CUMBERLAND, R.I., (November 25, 2024) — Today, Engine DJ™ announced an exciting expansion of its Stems functionality to users of the Denon® DJ PRIME™ 4+ and other Engine DJ-enabled hardware. Initially introduced in a special beta for the PRIME 4+, the Stems feature now allows users to isolate elements of their tracks, unlocking creative potential for dynamic mixing and remixing directly from the PRIME 4+ and additional Engine DJ hardware. With today’s release of Engine DJ 4.2, PRIME 4+ users will have free access to the Stems playback feature, while users of other Engine DJ-enabled devices from Denon DJ and Numark® can join the experience starting Wednesday, December 11 with a one-time software license purchase.

"With the release of Engine DJ 4.2, we’re delivering on our promise to provide DJs with the tools they need to unlock their creative potential,” said Tom Stoffer, Director of Development at Engine DJ. “After extensive testing and development, we found that desktop-rendered Stems deliver unparalleled performance, empowering artists to transform their sets and captivate audiences with fresh creative possibilities. The Stems feature was a commitment to our PRIME 4+ community, and we’re thrilled to extend this groundbreaking capability to more devices, enabling DJs everywhere to craft unforgettable musical experiences.

Starting today, users of all Engine DJ hardware can prepare tracks for Stems playback with Engine DJ Desktop 4.2, allowing them to pre-render files for optimal sound quality and ease of use on their devices. By processing tracks ahead of time, Engine DJ is able to offer Stems compatibility to a wider array of hardware, ensuring each user benefits from high-quality sound without limitations.
