For those having problems mapping stems to pads here is the fix!

Big ups to @VictorGonzalez-to2jw for the method 🏆

[vdglife]

To add stem separation to pads click on the pad text next to midi. Then go to User 1 Choose the pad you want to add track seperation to and then click on the arrows in that field. From the menu choose Transport > Track Speration > then the part you want.

Why is this YouTube channel not more popular?! I'm learning so much wtf

[amanvermabpl]

Pad editor is off in my Rekordbox as I’m on Free Plan. But the MIDI method shown in this video worked for me. Thanks a lot for the video.

[swyrvs]

thank you been trying to do this for so long and you got right to the point. like deserved :)

[zainburgess]

Just found you - subscribed. You're an absolute gem. Thank you.

[TastySanchez]

Excellent tutorial. So happy I can try this on my DDJ-800!

[Lavonda_Rocks]

Yes! Now I can make ridiculous mashups on the fly. Thank you for the specific examples for mapping. Great vid!

[djwolfletsgo]

You always explain everything so simple! Great video

[MagnumDB]

That’s kind of crazy that you need to first manually delete the MIDI control of the button.

On video game consoles and in OBS for years, you could find the action you want and press whatever button to assign to the action. A pop-up would say “this button is already assigned to so-and-so, do you want to replace it?“ And then you click, yes.

I would never have to go to the original assigned button and delete the action from it first.

But at least Pioneer makes it possible for all controllers, and thank you for showing how it’s done!

[mauriceknight]

Thank you! This was the easiest way I've seen. And I like how the pad color match the stem color.

I'm a long-time Serato user, but have really wanted get to grips with Rekordbox for quite a while.

So I recently bought the DDJ-FLX4 because a) it's cheap (£279.00), and b) it enables full Rekordbox license.

Just stumbled upon your channel - great video - instantly subscribed!

[DJTHRILLER]

You’ve been really helpful to me with these videos. I’m gonna tag you on my community page and turn some of my subs onto you. It’s the least I can do. I don’t have a ton of subs but I’m pretty sure they will enjoy the channel as much as I do.

I think the reason for Pioneer not to call it STEMS, seems that it is not meant to used like a "real" STEM: played as solo tracks.
It seems more like a great transition/mixing tool. Hence the 3 parts are Drums, Vocal and Instrument.
One of biggest benefit for me is when it is coming go the FX send/bypass. E.g. just add some live feeling/room to the vocals (or reduce them for the crowd to sing-a-long), without hurting the beat/rhythm section or blurry up the melodic/instrumental flow.

[MoistMoments]

Just go to pads and add them there, job done!

[DJTHRILLER]

Super helpful!! Thanks for the tips ❤️💪

[marksmit]

You consistenly share great video's, you got yourself a new subscriber :) Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

[lunalith]

Full of awesome stuff with very concise, clear, easy-to-follow and complete instructions. Nice 1 d-_-b

[Dj.julien.b]

Hello and thanks for all the dope videos. Do you think sound quality of stems will improve on next updates of rekordbox ? Because for now it sounds awful to me ... A way of not being so CPU demanding would be to pre analyze tracks before hands dont you think ? Thanks

[timryan]

Thanks for the video. Do you have a video of using your stem assignments in this video or stem with the pads?
