Serato Stems full release and Rane 4 first look | Beatsource Tech

[@FintanMoloney]

A total game changer. Well done to Rane for pushing things forward with Serato Stems. Can't wait to see what people come up with using this when they get the kit in hand. Now I just have to figure out to afford one of these !

[@SWRMR]

Whoever thought about splitting decks to use stems this way, man he was smart! It's been a very long time since I remember myself being that excited about a DJ controller! Well done, RANE!

[@drewbeck1000]

Damn. Jaw dropped when you started scratching the vocal over the instrumental. Truly a game changer. I'm curious if the stems tech will see the kind of continual improvement we're seeing in other AI fields right now (image generation, chat, etc.). If they stay on top of the cutting edge we may see rapid improvement from all players pretty quickly. 🤞🏻

[@DJPeterLo]

Oh state of the art models will definitely get better over time. Every year you can read accepted papers at Interspeech on source separation to see where the state of the art is right now. Following that, you can expect that industry will pull from it to put into production a few months/year later.

[@joshoids4551]

Thanks Mojaxx, got me even more fired up to get my hands on one of these!

[@djcruz99]

Feel better!! I purchased VDJ just for the stems feature when it first came out. I loved it then and loving it even more as the tech gets better. It's a great time to be a DJ :)

[@wurly1]

Incredibly impressive looking bit of kit, really bringing Stems creativity into use for the DJs that can cope with it.

[@DJPeterLo]

VDJ just hit back with some pretty strong updates to its stem separation feature. I wonder how well this controller will integrate.

[@bykristopherson7939]

Been using beta just notice full release last night. It’s so flexible for mixing using Roland Dj505

[@djkellyflavour5481]

Mojax you've outdone yourself with this review. I'm sold. I can't wait to get my hands on it 🙌

[@j340_official]

Rane 4 looks good. I’ve been using the beta serato 3.0 and will try the final version out later. Stems allows for so much creativity I can remix on the fly old dancehall tracks (extract the acapellas) with new Afro beats riddims. Sean Paul and bounty killer sound nice on Afrobeats. Rev7 user here.

[@DDC-12]

The potential is amazing.

[@lazyi6356]

Mojaxx your scratching leveled up over the years. I think it's the result of your portablism obsession. Keep up the good work sir 👏 👍

[@djsammysosa1]

I was gonna stay away from stems for a while but after seeing the splits on the Rane 4 I might just have to dive right in!! Great review!!!

[@derrickthurmond2470]

The stems split is what saved this controller for me.

[@noahman27]

Unreal. Great demo. Thanks man. I hope you're feeling better ASAP

[@DMulabiTalejan]

Wow, this will take creative DJing to a whole new level

[@jablinwilliams801]

Love the Stems! It also changed the way I DJ.THANKS DJ J-BLEND

[@DJTeddyJetts]

Okay I was pretty much not even interested in the Rane 4 as a Rane One owner...but now I'm rethinking. That use of the 4 decks for stem splits is pretty cool. And of course hardware fx... I do wish they kept the motor platters. They just had to put a thorn in the side for us motorized lovers.

[@bigdaz7272]

Hope Yo be test drivin this on a Twitch stream real soon my dude :) Easily the best demo of the Four i seen so far, damn its such a great unit. Damn. Damn i wan't one now :)

[@tecModeDJ]

Amazing summary! I can see how the new controller takes stems to the next level. I was a take or leave it stems DJ before seeing this but now, well, I can't wait to get my hands on some DJ software and maybe hardware with stems support. Bravo!

[@canedrive76]

Great vid Mo. Really like this tech.

[@esmwakavi]

That scale down effect is dope! ⚡️💥🔥

[@djmax2110]

Wow! I love that split stems. This controller is bad ass I’m definitely going to get one And onboard FX are amazing

[@johnniep1]

Thanks Mojaxx for a great overview as always. I think the Serato stem features are cool but Serato just needs to work on getting their stems algorithm as clean as Virtual DJs algorithm now and they'll have an out right winner

[@peterlee3687]

Loved using my little reloop buddy with stems on djay Pro but this is a whole new ball game be interesting to see what pioneer come back with

[@SthlmNightlife]

Wow stems are really powerful. Liked your split on 2 channels I didnt understand how to do it but still powerful when do understand it

[@GODInTheWax444]

Hey Mojaxx and commenters. What is that vinyl Mojaxx has the phase remotes on at 3:00 ? I've seen Skratch Bastid using those too and I'd like to pick them up. Someone clue me in please. Thanks and long live Serato!!

[@jzea5605]

This is definitely a new Golden age of DJing

[@BoomDocs14K]

Ever since the leaks flooded social platforms about a new Rane device, my fingers have been crossed. When Pioneer released the Rev 7 controller, something told me to wait on Rane's answer. I understand the market decisions, but I prefer motorized platters. I have the Rane 12s & 70 mixer but need a smaller backup for small events. So either I wait longer for Rane to add motors or get the Rev 7. Loving Serato Stem so far... Great Video MoJaxx!

[@omselection438]

MojAXX - I always comment on your releases because you are just so damn good at reviewing, talking to the user, building excitement and backing it up with appropriate technical discourse. You've earned your matching corduroy pipe and slippers to go with the rotary mixer review elbow patches. On a personal note - how good is your scratching getting now. Kudos! So please keep it going. The stems are getting there. Do I replace my denon prime four hmmm, its given me a reason to think. But so does the V10... Slightly obsessed. I got the allen and heath DB4 based on your deep review and that track splitting thing is amazing. It's really good to see true innovation from rane and denon who are chucking bombs at pioneer's conservative elitist approach.

[@johneccles9051]

This is going to to give the pioneer ddj 1000 srt a run for its money

[@MYL4eva]

I was thinking the same thing as I'm currently about to get the 1000srt. But I'm hearing rumors that the Rane 4 is gonna be $1,999 🥴

[@DreamPrashant]

wonder if this can be incorporated into srt cia future software upgrade.

[@johneccles9051]

@@MYL4eva pioneer will introduce a few extra buttons and make the srt compatible with rekordbox

[@MYL4eva]

@@johneccles9051 why would they make the srt compatible with rekordbox when they already have a version for it? Unless you believe they're gonna go the FLX-6 route and rerelease it compatible for both

[@bloodcell6282]

Nah this in a way goes backwards by not having beat jump buttons, it's a nice controller but if it's bigger than prime 4 is rather just have something that has all that capability

[@mixittweintyfourseven2357]

All I have to say is Thank you Numark, your design was so incredibly good it blew everyone out of the water including yourself LOL

[@390052Knight]

I agree re: the DDJ-XP2 - that being said, I did some MIDI mapping to Pad Mode 8 on decks 3 and 4 to fix that problem. Only snag is no visual feedback. Stems is super ace and found myself going back to my trance roots to use blend techniques on new and classic house anthems!

[@slashwhatever]

That stem split feature is amazing!

[@16bittech]

Hey mate, you can actually select between a half beat echo, or a full beat echo using shift and the parameter buttons

[@Hannibaul]

They might aswell do a Rane 4M aswell bro with a motorised platter since they have time and are not finished yet a motorised platter option too would be very smart 😉

[@tinnitusuk]

Very impressive demonstration. Sounds like the unit could do with a stem split LED above the channel faders to minimise confusion "am I in stem split mode"?

[@halcyondaystunes]

Wow. Those Stems features are incredible. I want 😁

[@dannyillness]

this is cool im keen to see what pioneer develops with stems

[@SteveMaggioncalda]

another solid demo. thank you!

[@ashleybrownau]

If NI doesn’t release something awesome like this soon (leveraging the Izotope RX stems capabilities), I’m switching!

[@beneastwood8440]

This blew my mind. Wee peak into the future

[@Hannibaul]

Looks lovely

[@mecdj]

Looks mind bogglingly incredible having said that I’ve got a feeling pioneer with update their 1000SRT to similar spec

[@TheLarryWilson]

Can't wait to see how the Rane 4 will work with Algoriddim DJay Pro 🔥

[@DjRudeboy254]

that controller is amazing

[@David-ib8ek]

Thanks for another great video. Appreciate your work.

[@soundcentral]

I love being able to drop out the bassline even for the most simple mixes without effecting the vocal. I'm also loving the way I've mapped out Stems on my REV7, it's actually not as fun to play on anything else now lol I dig the screens on the Rane, but thats about it until I can feel the jog wheels.

[@leesinthemix]

Stems split with EQ is a really nice touch and will open up possibilities with Stems for straight blend mixing, rather than just open format scratch DJs. If Serato could open that tech up to midi mapping for devices like the Xone:K1, I could see more of the Traktor faithful venturing into Serato territory for sure. Really great to see.

[@JRthepyroguy]

Ok this is awesome!! Now I wanna see what pioneer is going to drop next?? Thanks Mojax!!

[@djdubu]

What is the sound like on the Rave 4? Sound card?

[@CJ-gp9yh]

I was waiting for a 1000srt update but now gunna buy the rane four

[@crisletrah]

Wonder if I could midi map the 1000SRT to work similar...

[@bboymac84]

Vdj is definitely on point

[@dhaimovich1]

Came for the review but now need to know what remix of Tempo Dj Polique was used 😂

[@dosboy71]

Slick controller but I don’t like how the eq strips don’t line up with the channel Faders. Design flaw, oversight, or intentional?

[@MyAlteredSoul]

I’m just stuck wanting that 4 channel Rane Seventy sitting in the middle.

[@lindsaymaria2876]

Shift + Parameter buttons will switch between 1/2 & 1 beat echos while in Stems mode. (At least it does on the S9)

[@Mojaxx]

Hmmm… will have to investigate this. Perhaps I’ve missed it

[@markanthonylizama6809]

Hopefully they launch a 4ch Dvs mixer with stems control!

[@georgeoweke8688]

daaaaaaaang this looks promising

[@prodj.school]

Great summary!

[@kelz3454]

Do you guys think Native Instruments will come out with a revolutionary controller soon since stems started with them?

[@melpol2005]

Great work as always..& very insightful.. now I have to ask, sorry but had to, .. how did u lose the weight?

[@serkankocak]

My biggest upgrade was from seriously bad Reloop belt driven RP-1000MK2's to Technics SL-1200MK2's in the year 2005. Two entirely different worlds even though the Reloop's were marketed to give the Technics a run for their money :D But I need to give an honorable mention to the upgrade from cheap headphones to Technics RP-DJ1210E-S. For the money I spent for a dozen cheap headphones I could've gotten 3 pairs of the Technics and that single Technics outlived every headphone I owned in the previous 15 years.

[@deejaypato256]

Amazing controller from inmusic

[@tommydplayskeys]

My laptop can't handle it :( lots of audio dropouts, even when using pre-prepared stems crate. Was looking forward to this...

[@SnaikHead]

hey JAX!! how would you compare the Serato STEMS compared to RIPX software? thx!!

[@kevinelliott8972]

Serato Dj 3.0 not downloading on my MacBook Pro 😢 does your controller need to be plugged. When updating your software?

[@jemmanuellrt]

Game changer! Thxs bro👍🏾

[@ckcc1209]

are the stem fader and eq function only for this controller or can it also be midi map too?

[@JFullington8]

If I already have Serato 2.5 via my Numark Scratch, I have to pay for the 3.0 update? Thanks!

[@ramonvaldez8050]

Question what jog wheels feels better the Srt1000, Denonsc6000 or the one on Rane 4? To me Denon Prime 4 and Numark ns6mk2 both jogs are way 2 loose however ns6mk2 which to me is a great controller but definealy weak on the Mic pre as well but everything else love it no complaints.

[@kudamah]

So to add vocal fx without interference on the instrumental u need to hv 2 version running simultaneously??? That's where vdj got the edge over serato

[@audio123me]

Why the tiny cue button ? And no tension adjust on the jogs ?

[@junicee7928]

Flipping hell.....I remember remixing acapellas on two wack belt drive turntables with no pitch.....now this is where we are!

[@mpbangamusic9673]

[@flexlabz]

Can you not add stem tracks to the sampler :/ I tried to today and it said can not add stems to sampler..> :(

[@DJJustyJust]

I recently upgraded to 3.0 and my Rane 72 rebooted itself for the first time ever in the middle of a mix. Can't help but think this is related to 3.0 so I've downgraded back to 2.6. For the life of me I still can't fix the random Rane 12 stopping issue. I wonder if Mojax or anyone in the community has any idea how to fix the 12 issues? I've started MIDI debugging but only happens when Serato is running and I can't monitor MIDI if serato locks the MIDI comms. It's driving me nuts but I'm determined to get to the bottom of this.

[@DJ3nz0]

now i want a rane four

[@DJQKansasCity]

This device might break my anti-controller stance lol. I'm intrigued

[@Jedi_Jonson]

So is this ranes answer to the rev 7? I've been holding out on getting a pro controller but it's definitely narrowed done between this, 1000srt, or the rev 7. Just hoping the pricing isn't crazy. I always trust mojaxxs reviews. Dude gets right to the pros and cons with no bs.

[@atypical_blk_guy]

Unfortunately, that's not how the tech industry works. There's no way Rane could have produced the 4 in one year. Especially with covid and supply issues. I would guess Rane started developing this after they released the Rane One. That'd give them 2 years of development time. A Rane One mk2 would be a true response to the rev7.

[@djroyal414]

This is AWESOME!!!!

[@Bombay_BadBoy]

Get well soon from that cold

[@Timesplitter777]

Could you do the duplicate dual deck mode on say a prime 4 with serato? Theoretically do the same ?

[@Wendel_Kos]

does anybody if Serato can pitch the stems seperatly on the fly? To sync the keys?

can i play song with stems without storage to ssd ?
