Cori Rain mixer.

Kick: −10 dBFS. Snare: similar. Together: ≤ −8 dBFS. Vocal and bass sit just below them. From bass onward, the combined bus stays ≤ −7 dBFS. Optional cowbell is the loudest individual stem; bus headroom still applies.

Import separate, time-aligned stems that start at the same song position. Confirm each role and set instrument priority (1 = most important). All imports start muted.

Up to 12 mono or stereo stems, 5 minutes each. Files stay in this browser session. Stereo balance is preserved; pitch and tempo stay unchanged. This mixer needs stems; it does not separate a finished song.

Import your stems, then bring in the kick.

Targets are measured sample peaks, not perceived loudness. Preparation measures the entire summed mix and applies uniform attenuation only when needed to keep headroom, preserving drum transients. It may lower the final kick below −10 dBFS. This is a premix, not a loudness master or true-peak limiter. Audition the vocal and melody balance before mastering.
