What Exactly Are Multitracks?
Before diving into the Bakersfield sound, let’s clarify the terminology. A "multitrack" (or "stem") refers to an individual audio file for a specific element of a song. While an MP3 is a single stereo mix—like a finished painting—multitracks are all the paint pots separated. Individual Drum Tracks: Kick In, Kick Out, Snare
For a standard Korn song, a complete multitrack package typically includes:
- Individual Drum Tracks: Kick In, Kick Out, Snare Top, Snare Bottom, Rack Toms, Floor Toms, Overheads (Left/Right), and Room Mics.
- Bass Guitar: Usually a direct input (DI) track plus an amped track for Fieldy’s signature clank.
- Guitars (Head/Munky): Left and Right channels, often split by rhythm and lead layers.
- Vocals: Main verse, chorus double, whispers, screams, and ad-libs.
- Percussion/SFX: That famous trash can lid drum sound, turntable scratches, and samples.
