grand pianos exist
but i can't afford it
and even if i could
it won't fit in my room

that is what holding me back
from writing tunes like beethoven
nothing else
really

what difference does it make? I don't live in a facist state, nor do I have to disclose. Trolling people for the sake of trolling just shows how you have too much time on your hands. Honestly, get a life. I am researching and I am not obliged to disclose my university.

No, you certainly aren't obligated to be open and honest, but you'd probably get more useful information (and much less resistance) if you choose to be. With this being your very first post on this forum, on an account you created the same day as posting, it looked suspiciously like several other first-time-posts here and on other forums, where someone in bad faith is simply trying to outsource unpaid content to re-hash for their blog in order to build their web presence. Often, those people never come back once they get what they need; they aren't interested in being community members, they just come here to harvest free data. So I think that's why you're getting some resistance here, because your post resembles the same thing.

Show up, be a member of the community, and you'll get much better results. As it stands, you are someone who just showed up and expected free data on day 1, and lashed out when you didn't get it.

It might help if you gave some specifics on what you are trying to find out, and for what purpose.

Not very familiar with research, are you? That info can / will steer answers into a certain direction. It is very hard for an observer to not influence the outcome of an experiment.

Would access to full stems (e.g., separate drums, bass, vocals) instead of loops/ samples improve your workflow? Particularly if you could choose any song stems?

I don't see how having separate stems has anything to do with workflow when it comes to songwriting.
There are many songwriters that have separate tracks for each instrument in a song and many have achieved that with a DAW that offers (to their taste) a good workflow, but having those separate tracks in and of itself has nothing to do with the actual "workflow".
Even for DJs and remixers having separate stems would open up options that otherwise wouldn't be there with stereo tracks but the workflow is all in how features within a program/app work.
