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!

[@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

[@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 🙏🏿

[@InsideOutBeats]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 🫡

[@charlesmosley8378]

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

[@gnawvy]

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

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. ❤️🫡

[@KingHanma]

THANK YOU for doing this. I needed to hear more. This is great and for sure good enough for me and a great starting point for AKAI. Its only going to get better. I cant wait to get this.💪🏾

[@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!

[@bensilberstein816]

Awesome video, just cool to see the joy on your face as you chop these up. Your passion for music is evident and appreciated

[@deirellbyrd6770]

I haven’t been this excited in a while! Thanks for sharing Malo!

[@reanmed]

I've seen a lot of videos about stems, none was and is so clearly explained, thank you thank you wow

[@simonbingham3394]

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

[@theonecalledvino8165]

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

[@as-zs5nk]

Your enthusiasm is contagious. I am hitting the thrift store for some crate diggin'.

[@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.

[@KayakCampingOffGrid]

How FUN is it to see you having fun man!!!

[@malobeats]

This truly means a lot. Thank you for mentioning ❤️🫡

[@MookieFlex]

Malo out here answering the questions we all had! Akai did a great job with this one 👏

[@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.

[@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! 💯

[@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.

[@mackie32x48]

Wow!!! That is awesome for a great take at home package. Couldn't do this 10 years ago...

[@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. 😮

[@randomguy6127]

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

[@Suavay5]

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

[@isaacphillips8724]

Me Too. I still have my old MPC 60 2!!!

[@1208aa]

I love how Malo stays true to his culture. Respect bro.

[@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!

[@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 🫡 💯

[@pumadown1943]

The Emotions sounded real good! I hope this can be used for the MPC Touch

Hey, thank you so much for sharing this feedback here. I really appreciate you taking the time.

[@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

[@malobeats]

Hey, thanks!🙏

[@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.

[@roymoxley2587]

I’m not too familiar with other third-party programs that do stem separation, but this sounds very good to me. Thank you for taking the time and watching a video brother.

[@sundalo916]

Cant wait for this! Also, dope hat! I need one of those lol

[@MightyD18]

Dope Vide Malo!! Its gunna be interesting to see how the conversion works when sampling from vinyl thats been recorded with L/R channels! Does the MPC sum it up? Is it Left?! Right?

[@sudokubeat]

Another gr8 upgrade, for me a game changer ( even though stems separation is available for some time now ) all in ONE ❤ Malo will You have some discount reference to this ? 😊

[@PuffinPass]

Great vid and thanks for showing the separations on their own. So does this work with any audio file, like could it separate movie elements and dialog from a file?

[@malobeats]

Thank you for watching and yes that’s also going to work

[@deskotheque]

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

[@ColdmanBeats]

Impresionante 🤯🤯🤯

[@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 !

[@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.

[@topnetworkersgroup]

Will stems work across all MPC standalones when it's released later? (for the MPC One, Live, etc...) thanks

[@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!

[@Burnay]

thanks for showing us it! appreciate bro, i also have another question related to headphones, I noticed you usually use the AIAIAI, and i'm wondering if it's worth to get it. I want it for mixing mastering and also DJing, but mostly for mixing and mastering. Are the AIAIAI better in your opinion comparing for example to the Beyerdynamic dt-770 pro or dt-990? Do you think the 100$ difference from aiaiai to beyerdynamic is worth it? Thanks a lot bro!

[@Yoshi-Veg]

Will this work with all samples and not only what's imported from a record? For instance my son is obsessed with frozen, can i put the song on SD , chop up all the stems seperate and completely remix everything for him??

[@stilltrippin6100]

MAN THE EXCITEMENT ON YOUR FACE IS PRICELESS .. I CANT WAIT TO ENJOY THE SAME SENTIMENTS 🤣 ✌🏾 AND THANKS FOR SHARING as always

[@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!!!!

[@trickfall8752]

I can't wait to check this out.

[@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 :)

One of the best decisions you can make when it comes down to sampling. It is not as convenient, but the joy you get from digging through records is uncomfortable. I have a link down in the description of this video with a great starter turntable alongside with the cables you will need.
