Also, it appears in another instance as: Undipped for narration.

This is about movie-making and sound mixing, stereo/mono, narration and the like.

Thanks for any help.

Aquí encontré una explicación bastante clara de lo que es un "undipped stem":

"Dipped and Undipped Stems

It’s common for music volume to dip down during dialog to make sure that the dialog is audible. This is dipping, or ducking.

Audio Spec Sheet - Dipping or ducking Dip ped: the volume level of the music dips down whenever there is dialog.

When a network asks for dipped stems, they just want the individual audio stems to be at the level that makes up the full mix. This means that if you simply mix the dialog, narration, sound effects, and music stems together at 0 (no level change) it should sound exactly like your full mix.

Since it takes longer to say things in different languages, most networks will also ask for undipped deliverables for their international distributors. Undipped means that requested stem will stay at the same audio volume level throughout the program, regardless of what the dialog or VO is doing. This allows the international versioning mixer to re-dip the stems to account for the differences in the length of different languages."
