It’s lucky they used a Mac. If he’d used a PC, Algoriddim would have been in last place!

Looking forward to high quality stems on PC like the competition…

I was planning to move to a PC, good to know. thanks for sharing.

Yeah shame it doesn’t sound the same on a PC. Funny how it came top for Windows for Dj software but we only get half of whats on Mac. For same price I guess

Standard laptop (or generic Windows) CPU’s have been weak on the AI processing front. You’d need trickery with a good GPU to get to the levels that Apple CPU’s have for some time (as they include AI accelerators).

The good news is that the new Intel (etc.) CPUs now also include these type of accelerators, so things are looking up for you guys.

No - does not compute :yum:

Competitor’s DJ software runs just fine on current PCs, giving the choice of live stem processing (either CPU or GPU) or preprocessing. Considering it’s already being done by VirtualDJ, Serato, Rekordbox and Traktor, IMO Algoriddim need to offer the same functionality.

Expecting us to go out and buy a new PC that’s incompatible with anything else? No thanks.

Everything is possible, but stems came to Apple because of the AI hardware. I can imagine rewriting that stuff to fit non-dedicated AI solutions can be a lot of work.

I suspect porting it to the native (new) AI hardware will be on their radar though.

What do you mean with ‘incompatible with everything else’? Those new CPUs will be the way forward anyway…

The Windows version also uses the latest Neural Mix technology. So, 80% NM quality on Windows should sound about the same as 80% on macOS and iOS. If you have a Windows on ARM device, with access to 100% NM quality, then it should sound about the same as 100% on macOS and iOS. I hope that helps!
