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.

[@meademorgan6614]

You guys do realize, Virtual DJ has had this feature for quite a while. And it was free, just like everything else you have to pay for with Serato is free with Virtual DJ.

[@djcarlo]

Yup, I've been hearing about it since they introduced it Meade. Though I've also heard that Serato has tried to improve their STEM system over VDJ and Traktor, so we'll see how that plays out!

[@YaBoiBlakeDub]

Facts serato is iOS virtual DJ is android

[@migats2160]

Btw I think the quality of stem separation is not dependent of the file, but on the mastering effect. It is very hard to isolate stems when there is compression.

[@djcarlo]

That’s true also. Step separation depends on a lot of things!

[@migats2160]

Also I forgot to say, most of the DJ's play the pre-master of the song. So you might be lucky.

@@snubdawg1386late reply, but probably dj pools

[@djmachado_flow]

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.

[@billpayer3745]

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.

[@djcarlo]

You're not alone there! Believe me

[@AJ_UK_LIVE]

As a long-time user of VDJ - welcome to stems, Serato people :) I exclusively mix in this way, and have done for a long time. It really revolutionises the way your mixes sound. As Carlo says though - be prepared for the fact that you will need a beastly machine to do so nicely.

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.

[@redresonant9296]

Native Instruments facilitated that with their Stems Open File Format in Traktor back in 2015 and VDJ supported it as well, but didn't catch on. But now maybe when they see what DJ's do with it, it might get a new boost.

[@mgtow-balance3409]

@@redresonant9296 yeah since they invented it, i'm hoping traktor will finally do something innovative now that stems is catching on

It would be so seamless if you could put the og stems in place of the AI separated ones so you press the same button to access them if that makes sense

Thanks Carlo, you saved me a hella money with this video. I’m a record producer and want to add djaying to the accolades. Been watching videos on what is the right gear, software and record pool. I must say your channel has been resourceful this far. I will be subscribing for your dj courses in the coming week. I additionally want to know if Crate Connect also has old school pop music, say 80s and 90s in their pool. Thanks and keep inspiring and educating. Love from Ghana. Fiifi.

[@djcarlo]

Thanks so much Fiifi! Really appreciate all the things you said. Crate Connect does, but for the older stuff, it's not as complete I'd say. There's still a pretty decent chunk though!

[@lessefrost]

Man, my first intro to even trying mixing any music ever was Fuser. This honestly gives me a lot of the same feel and it's fun. I don't think it'll replace EQing, there's some fun sounds you can get with the right EQ and pass settings that don't sound similar at all.

[@djcarlo]

I agree! It’s good to have options though l. Thankfully Serato makes this feature more approachable!

[@lessefrost]

@@djcarlo Absolutely! It feels like another (really fun!) tool to perform with. I'm super excited to see what people can do with the feature!

[@cmdess]

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.

[@djcarlo]

Indeed, it's hard to really get everything perfect with STEMs unless you have the actual master 8 track or whatnot. But hey, at least the common man can now get closer to isolation music! 😄

[@Madness915eptx]

For Pioneer DDJ controllers… you can also use Parameter buttons to isolate vocals only.

[@djcarlo]

Yup! Gave that a try before too.

[@AndrewO83]

EQ'ing is never dead and you will still need to phrase correctly, etc but stem separation for me gives way more flexibility in between mixing. I'm a rekordbox user and have a DDJ-400 and I'd LOVE this for rekordbox one day. Doing it on the fly on 1 deck > having separate components of the track in 4 decks (downloading 2-4 versions of the same song)

[@djcarlo]

TBH Andrew, I do wonder if/when Rekordbox will try their hand at STEMs haha. Would love for that to happen too!

[@AlexMoschopoulos]

I'm wondering if he more meant "EQing is dead" in terms of isolating sounds when you're mixing, like trying to do a makeshift accapella by playing with EQs. 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. Obviously Rekordbox has also done stems.

[@Fitty1cent]

Playing with Stems is a lot of fun! I've tried them all from Algoriddim DJay to Virtual DJ. But I agree with you that Serato's implementation is spot on. I like how they enhance the instumentals when you take out the vocals. A funny side effect with taking out the vocals is the spontaneous Karaoke! My family loves it! 🤩😆🤣 Another great video DJ Carlo! You content creation skills are inspiring. Thank you.

I love using the eq to do my mixing. The stems system would be better whenever Serato drops the full 3.0 update. I have the beta version, and I tried it out. I still feel that mixing with the eq is still a better option than the stems.

[@djcarlo]

100% agree there Mike! And likewise, I'm really waiting for the final build of 3.0 to see what loose ends they tie up

[@NinSevenTea]

Even if the sound quality isn't the best here and there, I'm much more interested in the techniques we can pull off with it at our fingertips!

[@DJTeddyJetts]

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.

Hit the nail on the head with your laptop capabilities, I’ve been testing beta 3.0 on a Sony with i5 processor, it plays Serato 2.6 fine but Stems is killing it, time to analyse a track can take minutes not seconds, so I’d recommend top end i7 processor or decent Mac Pro, otherwise expect to encounter difficulties.

This is for the family people. This KZbin 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.

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.

[@djcarlo]

Appreciate the kind words buddy! I try to cover as much as possible with the channel!

[@CHOKSTARmusic]

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.

Element separation is great thats its become more available to the end user.

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

[@C01dEyes]

so I have gone through a massive amount of music with this software lately just to see how it works with different types of music. What I have found is that based on the tracks recording and mixing techniques it will drastically alter the outcome. so if I take a newer song that has a lot of compression the mids don't really filter out as well but you can get a good vocal and drum track. Also if there's heavy processing on the vocals (IE auto-tune, reverb, multi-tracking) and the singing is lower in the mix the vocal stem will sound like its underwater or will have gaps. Now here's where I found the stem software really shined and that was with older recordings. I was going through tons of classics from Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Brook T, The Doobie Brothers and the list goes on. This does really well with songs that were made using older mixing and mastering techniques which has opened up a whole new world of sampling to me. it even gets cleaner separation of the stems which I was very pleasing to me since I enjoy mixing older music samples into something new.

[@djcarlo]

Oh wow, thanks for doing the research Sean! Honestly, access to the stems of the classics will be great for remixing

correction VDJ changed the game. You can apply fx to stems in VDJ also and not limited to echo out.

[@djcarlo]

That’s true but not majority of DJs use that software 😢

[@nerdverb2268]

This is not groundbreaking… this is not new… I it’s only hype because Serato is finally catching up to the app people love to hate… I’ve been using this feature for a year now and yes you still need to EQ.

[@djcarlo]

Absolutely need EQs moving forward! I'm actually excited to use EQs with Stems in the future!

[@nerdverb2268]

@@djcarlo To me VDJ is stem king 👑 most hated Dj app but has been a beast Imo.

[@carlcouture1023]

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.

[@djcarlo]

It puts quite a strain on your processors indeed. It really depends if it's up your alley of DJing or not

[@fasttrackblastback8286]

Vdj has had stems since some of its first releases, although they've expanded it recently in anticipation of other softwares addidng the feature

[@djcarlo]

it was only a matter of time before the competition caught up! Kudos to vdj for being so early!

[@buddafingaz9403]

Very crisp sounding transition between stem separation quality, and when playing each stem of a track!💯👍👌🙏😎🎵🎶🎧

[@djcarlo]

Right? I'm seriously loving the who stems revolution nowadays

[@AnujSharma-gu3is]

Um bro how can we pre-prep tracks to stem...did u mention it and I was high ,m 😜🤣

[@djcarlo]

Same as normal tracks!

[@klubstompers]

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". Just depends on the mix, and what you are trying to achieve.

[@djcarlo]

Well said bud! I do agree with you there!

[@adnanhamade9870]

Personally, the stems really really helpful for pop genre, hip hop and reggaeton mixing. Personally I use it for that although I'm electronic music dj but also fun to use in this genre as mash ups, loop mixing transition

[@djcarlo]

It’s perfect for those genres! I use it like crazy when I’m doing open format mixing

[@totheqore798]

Nice tracklist man!

[@djcarlo]

Good eye for spotting it! You paid attention!

[@DJ_Ziggy]

I like STEMS, but it's definitely still unstable. I don't see it replacing EQing tho, but it makes accapella mixes a lot easier to grasp.

[@djcarlo]

Yeah, it's still on open beta, so there's still a long way to go before Serato really finalizes the build

[@klubstompers]

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.

[@Naiceratops]

Use flac to get the most out of stem separation

[@djcarlo]

Highly lossless, and great quality file type!

Right Reagan?! Good stuff on Serato's end!

[@DJSelphi]

I like the FX pads option for the stems, which VDJ does not have. I still like being able to use the knobs for stems in VDJ and the user interface looks better imo

[@djcarlo]

True true! I'm sure Serato will keep evolving though, as VDJ leads the tech innovation side of DJing

[@djjopethiopia]

and also vdj have a fx pad option fot stem.

[@ExitPlanetDust]

also, only Serato Pro has the FX pads option, Serato Light doesnt seem to have it.

[@kudamah]

VDJ does hv stems fx as a separate pad mode and they have more that what serato is offering. In fact u can add any effect to any of the stems in vdj.

[@DJChrisYee]

Nice tracklist!

[@djcarlo]

Hehehe, thanks Chris! 😄

[@crayZAA]

[@bradfordnichols390]

well that is what is tech for, keep on advancing, there comes a day when dj will be A.I. too

[@djcarlo]

Gotta still keep that human element in there Bradford! Maybe AI will get close, but nothing can replace the human touch

[@darktherapy]

It makes you wonder if record producers will separate elements of their tracks and let you download them individually, or allow you to access these Stem files from them directly with perfect separation. As they’ll see it as another selling point for DJ’s

[@djcarlo]

That would be an interesting way to market their tracks to remixers actually

[@philanderson3533]

NI tried it with Traktor years ago, you could buy tracks with 4 separate files and tracks that you could use much better , it was on the S8 but no one bothered buying the Stem files and it never took off, sounded much better as well. This on the fly stuff has has been on VDJ and Algorhythms software for ages, not sure what the hype with Serato is tbh, still sounds pretty bad.

[@darktherapy]

@@philanderson3533 I’ve not used VDJ personally, but does that only remove vocals for karaoke etc?

[@tonykellydjt2805]

Tracklib provides stems on certain songs.

[@redresonant9296]

@@darktherapy No VDJ has pad mode and also mapped on EQ knobs if you want, so can bring the vocals a bit forward or backward instead of removing them. Also there are 2 mode, a simple and more advanced giving you more seperation options. The karaoke support on VDJ is something different, but with stems you could to take any song and just push the vocals as far back as you want depending on the singer.
