Stem Creator + m1 + Monterey = Export Failed
I can't get the Stem Creator tool to export .stem files anymore on my Mac m1 with Monterey.
Is there anyway there could be an update for this tool??
I spent 6/7 years waiting for an update on Traktor so that it could read Lossless .stem files created with ALAC. Finally there was recently a fix!
For the second time I bought controllers to play with stems (I did this in 2016 but then learned about the lossless bug)... I was so happy. I made my whole setup... just bought a new laptop.. and now there is a new bug
I can't create the .stem files with stem creator tool
I tried with 24bit wav, 16bit wav, ALAC, with file names likes 1.wav, 2.wav... and I always get "Export failed"

Thank you to the both of you. I am on an Intel 16" MacBookPro running Monterey and was having the same issue. These two things: 1. Patched Software 2. Terminal Command Helped me resolve the issue.
"download the command line developer tools" was a bit confusing to me so I will try to clarify for others....
Just to clarify for anyone else, this is how it worked.
- Download and install the patched software from "rutierut" from this thread.
- Open Terminal and run the Terminal Command from "Ninesense" seen in this thread.
- Open STEM Creator Try to make a STEM. I received a failed message. But then was prompted to download and install the command line developer tools. Which I did.
- Quit STEM Creator.
- Reopened STEM Creator and created a STEM file with out any issues.
STEMS Creator is working fine for me now.
I hope this helps others.

NI told me they would fix it… and for now has to be done on windows or a Mac that is not Monterey.
You can use parallels or a free one called UTM although you have to be a little more crafty to install it. I was able to do it with some online instructions.

I just fixed it myself... I'll put a patched version online this week.. I'm not even a python programmer, I just googled the bugs and fixed them smh

Just uploading this janky af version in case I forget but you should just be able to unzip it and use it I think: https://mega.nz/file/0FR2RLRI#JbcGO8nLJ3AsMYrXUMAHr52kDgF1geJWma06waLZiVY
I don't know if python 3 comes preinstalled on the latest macos but this patched version expects it to be available as python3

Thanks a lot for this!
Looks like N.I. could have done this for their users eh? It works!!
1st I had to run the terminal command xattr -cr /Applications/stemcreator.app because it was giving me the file is damaged error.
2nd I had to download the command line developer tools
And then it worked.
I still get the same error message at the end of the export, but the file exports anyway.
The image used for metadata unfortunately doesn't apply on the file, but I use a free app called Tag Editor Free to add the image into the metadata.
It's buggy but it works, thank you!!

For some reason it works with the latest ALAC files I created a few days ago, but doesn't work with ALAC files I had 1 month ago. These same files work on the windows version... but I have no clue why.
Bit of mystery...

Ah great, thanks for leaving those instructions for the next person. I'll be mass converting some stuff so if I fix anything else I'll drop it here
