VirtualDJ has released the latest version of its flagship software with an upgrade of its stem separation engine that promises “studio-like quality”.

The AI-powered stem separation function first launched in 2020 and allows users to separate stems from tracks in real-time, which means you can fade out, mute and solo vocals, basslines, drums, instruments and more from a fully mixed down track, without having access to the individual parts. 

Based on AI and deep neural networks machine learning, VirtualDJ 2023 promises to take its Stems 2.0 function even further with an "unrivalled new engine that now achieves a truly revolutionary stem separation that is almost indistinguishable from author-made multi-tracks" and "incredible clarity on acapellas". 

VirtualDJ is a free software for non-commercial use, and costs $19/month for professionals. It can be downloaded for free from here.

Last year, DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs teamed up with VirtualDJ for a new video series. 3-Minute Mix presents some of the world’s leading DJs — picked from the ranks of Top 100 DJs — showcasing their skills in just three minutes on VirtualDJ. So far we've seen the likes of Fedde le Grand, Afrojack, Timmy Trumpet and more artists step up to deliver their 3-Minute Mix. You can watch all previous mixes here.
