#Browsing stems
Browse stems, a tab in Crates & Stems, lists individual stems — vocals, drums, bass, melody, and more — that artists have put up for sale. Filter by part or artist, sort, and preview before you buy.
#Choosing a license tier
Each listing is sold under a license tier that defines what you may do with it. When an artist offers a stem in several tiers, its card in Browse stems shows a button for each tier with its price; pick one to open checkout on that tier.
- Personal
- Listen and enjoy the stem for your own private use.
- Remix
- Use the stem to create a remix — this is the tier that unlocks Remix Studio for that stem.
- Commercial
- Broader rights for commercial projects, where the artist offers it — this tier also lets you export and download a remix you build from the stem in Remix Studio.
#Paying
- Open a listing and choose its license tier.
- Choose x402 or direct wallet checkout when both are available. In x402 checkout, review the platform fee marked as included and the unchanged stablecoin total.
- Confirm the total and pay from your wallet balance. Resonate disables payment if it cannot verify the current quote details.
- Approve with your passkey — your collected stem and receipt appear in your wallet and library.
#Finding the stems you bought
Stems you buy live in your library, in the Stems tab. When a purchase goes through, the confirmation offers View in your library, plus Open in Remix Studio when you bought a Remix or Commercial license; choose Done to close it. My purchased stems at the top of Browse stems always takes you there too. A new purchase can take a few minutes to appear. A stablecoin (x402) payment shows up there when it settles through the marketplace; otherwise you get the file and a receipt to keep.
Each stem shows a badge with the license you hold: Personal, Remix, or Commercial. Use the filter to see only your remix-ready stems or only your personal ones. If you bought a stem at Personal and now want to remix it, choose Upgrade to Remix license on that stem to buy the Remix tier.
