stem scans one folder of stems per session. There's no batch queue for processing multiple projects back-to-back automatically. Drag, scan, review, repeat.

How It Works

1

Drag in your stems folder

Point Smrt Stem at a folder of audio files. It reads WAV, AIFF, FLAC, and MP3.

2

Hit scan

Smrt Stem analyzes every file for format issues, audio problems, and consistency across stems.

3

Get your verdict

Pass, warn, or fail. If something's wrong, you'll know exactly what and where.

4

Ship it

Fix what needs fixing, confirm with the playback engine, and send your stems with confidence.

Questions

Is there a free trial?

Yes. 14 days, fully functional, nothing held back. If it earns a spot in your workflow, buy it. If not, it quietly expires.

What do I get when I buy?

A license key that works on up to 2 machines. One purchase, yours forever. No subscriptions, no annual renewals, no upgrade fees.

Can I get a refund?

Absolutely. Email me, tell me what went wrong, and I'll send your money back. Simple as that.

Does it work on Windows?

Not yet. macOS only for now. Windows is on the list.

What if I need more than 2 machines?

Need more than 2 machines? Email hello@s2pdaudio.com and I'll sort out an extra license for you.

Does it phone home?

Once, when you activate your license key. After that, fully offline. Zero telemetry, zero analytics.

Who made this?

A working composer who got tired of sending bad stems at midnight. More about S2pd.
