DOWNLOAD MULTITRACKS TO PRACTICE EDITING, MIXING AND MASTERING. INCLUDES A FREE AND COMPLETE DAW!

Site provides dozens of audio tracks to be downloaded and remixed by users.

The 90's and 2000's consolidated the digitization of audio, a process where analog media gave way to digital media in the storage and reproduction of recorded audio in most studios and stages in the world. The popularization of the Internet has allowed access to high quality digital audio recordings at an almost immediate reach by the user. This allowed any student, apprentice or audio enthusiast to be able, in possession of a decent computer and a pair of headphones, to practice and perform editing, mixing and mastering anywhere, in their "portable studio". Computers have evolved and with the arrival of the new M1 processors in Apple computers, a new era begins in the Performance x Cost ratio in terms of digital audio processing power.

Even those who can't afford an Apple computer or iPad (yes, some of the new iPad Pros have much higher processing power than some powerful computers of the previous Mac generation, equipped with Intel chips) can enjoy the possibility. of having a computer-based home studio. For this, a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is also required, a software that works as an editing, recording, processing and mixing suite, mixing the functions of recorder, MIDI sequencer, rack of virtual audio processors and mixing and mastering console. Once the DAW is installed, audio recordings can be imported into the program, allowing the user to perform all kinds of processing to musical performances, as if they were in a studio or stage. DAW's can be quite expensive, but there are some free options on the market like the reduced (and limited to 16 audio channels) version of the industry standard software, the Pro Tools, called Avid Pro Tools First, which can be downloaded on this link. another interesting option is the Cakewalk by Bandlab, reincarnation of the famous Sonar platform, available only for Windows 10, which is now offered for free and is very well equipped, with virtual instruments, native plugins and unlimited amount of audio channels.

In possession of a DAW on your computer, all that remains is to add the audio tracks, which are files of recordings of musical performances by bands and artists. An excellent site, which (by itself is an almost inexhaustible source of knowledge), provides such multitracks is the Cambridge Music Technology site, whose section "The 'Mixing Secrets' Free Multitrack Download Library" is a library of recording sessions that can be downloaded for free. Enjoy it!
