This Should Be A Thing

It'd be awesome if music could be released in a high quality format for a program like ProTools or GarageBand where tracks in a song could be isolated. Maybe have the files as Read Only so we don't tamper with the art. Or don't. I loved it when Radiohead released something like this so fans could hear everything and remix Nude and Reckoner.

Also, I know there's a way for basics like this like isolated guitars or vocals, but I mean for every track of a song.

Artists should consider selling stems.

Stems...that's the word I was looking for.

I have a hard enough time mixing my own shit, I don't wanna go down that rabbit hole! Haaha!

Mixing is both my favorite and least favorite part. I figure it would be much easier if it wasn't my song and my money being used in the process.
