In einem Vertrag werden die Liefergegenstände einer Filmproduktion spezifiziert:

"Stems
The separate 35mm negative dialogue sound effects and ****music stems*** used to manufacture each Stereo Print Master fully conformed to match the final version of the applicable Stereo Print Master...."

Kein weiterer Verweis, kein weiterer Text, der Klarheit in die Sache bringen würde...

Summensignal
Explanation:
Mit Stems oder Stem-Mixes (Summensignale) bezeichnet man Submischungen von verschiedenen Instrumentengruppen (z. Bsp. Drums, Guitar, Keys etc.) oder in der Filmvertonung von Geräuschen, Dialog und Musik.
Im finalen Stereo- oder Surround-Mixdown kann dann das Mischverhältnis zwischen diesen einzelnen Summensignalen angepasst werden, was sehr viel einfacher ist, als wenn immer alle Einzelsignale nachgeregelt werden müssen.

Während dem Mastering kann so der Gesamtsound eines Tracks flexibler und u.U. noch entscheidend angepasst werden.

Gelegentlich wird für dieses Vorgehen auch der Begriff "Mastering with Seperations" verwendet. (http://www.trackmastering.ch/faq.html#Stem-Mix)

In audio/video/film production a stem is a group of audio information, not unlike a submix. In fact they are often created using subgroups from a mixer in just the same way as a submix. In film and some video production many different stems are put together during the final stages of mixing (mixdown) to form the final soundtrack. Stems may include foley tracks, music tracks, sound effects tracks, dialog, location sound, etc. Each of these stems is a submix of dozens of individual components each carefully and often individually prepared to enhance the overall experience of the film. Nowadays individual stems are often prepared in full 5.1 or 7.1 surround, which means that "a stem" may actually be comprised of as many as eight separate channels/tracks of information.

agree  Dirk Wittke: Ja, wobei der Tontechniker, den ich gerade zufällig an der Leitung hatte, eher von "Stem-Mixes" als von "Summensignalen" (alles, wo min. 2 Signalwege zusammengeführt wurden) sprechen würde. "Gruppensignale" (mehrere Summensignale) gäbe es auch noch.

  -> Danke Dirk. Beim Mastering scheint mir Summensignal gebräuchlicher zu sein (Google).
