A Stem file is an open, multi-channel audio file that contains a track split into four musical elements – bass, drums, vocals, and melody for example. With each element available independently, you can mix in ways that just weren’t possible until now.

Start mixing with Stems using TRAKTOR KONTROL S4, S8, S5, D2, or F1. With Stems fully supported by the included flagship TRAKTOR software, each of these TRAKTOR controllers are pre-mapped and designed for playing with Stems right out of the box. Make sure you’re up to date with the latest version of TRAKTOR PRO 2, download the free Stems Factory Content, and experience mixing with Stems for yourself.
