I took the following from my post in General Discussions - manual for Elastique, cuz there was no reply there and thought it might be more appropriate here anyways....

it's taken me a while to figure out what a "stem" is and I'm still not for sure on my interpretation/definition.
- A raw piece of "musical" info, whether it be a wav of an intrument or vocal take, or a midi passage. The item in it's original un-manipulated form.
I'm not new to recording, but I am new to computer based music and recording, and incorporating electronic elements into my music, and there are many times reading thru these forums I
feel like I don't know a thing, that's why I decided to just go thru the manual.
Maybe a sticky topic in newbieland "extended glossary"?
any suggestions, recommended reading or links welcome.

that was from the other post, and I have since looked thru the wiki more and realize "my" interpretation/definition is probably more wrong than right.
