Topic: Little distortion (cracks) here and there using pre-calculated stems 2.0
Hi,
I found that some little cracks can be heart when using pre-calculated stems 2.0.
This happens to the plain song without any stem-modulations activated.

When deleting the pre-calculated stem, the original file plays without any cracks.

I created a little video, to show the effect. I know it is hard to hear, but it is recognizable.

I'm using b8325 but experienced the same problem 2 builds before as-well. But I can't tell, when it started.

Here is my stems configuration:


Cheers Jochen

Hi Jochen,

You're not alone :) I have observed the same behavior of prepared stems being used even when all stems pad/knobs are 100%. It looks like we started seeing the issue around the same build too. I suspect "Fix distortion when using prepared stems and only boosting/muting a stem a few percent" introduced a bug (BUILD 8314 2024-09-11). I've rolled back to 8308 for the time being. https://www.virtualdj.com/forums/260474/VirtualDJ_Technical_Support/Prepared_stems_affect_playback_even_when_stems_aren_t_used.html

Others have reported the same click/pop in stems (especially kicks) here: https://www.virtualdj.com/forums/249996/VirtualDJ_Technical_Support/Pop_Click_in_the__2_0_Kick_Stem__particularly_House_genres______VDJ_2023.html

The first seems like a relatively easy fix but the clicking stem issue looks to have been around awhile (and seems far more complex to solve).

Thank you both for your replies,

@Adion: I tried the latest build and listend very carefully (with headphones) to the song I used in my previous video.
And I think my problem seams to be gone.

Thank you very much 🙏
Once again awesome support!
