This is the clearest separation I have heard from records. This is going to be a great tool to use. Endless possibilities to do with your production. Gives you ideas to do whether you sample or play your own instruments it gives you the ideas to go create

[@malobeats]

I don’t have too much experience with other stem separation software, but this here sounds as good as it gets to me and definitely makes me rethink on the way I’ll be sampling from now on

[@supermcfly100]

@@malobeatsI use Moises with koala, serato sample, fl. I’ve learned the stems come out better when the songs have the exact elements the stem separation is looking for. If not, it’s going to sound lower quality.

[@BausikFilmCo]

Agreed

[@mojodrum3215]

@@supermcfly100could you clarify what you mean by exact elements, thanks

[@kennethbeavers6903]

​@malobeats I've been hearing about stems but never had the chance to investigate due life,the passing of my Mom and recently getting married. I ran across this video today and Wow! Man I'm as stoked as you are. Do you have to buy a new MPC or is there some way to get it for the MPC Live 2 ??😊

[@MatthewStratton]

I am actually surprised in how good this sounds from your examples. Thanks for sharing. Stay up!

[@malobeats]

Hey Matthew, thank you brother there really means a lot coming from you. Nothing but love and blessings to you.

[@qvolecompa]

I’ve learned a lot from the both of you ! Salute 🫡

[@coldskoolbeatz]

I'm actually very surprised Akai didn't send you an early copy.🤔

[@ultimatepu5h]

I have no clue why yesterday I was getting MPC stems vids recommended to me when I have nothing to do with making music, but I couldn't tell what the hell was going with stems whatever they're lol. I came back today to find out and you explained it perfectly! That's pretty amazing that it can isolate different parts of music that you sample! Cheers!

[@reddeadryan78]

I'm glad he mentioned Zzounds. It's so awesome all you need is a bank account/debit card and you can have all the dream studio equipment you've always wanted. No interest, all you do is choose a plan like, 3 months-12 months and it breaks down the payments and takes it from your account until it's paid off. No credit check, it's called "pay as you play" or something. Your gear will arrive at your house literally next day. I wouldn't have all my pro studio gear without them. I sound like a commercial or paid to say this stuff but i'm not. Just really happy they exist.

[@malobeats]

You could have not said it any better. 90% of my studio bill has been through zzounds. SO to them for always looking out for us 🫡

[@homeboy740]

I was totally amazed. I watched the video with headphones so I could judge the quality of the isolated tracks more precisely. You can seriously work with this. The quality is absolutely top. This is a new era in music production. The price is customer-friendly and like a gift. Can't wait to test and work with it myself. Thank you for the sound examples.

[@georgegeez8708]

Man, this is going to take my sampling of old vinyl records to another level. Stuff that I wanted to use before but couldn't is going to be revisited now. I already started taking records out of my collection to resample and revisit old tracks that I made dating back to the 90s. It's a wrap.

[@TimTimDatsYou]

What’s ya ig do you post ya work

[@InsideOutBeats]

Standalone cant come quick enough, I'm grinning from ear to ear anticipating the creative possibilities!!!! Lets go!!!

[@Becauseimme]

I can’t believe how clean it is, imagine what Dilla would have done with this technology?!!!

[@dn30001]

He was already a beast without it while doing it. Example: De La Soul's Much More. He somehow separated Jeffrey Osborne's vocals from the sample in Love Ballad. 😮

[@charlesmosley8378]

Serato Sample changed the game with stems but now that it is inside the MPC.....it's a wrap. This sounds really good.

[@TheEdub1]

So many things I wanted to sample but couldn't take out the drums or certain pieces. I can't wait for this to be ready for my Standalone!

[@boombapunitclassone]

🥰 me too!

[@regalmonkmusic]

The fun you have creating really shines thru in your videos. My reactions are similar, at times I react when you do lol. It's really refreshing. Akai's stem separation sounds REALLY good! Salute to you Malo, you're appreciated 🙏🏿

[@digitalkmultimedia]

Bravo to Akai. They understand their customers want ongoing new features. And they keep delivering update after update. If they keep this integrity, I am a life long customer and fan. Quality stem separation is huge!

[@gnawvy]

Man I love the Spanish albums you choose more than anything. They are always so good

[@RhyBeats]

I’m super excited for the MPC Stems. I’ve been using the Serato stems and recording it in the MPC. Definitely a game changer

[@InsideOutBeats]

Same, so excited for the standalone version, creativity going through the roof!

[@dariuseviltwin]

👀 Woah can't believe they sound so clean. All those records that had slamming drums but "ruined" by an enthusiastic bassist are saved! Haha. Sure, Stems has been a thing for a time now, but to utilize the technology without leaving the MPC is a workflow and creative game changer! Hyped.

[@simonbingham3394]

My musical glands have not salivated such moist buckets of spit over new tech in many many moons.

[@PRODUCEDBYAD]

Man with the way akai has been updating standalone I don't think I'll ever need to upgrade my MPC until the day my live 2 dies. If standalone sounds that good that is insane how well it compares to daws and plugins

[@theonecalledvino8165]

That separation is Loco. I gonna dissect some of my old school tracks and resample myself.

[@siaseeds8950]

wow they really did a fantastic job. To my ears it sounds even better than what you get with iZotope RX which is by far the most expensive software for stem separation.

[@bglasss]

It is so much fun just watching Malo have fun with this 😆

[@malobeats]

Yo, this is deep thank you so much for Vibin out with me. ❤️🫡

[@rolbar5723]

Very powerful. You can now sample 99 percent more music.

[@uniquebeatsboutique]

It's like being there in the studio with the artist hearing it come together. Hearing every element of my pieces of vinyl will be an new amazing experience. Cheers to living in the future!

[@as-zs5nk]

Ive been using the moises software to separate stems this whole time and I swear the sound quality of MPC stems is surprisingly better, I WAS NOT expecting this

So they bring back it back to the 90’s yes!! I love it!! I still have my old MPC & I got new one

[@arijr71]

Thank you - great video & music! Can't wait to get using Stems on my MPC-1. At least from this edited video the separation results sound really good! This field of research (audio/music source separation) has been under quite an interest during the last 10 years, and this goes right to the top. Well done Akai! 💯

[@michaelbarnes8750]

Akai has changed the game I love it

[@Sorcerers_Apprentice_11]

Ayyy Malo is a real one. Love seeing that enthusiasm. Can't fucking wait to get crazy with this update. I wish they would have just dropped it out the blue! The wait is killing me already.

[@Johnnyfivekicks]

Yo! That first sample was fire!!! Hope you did something with those chops! I’m so excited about this! I held off on getting Serato or one of the other stem separators for two reasons, I’m new and wanted to get better at sampling old school, put in the work. I had a feeling Akai would drop this sooner or later. This is gonna be amazing! Great video, keep up the good work man!

[@lindasson]

Great video showing what it sounds like bro! I saw the email saying it won't be available until March, so until then I'll continue to use Serato in my workflow with my X SE 🙏🏾✊🏾💚

[@stevekirkby6570]

It's got to be the best stem isolator I've heard :)

[@Bezz_Jeens]

When this was first announced, I have to say I was EXTREMELY skeptical of this, I've used a lot of stem separation software and only a few programs can really make something overall usable. Most are OK at removing vocals or isolating vocals, but pretty rough with everything else. You can use them, you just have to beef up the sample or use the best little parts where there aren't a ton of weird artifacts or bleed. I also didn't think that this was going to be usable standalone. However, it actually sounds pretty fantastic, up there with some of the best and just a step below the Serato stem tools. If Akai could just work on the time-stretch algorithm a little bit, I think this new crop of MPCs would be the top of basically every individual sampler criteria ranking. Definitely puts me over the edge on getting one. EDIT: was too busy typing to realize you weren't using it in standalone mode. Personally, this is pretty much moot if it's not this quality in standalone. If you're going to be on your computer anyway, there are better, cheaper, faster, and cleaner stem separation options out there. If Akai really does pull off this level of refinement in the standalone version of this program, then I'll get a One+ on the spot. However, I have some doubts that it will work as well, I just don't think they'll be able to get the processing power needed to do it. I think it will get a standalone version that works kind of poorly and for the better quality, you'll have to hook into the computer.

[@LockiesHouse]

Dude, you get so emotional.. .. I love it 😀....great work 👏

[@malobeats]

Hahah man, this thank you and it’s hard to hide the excitement. 🫡

[@deskotheque]

WOW. The chosen tracks are great pearls to dig through. Can you share some names of the Artists?

[@dafunkycanuck]

Great breakdown on this, thanks. Sounds quite good.

[@VACAYJAYTV]

New Sub!! Just finding you. Bro love the love you have for the art of sampling. As a producer of beats from the 90’s MPC Stems is blowing my mind. QUESTION: Can you use MPC stems on an MPC 5000? If not what MPC similar to MPC 5000 would you recommend? Making me jump back in the game frfr! Thx familia! Salute 🫡 💯

[@digitalkmultimedia]

You really covered the new feature well. Nice example after example. And genuine vibe of having fun.

[@glenfordgreen3277]

Perhaps we are all overlooking some important points concerning MPC Stems. For me, I will appreciate, and learn more about the incredible musicianship of the Artists I intend to sample.

Amazing steams!

[@prodbyskuzz]

This is so sick, can't wait to try once it comes out.

[@djspair]

I use Neural Mix and Serato stems, but this sounds so much better. AKAI really put some work into this one. Not to mention to you are the first producer I've seen demonstrating this new feature who is actually sampling vinyl oppose to some pre balanced Splice loop.

[@shark6350]

I just ordered my mpc one plus... perfect timing

[@donartyone3258]

Malo! Please tell Akai about my request to add the option to stem out sample chops to the 4 sample slots of the pads within the same program. Having separate programs for each stem layer is great but not always ideal. The added flexibility of my request makes sense for this feature.

[@traplordyunza2738]

You motivated me to explore the stem separation feature fl studio added。

[@matthewvarendorff3502]

I think in many cases if you heard the original vocals on many mixes you’d hear bleeding of the mix from the headphones. So the fact you don’t even hear that says to me that this technique is even cleaner than using the original stems.

[@skinnydog148]

I am surprised that this price is not subscription. I commend Akai for being a game changer.

[@passdadoughnuts2299]

I can't wait. Great job Akai. Great video MaloBeats. Luv your vids. Your enthusiasm and vibe is awesome!

[@topnetworkersgroup]

I've def enjoyed his vids too

[@Danzino82]

I think an update on the pitch and tempo features; similar to Serato would put Akai at the top of the pile for sampling experience. I might be wrong. An update to the piano roll with something to help create chords and progressions would shut the game down.

[@DJNinoKorta]

You Give Me Positive Energy Malo, Thank's a Lot ! ;)

[@bglasss]

I currently use RipX for stem separation on my pc, which utilizes my gpu that has xxx CUDA cores and 12gb of ram…. This sounds way better!!! I am so excited for this feature! Thanks for this news Malo! Appreciate your creativity, and enthusiasm for beat making!

[@JackRiddle999]

now every record will be a drum break 🤣🤣 honestly so excited for this bro

[@supernatural802]

oh wow. AKAI gone and done the damn thing and done it good. The separation sounds WAY better than i thought it would like really really useable. As i understand it you will not even need the MPC hardware to get the stems as it runs in the free software. If that's the case then I will be able to grab stems all day long for dropping them into the Ableton or my KO2 :)

[@LucaBrasiDrunkCatPaw]

Yo! Seems awesome feature. I have used online stems for learning tracks and making simple remixes. I havent tried it for beatmaking yet, im afraid like this suddenly opens so many doors and id feel lost. Kinda like, ok ilma get the sample and use my own drums, but then again i have the access to the drum track also.. so its gonna be a lot of choosing what to use and whats the main purpose. There are times when we only want a certain thing but its gotta be tempting to take more stuff as it is available, there is so much you can do with that also etc... its like working with a whole Web of the original track.

[@DjCutman]

any MPC users out there can explain how he's using the MPC One in Standalone mode but also has the interface up on the computer? I thought that only worked in controller mode.

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, I’m actually hooked up via USB. Not sure the cable is not coming out in the video shot, but I am using it in controller mode. 🫡🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha]

Sounds really nice. I have been messing with Gaudio Studio Stem Separation and its ok, usually one stem out of every song is messed up though. This looks alot better, well done Akai. Can't wait to get this rockin on Standalone MPC.

[@Pgtips1o1]

I'm pretty sure you can get the mps akia software you don't need the hardware just better hands on feeling the dials !

[@Webzterr]

[@Brain1962]

Maybe the tracks do sound clean once separated, but we don’t know if the tracks were cleaned up before the presentation. Would make a better video presentation if so …

[@malobeats]

It’s definitely not perfect, there are some tracks where it’s just not something I would pass, but I think it does a decent job when you feed it some good quality music

[@AnalogDude_]

Will this be a new device or will stems be available in the next update? Sound really cool to isolate parts from a sample.

[@So5aBe4tS]

There is some good stem software out there, dont get me wrong, but Akai I think, correct me if I am wrong. Is the first to incorporate it in a midi pad which can be standalone. I have a MPC live 2, and this is a game changer for real!!!!
