Wow, I don't use stems that often and using Serato DJ and Virtual DJ with Tidal is cool for those songs you just do not have in the crates, records or digital. I usually chop things up in the Roland VS1824 long process to filter but works. Waiting to see what is next for 2024 for software technology.

[@djdaltee9054]

As of Tuesday stems are back!

[@rainbowgaming8441]

theres a program called Stem this tool with that it unlocks any mp3 and turns it into a Stem note it can take 8 to 12 mins unlock them it would take you forever to do this

[@statisticallylucky]

Yea, I'm a new-ish (3yrs) DJ and I wish I would have known about this sooner. I'm kinda upset...not going to lie... However, one of my focuses during the past year has been moving away from streaming services for DJ purposes. As you mentioned, you can't record sets from streaming tracks, it also takes ages to load Serato if you have a lot of crates on a streaming service, and if the internet isn't great where one is DJing one is SOL.

[@PhearNoneGearGadgets]

Yea if you are going to be taking on more serious workload and higher stacks gigs I would definitelyhave your core music and stems on a t7 drive!

[@DavidCosta-v7e]

Stems are back on VDJ latest upgrade

[@Johnnyjawbone]

Don't update Serato. If you have, uninstall then update from archive versions before the latest

[@Furgodj]

Where i get the old version? I update to 3.1.1...i was in 3.0.6 i think

[@Johnnyjawbone]

@@Furgodj Serato DJ Download Archive. It's on the same page as the main download. Just scroll down, click the link. All previous versions available to download.

[@CED.Dweller]

Quick audio question: did your input change to the camera's microohone during your presence shots (when we see you speaking)? The audio didn't seem to go through your Shure mic.

[@dank7809]

I just get pissed off when monopolized industries stifle innovation. Lawsuit pending

[@Mdnesseptx]

Djay Algoriddum still let’s you use Tidal stems. I was using it yesterday.

[@Tales_From_The_Crypto]

Not anymore😢

[@Mdnesseptx]

Whoa you’re right! I just tried it. Deezer it is…. For now. It’s an over seas company.

[@weforgot]

@@Tales_From_The_Crypto neural mix still works for me on iOS?

[@lag3432]

You're saying it doesn't work with deezer anymore? VDJ has the tidal locker now.

[@ezellsampson5766]

It's work for deezer I'm use it now

[@Mdnesseptx]

Stems work with Deezer.

[@chadnliz2k11]

They gave offline locker though. Not the end of the world

[@bboymac84]

Just don’t update

[@mikebrown5350]

I’m tight.

[@princessv248]

What do we do now?

[@maxraider49]

Why would they do that???

[@bboymac84]

Correction… 3:30 stems are Groups of tracks!

[@ltjplanet]

@bboymac84 You are kinda correct but the word 'Stem' refers to the individual tracks that were originally recorded. So technically, the are aren't 'groups' but typically its a singular instrument or voice.👍🏿

[@bboymac84]

@@ltjplanet no stems refers to groups not. Like drum stem is the group of drum sounds. Kick, snare, hat, claps…

[@ltjplanet]

@@bboymac84 I think in terms of DJ's that maybe be accurate(DJ's and producers) but in the recording process(I'm a long time producer/engineer), 'stems' is a term used to describe separate instument during a recording session. (Drums are possibly the only instrument that isn't completely sub-divided for re-mixing, may vocals too)I've recorded MANY projects in different genres in different studios and the meaning of 'stems' has been exactly the same. DJ's got the terminology from the recording engineers. Peace

[@bboymac84]

@@ltjplanet true but if that were the case we’d have more that four tracks to mute in Serato. Stems are groups of tracks that make one song

[@djoxygennYT]

Don't update Serato 3.1.1

[@cesnav7593]

Who the bell uses Tidal?? Why would you pay for a service that doesn’t provide DJ friendly edits? Leave tidal alone and sign up to digital record pools

[@PhearNoneGearGadgets]

Streaming is a big deal for the modern DJ, most DJs (including myself) use several record pools and streaming services.

[@PhearNoneGearGadgets]

Thanks for watching and the feedback.

[@cesnav7593]

I’m a “modern DJ” booked every weekend. I NEVER have the need for tidal. If ever someone wants a song that I don’t have, I log in to one of my various pools and I can pull the song up, which is a DJ friendly intro and outro. Why spend money on tidal that doesn’t give you Intro/outro edits?

[@Roscoe-dm6hp]

That’s not cool at all. I’m pissed and want my money back

[@PhearNoneGearGadgets]

They have a DJ package now for an extra $10

[@deMiro]

I have no Issues could still use Tidal with stems in Serato
