"Well, remember you're not spending $200 for just an album. You're spending $200 for a revolutionary device that allows you to listen to music in a completely new way through stem separation, and that allows you to mix and make music on the go. You're also spending that $200 to become a part of a community that wants to change technology and music for the better. On top of that you’re getting Donda 2, which has enormous value. So I think that's a really important thing to stress. If I could put out one thing from this story today, that I want to make clear, is that you're getting something revolutionary. You're getting a first generation technology product that has the best reviews for a first generation technology product than anything we've seen in a decade, maybe since the original iPhone."
Why would it do that if the songs are coming from the person selling the device, why not just send the stems to the device?
How does it even do that? Best I can think of is some AI shit. But it's not like you can just cleanly separate the stems of a (compiled?) audio file where they aren't already separate, right?
Apparently there's a companion software that you run on computer and download songs to the device with. I didn't realize that!
I actually think you nailed it on the head with some AI shit haha. I've heard some of the split tracks. It works surprisingly well if the distinction between vocals, bass, drums, etc is clear, but it fails pretty hard when there are more instruments. Certainly not a clean separation, but enough for your average Kanye Stan to start looping and messing with haha.
