I don't know that there's a way to control their order when importing, but in the song view, if you use the gear icon in the upper right corner, in that view, you should be able to drag them into the order you want them in.
Thanks for the reply - yes, I’d already found how to do it within stadium but was hoping for a simpler way when they imported. DI has said that at some point we’ll be able to rename the 8 stem mixer channels per song - when that happens, the order only really matters for a person’s ocd but, other than that, consistency of the order becomes less important.
I think a lot of the problem here is how I’m using it. If anyone more experience with Moises wants to chime in and say ‘why are you doing it that way? You’re over complicating it and here’s what you’re missing’
The basic version of Moises does drums, bass, vocals, other. If you’re doing that it’s pretty simple….name your mixer channels to those four things and you’re all good for the import.
I’ve got the pro version - as well as the above categories, you get guitar 1, guitar 2, piano, keys, several other things, ability to split drums, a smart metronome…… So you choose what’s appropriate for the song but that means, in some songs, mixer channel 5 will be piano and in some it will be lead guitar. If I import to a clean project in my DAW (studio one in my case) then tweak the metronome, it buggers up the track order when exporting simply because Windows loves the alphabet (bass is first then drums the guitar etc)
My current workaround is that I’ve made a template in studio one where I name the stems with a number up front.
1. Drums
2. Bass
Etc
I export from Moises - the stems are labelled in a sensible enough way to allow me to drag to the appropriate channels within Studio One.
If the song in question needs a count in, I make it in studio one using SD3. For sure I could just cut the smart metronome track down appropriately but its sound isn’t to my liking. Yes, I know I can do count ins etc within Showcase but I still like having that track there ‘if needed’. I can always kill it in the mixer and use the showcase metronome if there’s a reason to but this seems easier to me right now. Happy to be educated otherwise :)
When I then export the stems, they’re labelled with 1, 2, 3, etc. Windows keeps the order and so does Stadium XL when I import them.
There’s probably a more elegant solution but this is working for now :). On my ‘to do’ list later is to now learn how to use the events within showcase to change patches.
