It looks like they are embracing AI.
That's a good thing.

That's a good thing. The key question that needs to be answered is how intensive will the workload be on lower ended PC's when using stem separation. I'll wait for a few weeks to upgrade until other users chime in on the AI stuff. Not really interested on those who are running high ended units but would like to see how lower ended PC's perform. HP Envy DV7, Win 10 Pro, 16 GB, 8 cores, I7 3630QM CPU, SSD drives (2).

My Desktop will be 15 years old next february, has an old quad core Athlon 945 processor with an SSD drive, it took about two minutes and twenty five seconds to create the Stems, As most users will have a more recent powerful PC, it should be a lot quicker. Have to say I am very impressed how the upgrade is running here on this old pc

I can tell you from using stem splitters in Song Master Pro and Presonus Studio One 7 that splitting stems takes several minutes on my rather powerful PC. It is the one audio thing I do that takes the longest time, so I don't think the times you report are unreasonably slow at all.

Stem splitting of a typical song takes about 20 seconds. I would say the range is 10-40 seconds.
Machines with more CPU scores are faster. My intel i7 with 14 cores takes 15 seconds on a typical 3-4 minute pop song.

I think the stem splitter is very fast I get 16-22 seconds for the 7 songs I tried so far.

Yes, it seems they are using Stems Pro from Zplane, it's really fast compared with other similar algorithms and it works great, even with older material.
Latest BIAB version, latest build.

Kind of surprised there isn't a Pinned announcement of the new release in this forum yet (and maybe some clean up of other pinned items).
Just mentioning .. since every regular update seems to get one
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Thanks Noel. I found the real tracks. Usually the 'Real Styles' are listed with demos. Maybe they will be posted later.

Hi Mike, The only link to demo styles that I know is the "band" demo. This demo is a rendering of the .STY file that PG Music created for a particular Realtrack. These .STY files ship with Band In A Box. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29283&filename=band demo - style.jpg) There is also the below web page which gives some more information on styles. I notice that on this web page, the link to Xtra Styles Pak 19 is not yet operating, so I'm guessing that that is a work in progress and should be up and running soon. That said, I'll report it to the PG Music Team in case it is a website issue. https://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.htm--Noel
