Otherwise you are correct about people (me) mixing up "stems" and "premixes". I'll try harder to be accurate.

Philip, I do not mean to chastise at all-
for this to be useful, peoples' experience is whats required- you rock. keep it up!
One thing as well for those who are unfamiliar with Post audio is the notion of track designation within a stem-
Many think only of a 5.1 or printmaster type track layout-
In film work, a stem is typically an 8 channel set of tracks-
for dialog stems it might also be typical to assign multiple tracks to the center-
in your DIA stem you might have something like-
1- DIA L
2- DIA C
3- DIA R
4- NARR
5- ADR L
6- ADR C
7- ADR R
8- PFX C
Any sort of layout is possible really, but this is something a lot of *edited to embarass Tom Hambleton* folks who might pop in would never know.
