While DJing, STEM files allow you to interact with four different musical elements of a track inde-
pendently. The four STEM parts of a track can be modified individually to create spontaneous in-
strumentals, remixes, or mashups. You can create transitions between elements STEM-by-STEM,
or apply effects and EQ to a specific STEM part, rather than an entire track. Furthermore, you can
mix musical elements across multiple STEM Decks, for example, taking the vocals from one Stem
File and mixing it with the beat from another.
