How to Merge Multitrack Files?

[secret love]

Hello all,

I downloaded the London 2013 Don't Stop multitrack from the Ledge. It's 7 different files, one for each part of the song. So far I can only listen to one part at a time.

Does anyone know how to merge all the files together to get the complete song in one listen?

Thanks!

if you have a mac garageband. You simply lay each track on top of each other.

Don't have a Mac unfortunately.

Hey secretlove,

I can do it with Soundtrack Pro. You'll need to upload all the files somewhere so that I can download them. :nod:

I have a programme which is extremely easy to use but it was part of a bought package. Maybe Audacity would work for you? Fairly easy to edit tracks on that. http://m.wikihow.com/Combine-Songs-on-Your-Computer-Using-Audacity

I use Cool Edit Pro which is not a freebie.

But if you merge them for him it will sound exactly like the final recording. I think he wants to play with the mix.

I'm probably behind the times here, but how do you even get the multitracks? I always wanted to take finished recordings and separate the tracks (like Ken C did on the Classic Albums Rumours DVD) but of course you can't unless you have the masters. So please do let me know. :)

Cool Edit Pro multirack lets you mix the tune with its mixer board.Again CEP is not freeware and its now called Adobe Audition.Probably can find a good clean working version from one of those safe virus free old version software web sites.

Heres a list of audio software with its features listed from pro to simple .

I can't upload the files, but here is a link to the thread they came from:

No, I don't want to play with the mix. I just want the complete song instead of isolated parts.

I'm a trailer editor and sometimes we get the stems from the record company so we can use instrumental part or drop the vocals lower during dialouge. It's not always possible to get them, but sometimes they will do it for us. Someone is obviously leaking them.
