Tópico: Stems, is this normal?
OK so I'm a massive fan of Stems & use them in pretty much every single set I do. Be that on stage or on radio. It's real nice being able to drop to an acapella as you mix in the next tune to keep things flowing. My issue though is speed!

My system can do Stems 2.0 live & I have done it that way many times. The issue comes when I'm also running other things on the system. I've had VDJ completely lock up, degrade the main audio output (considerably - everyone notices) & just flat out refuse to start up the stems engine.

So to not cause any live headaches, I took to using the 'save prepared stems' feature as soon as I saw it was available & not really looked back since.

However my main thing now is the overall performance of preparing stems in the first place. I've tried various settings over many months & yet still when using the save prepared stems feature, the GPU seems to bounce on usage alot.

Anyone any ideas on how to sort this out?
NOTE: Doing stem seperation live takes about a minute per tune (maxes the GPU), the prepared stems takes alot longer.

The GTX1050 is a lower level card and 4gb VRAM is pretty much the base amount required to calculate stems. Taking a minute per track seems a bit excessive though.
 

Saving the prepared stems in advance can take 5 minutes per track! Which is what is annoying me the most. I have nearly 4 thousand tracks to sort!
