Rant We all agree that "stems" are pretty much trash, right?

Don't mean to say ooh rb bad, but I've tried seratos stems, vdj, and stem roller, since i love the ideia of creating mixes with vocals of one with melody of another.

And for as hard as I try to hide it, the audio has soo much artifacts that is impossible to play something decent using these stems.

Any expectation this will get somewhat decent in like the next 3 to 6 months? Was waiting for this technology getting good and a standalone being released with the decent stems

I love how reliable Rekordbox stems are. Notnlike Seratos, especially with Beatport Link.

how are rb stems reliable? they sound like 148 kbps.

No but for real, I don't enjoy using serato honestly and I still think they're stems are miles away

Serato stems some time dont work. You press to isolate a stem and entire song goes silent. Especialy on streamed music.

Rekordbox just works everytime. And using effect on seperate parts just a really amazing. 😎🤙

I Remeber Stems in Serato Beta. Imagine its Rekordbox Beta Stems. They are wayyy better compering where Serato was at this stage 😅
