Don‘t want to sound too harsh. Dude, I love the energy and that you want to run with it. Just preaching good practices.
Discussion
Thanks for bringing this up.
Nah that’s the whole point. Sure there isn’t the tooling for zaps or a sat paywall to download… but if you upload to stemstr you giving permission to release else where. In fact if you want to call the thing done and not have it messed with further don’t post it on stemstr.
I know we don’t like delete on nostr, but would love to post a loop up for zaps and have it ephemerally gone once that invoice is full so it’s way more exclusive than a splice membership.
Anyone, grabbing anything, doing whatever the fuck they want with it without communicating with anyone about it and crediting as they wish?My bad, totally misunderstood what the platform is supposed to be.
Not for me
This is the idea #[10]
Consider what #[11] did when he took my beat and layered the great melody and harp over it. He didn't have to ask permission or anything. He just tapped download, made it better and then put it back up on stemstr for anyone to use and do what they want with. It may not be for everybody, but I think it's awesome and can unlock so much creativity in folks.
Hope you decide to stick around and watch how it all evolves 💜
gonna sound like a broken record but definitely need to encourage uploading the isolated original contribution (in this example acapella) so more can happen from there
#[11] appreciate you reinforcing the point here! It’s not so much a function of encouragement as it is us all having full-time day jobs (and newborns!) and not a function of us not wanting to support the stems of a sound. Having these kinds of things unlocks so much potential as a tool that could be used by more serious producers. Concept here :-)

… and put it back stemstr. That is the key difference here for me. There were discussions between us about where it could go from there. If that becomes my track, I’d play the final mix in stemstr to you guys, get everyone thumb up and tell you my intention to release.
Deep down, just the way we do things, when we collaborate. I am not alone making music, if I am I do not need stemstr. It’s a collaboration, hence my obsession with the tree to track it all so that this discussion doesn’t even need to exist.
I think part of the reuploading finished work to stemstr is really just a test of the infrastructure with a lack of a bunch of people actually making samples/loops… like clearly we need a reply button as people just posting top levels 🔥 responses. Very early.
