the freeware programs Spek or Audacity, to see if there are high frequencies present. If you are a true audiogeek you can check their spectrogram with e.g. Or they have extracted and re-encoded the single tracks from MOGG files. When they open, all the stems will be panned centre, so you have to pan relevant stereo tracks hard left and hard right yourself, in order to get the original stereo image.īe aware that many of the 'WAV' or 'FLAC' files you can find out there are actually OGG or MP3 files that have been upscaled/re-encoded unnecessarily. Will I ever remix or do something with them? I would like to, but who knows. But it might be a sign of the times that most people seem a bit unimpressed with all of this.Īnyway, as a music nerd of course I have downloaded a bunch of multitracks myself. If all these files somehow had been made magically available just 15-20 years ago, playful producers would probably have been all over them to create new works. So it seems that most producers/DJ's don't really take or have the time necessary to transform other people's tracks into new versions, especially as many of them presumably settle down with families etc.
