Cutting Crew – I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight (Multitrack)(26 Stereo Tracks)(44.1k-16bit)
Hey gang, hope everyone is doing good š
OK, bit of fun time.. the Weeknds just about here š
I was recently asked about a copy of the Cutting Crew – I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight stems, and after some digging and a bit of joking around tbh, it seems to come down to “preference of availability, and usefulness”. Now there`s a phrase.
Which got me thinking.. (so much so, I nearly ran a poll for this.. but, you know cba). If you could have only one of these packs in your life, which one would it be?(taking moolah out of the equazion).
1, The RockBand version, 7 submixed stems (14 mono) from, lets face it.. a game.. so rips may be of dubious origin & quality.. but something you can do whatever with..in your own software and then maybe remix it, or mash it or tweak it ect. And export it.. Then put it on the net and have some fun with things..
OR
2, The MTM version. 26 gloriously separated stereo stems where you can listen to every tiny detail of each instrument in a song, and still make a mix, but because of reasons, you have to use someone else`s software & you cant export your final creation. Or rip the vocal out to mash up with, or create an instrumental to mess around with.
Loaded question kinda but, a thinker for sure. Which would you pick?
Answers on a postcard please.. erm.. (no need to mail or msg in really lol)
Though feel free to have your say if you want tho – always nice to read opinions on these type of things š
Mix The Music (MTM) Review & Thoughts
Mix The Music (MTM) Review mixthemusic.com.
While I`m in the mood to send people “off site” I wanted to do a short blog post regarding mixthemusic.com.
For anybody unaware or new to the multitracks “scene” there is now a legal way to buy stems/multi`s of many great artists and bands*.
This is the first* , maybe the first ever** “officially endorsed/licensed by some of the big guns” “buy your stems here” (sort of) web site. Which is great. Really great.
So please go there, set up an account, grab a stem pack, download the software, and have a little play.
In other words, if you can, show your support. (and of course have a some fun into the bargain).
All for the cost of $10 a song. Some are even $6.
I mean, where else can you get all the multitracks you`ll ever want for a few bucks?
Unfortunately there are restrictions as you may have guessed (or not) on what you can and can`t do with the multitrack/song you just bought. Long story short, I can totally understand why there are such restrictions and I`m not going to go too much further on that just yet. Dont agree totally with how it works, but I know why.
Basically you can`t simply download the stems to your favourite DAW and start remixing and exporting. Which is a shame. But almost nearly understandable.
You do get the sites` licensed DAW called “Studio One” to download with your stems though, which works well with the downloaded songs as a unit. I got a Barry White one to test it all out.
I`d guess from that minor review here that you can work out for yourself how MTM (as it will be known from now on for ease of use) operates.
It`s easy(ish) to set up an account and get going in under 10 minutes so once again, I`d urge one and all to give it a shot. If only just to see.
