I've done a fair few 3 hour sets over the years. I think only one or 2 of the previous GTAC sets were 2 hours.
This one is pre-recorded this time around though as I've been in work for the past few days and haven't had enough time to prepare properly.

Any 'stems' and software recs?

'stems' seem to be the initial building blocks of a track, that a then remixer pieces together in their style as a 'remix'. Some artists use differing software.

Wondering if you have the former and an opinion on the latter?

I know what they are, just wasn't sure on the context you were asking :lol:

Stems are actually grouped multi-tracks. So you could have a 'stem' that is the vocal part for a track. But in the original production, that stem may have been made up of many multi-tracks. Layers of doubled vocals, backing vocals, harmonies, separate effect tracks etc. This then gets bounced out together as one 'stem'

Not sure what you mean by if I have any?
I've been sent the stems of tracks that I've remixed by the original artist, that's standard really, then you can take your pick on what parts you want to use in your version.

As for software, are you talking about for DJ'ing or production?

I use Ableton Live myself.

In all honesty, when you compare the main ones around Ableton, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Bitwig, Studio One, Reaper etc. there isn't a huge amount between them tbh. All are very capable of being the foundation of a professional sounding track. I know of professional producers for each of them.

Each one will have it's strengths and weaknesses (features vs price-point and whatnot) and is really limited only be the skill of the producer using the software.
There's a lot of people around who will claim one is better then the other, but it's just brand loyalty at that point imo.
