Fugazi — The Argument

Multi-stem mixer for The Argument (2001), all 11 tracks. The guitar stem is split into Guitar L / Guitar R so the two guitars pull apart, with a 105 Hz high-pass taking the bass bleed out of the guitar lanes. Every stem is decoded to one shared clock, so playback can't drift or skip. · 11 songs.

What this page is

A song is built from layers playing at the same time: the drums, the bass, the guitars, the singing. This page lets you turn each layer up or down on its own, so you can hear just one, or take one away.

The two guitars. Fugazi has two guitar players. The computer that split this song could only make one guitar track, so both players got stuck together. We pulled them apart by ear: one leans to the left speaker, one leans to the right. Press SOLO on Guitar L or Guitar R to lean toward one of them.

Why it stopped skipping. Before, the song's layers were each trying to keep up with the others over the internet, and they kept bumping and stuttering. Now the whole song loads first, then every layer rides one clock together, so they stay lined up.

Buttons. SOLO = hear only this layer. MUTE = silence this layer. The slider makes a layer louder or quieter. RESET MIX puts everything back.
