I get it that NI is mostly pushing this for the "creative DJ" market but I wish it was 8+ tracks and they got majors onboard to release stems of older music.

There are a bunch of leaked multitracks on the internet, everything from Metallica to Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson - and they're really interesting to listen to and play with.
The original multitrack tapes are fast becoming degraded and lost so would be fantastic if there was commercial motive to archive/digitise them.
- vwelling 11y agoNI's products such as the S8, D2, F1 and X1 are mostly targeted at DJs playing electronic music, particularly house and techno. Genres where there's a lot of room for live experimentation with many different layers, due to the easily quantisable nature of the music. I doubt they had Stevie Wonder and Metallica in mind while developing this ;) For production purposes you'd probably want a lossless file format anyway.
