The Rolling Stones: “Mother's Little Helper” (Multitrack)

Multitrack Format Opportunities

1. Mix Balance

   Fine-tune volume, pan, and spatial placement for a clear mix.
   Example: Pan guitars left and right to create space for centered vocals.

2. Non-Destructive Editing

   Rearrange and cut audio without altering original recordings.
   Example: Shorten a chorus by moving regions instead of deleting audio.

3. Per-Track Control

   Adjust levels, EQ, and effects independently for each channel.
   Example: Solo the kick drum and cut muddy frequencies without affecting guitars.

4. Flexible Routing

   Send tracks to physical outputs, virtual busses, or custom headphone mixes.
   Example: Only the drummer hears the click, while the vocalist gets extra reverb in headphones.

5. Automation

   Perform fader moves, pan changes, or effect tweaks in real time, or draw automation curves for precise, repeatable control.
   Example: Ride the vocal fader during verses, or draw a filter sweep for the drop.

6. Per-Channel Processing

   Apply EQ, compression, reverb, or distortion independently per track.
   Example: Compress the bass to keep it tight without squashing the drums.

7. Remixing

   Rebuild or rearrange songs easily with access to all individual elements.
   Example: Mute the original vocal and replace it with a new rap verse.

8. Time & Pitch Adjustments

   Stretch, shift, or align tracks independently per channel.
   Example: Fix a slightly late snare hit without affecting the rest of the kit.

9. Layering Possibilities

   Re-play parts, add VST/RTAS instruments, or stack new sounds on top of existing tracks.
   Example: Record a new synth bass doubling the original bassline, or layer string pads under a live band performance.
