MPC STEMS

"Cause I've got new Dance right now" this was the type of recording that was part of trying to catch a "Dance Craze" theme, EG: Funky Chicken, Tighten Up etc...

[@Noise-Conductor]

From NYC & I wouldn't shake a stick at this feature or your demo of it. I'll pass the link around. Peace & Happy New Year!

[@desue]

is it possible to CHOP a Sample, convert it to a program and then control the different stem layers afterwards ? actually just like "Serato stems" chop the sample, sequence it and mute vocals, drums on the whole sample (on every chop at the same time) afterwards as needed. is that possible ?

[@r2eq80]

This is beyond INSANE!!! I`ve not long since seen an AI program that can do this and was impressed with that......now that function is in my MPC....Jesus wept!!!!!

[@opticalman6417]

was it rip x ?

[@joserivera1054]

Love it already. Can't wait to get the final product in February and March for my Mpc. Great job Tube. Got me doing a dance right now! Lol.

[@klisher]

"cause my suit is all damp right now" 🤣🤣

[@chrismorale_]

In America, it's usually more ____ than you can shake a stick at. It's to indicate abundance. But I do have a new dance right now. I'm so tempted to get this or looked for that unnamed program to stem songs. I used do the phaser trick with the instrumental and original to get just an Acapella.

[@treschlet]

Didn't expect to see some new MPC software today. Cool stuff, thanks for the overview! I love that you're using some really varied samples. Also, had a laugh at some of the wonky stuff, so no worries there :) I do hope that you're doing okay out there, though and I'm glad you're still jammin' with us, despite the wonk

[@ArcadeCreative]

I was looking for announcements coming from a huge event and saw the announcement. Since, great vids and got me hyped, this video somehow put me at comfort after all the hype. I enjoyed the hype though, this deserves hype.

[@REMRODFILMS]

Serato sample is still smashing this! this will only be great for stand alone

[@dariojavierperazagarcia1887]

Hello, on my mpc the stems creator menu is not there. I have the latest update 2.12.3 and it is not visible. I need help

[@TUBEDIGGA]

As said in the video, it's not officially out until Feb

Gracias👍🏻

[@Ripstar1971]

When in controller mode on Beats…why can’t it see installed hard drives on my MPC one…..any ideas?

[@paulstephenson3867]

Excellent video with the detailed TD delivery!!

[@MrKAIROLAVO3]

It's mid march and have yet to see it on the site. Is there a delay in the release? @tubedigga

[@neilloughran4437]

Really cool to see this tech as it is something we've all thought about for decades. Interesting that it is not available in standalone mode yet... As the MPC is using pretty old hardware at this point I'm wondering how fast the stem analysis/generation will be. There's obviously a difference between something like a modern M series mac and the technology inside a 2017 piece of hardware. Will be interesting what Akai come up with... will people will be willing to wait many minutes or just resort to using a computer anyway? Could there also be a cloud option (e.g. like LALA AI) for those kinds of processes anyway? Also I agree that have more options in the stem separation screen is needed.

[@mrrafsk]

Been using ripX for stem separation, (very cpu heavy), half the time the lifts still have a flange/phase or pumping due to how the tunes been mixed. Nevertheless the software is really nice to be able to manually separate elements of a sound if the algorithm gets it wrong, as well as midi note extraction, and ok retime stretching if that’s your thing. Cleaning up the separations I find best with effects like you used, subtle chorus/reverb/distortion can hide artefacts, as well as eq’ing the different layers and then mixing them back together.

[@TUBEDIGGA]

I couldn’t get into RipX. I found the interface very clunky and the results were substandard. Had a much better experience with Serato Studio.

[@mrrafsk]

@@TUBEDIGGA I haven't used Serato Studio, but surprised that t did a better job, when it hasn't got many features like a spectrum editor etc.I originally found ripx good with flacs/wavs but not good with compressed, but they did update their algorithm and I got better. AFAIK applications use whatever algorithm won last years "sony's remixing contest".

[@bh760]

“Coz I got a new desk right now”💯 it’s from the old Ikea song from the 50s

[@janolat2519]

Great video! Thx for checking the stems stuff out. Sounds really interesting. I was wondering about the quality of the source signal as well. Thx for chjecking that out!

[@andrewrussell9967]

Excellent vid as always TD, was looking forward to your take on the new tool. My auntie gave me Covid for Christmas, lots of time to play right now.

[@EarlDeanmusic]

He’s actually saying because I’ve got a new dance right now. at least that’s what it sounds like he saying.. this is an awesome new feature. I can’t wait for them to release it.

[@jasondugas8184]

Great video as usual. Great lesson on why using high quality samples, i.e. sampling vinyl vs. youtube, has real world consequences. Keep bangin!!!

[@sodiumlights]

Will they include the OG Live on the roll out?

[@andrewrussell9967]

Some gold nuggets sprinkled in this vid kids, beyond the rare TD comedy. Thinking I'm sticking with MPC 2 btw....)

[@chriscrossley671]

@TUBEDIDDA Your videos should be part of the National Curriculum.

[@pool_up__]

how did you record the mpc screen?

[@Too_many_chiefs]

Wow thanks for this! And thanks for this channel!! Just found it, might dust off my Mpc now 🎉 bless brother

[@glenorpheus]

Coz I've got a new dance right now ? The Digga strikes again with another real world test and examples, showing the people what to really expect and keeping it real. We don't need no Andy Mac examples, however i might add, he has no choice but to show the MPC in it's best light. Interested to know where you met my Aunty........Yeah Boiy (",)

[@bogard08]

“Cause I got a new dance right now”

[@PylonRecordsdotcom]

You need to be connected to the computer, in controller mode, otherwise its going to sound horrible, there is no way in standalone mode it can do a great job, the cpu is not strong enough, this is the same thing when you Elastic Pro and Pro Ten night and day difference. This feature has been in Cubase for several years already, just dont understand why Akai can not address the converter issue, it seems like we just working in the DAW again with all these mpc as super midi controllers.

[@ArcadeCreative]

Man good deed done with this video. No, this helped me out with a few thoughts. Sorted me out and grounded solid.

[@mrrafsk]

Did I hear you have a Deluge now? Holy moley I want to see you chop on that, as that’s not something I’ve worked out well.

[@ram_frog]

I was beginning to think you were sort of done with the MPC, glad you were able to get your hands on this and looking forward to more MPC content, I hope they drop some more cool stuff this year.

[@dustinisnotcooler]

He uses the Akai Force to DJ with. Last time I checked, that's an MPC (same software).

[@ram_frog]

@@dustinisnotcooler Word. Yeah, I started following him for MPC content when I got my Live 2 a few years back and I guess I just meant he hasn't been posting a lot of MPC content lately. I've seen him use more Maschine or other stuff even on IG posts. I just thought he'd maybe just parted ways a bit, so to speak. I'm glad that's not the case.

[@TUBEDIGGA]

Very much not done with the MPC. I make music and play live with my MPC One. I’ve just not been active on here. I get asked a ton of questions that require detailed answers. Whilst I can still do some, I can’t do the sheer amount I get for free. That’s just here, I also get loads of emails. It’s great but I have to charge for it, limited time and small mouths to feed!

[@Reggi_Sample]

@@TUBEDIGGAthe man the myth the legend. Can we still get your alter egos, pure comedy😂

[@Wizz6768]

HEY Tubedigga, with some eq I think that second sample break could be usable mate!!!!!!!

[@TUBEDIGGA]

Yeah possibly. I stemmed out a different break today that had similar artefacts and used some simple eq and it sounded decent. Result vary wildly depending on each exported element.

[@peleuno]

Tubedigga is hilarious!

[@micindir4213]

Hey Tubedigga! I know you answered before, but how do you do screen capture of the MPCs screen? The stem feature is absolutely killer shit. Its way beyond anyones creativity. There are no excuses for not writing absolutely mindblowing music!

[@pelvinsjamz]

Totally awesome! 🔥🙏😎 and thanks for trying some difficult samples

[@Bendy2K]

Anyone know what the free stem seperator he's talking about is?

[@discowolf25]

There’s no good free one. Do you have an iPad? I’ll plug you to the 4$ serato…

[@Bendy2K]

No iPad sadly. Working with Ableton and Windows 10.

[@TUBEDIGGA]

Serato Studio is free with minor limitations, but stem separation is included.

[@Bendy2K]

✌🏼

[@lesperluettedupigeonnier3120]

I'll be able to make stems with improbable records, it's wonderful!

[@TeslaDanser]

Cool. Does it rely on centre panned vox?

[@TUBEDIGGA]

No. It just spits out up to 4 files and if the vocals happen to be on one side more than the other you just get a separated version of that which you can convert to mono thereafter.

[@wul01]

Just used koala to split the Sample at 10:43 results were pretty much identical to yours . Are they charging for what is essentially free and open source code, I wonder?

[@MattUncertified]

It's going to be $9.99, which is absolutely fine. While the source code may be free and open source - not sure how true that is here - Akai have had to develop it into the MPC OS, which isn't free. They have a right to charge and it's peanuts.

[@wul01]

@@MattUncertifiedtend to agree on that , but when it’s for a core function as opposed to a plugin , it’s what we call in engerland “the thin adage of the wedge”

[@BeatsByGemsmiff]

Dear TubeDigga, You are one of the most Knowledgeable MPC users i know why aren’t you making content for the MPC like you used to? And leave our Aunties out of this

[@TUBEDIGGA]

Partly because I gave away a lot of my special techniques a few years back and struggling to find anything new or groundbreaking to share. That's what used to keep me excited about making KZbin videos. I'm not very good at doing videos again from different perspectives, just for the sake of playing the numbers game and knocking out content. Also, I receive tons of tech support questions and other queries on here, Instagram, FB and email and simply had to monetise my work. Having 26K subs might sound ok to some but it generates less than $80 per month and at some point for reasons unknown, my videos weren't getting many views and it's a bit soul destroying when you've spent all that time working on them. I have a family to look after and nobody pays me for my time answering tons of in depth questions each day as if I'm employed by Akai Pro. But I hope to produce more for the channel this year. This feature will get a good bit of exposure as there's some good ideas I have for how to use it in less conventional ways. Thanks for the comment 👊

[@BeatsByGemsmiff]

@@TUBEDIGGA I totally respect it🫡 best of luck with your endeavours.

[@thevco]

@@themrworldwide thanks respect 👍

[@NightShooTier]

I can imagine a little bit of reverb could help to mask the artifacts

[@aikighost]

Also a transient shaper can add back quite a bit of punch to extracted drums that sound "phasery"

[@SlaserX]

Wait, this is a paid update? This is literally the first place I've heard that. Is it $9.99 or $999?

[@TylerDurdenXIII]

I have exactly the same thing, even better on Serato and Fl studio and completely free. Why does Akai, which is late in this area, make us users pay 10 Bucks? I find it small and petty

[@TUBEDIGGA]

It does just as good job (albeit with limited options to adjust the result, but that may change) as Serato Studio (free version) plus it’ll exist inside the MPC, initially the software and eventually in standalone. I think $10 is more than reasonable for this upgrade, there’s no hardware that currently does this. They could include it for free but maybe they want to show the value in it, rather than give people the impression it’s a low value bolted on feature they can give away. Who knows? Maybe the $10 is the price you have to pay to get it first for MPC software and it’ll be free for standalone and included in MPC 3.0, whenever that comes.

[@a.k.8731]

Thank you so much!

[@jup24-7]

It's going to be $9.99 in February.

[@PhuccjooMann]

Aren’t Tubedigga and Andy Mac the same person?

“Stems” is a bad name for this program.. stems is already the name for audio files that are saved out of a computer or MPC drum machine. Why not call it something else?:-0 like ISO’s?:-0

[@TUBEDIGGA]

A stem is a universally used and understood term for an isolated audio file that is part of a larger group of other audio files that when combined form the main mix. The term is used in the music industry and post-production/film/tv industry. There isn’t another appropriate term that concisely conveys what this function produces.
