    All I could do so far is exporting a file. None of the youtube tutorials show how to split into stems (they show already splitted audio). Can you explain or do you know a good youtube video?

    Protools sucks ass. And you don't just "split into stems". You can only arrange existing stems into creating a song, and then export them.

    but its file-relinking function also sucks ass. you are literally pointing it to where the files are and it still won't read them. I've had to recreate several sessions from scratch on my own because the stupid session file was too old/unreadable by my PT version.

    it was a nightmare. imagine having to rearrange 300+ tiny WAV files manually. thankfully my familiarity with the song helped, but took me weeks.

    Have a look at this mofo lol, imagine putting this thing together from scratch. And those are just the main folder, about 240 pieces. There's also 100+ "fade" pieces that go at the very end of other pieces.

    so my advice: if you only need to compile stems, use a simpler DAW. I prefer Mixcraft Pro Studio. has a great file-linking feature.
