You are correct. It's best and easiest to open/import the audio file using the Stems Splitter. I didn't properly explain to you the reason I mentioned opening/importing the audio file is because I didn't know if you were working with the audio file before you used the Stems Splitter to create the stems.

It's unnecessary to use the Audio Edit Window method unless you have cause to work on the file before splitting it.

Using the Audio Chord Wizard on the Master Stem Track will set the first Bar and the Stems Splitter program will align the stems with the Master Stems track tempo map created from ACW.

EDIT: An exception to the above is when using the Stems Splitter or the ACW and you're having issues correctly getting Bar 1 set. In that situation, it's beneficial to unclick the ACW button, which disables the ACW and engages the AEW. With the AEW active, put the curser at the correct bar 1 and the audio waveform moves into the adjusted new Bar 1, then re-engage the ACW button, making it the active window again. This makes a visual change of the realignment of the waveform that I find helpful.

A tip to how I open the Stems Splitter is I use the shortcut - Type Stems into any measure on the Chord Sheet and the Stems Splitter instantly opens. In my case when I'll be working with a file and Stems Splitter, I open a New project and type Stems into a measure and I'm instantly ready to choose my file and use the program.
