Stems + Alts

For when the track is almost perfect.

Stems and alternate versions let you pull a track apart and rebuild it around your edit. Mute the vocals, keep the drums, or grab a version that's already closer to what you need.

The problem

You should not have to start your search over.

You finally find the right song, and then the edit starts pushing back. The vocal sits right on top of your voiceover, or the guitar is too busy under an interview. Usually that means starting the search over. It shouldn't.

FAQ

A few things you might be wondering

What are stems?

The individual parts of a track (drums, bass, piano, guitar, vocals) delivered as separate files, so you can mix them yourself.

Are stems and alts included in my plan?

Any account can browse and preview them. Downloading full stems and alternate versions takes a paid plan.

Are stems licensed the same as the full track?

Yes. They're part of the same track and covered by the same license.

Keep the song. Lose what's in the way.
