It would be nice for me to get individual master tracks for sampling purposes. I would pay for access too, but I've never even seen that as an option.

- discohead 10y agoThis is exactly what the Stems music format is all about: http://www.stems-music.com http://www.stems-music.com
- programLyrique 10y agoStems is only four tracks. That certainly works well for "standardized contemporary music for DJ" but it doesn't sound it is a universal format for all kind of music.
- ssharp 10y agoMight just be a terminology thing, but I don't think mastering engineers work off of tracks. I think they're given mixdowns and adjust from there. There are some fascinating isolated tracks out there, but I wonder if knowing that stems will get released will push things in the studio even deeper into the territory that every recorded note must be perfect. Making a record already produces a lot of self conscious anxiety that affects your decision making, so knowing that people will also be listening to and analyzing your individual tracks is even worse!
