Alternatively if you just want to use them as guide tracks would karaoke versions work then when you've redone each bit you want to just mute the karaoke et voila?

Very good resource.
Also try befriending someone who works for a music tech company.
It is normal to have a little cache of commercial multi tracks as they get used at trade shows and the like.

Gates are a hangover from before non-linear editing became a thing.
They are still used a lot in the live world of course.
I'm lucky enough to have access to some Peter Gabriel multitracks (no, I cannot share them) from my time at SSL.
Sledgehammer, Big Time and such.
They've are absolutely amazing but the amount of spill, especially in the vocal tracks, is pretty noticeable.
I was surprised, but I guess it makes sense.

What usually happens is your have different track 'collections' for each section of the song.
For instance say you have 10 drum mics set up (2 on kick, 2 snare, 2 overheads, one on each tom and a stereo room) and you have a typical soft verse, loud chorus type thing.
You would use different treatments (EQ and compression) on the verse to the chorus, because of the different dynamic levels.
So you can either automate changes in compression and EQ on 10 tracks, or you can split the verse drums out to their own collection of 10 tracks and then chorus drums out to their own 10 tracks.
The latter is much more flexible- it doesn't cost you to have more tracks in your DAW.
Then you might have a particularly loud middle 8 which requires its own 10 track collection for just that part.
So we are already at 30 tracks of drums.
Then you might have 4 tracks of electrics guitars for each section and 2 tracks of bass (2 mics) for each section.
So that its 54 tracks before keys, acoustic guitars, percussion or vocals.
It is easy to get to 100 tracks if you have all that added in and BV's written in harmonies and multiple keyboard parts- but at once you might only have 24 tracks playing at any one time.
Plus you end up counting all the bussing and routing, parallel compression buses etc as tracks because you tend to automate their levels in the Edit/Arrange window.
If you are doing a surround mix then you can massively expand the track count too.
It isn't unusual to see Dolby Atmos post production mixes to run into hundreds and hundreds of tracks- stereo audio mixing is pretty tame in comparison.

the custom backing tracks can be downloaded as individual instruments...
