i searched for almost every possible option but with no luck yet:
I do own 2x SC 6000 but wont get the (created) Stems shown in EngineDJ on my Players.
What I’ve done as troubleshoot so far:
restarted both players
logged me out and back in on both players with my InMusic Profile
created Stems with other Songs
formatted both internal SSD’s
created an USB Stick and tried to copy the STEM Playlist onto it
I’ve deactivated and activated the “STEM-ability” on both players
I’m not able to Sync the STEM Playlist onto my 6000’s … no matter what I try!
Do I need to pay the 10 Bucks extra fee to get the opportunity to copy the Stem Playlist?
(I do own a complete Setup - 2x 6000’s, 1x 1850 - if Denon forces me to pay the 10 Bucks extra when I’ve paid ~6000€ for the Hardware - sorry - then I’m out … that’s insane!)
You have to create stems in EnginDJ desktop and that syncs to your SC6000… It works like a charm for me.And yes, I also bought the SC6000 recently and was amased by the fact that I had to pay the extra 10… but it is worthed
And yes I expect to get it free because the Prime4+ customers (about 2000€) got the feature for free! Why not the customers who paid nearly the triple?
Standalone stems were first offered as a beta exclusively to Prime 4+ owners, because (apparently) Denon wanted a small test group and there weren’t as many Prime 4+ owners as other devices.
Unfortunately this plan went astray in two ways. Retailers started advertising the 4+ as the first unit to have standalone stems, which made people believe it came out of the box with stems. This led to people buying the 4+ just because they thought it would have stems.
Therefore to offset this, when Denon released the stem system we have now, it was made available for free to 4+ owners as compensation. They still have to buy a license for other Denon units they own.
Everyone else has to pay.
Personally I think if you’re prepared to spend 6000 on equipment. then spending 10 on a new feature that was not there when you bought it really should not be an issue.
I mean, the alternative is sell your 6000$ Prime club set and buy a +$$$ Pioneer one where you don’t even have the option to have stems without adding a laptop+Rekordbox to the mix?
It’s about the communication from Denon to the customers - its not about the money in first hand - its about the details from the “deal” wich you cant find on official Websites. Your short explanation could solve so much communication problems imho!
Most updates to all units are free since 2017. Stems simply are not. So, it is about the money described in your topic start. It costs €6010 now, if you want stems. Then again, it’s a one-time fee and not a subscription.
Apart from above, welcome to the forum! Stick around and you’ll see it’s a very nice community of people sharing the same passion.
Yes. Stems access was included with the Prime 4+. There’s a one time fee of $10 for all other players and with that you can authorize up to 4 players on your profile.
