What is Stem Mixing?

Stems are the individual ensembles or tracks of a song. Say, an artist will release his stems of one of his popular track for others to remix.

His stem could consist of (for example) a drum track which contains every drums and percs, a bass track, 1 or 2 lead tracks, etc.

Some artists / DJs will use these stems to mix only portions of one track with another, or to recreate the track live in another way.
 
they nice to work with if you do remix comps.... you have the main body in the stems then add to them or just rearrange the stems here's a link for many remix comps Find A Remix Contest - Remix Comps You can download many stems here but it's unethical to download and just use them not in the remix they was made for :sigh:...

It's quite easy and fun to work with them as long as you set the tempo to the tempo they were made to... The hard part is standing out enough to win:victory:
