Stems Question

DJkahar aka Skyscraper 7:55 PM - 14 January, 2025
What's up fellow DJs,

Haven't posted here since the Scratch Live days. Potential simple question. I did some searching on this subject and surprisingly nothing popped up for Stems at all, which i thought was weird. Anyway, I have the up to date version of Serato DJ, and a older beefed up Mac. I turned off "Analyze Stems" on song load and use the Stems crate to pre analyze songs. I know about the Stems icon that shows to the left of the track in my various crates. But is there a quick way to tell a loaded song is stem analyzed?

After loading a song I'm, in and out of different crates and don't remember if the song I'm playing has been analyzed. I don't want to wing it and risk dropouts live. Figured there would be some little icon on the decks that tell me the track is Stemed out and ready to go.

Appreciate it in advance all. ✌🏾

after you drag your tracks to the stems icon, on the right, you will see those tracks highlighted with "S" The "S" will be greyed out, once Serato has finished separating the stems then the "S" will be highlighted in white

I don't advise you do this when your playing live, this should be done offline,
especially if your running a old laptop.

also if you analyse stems offline, realise one song will be 3x the size of the original song, so you need a lot of hard drive space, if you are going to do this to your tracks.

I meant on the left, above your crates.

Right I know about that icon. It appears to the left of the track in whatever crate it's in. I'm talking about looking at decks 1 & 2 and being able to tell if the Stems on the loaded song is analyzed already. With some similar icon that I'm not seeing.

simple if your stems are not ready then the song wont load with stems enabled.
theres no special notification on deck 1 or 2 that tells you Serato has finished with stems.

also like i mentioned above the track will be Highlighted in a white "S" when serato has completed separating stems from your track.

Understand you perfectly bro. It's a good shout. Something I've found myself wanting at times. Looks like feature request time.

It's sounding like thats not a thing, and yeah most likely have to be something added down the line. Figure they could add that little Stems Icon somewhere on the left and right decks. Add it to the rest of the clutter lol.
