OK, I got somewhere now. Different behavior with this method. First it took quite some time for the waveform to appear. I didn't expect that, but it eventually showed up. At first I thought the method was not working. Then everything went according to your instructions, BUT the prefix for the stems was not used and during playback which was successful from the programed 1st bar, all the other style instruments started playing even though there was an "x" indicating that the style was turned off. This had not happened before. So I just muted all of those. And then I noticed that in my previous splits with the "start of the music problem", BB would create stems and store each one in the original folder for the project, but this time did not save out any stems at least in that location. I then "saved" the song again and those stems then showed up in the folder as wav files but not labelled as usual with the name of the stem part like Bass, vocal, etc. just Hey Joe #1, Hey Joe #2... Odd that the prefix was not used and the names of the stems were so generic. The stem tracks are labelled in the BB mixer as the correct instrument and the name "stem"

Any thoughts? (hey, though making progress here!!)
