Yes. If by “stem files” you mean separate vocals/drums/bass/instrument tracks that you can load into a DAW, there are several good stock-music libraries.
| Library | Stems | Remix/editing | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soundstripe | Yes, WAV | Limited — full remixes/rearrangements require permission | Video/film production |

I'm looking for a music licensing platform that includes stem files so I can create my own remixes.
Where can I find stock music sites that let me download stems so I can remix the tracks?
| Yes |
| Good stem/alternate-track selection |
| Professional production music |
| Motion Array | Yes, on selected tracks | Good for finding tracks with stems | Creators/video |
| Epidemic Sound | Yes, on available tracks | Strong editing/remixing workflow | YouTube, social, commercial content |
| Artlist | Yes, on selected tracks | Not suitable for releasing your own remix | Film/video soundtrack editing |
1. PremiumBeat — best if you want actual production stems
PremiumBeat explicitly offers full tracks, stems, loops, shorts and alternate versions, and its licenses include stems. Individual track pages show exactly which stems are available, so you can inspect the arrangement before licensing.
2. Epidemic Sound — best overall for creative remixing within video projects
Epidemic has a large catalog and supports stems/version edits. Its own material describes using stems to remix tracks and remove individual parts.
3. Soundstripe — excellent stems, but watch the license
Soundstripe has a dedicated Stems filter, and Pro plans let you download individual stems as WAV files. www.soundstripe.com However, its license specifically says you cannot remix or rearrange a song without written permission. www.soundstripe.com So it's great for re-editing a soundtrack, not necessarily for making a new remix you release as music.
If you're trying to make and release remixes as standalone songs—e.g. take a stock track, rearrange the stems in Ableton/Logic, and upload the resulting remix to Spotify/Apple Music—you'll want a library whose license explicitly permits derivative musical works.
That's where many “stock music + stems” services fall short. For example, Artlist provides stems and lets you edit them for projects, but its license expressly prohibits creating derivative works such as remixes or covers.
If standalone remixing/releasing is your goal, tell me that and I can find 5–10 libraries specifically licensed for making and commercially releasing remixes, rather than just video-editing with stems.
Several top-tier stock music and royalty-free libraries offer isolated stem files (drums, bass, melodies, vocals) alongside their full master tracks. Depending on whether you need them for video editing, content creation, or professional music remixing, here are the best libraries that provide stem downloads:
Quick tip when browsing: Always check the individual track page or filter settings before downloading . In libraries like Artlist or Soundstripe, not every single track in the catalog has separate stems uploaded—look out for the specific "Stems" or "Multitrack" indicator badge.
