He's 100% right. It's damn near impossible to pull individual stems from a full audio file. It's doable but it isn't efficient and it results in a quality loss/inconsistent mixing


Here's the vid of the stems tools...

Will def lead to a loss in quality but I am still intrigued by where this could go. It depends on how much you are an audiophile because back in the day you wouldn't be seen dead sampling off low quality files/not a record, these days people sample off youtube, shyt is clipping and gets released, its way more DIY era... i guess just depends... workflow wise i do like this concept and this is fun, yes it wont be perfect but i see the creative possibilities and some people are going to use this in crazy ways - from producers and djs, to even dancers and singers...

I am intrigued to see how good the 'split into steams' software is....

This shyt ain't ever coming out. Stans still gonna be holding out hope in 2035


If y'all haven't realized by now that these listening sessions are nothing more than a vehicle to sell u overpriced concessions, tickets, gadgets, merchandise and fashion. Pretty much sell u everything but the music. And I'm not here for ANYTHING but the music. I'll continue bumping the rip I got from the last listening session for free.

And I'm saying we'll find out. :yeshrug:

Breh if you into music production it’s no need to wait lol. It’s a reason they have the term “play any stem” in quotation marks. It’s not even on no hating shyt as it’s dope he making some hardware. But it is what it is. It’s a novelty item, not some game changing hardware of software. I understand the nature of him being a cult like figure gonna lead to a lot of hype around his ideas and projects, but it’s not about to change no part of the game breh lol. I might buy one myself on some collector item shyt. I done already spent thousands on “real” music equipment to make music with

:mjlol: So you're a music engineer and a marketing specialist? It could also be in quotations because they're emphasizing a key feature. Quotations usually work that way in this particular context you know. Like I said. Let's wait and see.

I don’t need to wait and see since I am familiar with music production equipment. The only thing I would need to wait and see for is if it has Kanye’s stems, which it most likely will have, as other wise it would be pretty pointless. It’s not that serious but to show you how confident I am, I would lifetime ban bet my account on what I’m saying. If you not so sure that’s fine. But I am.

:mjgrin: So just to be clear. You're making the case that this unit is only for Kanye specific music?

This guy knows! It is prob tech that existed but prob wasnt packaged all together or really focused on because a stem player is a very specific vision that Kanye had/fell in love with when working with these other partners...

It has huge potential for producers and DJs.. even just uploading any song, taking the vocals, mixing the drums with another stem... uploading your own bass and integrating in a workflow just using your fingers, it is highly created!.... I am tempted to get it :russ:

This combined with a DAW might be nuuuuts! :takedat:

I’ve made about 3 post in this thread detailing my exact thoughts in the device. I’m not about to re explain myself cause you wanna be silly.

I permanent ban bet you that device will not be able to isolate stems from any song as it says.

It you don’t wanna take the bet then we can move on. At this point, it’s starting to become a waste of time because you not even rebutting any points with anything at all. But if you wanna be silly and get yourself up out the paint, then be my guest.

it probably will bruh. a free dj’n software has that capability already that use to get acapellas for remixes.

its not hard to isolate stems anymore. might not be the best quality but it can be done. especially for drums and acapellas
