How to Download Stems for your AudioStack Asset

In this example, we'll create an audio asset using the API containing text-to-speech, atmospheric sound effects and a sound template from the AudioStack library. We'll then include stem download as one of our export settings, so that the stems are saved in a Zip file in the directory where our code is saved.

First, copy and paste the following code into your development environment.

Never worked with AudioStack's python SDK before?

No problem - make sure you get started with our easy set up guide before following this tutorial.

import audiostack
import os

audiostack.api_key = "API KEY"

ScriptText = """ 
<as:section name="intro" soundSegment="intro">
Check out this new feature from AudioStack. You can now easily export your audio files' stems.
</as:section>
<as:section name="main" soundSegment="main">
This will make it easier than ever to pass on assets created to your creative team, to apply the final touches.
</as:section>
"""

print("Creating script")
script = audiostack.Content.Script.create(
    scriptText=ScriptText
)

print("Generating speech")
speech = audiostack.Speech.TTS.create(scriptItem=script, voice="clementine")

print("Mixing and mastering")
mix = audiostack.Production.Mix.create(
    speechItem=speech,
    soundTemplate="visible",
    masteringPreset="balanced",
    exportSettings={"stems": True},
    sections={
    "intro": {"atmosphere": "boxing_round_start"}
    }
)

print(mix.data)
mix.download()

As always, make sure you replace the API key text in Line 4 with your own API key.

Now, run the code. The data printed in the terminal should include the following message:

{'statusCode': 201, 'message': 'stems export'}

Open the folder that your code is running in using the Finder (or File Explorer if you're on Windows). You should now see a Zip file called "Stems", which you'll be able to unzip to access your project's stems. ✅

👍

You've successfully exported your stems.

These are in WAV format so are easily importable into all common DAWs.
