Multitrack Audio For Podcast Mixing Practice

PROBLEM

I regularly see people looking for unprocessed audio to practice mixing, editing, and restoration. Unfortunately, a reliable resource for these valuable databits seems to be nonexistent. Even worse, some people have the gall to charge for them and that's not cool, not even a little bit.

Let's do something about that :)

SOLUTION

The dry multitrack for Linux Weekly Daily Wednesday is now available. It features me and my co-host and runs just over thirty minutes. Everything's included: pops, clicks, breaths, background noise, and the occasional awkward silence.

Please note that while you're free to link directly to these files, the links will break at the end of each month when I post new episodes. Also, now is a good time to look up the name of the Linux mascot.

All files are 24-bit/48 kHz FLAC:

STEMS != MULTITRACKS

You may have arrived searching for stems, but multitracks are likely what you need. Stems are stereo recordings derived from mixes of several individual tracks. Multitracks, on the other hand, consist of all the distinct elements of an audio production, each with its own dedicated track.

These terms are not synonymous, regardless of what your favourite YouTuber may have told you :)
