      Hey DJ carlo. My name is DJ Machado Flow. I'm a blind 14 year old DJ, and I also use a mac book pro 16 inch. It was donated to me through someone. WHen I started djing at 11, I had to use my mom's window's lap top. you're right about the small delay when using serato and stems. It's weird, but it works at least lol.

    • @klubstompers
      @klubstompers Год назад +1

      Exactly, the ability to remove the kick, while leaving in the hats and snare is a necessity. Now if it separated each drum sound, separated acid lines from synths, etc., it would be a game changer. Maybe one day instead of selling a master wav file, well be sending out all our separate trax that make the song, then mixing will get crazy. It would be more like your own abelton live set with others people tracks.
      But i still love the idea of being able to remove a vocal from one track, so the vocals dont crash in a mix, or the ability to remove the melody when the new melody comes in.

      That's where you're wrong. The stem seperation really depends on how many elements are in the track. I seperate to play around almost all the time at home, and I use my own mixex since they have sweeper fx like white noie. And it drowns the vocals sometimes if it's over them.

    I think there should be a way for producers to deliver stem separated tracks. So, not separated by AI, but made by the artist as they intended it.
    Serato could label it 'Stem Ready' or something

    • @djcarlo

      That'd be interesting! I remember that back in the day, multiple 12" singles already had instrumental, acapella, etc versions of the song on them, but that'd be up to the record label to decide. They should bring that back for the digital age.

      Exactly! The main thing is you arent gonna wanna play vocal stems alone. Too much extra bleed on most tracks. But outside of that, most listeners wont hear when you are blending stems together and you can still use real eq and filters to mask much of the shortcomings of stems. This is so exciting.

    For me Stems is game changing. I have messed around in vdj off and on for the past 18 months or so and I find it really releases a ton of creativity. But as I'm only dabbling nowadays I couldn't justify the outlay for vdj when the serato / Roland 505 combo serves me so well in just about every other way.
    Using stems creatively gives me a buzz I've not felt since I first started dj'ing in the late 1990s.
    So I maybe alone here. But I was really excited to hear that Serato has joined the real time stems party, I mean genuinely, really excited.
    The only other thing I'd like to see is: shift then hit a stems pad, to instantly solo that one stem.

    1. I think Serato can collaborate with Izotope on this on because, what if, Rekordbox does that collaboration to create their own stem seperation thing? Because Izotope has an actually solid Machine learnt algorithm for Stem Seperation (Music rebalance in Izotope RX) because it has done so many iterations and so many repetitive Learning over the years and stuff and their stem seperation is way better than anyone elses's.
    2. Stem Seperation will be better to act on than EQing only when you are mixing two tracks in such a way that you want to play the vocal acapella of one track on top of the break of the other song (many DJs do that during TML sets). Otherwise, EQing has its own place during mixing songs or during Intro-Outro or Drop-Intro or Outro-Drop mixing.

    This is for the family people. This RUclips is very informative, you guys need to listen DJ Carlo and take notes
    Just because you get gig opportunities doesn't make you a pro DJ. Skills, abilities and your mental record crate do. If I take your setlist put it on Spotify and it sounds the same as your live set, you're not a DJ, YET
    You must learn to mix, blend beat match and cuts, then you can move on to more advanced things like crowd control or harmonic mixing, scratching etc.

    Is EQ dead? That's a Hell No! I have a feeling the Rekordbox will not go the STEM route. In addition, in order for the STEM to work, you must have Serato and use your laptop. What if you are not able to? You better have a backup flash drive so you can play on the Pioneer DJ system. I know there are a number of open formats and streaming DJs have Senato will be using it. I'm glad for them. Since this is in beta mode, you can't use it out to a gig. I say Pro DJs who gig at venues and festivals may use it because they would have to bring their laptop and if you have a 1 or 2-hour set, you simply don't have time to set up your laptop just play on Serato and use STEM. No promoter is going to let it fly. Since I use RB, I don't have a desire to purchase Serato just to use STEM. That's just me.

      Whether or not DJs stop using EQ blending depends on the DJ and music style. I still worry more with stems that we'll see tons of DJs just make loads of mashups and remixes of old music, which means new music and new sounds will have a tougher time getting noticed.

    @cmdess Год назад +3

    I doubt it does as well as DeMix who are updating to have more stem export options but it's interesting to see STEM tools become the norm especially in hardware. Stem separation is totally dependent on the Mix. I have separated thousands of stems for production music libraries, generally a very well isolated mix will produce stems that have less bleed from the main separations. The only thing missing from the stem game is a good stem mastering tool to add in some elements that stem separation removes from the various parts. It often confuses vocal highs with drum highs. Other elements aren't always clean and sound like fast volume fades occur to make the extraction. I have tried about 10 different stem tools but ended up with the one mentioned above. Additionally SpectraLayers is going to prove useful for serious stem adjustment and new creative frontiers in my opinion. There is more than meets the eye with these stem tools because it's a new pathway into sound design.

    This is probably the most game changing technique added by software djying (since sync, maybe, despite its controversy).

    Why is this feature only being talked about now that Serato does it? Virtual DJ did this TWO YEARS ago. DJay did it not long after. It didn't kill EQing when either of those programs did it. When Pioneer inevitably joins the party late will people be once again reporting that DJing as we know is about to change forever? While I've used the feature to do some cool things, including making key changes less jarring, I don't think it's going to cause any sweeping changes. I think a lot of people are going to disable the feature to save computing power, which is something I've seen people recommend with VDJ over and over again since even mid range laptops can choke on the work load.

    Of coarse EQ'ing isn't dead. If you were able to separate each drum and remove hats, snare, toms, bass kick separately, separate acid riffs from synths, etc, then maybe. Stems has a ton of uses, but it does not replace eq'ing. We still need the highs from a track removed, or the low end, not everything from each "instrument".
