DJ Software Issue: Audio Dropout with Stem Separation
Hello everyone,
When I mix two tracks together, one of them using stem separation, I’m experiencing an issue where the track with the stem separation stops playing audio during the mix.
There is an audible “click” and then the sound cuts out. I can temporarily “re-engage” the sound by performing a short “baby scratch.” However, the audio drops out again shortly after.
My setup is:
- Controller: Rane One MK2
- Processor: Intel Core i7
- RAM: 16 GB
- OS: Windows 11
I’m looking for suggestions on what might be causing this. Has anyone encountered this specific behavior?
Thanks!

Hi @Niels_J_Johansen, welcome to the Community! Sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue.
- Can you please capture and share a short video of this?
- If you disable Key Lock on your decks does this help?
- What music source are you using?
- If you’re using local music, what file formats and are they stored internally or on an external drive?

Thank you for your reply.
To briefly answer your questions, I use local MP3 files from my PC.
Disabling Key Lock solved the problem. A bit more information is below.
The problem only occurs when I use acapella. If I have another stem active, such as drums, and turn them down almost completely using the Neuro function on the low-frequency knob, the problem also does not occur. Apparently, the problem only arises when there is “empty” sound-wise (silence/minimal signal). It would be great if it were possible to also have Key Lock active. But the solution without Key Lock works for now.
Best regards,
Niels
You’re welcome @Niels_J_Johansen, please note that both Key Lock and Neural Mix are processor intensive features, so using them in conjunction on older/less powerful devices can result in additional latency. If you could capture and share a short video, we might be able to provide additional help. Thanks!
