Sorry about that. If fidelity isn't so much the point - and with stems, it really isn't - you might just wanna "up-res" them to WAV or AIF and use them as recorded elements in your better-sounding work. Like samples or found-sound. Y'know?

Aren't there any good quality stems, MP3 isn't a great music format! Thanks P virtualpt on "Where are the stems for crooked?" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/where-are-the-stems-for-crooked#post-4925 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 23:43:39 +0000 virtualpt 4925@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Thanks Billy, I'll check it out :-) BillyO on "Where are the stems for crooked?" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/where-are-the-stems-for-crooked#post-4923 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 14:35:38 +0000 BillyO 4923@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ First of all, Thank You for buying Crooked! Your support of this music matters deeply to us and we're grateful. To answer: Right now, with the two year long "seasons" of Kristin's CASH Music project behind us, the mix stems are certainly hard to find. Sorry about that. I'm working on correcting that now. But for now, my imperfect answer is to visit: <a href="http://kristinhersh.cashmusic.org/series1/" rel="nofollow">http://kristinhersh.cashmusic.org/series1/</a> and <a href="http://kristinhersh.cashmusic.org/series2/" rel="nofollow">http://kristinhersh.cashmusic.org/series2/</a> Under the player is a list of the songs. If click on any of the song titles, you'll be taken to the song's own page and there, you'll find a link to mix stems. Try that, and please let me know if you succeed. I happened to notice that there are no stems for Bliss (the first song in Season 2). Weird. Love.

It is superb, one of the reasons that I really wanted it was because it says you can download 'Full recording stems for each track allowing you to remix them'. I can't seem too find them, can anyone point me in the right direction please, or is there a problem with getting them? I did search this forum & have found a couple of references to people with stems and managed to find something called Slippershell, but this does not seem to be the stems for all the crooked tracks. Hope you all had/are having a good Xmas. Many thanks for any help :-) P derek denim on "Where are the stems?" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/where-are-the-stems#post-4457 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 20:10:07 +0000 derek denim 4457@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ The Muses recordings are much more important. BillyO on "Where are the stems?" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/where-are-the-stems#post-4452 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 13:07:24 +0000 BillyO 4452@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Because the stems for the demos are comprised of the same basic tracks that were employed in the finals, with a few exceptions, of course, we hadn't wanted to put Steve Rizzo through the process of creating sub mixes and stems for all the new songs all over again. We thought for the number of people who actually download them, that this wouldn't be a huge bummer. If it is a huge bummer, we'll certainly reconsider...It'd mean another studio day or two - and K's been saving most of those for the Muses recordings, which a really time-consuming. Just so you know the whole picture. witchseason on "Where are the stems?" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/where-are-the-stems#post-4450 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 08:38:58 +0000 witchseason 4450@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Sorry, my email was confusing. No, I was looking for the stems for the album (not the demos). I logged in using the firstword/lastword combo and couldn't see a link to them fron the Home page (is there one?).

"mdwoolley" and "witchseason" were asking about Rat Girl...so I was confused. tony on "Where are the stems?" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/where-are-the-stems#post-4445 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 23:27:08 +0000 tony 4445@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Hi Billy, not sure if this helps but on the UK version, the Crooked book has a sticker on the cover listing "Full recording stems for each track allowing you to remix them" <a href="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t278/doolittle86/img012.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t278/doolittle86/img012.jpg</a> BillyO on "Where are the stems?" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/where-are-the-stems#post-4443 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 13:34:20 +0000 BillyO 4443@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Hi Both, Nice to have you here! Um...not to be too stupid here, but did we state that we were going to upload stems for the Season Sessions? I wasn't under that impression...but if you want the KH stems we do mention, they're available here: <a href="http://kristinhersh.cashmusic.org/series1/" rel="nofollow">http://kristinhersh.cashmusic.org/series1/</a> and here: <a href="http://kristinhersh.cashmusic.org/series2/" rel="nofollow">http://kristinhersh.cashmusic.org/series2/</a> Have at it! mdwoolley on "Where are the stems?" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/where-are-the-stems#post-4442 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 07:29:00 +0000 mdwoolley 4442@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Same question from me! witchseason on "Where are the stems?" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/where-are-the-stems#post-4434 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:17:35 +0000 witchseason 4434@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ I just bought the Rat Girl book & downloaded the album & demos, but where are the 'recording stems' allowing me to remix them? Have they gone? gurdonark on "stem suggestion" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/stem-suggestion#post-788 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 04:21:10 +0000 gurdonark 788@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Dear K and B: I hope you are doing well. Thank you for your additions of 'pellas onto ccmixter, and for your posting of stems here. As you know, folks have enjoyed and actively remixed the work. I write to suggest a different kind of sample pack, to be posted either here or at the mixter (or, ideally, both places). This is different kind of sample pack, aimed at the synth/sampler user. Although I do remix songs, I tend to more often sample from tones and sounds for use in creating songs and sounds entirely disparate from the source material. For this purpose, a traditional "song" or even a "melody stem" is of less use than a single (fairly dry) pitch, note or chord sustained for a few seconds. It's a fun part of the "sharing economy" to be able to quote, with attribution, from an artist whose work one enjoys. However, the goal here is not to do the gurdonark version of "Rubidoux", so much as to go in different directions. Because K uses so many interesting guitar tunings and also because K. has an idiosyncratic vocal style, a synth/sampler friendly set of sounds in a sample pack might work like this: a. each sound would be 2 to 7 seconds, and sustain a single note or chord b. each sound might be an interesting guitar tuning, or a collection of single sustained notes sung by Kristin or other instruments K plays c. the pack would be very short wave files rather than mp3s d. rather than CC BY NC, the license would be CC BY or even PD, as these are not melodies or songs or anything, but just building blocks to be as unencumbered as possible. I can and do cut stems myself from longer tracks, so I'm not saying that any of this is essential. But I know y'all are cutting edge on these things, and I thought I'd share an idea. It need not be anything elaborate, and I'd not suggest it if I had in mind anything time consuming to speak of, but a five or ten sound "sample pack" of very short things along this line would be a benefit to synth artists like me at little cost in time or intellectual property. I'd even take the resulting pack, build 7 songs, and post the resulting album CC BY for free download at jamendo :), to keep the sharing going. Count this all in the realm of suggestion rather than anything else--and best winter wishes to you both. best, robert who records as gurdonark sarahcryst on "Speedbath CASH stems" http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-cash-stems#post-766 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:49:33 +0000 sarahcryst 766@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ Will the current stems for Speedbath remain up once the next series of CASH tracks happens? Thanks!
