Want to buy tunes with separate stems?

[setspeed]

It's a good idea but what's the deal with releasing remixes for copyright purposes and royalties etc?

basically, 'don't sell it'.

Here's the blurb from the label page (http://bassmusic.bandcamp.com/album/two ... stems-pack) :

These stems are free to use for 'personal' use; put them in your DJ sets, live sets, remix the tracks, make mashups, put them on your soundcloud, offer them for free download, so long as it is non-commercial. You must credit the original track, and you can't sell the stuff you've made with them, unless you've sampled it so cunningly that we probably won't notice. (i.e. a snare drum here or a hihat there).

If you come up with something *really* good, feel free to send it to us: thebassmusicblog at gmail dot com. We can't promise we'll be releasing anything, but it'll be good to hear what people are doing!

The stems are, of course, not mastered; if you're trying to put them all together to recreate the original track we'd suggest throwing a limiter on the master output.

hope that's clear but not too legal-ese!

Ah right that's a really cool idea actually I think, if I DJ'd more and I had decent production equipment I'd probably buy a lot more digital stuff. Mind you it'd only be useful for CDJ'ing (laptops too, I suppose) unless your going to press dubplates...

Or you're DJ Shadow with 3 decks and 2 Akai MPCs on stage!

hope that's clear but not too legal-ese!

I have been chatting with my computer programmer brother off and on about something like this for a couple years, but my idea was more listener-based than DJ-based, as it revolved around a new file type that had alternate versions of each element of any given song.

IE: 4 drum tracks, 4 atmos tracks, 4 bass tracks, 4 perc tracks all encoded into 1 song

The media player would then randomly select which track of each element to play, giving you many different versions of the same song, or you could program in which version you liked best to hear it again.


Just a goofy lil idea that never got off the ground



I like the idea of selling stems with tunes for DJ's, great idea!!

Hmm thats a good idea, i wouldnt mind programming something like that...but the idea id have would be more toward ableton or serato. Patent Pending
