save Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hello i would like to know if there is any website that you can find the audio stems in order to create a remix of an old disco 70s track or is there any other way to complete this task. I am not sure if i am at the right place to ask for. Any feedback is appreciated Thank you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Music recordings usually are in the posession of record companies, the recorded music is usually owned by the authors and their publishers. All of these are in the business of licensing (=lending to you for money) music and/or recordings thereof. Contact the label and make them an offer.

save Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 thanks fuzz 4 replying to me. So you want to say that all the disco remixes that producers make eg Daft punk contact the labels and they buy the stems? Or maybe they just edit the full track eg is not really a remix in a traditional way but more like an editing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Any way you spin it, if you're anywhere near earning money with this, rest assured that the actual rights owners will find you and it's very helpful to have a deal in place when that happens.

ValliSoftware Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 With the legal-ise out of the way... Check these sites for a reasonable facsimile thereof... https://www.loopmasters.com https://www.producerloops.com https://zero-g.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha Franck Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 By now there's *heaps* of freely available stems for educational purposes, remix contests and what not around. Using them is legal as long as you don't make profit from it. In case that's your plan, you rather do what fuzzfilth recommended as anything else might get you into serious trouble.

Sascha Franck Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 And fwiw, as far as guys like Daft Punk go, no, they usually don't buy stems. They're handed to them pretty much on a golden plate as the name Daft Punkt stands for extra sales, which means extra royalties for the original artist.

MikeRobinson Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 But – hey – why not(!) "first try to go through the front door?" Find out which PRO and/or major-label wound up with the rights to the piece, then simply approach them. Describe what you want to do, and then ask them for their assistance. "Doors may open!"

Darude Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 If it's not original disco stuff you're looking for, OR, if you can extract enough of the key ingredients (remember legal stuff!), but want to mix with your own actual remix work, check out F9 Audio for a lot of funky, groovy, disco-y and house sounds, templates etc. Proper work by James Wiltshire (1/2 of The Freemasons) and his team. A lot of tutorials and free 'how to' and 'making of' videos, many with amazing gear, too! https://www.f9-audio.com/collections/all-products/products/f9-free-sp1200-beat-stems https://www.f9-audio.com/collections/all-products/products/f9-free-claptrap-sample-pack https://www.f9-audio.com/collections/all-products/products/f9-ifunk-nu-disco-guitars https://www.f9-audio.com/collections/all-products/disco?sort_by=created-descending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRobinson Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Disco ... gaa-a-a-a-aa, I am old enough to remember it! ... was extremely formulaic. It all revolved around the beat, obviously machine-generated and always the same. The instrumentation was also pastiche. But, they churned the stuff out, and sold all of it. Disco never excited me, until it evolved into modern dance. The "final dance" sequence of movies from those days was usually pretty amazing. (But you'd fast-forward your VCR tape past all the "disco" at the beginning, to get to the good stuff.) Now, if you're really going to get into doing disco music, you'll need to add some accoutrements to your studio: mirror balls, and square tiles on the floor that light up in various colors ... and you need to wear bell-bottoms, too.

MikeRobinson Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I grew up with those bands! ... Although, to my ear and to my memory, both K&TG and EW&F rather quickly embraced orchestration that "simple disco" never did. To my recollection, "disco" was very much about [local ...] clubs. "You could replicate this in your own chosen side of podunk." In its seminal incarnations, I recall that it was a very driving musical style, but not a particularly complicated one. However, I recognize that my recollections of the day – having actually (yuck ...) experienced it – are probably quite different from what you would today find on a revisionist "Google search ..." ... Y'know, one thing that all of us should also bear in mind, when we look back, is that technology ... specifically, the utter and complete lack thereof(!) ... had an enormous part in it. "The music that we heard" was completely unattainable. Musical artists in those days were sometimes paying more than $100,000 to lay their hands on "absolutely innovative" musical devices that would be laughingstock today.
