[@scrummyvision]

damn, teaser vid. i check every day if it's been released.

[@The_Sonic_Ally]

workflow has become so so good ! epic time to be with mpc.

[@TommyTrentonJr]

Jesus this has been the slowest frickin wait I have ever experienced IN my life. I feel like a crackhead.... I NEED STEMS - LMAO

[@mont-doggBeats]

I swear, they must be about to drop one big major update because im trying to understand why announce stems and then wait an entire month plus to release it in an update

[@blackjedimaster]

​@@mont-doggBeatsYES SIR!!!!!

[@TommyTrentonJr]

@@mont-doggBeats exactly! Since i heard stems was coming to mpc, I've already produced an entire boom bap album that I just finished today. And stems still ain't here. Im so fired up and ready

[@hakeemer6688]

@@mont-doggBeatsapparently they wanted it to be flawless. But lowkey I like that, especially if it’s paid. I just been bouncing between fl21 and isotope😂

[@boomboombaby9140]

Exactly, koala sampler which is a 5 dollar app been had stem separation and the quality of the app sound similar to the MPC .

[@tonyg1997]

I just started using key groups so I really appreciate that button placement

[@darthknowl9222]

I need to get into that

[@ceciliafbrown373]

Thanks for sharing Marco! Looking forward for when its released.

[@mpchead]

Yes, almost there.

[@brianhubbard7492]

It’s a myth 😂

[@gwsound]

looking forward to it. It changed my Dj-ing for good since DJay launched their improved stems 4 months ago.

[@jimmypierson1980]

It's crazy to think about when you pause a moment. This technology, being able to convincingly separate stems, just shattered every frontiers for sampling. Everything can be redone, any sample

[@billB101]

I've been doing this with Lalal for a while now ( I consider this to be the best algo out there. ) There are still some things you can't get pull out of samples. Getting better all the time though.

[@0072gldnfngr]

😂😂 I thought it was out. Had me excited!

[@federicogallotti6896]

same here :(

[@mrgss3363]

All isolation programs have artifacts depending on the music used. Try a file with fuller orchestrations and more crossing frequencies

[@BladeTheMotovlogger]

Just wish they get it out already. This is why I hate that companies announce stuff before it’s actually ready.

[@keithprice1950]

Of course they announce it. It's called marketing.

[@BladeTheMotovlogger]

@@keithprice1950 Yeah it works out great when it’s done right. Hopefully it’s worth the wait.

[@kroser1983]

I just care about the stand-alone implementation. I don’t care for the software. The wait is killing me

[@djnes2k7]

@@keithprice1950no need to market a free update for months in advanced. And it’s corny marketing, they basically just gave it to KZbinrs. Should’ve just dropped a demo

[@raylopez4782]

You have to pay $10.00 every month for stems 😢

[@fredbeezy]

Yeah that is pretty dope!!

[@philippebackprotips]

Wow. Cool! Take my money already!

[@mrgss3363]

Try to use warp with your stem layers and adjust the projects tempo...

[@darthknowl9222]

Can’t wait till it drops

[@brianhubbard7492]

Every KZbinr got access except public . But they use them to promote something on the false pretense. I’m done with the click bait hype from KZbinrs on this. Unnecessary if you ain’t ready for primetime you ain’t ready for primetime..

[@seymourgreen-musicgroup]

When will STEMS be available to the general public? I've only seen KZbinrs with relationships with Akai that have access to the program so far. I've heard the others say that there are glitches and that Akai has backed off the release date.

[@e-conrecords4665]

No doubt this video will trigger dudes on the Facebook MPC forums 😂

[@blkgostnone4092]

Always can keep using Serato in the meantime 💪🏾

[@simcitybigworldmedia]

Yeah we don't want glitches I'd rather they delay it coming out

[@billB101]

You're always going to get glitches with this. Some instruments are right in the same frequency as vocals ( horns for example and certain percussion element that frequency mask ) AI is getting better but it's not perfect at pulling complete tracks out of a tune by any stretch.

[@billB101]

Be interesting to compare the results with Lalal

[@NinoTritone]

Hi, this is more in tune with how I would want to use something like this so this is great, would you be able to say if you can do this and then copy the pad chop to another chop, and use different paramaters adjusting the levels like you did here differently for each copy individually without it affecting the original pad? Would effectively allow something like a low pass or high pass copy of pad without having to make a seperate program and use a plugin filter on each.

[@mpchead]

Yes you can do it, that's how I approach it too

[@NinoTritone]

@@mpchead Awesome thanks!

[@TechTronix01]

Is there a way of chopping something like normal and stem all the chops so every pad has 4 layers straight away. Or do I have to chop it convert to programme, and then stem each pad. That way I can lay something down like normal and then turn down certain elements on certain chops.. could do this after the fact. But I was wondering if I'm missing something?

[@mpchead]

There's no quick way unfortunately, either do it that way or slice everything first then stem the sample. The slices get attributed to the stems. Ill make a video on this

[@K-MoBeatz]

Very interesting but in a dope way.

[@InsideOutBeats]

Can’t bloody wait but I’m only standalone on Mpc Live so probs gotta wait a bit more 😢

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

When Marlow, when!? :D When!!!!!!

I can't say, it should be soon I hope.

can you do a video breakdown on you connect your MPC to the Elektron analog heat. how you print? with the effect on. im finding some trouble using the effects

[@brausepaul313]

Nelly Furtado lyrics in my head.... GIVE IT TO ME, GIVE IT TO ME, GIVE IT TO ME :D

[@Blogspierre]

The recent Andy Mack / Illa J stems demo had hella artifacts. Sounded no better than Koala. They ACTED like it sounded perfect, LOL. Anyway I believe it has to do w/ compression. They used an iPhone to sample in. Raw vinyl in has much greater dynamic separation, so that might be the difference. 🎉

[@blkgostnone4092]

Yeah called them out on that a few times Illa got a check every time he said “cleeeeeeean” Can’t separate pink paint to white and red without traces It’s just a video to fool the populace into believing stems will only be on the latest and greatest 37 🙄

[@brandonsmith2594]

This is dope

[@mpbangamusic9673]

Sounds dope...Standalone version will be a killer

[@jcp813productions]

After stem separation and if something wasn’t removed completely, like that sound with the vocal, can u then take that new sample, maybe apply a little eq and whatever, then try and stem it again to get closer to removing that extra sound completely or do u think that’s a waste of time??

[@PylonRecordsdotcom]

Just to be clear, the mpc needs to be in the Controller Mode, which means things are going to sound as good as what your audio interface is, the problem is going to be when you go to standalone mode with these stems they are NOT going to sound the same, and with the converters in the MPC being just average, you can hear the difference. Akai is NOT going to be able to give stem separation in standalone mode because it uses tremendous amount of CPU, hence the controller mode. Lastly stem separation is been available in Cubase for over 5 years, and it is still the gold standard, specially if you go the Spectral Analyzer, you will have optimum quality of the original file source. I just wish they create a proper stand alone machine so we dont have to connected to the computer. Make s flagship mpc with NONE of the plugins and bells and whistles and with the same work flow and bad ass converter, It can be done look at what Dave Rossum is doing with the SP-1200. Thank you for all your videos, they are great as usual.

[@MainConceptMedia]

If they gave even a gig more of ram they could....but that would make other devices that are supposed to be better less...so won't happen... For instance...key 37...they give more ram then the key 61ers are like wtf...I just pId all this for what!!!

[@rashadhaynes5690]

So it's just up in the wind right now. We are just on standby until they announce it is out

[@beataddiktgodd]

Greetings, what kind of camera are you using and what tripod are you using for you over head shot?

[@mpchead]

I use the black magic 6kpro. And the tripod has an horizontal neck grip, I can remember the brand now

[@beataddiktgodd]

@@mpchead Thanks for the quick response and your content is amazing and remarkable. Continue to build!

[@nrgskillmedia]

the absence of artifacts is a trade-off, you can hear those air instruments in the voice stem, obviously because they are in the same range of dominant frequencies, Akai prefers not to separate sounds. That's why you don't hear artifacts.

[@mpchead]

Yes that's right. I prefer it like this than having a bunch of unusable sounds.

[@stilltrippin6100]

Man I hope they can get it right … ✌🏽

[@illanoiz1]

I just wanna know when we’re gonna get it???

[@bboymac84]

If the standalone will sound like this, the MPC sales will increase!!

[@mpchead]

Yeah it'll definitely add more value to the standalone version.

[@bboymac84]

@@mpchead yup, from what I’m hearing it will only get better

[@rufusjackson4836]

Will the original MPC X have enough ram to process the stems?

[@tombaonline4829]

I believe the mpc should be good with 4ram it’s the 2ram I’m worried about. The process might take longer so I’m thinking of batch stemming

[@BigBrotherMotown]

I just updated my mpcx to the new 2.13 firmware, and I don't see that buttin when I go into program edit. What am I missing?

No standalone mode yet. The icon at top right would be a chip if it was standalone. He's either placed the camera to not show the USB cable (which would be visible to the right of the black power cable, above the D pad bank button, or he's tucked the cable out of the way (right angle connector?).....or digitally masked it out.
