Rekordbox Stems on Pioneer XDJ-RX3

Welcome to Music Gear Mondays, your weekly source for the latest updates on DJ equipment and software! In this episode, we'll look at the latest Pioneer DJ Rekord Box 6 Stems Update, which adds new features for using STEMS files in your DJ sets.

First, we'll show you how to use the new STEMS feature in Rekord Box 6, which allows you to separate and manipulate individual elements of a track, such as drums, bass, vocals, and melody. We'll walk you through the setup process and demonstrate how to use the feature in a mix.

Next, we'll show you how to map the Pioneer XDJ RX3 to use the STEMS feature. This will allow you to control and manipulate STEMS files using the XDJ RX3's hardware controls, including the jog wheel, performance pads, and mixer section. We'll provide step-by-step instructions and show you how to customize the mapping to suit your workflow.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced DJ, this episode of Music Gear Mondays is packed with tips and tricks for taking your DJ sets to the next level with Pioneer DJ Rekord Box 6 and the STEMS feature. So tune in, and let's get started!

[Traumadj]

Worked like a charm. Thank you. Just got rx3 today

[SteveMaggioncalda]

thx a ton. appreciate this walk-through. stem-ing a bunch in serato. really rely on it these days

[GamingChannelUK]

What a legend that worked like a charm for my XR3, Please tell me I can do this with using the sample now with my pads?

[andrewisles]

thanks for the tutorial bro, massive help

[marcelverwijst]

Is your computer connected to your rx-3? When following your instruction the midi button in Recordbox is not working. I am not connected to my RX3

[FellypeNascimento]

Can I do this without a computer, from the buil-in Rekordbox software that's on the XDJ?

[mikaylaj]

So you have to have your computer connected to use the stems? There's no way to separate stems using a USB??

[vladimirmkrtchyan]

Rekordbox says there´s no analysis data for the track separation function. I tried to reanalyze the track but still it never works. What am I doing wrong? Also how can I assign some sounds or samples that I have sepparately in my libraries upon the pads? For example, I want to add some police beeps or female voice upon the pads

[simonhallsimonhall]

When your mapping has been installed for stems functionality can the RX3 be run as a standalone or does it need the laptop / RB to process the music file for separation?

[williammartinez]

It worked but only when I’m using my laptop as the source. Anyway to get it to transfer over for when I play on my USB on my RX3?

[x_piux_x]

After mapping it if I disconnect the computer it still works?

[aaronjp]

Have you figured out a way to colour code the pads to match the stems, blue green red? Instead of just a white colour when active.

[jbeatss]

Do it works without the computer plugged in?

[SarahAraujoAnderson]

When I click learn and try to press the pad the pad doesn't turn on nor is there a pop up?

[germyy_]

Is this still a software control only deal, or can we do it yet in standalone mode ?

[simonsaghaar]

Is it possible to load the mapping on the controller to use it without computer ?

[matheusfpires]

Can I use the STEMS without the computer?

[KARRIERx]

Will those stems work in stand alone mode on rx3?
