Serato has introduced a major update to its popular sampling plugin, which now includes stem-separation technology. Fueled by Serato’s proprietary machine-learning algorithm, the cutting-edge technology allows producers to quickly separate, isolate and manipulate source audio into four stems, without compromising sound quality.
Through Sample 2.0, producers can utilize Serato’s high-quality sampling and stem-splitting features while maintaining their workflow with their existing DAW.
“Every time I sit down with Serato Sample, I’m blown away by how fast I’m getting fresh ideas out. And let me tell you, the audio separation on this is crazy clean,” commented GRAMMY Award-nominated producer Jake One (Drake, Travis Scott, J. Cole).
GRAMMY Award-winning producer !llmind (Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Drake) also said, “Sampling used to be just chopping & stretching songs. Now, I get INSTANT access to audio stems in my DAW. Completely changes the game.”
Sample 2.0 is the first VST plugin to combine powerful sampling and stem-separation features into one premium, easy-to-use product. With the push of a button, Stems has the ability to split audio into four distinct tracks for vocals, melody, bass or drums. Sample 2.0 enables producers to integrate samples, acapellas and instrumentals into their tracks seamlessly through real-time audio source separation.
Additionally, Serato Sample incorporates features from the company’s legendary Pitch ‘n Time technology, allowing producers to time stretch and change keys while delivering best-in-class sound quality. Sample 2.0’s fast and intuitive features are making it simpler than ever for producers to tap into their creativity when sampling and remixing music.
“Innovation is at the centre of the Serato universe — not only in how we work, but how our community creates.” said Serato Chief Strategy Officer, Nick Maclaren. “Sample 2.0 brings stem separation to everyone’s fingertips, blowing the lid off what’s possible in the sampling space. We’re excited to launch this update, but mostly to see what producers will create with it.”
Version 2.0 of Sample also brings VST3 support, alongside VST and AU plugin formats for Windows and Mac.
The upgrade is free for existing users of Serato Sample. New users can try Serato Sample 2 with a free 30-day trial, or purchase a license for $149 USD at the Serato store and from distributor Plugin Boutique.
