So, instead of just giving people the tune for free, I&#8217;ve decided that I&#8217;ll also give away all the multi-track stems for this tune, PLUS the Ableton Project file! So, for the producers out there, you&#8217;re able to download this and make your own versions, or play around with the sounds, or simply even just look at it to see how I&#8217;ve created this tune layer by layer.&#8221;
