Nice! Love to hear it!

Thank you for watching glad I could help! Hope to catch you on the next episode!

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching 🙏🏽 check out the latest episode and keep in touch

No problem it’s definitely a feature we’ll be seeing more of in the future.

Awesome glad to hear it! The Midi Mappings should be pretty universal just about finding out what channels it will replace.

It's not a stand-alone feature yet, but hopefully, we see some updates from Pioneer that will make it possible soon.

Not available in stand-alone mode only while using the rekordbox software. It would be awesome to see that feature in future stand alone.

@@MusicGearMondays ahhh booo….ok. Thanks for the reply.

What about with the new Rekordbox app?

@@Harmanjt good question at the time of this video the app didn’t work but they might have had an update since then I’ll have to try it out for one of the next episodes thanks!

@@MusicGearMondaysany news about this?

I hear you on the quality and I feel like it’s something they will improve. Most pioneer/rekordbox customers play on CDJs or all in one units and they haven’t built that tech into there players yet. Pioneer is like Apple in a sense that they don’t put allot out at once and they slowly update and roll out product to maximize on their profits. Kind of a bummer from a consumer stand point but there are plenty companies to scratch that itch in the mean while like Denon doing some amazing things with their players at a fraction of the cost. I’m a big fan of pioneer but I try to learn and use every piece of gear I can. Why don’t you do both? Serato is free you just need something like Lexicon to sync your library. By the way thanks for watching and opening up some good discussion ✊🏽

If you go into your preferences and look for the audio tab, you can select laptop speaker, headphones, or other audio output sources.

@@MusicGearMondays Yeah I tried doing that as well but the only option that its giving me it’s laptop speakers

The RX3 should show up as an option as long as the drivers are properly installed. You can also check your security and firewall settings to see if it's blocking the connection to your hardware. @@SandyDreads

@@MusicGearMondays thanks a lot for the response and the help 🙏🏼

No problem hopefully that helps @@SandyDreads

That’s a good question I’ll have to look into that. It would be nice to have the colors coordinated with the effects.

Yeah, I hear you definitely have its strengths and weaknesses as a feature as it evolves. It will get more intuitive and also have more uses definitely nice to get those isolations on the fly blending. Have you seen the new denon prime players? They now have stand-alone stem capabilities. I'm interested to see where that all goes as well. But I'm in the same boat with cool features that I don't use as much.

@@MusicGearMondays The prime stuff is cool for mobile DJs if you're playing solo. Litterally everyone I play with uses Pioneer so anything other than that isn't even a consideration. Denon has cool features but they don't outweigh the convenience of everyone being comfortable on the same (rekordbox) system.

@@LeftCat I hear that Pioneer definitely has the market on lock

Yeah for now it’s only available in pioneers software. There version of stems isn’t that great anyway they bought Serato recently who has stems separation and sounds light years better but again it’s not stand alone. I’ve seen some really dope routines and sets with stems so there’s definitely a space for it but yeah like you said we need it to be updated and integrated to stand alone. Hopefully we see a firmware update in the future or something that allows this similar to denons prime 4. Until then we just have to keep making our own acapellas and instrumentals for the rx3 and CDJs lol 😆

It is a shame for sure as I also own a RX3, guess a FLX 10 is also on the cards along side the RX3 🙄🤣

True but the rx 3 wasn’t designed with stems in mind

I want to know that too!

currently not on the RX3 but there is stem availability on Denon Prime 4. Hopefully we see some updates in stand alone mode by my guess is they will introduce it in future hardware.

Thanks brother!! Let's wait for some updates...@@MusicGearMondays

You need a laptop 💻 to use this feature

@@MusicGearMondays thanks. I’m thinking lately to buy the RX3 I like the design very much but I’m concerned if it will become obsolete with features soon…

@@nikolakatanic depending on what you looking to do rx3 is a great way to utilize rekordbox, Serato and stand alone sets makes it easy to play a set anywhere but does come with limitations. If your looking for more features and not portability you may want to check out the opus or incest in a mixer and decks that are interchangeable

@@MusicGearMondays exactly on point. The RX3 is a perfect balance for what I need. Opus is too much features that I don’t need, so I don’t see other alternative for portable AIO on Pioneer platform. Honestly the key shift is the only downgrade I see for my needs. Yes the cloud sync would be awesome too but that’s not a dealbreaker right now as it’s not developed so much still. Though they could also release the RX4 soon who knows…

Currently need to be junking rekordbox dj software on the computer for this feature

same...

Software only

sorry it's been a while sho the video description on the site is a little bit of a scroll but I cut and pasted it Here you go: www.crlcrrll.com/s/XDJ-RX3-STEMSBEATJUMP.csv

It should it's just a midi map in the software. I would assume on the latest RX2 firmware. Try it out and let us know.

No

Does not work in stand alone at the moment but hopping for future tech implementation 🤞🏾

@@CRLCRRLLTVany news about this?

@@olacta no stems stand alone news yet but Denon’s Prime 4 introduced there’s a few weeks back hopefully pioneer fallows suit sometime in the near future.

There hasen't been any crashing issues, but my MacBook M1 did bog down a little a few weeks back while DJing. I was also running a ton of apps in the background. It hasn't fully crashed yet, but I'm sure the more you put into stems, the more it will eventually overload the GPU. Althoughthe new Rekordbox Update is supposed to help optimize for performance. (New video coming soon) haha

Lol I agree man you would think since they own the controller they would just make it automatic. Hopefully a firmware update will fix that in the future.

@@CRLCRRLLTV holy truth 🙌🏻

It’s all mediocre. I have better tools for this I use in my DAW, than serato, like iZotope RX Advanced & Steinberg Spectralayers Pro, and even those are far from perfect. But both give me better results than I get with Serato Ssmple. Long story short true stem separation without a lot of cleanup work is not yet possible. The best tool for it in the production domain is spectralayers imo. The workflow is better for editing the results, as it separates the stems into layers non destructively. As in, as long as you don’t edit anything and save the layers as separate audio files yet, it’s still playing back the raw audio. You can then move any bleed from one layer to another by highlighting them in one layer’s spectrogram and choosing to move it to the layer where it should be (eg moving hi hat bleed artifacts from the vocal layer to the drum layer). This is still non destructive editing until soloing any given layer or saving the stems as their own audio files. But even with this method it takes A LOT of editing to achieve near perfect results on acapella isolation. I think we are years away from having algorithms so advanced they can produce clean spectral stem separation with one click. Spectralayers & RX are about as good as it gets. Spectralayers just has better workflow for perfecting the results of what the separation algorithm gives you as a starting point. RX is a bit more clunky to move bleed artifacts between stems

Not a fan of STEMS I see...

in theory, you can repeat the steps on any XDJ, but I would recommend doing that way before you play your show to avoid any issues coming to show time.
