The exported stems from Max Holmes's April 2026 drum & bass release "Gonna Be OK" — dry and wet versions for remixing, flipping, or studying mix decisions. The stems from a finished, released track. "Gonna Be OK" dropped on all platforms in April 2026. This is the stem export from the same master — both the dry stems (raw audio, no master or return effects) and the wet stems (with my full mix applied). Two ways to work with the same track, depending on whether you want to remix it or study how it was mixed. Use them to: Remix or flip the track in your own genreStudy the mix decisions — compare dry vs. wet to hear what the mixing chain actually didPractice the techniques from The AI-Ready Producer series on a real finished songPull vocal chops, drum hits, or bass elements into your own productions What you get: Dry stems — buses/groups exported with no master FX or return effectsWet stems — buses/groups exported with the full mix appliedStems are organized by group (drums, bass, vocals, harmonic layers, atmospherics) — not individual track-by-trackREADME with licensing and use notes If you want the full project file — arrangement, plugin chains, original session — grab the complete Ableton project (\$75) instead.
