Sorry but I don't think I was talking about stems.
It's more like a place with free2use music, with tracks you can use for
personal and public projects, for example as a background track for a
movie or a gameplay on youtube.
If I understand correctly, stem mixing is something a musician would do,
while I wrote about giving ready-to-use tracks for any kind of project.
Maybe the part about my videos was misleading: I don't only do videos
about music, I used that Christmas tracks for a commentary gameplay video.
Anyway that stem mixing is interesting too, and we could also consider
making free/paid "/loop packs/"//to get the money for the "paid
developer" idea and for the lmms.io domain (or just to spread the word
of LMMS).

A good collection of stems would be nice to offer to the users. We
could offer them on our site for download (we have an area dedicated
to downloads already), but we'd need someone to manage them as the
stems often become dated.
From my experience, stems usually accompany a promotional competition
and tend to be most popular around the release of a track. Also, good
stems usually are released by the musicians themselves and tend to
carry a non-CC0 license (attribution is usually required and most
competitions in some way prohibit certain use of their material).
Also, remixes are a small portion of what our users aim to achieve
when using the software, so if we decide to offer stems as downloads,
we may better spend our time actually creating the sample pack
download add-on that was pretty much abandoned, and include an area
for these types of longer stem mixing tracks.
Lastly, we need to be mindful of how awful our sample-track
implementation is currently. Until that's redone with the 2.0 release
(or onward) we should exercise a bit of hesitation before encouraging
track-based mixing with... well.. the AudioFileProcessor :)

Lately I've been using music made with LMMS that has won the last
competitions for my videos, and I know that a lot of Youtubers have
their free music libraries to take tracks from, since they must
use free
music to get money.
What about making a LMMS free music Library?
Why:
- Youtubers (and also other people who need any audio track for any of
their projects, even DJs) can take those and get to know about LMMS
- LMMS users can be inspired: a music library is normally divided into
genres or moods or when-to-put-it (music as a background for
videogames/fights/science-fiction etc), so a musician may try to enter
all of the categories!
- Reference inside other projects: I think that a lot of youtubers who
uses LMMS music may want to tell his subscribers about it
I know we have the Sharing Platform, but that is for other lmms users,
as we upload project files and presets, while this is about uploading
the ogg/wav render directly, and maybe be contacted for loop-able
version or extended mix or remove-that-sound requests.
What do you think? Youtube already has gathered a lot of free music in
its library, but they don't sound very good imo, while LMMS musicians
often put their best tracks free for download, so why not
gathering them?
