Yes, sure. Go to: http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-mtk.htm#D...HammerDown and click on "MP3" in the "Full Multitrack" line and you end up here:

Now click on the arrow to the right in the HTML-player. It's not the wav-File but it will do the trick.

Thanks for getting back to me, and so swiftly, Blitzzz.

It's a 192kbps file. Are you aware of how a lossy codec deals with bass under this extreme rate of data reduction? The file is presented for preview purposes so we get the gist of the multi before downloading it. It's definitely not for reference purposes because of it's mega inferior audio quality. Anyone who uses it for reference is automatically setting their standards to a low level.

Would it be wise to base judgement on audio which has only 14% of the original material remaining?

That said, most people are sitting in a far from decent acoustic space anyway to make an informed judgement on their own mixes, let alone to critically assess the qualities in a reference sample. If you're sitting in a -36dB null at 74Hz (let's ignore the Q) and a pop of +23dB at 107Hz, the reference isn't going to be much good either! The smaller the room, the bigger the train smash. And don't get me going on the subject of headphones or I could be here all day

Perhaps some might like to have access to the 16bit PCM for reference? Posting on Bandcamp for example, with a minor charge, would help those more committed participants while helping to fund your own expenditures. Make it a 2-way street, sort of thing. Only an idea
