Jazzy Jeff's 3 Tips For DJing With Stems

Nowadays, DJs can easily separate drums, melodies and vocals in their tracks, either when DJing or before a set. In this video, the legend Jazzy Jeff explains three ways he's been using stems recently, to inspire you to do the same in your DJ sets.

Stems are built in to Algoriddim's djay Pro AI for Mac and iPhone/iPad, and Virtual DJ for Mac and Windows. The most DJ-friendly app for separating stems ahead of time for your music is Algoriddim's Neural Mix Pro AI.

Thanx Phil Morse and Jazzy Jeff for the great video!! The best DJ school and the best DJ, what more could you want!! I use VDJ, and I’ve been playing around with the stems a lot lately, and you better believe I’m gonna try that Chaka Kahn/Big Daddy Kane mix later!!!! 🎶🎶👍🏾

Thank you boys! I’m 53 and just starting to dj.... i’ve wanted to scratch since i was 15, but you know life :(

I love that line, “Don’t make the tool more important than the endgame.”

Stems are so underrated...I use a REV-7 and I've switched to Virtual DJ because their Stems 2.0 blows everything else out of the water!! It frustrates me that so many DJs aren't even interested in Stems mixing (or even harmonic mixing) but, for me, it really elevates my mixes to another level.

Jazzy Jeff is the man!!! NO OTHER DJ can do what he does with the turntables!!! PERIOD…

7:03-7:40 I love doing this too in VirtualDJ. I like to DJ too.
One example I did was Chingy's "Right Thurr" with Toni Braxton's "You Makin' Me High." I took out Toni's vocals and kept the beat and melody and matched it with Chingy's Right Thurr. It sounds really nice together. Another example I did was with Usher "Yeah" mixed with Houston's "I Like That."

Just smiled the whole time watching these two wonderful people share ideas and their passion for the music

Jazzy, jazzy, jazzy, jazzy, jazzy, jazzy, JEFF! LOVE THE All I Do TIP. BUYING IT!!! Thank ypu🔥🔥🔥

I just saw this but I have a fourth tip. A strong Hip Hop drum beat under a serious ballad's vocals will make a new genre. It's like "Love Hop or Soft Hop." It's just a lot of fun.

Jazzy Jeff it is... such a humble person. Great tips. 👍🏼
Thanks Phil for the video 🙏🏻

Jazzy Jeff the GOAT. This information is awesome to hear. Thank you Phil for the video

Great interview with Jazzy Jeff, Totally agree, with these stems we can start doing these mixes, live remixing on the fly... Pretty much what we've been wishing for since we were kids!❤

Man I'm so jealous you can consider this guy a friend. Being able to pick his brain through your excellent facilitation has taught me so much. With virtually every instrument these greats are always gone by the time we truly appreciate their contributions. I love it! No expert analysis, straight from the horses mouth as we sometimes say..

Loved watching Jazzy Jeff's Birthday Twitch Steam last week, it was beyond awesome.
His reaction to the US Asian Girl He featured doing the insane Mashups set on Vinyl made my Month.
Wish i could remember Her name She was lit AF :)

[evanrandall]

Your facilitation is so crucial to pulling this great experience out of Jeff I really appreciate that you are getting really specific about picking his brain. We really need that while we still have these great people here to learn from! You'll never see a real Jimi Hendrix tutorial..

Im from the old school and remember wishing I had the accapella or instrumentals of a song. Stems software is a game changer. Im now only limited to my music vocabulary and imagination. Stem software included in the dj program software is endgame in my opinion. wonderful interview! Now I have to wait for rekord box to incorporate stems which would curb my learning curve or just make the switch to Virtual Dj and learn its platform, but at least now I have choices!

[buhshmuh]

I literally just found out about the stem feature and have been experimenting for 2 hours and i found myself doing exactly these 3 things constantly. I'm glad that i somewhat was on the right track, now time to practice

[LUNITUNZBackup]

The algorithm got me, I thought this was a video about Serato Stems, until Phil mentioned Neural mix being a "recent release."

[DjMonksdream]

Facts he’s amazing just his syncing alone can’t compare how he makes a R&B songs and hip hop joints blend 🙏🏼🙏🏼blessings

[anderss]

In VirtualDJ you can do that live. I love all the posibilities, i will be so much fun when i can use them in front of a crowd...
