With all its wins, Serato Stems still has some hurdles to work out in its beta phase. To get snappier processing - not only in activating or disabling individual parts of songs while performing, but also in the program’s initial analysis of a track - you’ll need a machine with some muscle behind it, and a Serato-enabled controller that isn’t ancient. Working on an aged MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM and a fairly low-power Intel Dual Core i3 processor, the immediate feel of the stems interface is easy and responsive, but falls short of seamless. Those familiar with the layouts of Serato DJ’s Pro and Lite versions will feel right at home with the integration, which replaces the handy performance pads to the left and right of your respective deck timelines with a 2×4 section of triggers for vocals, drums, melody, and bass tracks along the top, while the bottom row is dedicated to effects. Just as its name suggests, Serato Stems offers users the ability to isolate and manipulate different elements of any track loaded into either of the program’s virtual decks. So, naturally, if not out of sheer cynism, it felt necessary to investigate just how world-breaking this thing is, and just how it might impact the ever-entangled worlds of DJing, mixing, and producing. And that’s precisely what Serato purports to have done with the latest version of their venerable DJ suite.ĭepending on what pockets of Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, your algorithm(s) operate(s) in, you might have seen the hyperbolics from both users and the company itself, who described a new stem-splitting feature as “game-changing technology” in the notes for the beta release of DJ Pro 3.0. Then again, software creators don’t tend to fundamentally change what their programs are capable of. Software updates don’t tend to throw DJs and producers into a fit.
