At the moment I see stems taking the same way as remix decks, only quicker.Īn interesting container - with boring content. In my conclusion stems may become interesting if all corresponding condtions would have much better third party support - but I doubt it. This may give a good impression if contemporary DJing (or missing knowledge) but explains too the absence of interest. Not an essential feature but also not a good promotion.Ī lot of questions show the expectation of naive(?) users: How can I do my own stem file, do I need separate wave files (only have mp3), how can I separate an existing track and so on. As long as no major label shares the system there will be no lasting success.Ī lot of Traktor users are disappointed realising that the separate waveforms are only available on S8 or D2. Playing unknown tracks with expected life- /playtime of 4-6 weeks is useless to demonstrate the possibilities as no one recognizes it. To have a real impressive start well known/popular stem tracks should have been published so anybody may recognize the difference and options a DJ may have with them. IMHO there are few issues to be regarded: The low interest and feedback in the forum was a suprise too - but not completely unexpected. I guess you are right on most aspects, it appears as if NI tried to find another unique selling point (usp) for S8 and D2. I also saw potential in Maschine, something that I still wait for since 2012 but that's another story. My 2 cents, I really hope this format will eventually catch up because I really believe in it, but maybe you should wait a few weeks before spending money on STEM gear. I am not saying I would've done better, but even in a team of a few people, over that timescale, I can't understand how stuff like this can happen. What I am saying is that I think NI only puts the littlest of their workforce into STEMS which MIGHT be an indicator that they already stopped believing in the potential of STEMS. They got it in their hands for A BIT longer than. How big can the stem team be? 4 coders and 1 musician? How could they not 1) check the framework version so the user would at least obtain a readable error code 2) see this as a potential problem? 2) is something I noticed myself after a few hours of pushing the first version. Please consider that they presented the creator tool a few WEEKS ago and that NI is a f*cking huge company, even having offices on different continents where a few hundred people work at. These 2 bugs are the exact same ones I accidentally made. 2) the app didn't work if file paths had spaces in it. There were 2 things that were criticized: 1) the app didn't launch if an older version of Java was installed. Now to my introduction: I honestly think even NI has kind of given up a bit on this one, It took me a few hours to write a very very basic STEM creator tool which then worked almost bug-free on recent versions OS X. Now as STEMS officially launched, its range seems lower than I expected, of course the activity in that forum increased a lot but still not as much as e.g. Also, big props to NI here, no one "warned" me about advertising my Creator Tool here, NI (again, that's really cool) didn't remove my forum post and there was little to no interaction with NI usernames in the STEMS forums so far. The STEMS forum is close to dead, although labels did offer STEMS a few weeks earlier than the official launch no one really advertised it too much and rather big artists still don't seem to care about it at all. I am really surprised about that rather "unsmooth" launch of STEMS. Or is it rather that no one wanted to actually take the effort? Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2 (NT 6.When I first heard about STEMS I was amazed - amazed that no one has thought of that before. However, prior to WIndows 7 and After Windows 8, version numbers in Windows made sense, at least when numbers were in the product name, vis, So why wouldn't Windows 11 be 0.123? I get in the past things were weird, at least with Windows 7 and 8. Initially, as you recall, early builds of Windows 10 was 6.4. When Windows 10 was birthed, the big decision was made to break from the 6.x version and to jump to 10, to make things make actual sense. I would have thought this would have been covered somewhere, since it's so obvious- but alas I ended up here.
