Instant live Stems separation

Implement on-the-fly live stems separation technology in Traktor would be a killer feature.

It's a pity Algorithm or Atomix already did that whereas the stems concept was developed by NI.

NI's got the best DJing hardware on the market for that purpose.

With izotope technology, and the fact that computers nowadays have lots of processing power (such has the Apple M1 Pro or later), should make it possible to implement the feature.

Great news! Stem separation has been successfully implemented and is now available in Traktor Pro 4.

    But I see it this way: If you change the type of Deck to Stems, and throw a regular stereo-track there, then it will be analyzed and split into 4 Stems channels. Perhaps its cache will be stored only in RAM or on disk until the next track is loaded, and then cache will be cleared. But so that this functionality is absent on a regular Track Deck and does not load the system when not in use. Thus, those who do not need this functionality will not feel an increase in CPU load.

    I see this is now roadmapped. It’s a great feature however the NI hardware to is a bit lacking here. I wonder if there is new hardware coming associated with more purpose-built stems mixing workflow. An isolate button a particular stem (ie Acapella) would be very desirable.

    Check out Midifighter Twister. It is perfect controller for that.

    Xone K1/k2 or Traktor F1 might also be a nice addition for controlling stems.

    The D2 has everything you need, I think. It's no longer in production but they should be cheap on the aftermarket (but maybe not for long)

    Love this. Also maybe instead of implementing "subscription" style costs you can make the Real Time Stems available with an F1 controller. That way NI gets paid, we don't get hated "subscription costs" and the user gets even more real time tangible contol over DJ sets.

    Yes, this is a solid idea on how to bring the Isotope product to market inside Traktor. Good thinking! the Isotope "good" quality can isolate stems almost in real time (better and best take longer), but those can come as upgrades come.

    With Release of Pioniers new FLX Controller NI should hurry up with this stem seperation thing. This is a Revolution in things of mixing believe me. Every DJ needs to have that sooner or later. But it‘s good to hear that you are working on it. Otherwise, many people will finally leave to a other company 🤷‍♂️. And I Guess many people don‘t want to wait again so long for features others have much early. Intelligent playlists for example (and they are not really useful 🤷‍♂️)

    Would be great to have this built in without having to use NUOSTEMS to do it manually for each track and then save that as a stem deck file.

    Live stem separation is gaining a lot of momentum and i dont see it as a fad thats going to vanish.

    Yes please! This is a feature that almost every mainstream DJ software has now

    Yes please, we need this - any update on when this is coming? VirtualDJ, Algorddim Djay Pro and now even Rekordbox has this!? How can we be the last with controllers like the D2/S8 and F1 which are perfect for this, and with the Izotope partnership where RX10 can do this close to real-time? I know you are working on it, but an early glimpse or some news would give us hope!

    They are perfectly suited. Don’t you agree?

    Fully agree. Stem separation is the future of DJing and is where almost everyone will be headed. I love Traktor but with this feature missing it makes it hard to stay, if/when it's added it will be the ultimate DJing software so please please please add this ASAP!

    It is already an essential feature - AI is revolutionizing everything thus DJs, too! I am really waiting also for the new traktor 4.xx and of course then also Natives new hardware especially focussing on an controller, which goes in the same direction like the pioneer flx-10
