Dangit, from the title I was hoping this was like Spotify DJ for Apple Music, but with a bit more control. Like "Give me a Linkin Park mix, mostly older stuff, a good mix of hits and deep cuts" rather than whatever Spotify thinks I want at that moment. Anyone have a good suggestion for that?

15 seconds for 3 minutes is quite slow, the open source thing i use, spleeter, says 100x speedup over realtime with a GPU, that would be 1.8 seconds for three minutes, which means that spleeter could, in fact, given all of the arguments of what i asked, do it "realtime".
It depends on the hardware. The laptop I use for DJ doesn't have a dedicated GPU. I also use open source, preferring demucs over spleeter. In my experience spleeter requires huge amounts of memory, my DJ laptop only has 16GB of RAM, and I need to close the browser to be able to successfully stem a 5 minutes song. Demucs takes a bit longer, but it uses just 2GB of RAM. And the sound quality of the stems separation is…

> is indeed best suited for bedroom deejays. Or wedding / event DJs who handle requests. I would not delete the local files, but having a streaming service with popular music would certainly help. > Everybody who cares about their craft as a professionL cuts VIP versions and dubplate loops If that is the case, I don't know a single DJs who cares about their craft. Makes you think.
> If that is the case, I don't know a single DJs who cares about their craft. Makes you think. Yea when that sentence started I was ready to agree until they made a point which seems more relevant to producers than DJs
Wedding deejays can play whatever nonsense they like, cause nobody really cares about them - people came for the wedding and bride, not to listen music. They came to see relatives, so yeah - perhaps this works for them to download random tracks. You may be right it works for them, but that’s not what a respected club artist (above the 500£ booking fee) would even dare doing on stage.
Deejaying is a lot about selection and sparsity of certain records. If I’m to play the same thing everyone else does - well why not leave AIs do it then and scratch the deejays entirely. Sounds like a nice plan for some corporate audio weirdo in Japan, but would be met with laughter in proper clubs.

Could anyone comment on how its stems separation compares to VirtualDJ?
A genuine question about the software being discussed, no call for downvotes.

TECHNICALLY flac is conceptually worse than wav. Flac truncates the 0 values in the PCM file, WAV preserves them. It's functionally the same, but wav reads the file while flac has to re-add the 0's then read the file, so there's technically one more processing step (which could go wrong).
That's kind of like saying storing files in a zip is worse than storing them uncompressed. Or like the "what color are your bits": https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23
I really liked that linked article btw.

There's no skill involved in pitching the two nearly-identical-in-BPM tracks and nudging them into rhythm. Put any sync button DJ in front of a proper CDJ setup, give them a couple of hours to practice and they will be able to pull off a set. Most importantly: it is the least important part of the job. Nobody in the crowd gives a shit about whether or not you're using the sync button, it makes no difference to them.…
not sure why you are being downvoted. Beat-matching is the most straightforward and least interesting part of being/experiencing a DJ. I think every DJ needs to know how to do it but IMO most of the overemphasis on beat-matching comes from cringe gatekeeping. To me, it's akin to thinking an actor remembering their lines is the focus of acting. Mixing vinyl well is definitely an impressive skill but I (and I suspect t…
I have seen some unbelievable performances by matching wizards who added a whole other level to the performance with their skills.
The set itself was different because there would not have been a way to slice and dice the set together without those skills.
Really no different than a virtuoso performance on any other instrument.
I’m the developer of Transitions DJ ( https://dj.app/ ). If anyone can connect me with the team at Apple Music, I would be interested in doing an integration.
