but what do I know

Me too!

Not this is really the point of the thread - but as an aside - in 99% of all situations that I've had the option to go to stems during a mastering session - I've not needed them. Film work and anything going to a surround format is a totally different thing - but when it comes to CD work or interent audio prep - I've found them to be, on the whole, a waste of MOST people's time. SOME times - they will save your A** - MOST of the time - they'll sit unused on your hard drive - assuming your ME is worth his/her salt to begin with--S
