If you are a DJ or remixer who regularly needs to lift a vocal from a mix, or a drum loop from a track then XTRAX STEMS could be a very useful tool in your audio software collection. Sadly Audionamix currently do not provide curious users with a demo download of XTRAX STEMS, which I still think is a crying shame as this technology needs to be tried by the masses as I worry many wont fully appreciate the process by watching online videos of it in action. If you can live with the artefacts then XTRAX STEMS 2 is not a bad product. Watch: Review - Audionamix XTRAX STEMS Automatic Stem Creator Software Works on mono and stereo files up to 96 kHz / 32 bitsĪs a product, my opinion hasn’t changed much from my initial thoughts in my review of XTRAX STEMS version 1:

New! Fully-adjustable, real-time Separation Balance matrix with presetsĪutomatic 3 part separation – vocals, drums, remaining musicĬreate and export a new volume and pan mixĮxport separations as individual wav stems or in Native Instruments’ STEMS file format New! High fidelity drum separation processing In isolation vocal tracks sound clearer, drums sound more focused and music… well, the music component in isolation (without the drums and vocals) still sounds like a phasy mess but those types of results are to be expected from plug-ins such as these that perform witchcraft. There are also clear improvements in the quality of the separations. Processing is still performed in the cloud on the Audionamix servers, which may not be to everyone’s liking, but thankfully the process is a lot quicker than before.

The main improvements in version two are to be found under the hood. Version 2 picks up the story nicely from it’s previous version without over complicating the process.

XTRAX STEMS sole purpose was to provide a simple approach to automatically separating vocals from drums and music beds with the function of churning out three audio stems of each component within a mix. It was the most affordable plug-in Audionamix had ever offered, it was also the most promising as it looked like it would appeal to a wide range of users in both music production and remixing. The first version of XTRAX STEMS was released roughly a year ago. Audionamix are clearly one of the leading experts in this field as their plug-in catalog offers a vast section of speech and voice separation plug-ins such as IDC and TRAX.

These days it seems that a number of plug-in developers consider audio separation as some kind of audio processing algorithm holy grail.
