New in PCDJ DEX RE 3.19.0.0 (Oct 15, 2022)
- A free update for DEX 3 customers, version 3.19 completes our massive audio engine refresh that began in the previous release. As part of the upgrade, we’ve introduced an exciting new feature in 3.19 that will help DJs create seamless mixes and mashups called AIUnmixEQ™.
- Using AIUnmixEQ™, DEX 3 can isolate individual parts of a song using machine learning (deep neural networks, a flavor of AI). The industry refers to it as stem separation, or as we like to call it, real-time “unmixing”. The feature works with any standard audio, video, or karaoke tracks, including supported streaming services such as TIDAL or Beatsource LINK.
- Using DEX 3’s EQ knobs or kill pads, DJs can smoothly separate songs into three isolated stems:
- Vocals (High eq knob)
- Instruments (Mid eq knob)
- Drums/Percussion (Low eq knob)
- Our new AIUnmixEQ™ feature brings up new opportunities for DJs and KJs:
- Live mashups and seamless advanced remixing
- On-the-fly acapella or instrumental
- Instant karaoke tracks from regular tracks (with or without guide vocals
