I have the same problem. Apparently, Ableton is unable to handle multitrack MP4 files, and it just thinks they are a corrupt audio file. :( (All 4 stems are saved into a single MP4 file as separate audio tracks. Other DAWs can handle these by splitting them into separate tracks, like is shown in the video, but apparently Ableton Live cannot.)

@@StellarFireflyGaming-rm2xu I’ve actually tried loading the mp4 file Traktor exports to Ableton, FL Studio, Bitwig and Serato Studio and had the same result. After trying all of these DAWs I watched a tutorial of a user that opened the mp4 file in Logic no problem, but I couldn’t do it in a single DAW I own. I have no my idea why NI Traktor doesn’t have a WAV export function with STEMs..makes no sense. 🤦‍♂️

@@DjMrGrimM Wow, I wouldn't have thought that so many apps did not support the multitrack format. I don't have those myself. But, I did open it up in VLC Media Player and with that you can right-click and select each of the different tracks to play. I wonder if there is a simple, lightweight utility that simply splits them into individual MP3 files.

@deemus133 good question. I'd like to know also.

@@CarlosMunoz1980 buenas noches, totalmente de acuerdo con usted la verdad Native Instruments perdió el Rumbo después de crear y lanzar al mercado la S4 Mk3 la descontinuaron ahora salen con esto que no se puede decir que es un gran avance y de paso el que quiera usarlo tiene que pagar la actualización. Waoo que absurdo.

@@CarlosMunoz1980 ipad?

Traktor simply choose at this point in time to not separate the stems real-time while you load the song, but to require you to do it beforehand through the menu. With the laptop hardware most DJ's currently have in mind I think this is the best choice. The Quality of the individual Stems created by Traktor is much better than any of the other DJ Software, much more useable whilst DJ'ing. There's a few videos on KZbin now who compare them and to my ears Traktor does a much better job than the other DJ Softwares. It takes more CPU+RAM recourses but creates a much better result. Sound Quality counts. As the Stem separation algorithms improve and the average Traktor user laptop CPU/NPU+RAM get better, I'm sure there will come a point in time in the next few years where you can actually choose 'Stem Separation upon Load' in the Traktor Settings if you feel your Hardware is up for it. Stem Separation quality and Software/Controller Stem Features combo is I think much more important than Real-Time Stems. I'll applauded the DJ Software that comes with well-executed Stems Software and Controller Features like easy Fading, Lo/Hi-Filter, FX Send per Stem so you can do for instance Reverb/Echo on Voice (FX1 Send) and another Effect on Drums or Bass Stem (FX2 Send), Looping per Stem rather than Looping all Stems of the Song together, etcetera. Not easy to integrate in Software or DJ Controller hardware, but whichever DJ Software gets that right will really make a difference. Currently Traktor already has many Stems Features in it's Software, Stems Control on their Controllers, extra hardware like F1 and D2 to control Stems + Stem Effects, and Midi-Mapping as an option to use other Controller Hardware for Stems Control.

@@cyaniderecord I have a feeling that Stems will migrate to Maschine, hopefully in the next version 🤞🏻

How good is the separation quality for vocals and instruments ​@@WaveBits

@@bboymac84 You can also relocate the stems to save to an external disk to save space in Traktor’s pref, just like you can the content for NI plugins👍🏻

​@@WaveBits si se puede Pero eso es un absurdo porque ocupa muchísimo espacio entonces llenar el disco duro de la laptop no es recomendable con tanto archivo repetido hasta que no pueda hacer separación en tiempo real no vale la pena.

It’s a fun plugin, thanks for taking a moment to comment!
