Stems is not a audio format. Its simply separate bounced channels.
Link does not work for me. But alot of people including me are working this way. It opens up possibillitys and make it much more interactive. Its real fun to play with.
How i do my sets now is i divide my channels into 4 stems. k n B, Perc´s, Synths and atmos. The reason i take atmos seperately is cause i sometimes make them live, but you can set it up how ever you want. For my style of music it doesent work well with trigger clips on the fly, so i just have the chunks of the stems, but with triggering clips live you can do some cool very interactive stuff.
Further, i route the channels through a dummyclip fx channel which i trigger from a launchpad. I also set up some sends/returns to further be able to mess with the seperate channels.
For me i had abit of problem at first knowing how to setup my liveset, but just experiment around and checking how other people do theirs to get some ideas of the possibillitys and ways to structure it.

Ditto.
After arranging all my tunes in this way and setting them up in a single set (making sure the gain between tunes is uniform), all is ready to actually play and mangle them live (using an APC40 in my case). On top of this, the sky is the limit.. so setting up effects on each channel, setting up sends, master effects connected to the APC or other external midi controller, plus a midi keyboard to play on the fly (with a pedal to trigger scenes "hands-free"), an external synth to have that hands on feel with a sequencer into a distortion unit (acid leads 4-da-win), electric guitar and electric bass (more for chill-out situations  - I ain't Hilight Tribe yet  ) jacked into a pedalboard and an amp, mics all over the place..
You just need to take into account you cant do it all live and keep it highly detailed.. much must be rehearsed and planned before-hand - but if you start with your already-finished tunes and start breaking them up with a "live-way of thinking" (as opposite from the "track-based" approach used to make an actual track), then you can play your own tunes live and mess with them and still bring on all that live-organic that comes from reading n audience and delivering on the spot.. there's nothing like the magic of actually performing music (other than the highly difficult and only for the best of the best of "pressing the space-bar, bounce up and down for 60 minutes while twisting dummy knobs")
