Serato Stems is the biggest moment in sampling since the MPC,” says Cookin Soul, the GRAMMY Award-winning producer/DJ 

“There have been certain groundbreaking things that have changed the art of DJing: The invention of Serato; not having to carry records; the invention of Phase; not having to worry about vibration in a live setting. I think Serato Stems will be bigger than all of them from a creative standpoint. This is about to be the most fun I’ve ever had DJing. I’m telling you, my brain is on fire!” – DJ Jazzy Jeff

“With this update, Serato Studio is the center of my universe. This is a big moment for music production.” – Grammy-nominated Producer DJ Khalil

The Announcement:

Serato and Beatclub are pillars of the beatmaking community, providing technology and resources that allow producers to reach their full creative potential. Today, Serato and Beatclub announce “Serato & Beatclub Present: The Future Of Sampling,” a conversation between Beatclub founder and legendary hitmaker Timbaland and GRAMMY-winning producer DJ Khalil (Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Drake) about the future of sampling. Moderated by O.P. Miller, Artist Relations Manager at Serato, the conversation will include a live demonstration of the recently-launched Serato Studio 2.0, equipped with the revolutionary Serato Stems technology, which makes sampling easier and more intuitive than ever.

Powered by Serato’s one-of-a-kind machine-learning algorithm, Stems splits audio into distinct tracks for vocals, bass, drums, and melodies, enabling producers to instantly create acapellas and instrumental tracks and providing easy integration of additional samples or original sounds with the push of a button. Serato Stems is the latest evolution in hip-hop’s signature sonic innovation–while DJs and producers once needed turntables and precise timing to isolate breakbeat, Stems allows producers to isolate and flip any part of a record to create a brand new piece of art.

Over the course of the conversation, Timbaland and DJ Khalil will draw on their decades of industry experience to educate the community about their creative processes, and how they see Serato Studio and Stems changing the way producers work. The two hip-hop veterans will cover every aspect of the beatmaking process, commenting on their illustrious careers and how the art of sampling has changed in the 50 years since the birth of hip-hop.
