What Are Stems and Alternative Versions, and How Do I Use Them?
Soundstripe tracks include stems and alternative versions to give you more creative control.
What you'll learn here
- What stems and alts are
- How to find and download them
Stems are the individual instrument or vocal layers of a track, like just the drums, guitar, or vocals. You can use them to isolate or remove specific elements to better fit your project.
Alts (alternate versions) are full versions of the same song with different arrangements, such as an instrumental-only mix or a stripped-down take.
To access them:
- Click the dropdown arrow next to any song title
- Select the stem or alt you want
- Download it the same way you would any other track
If you need help finding or downloading these versions, our support team is happy to help.
