same chipset as mpc. rk3288 and 2-4 gb of ram.

I bet this wont come to mpc in order to sell people extra hardware. Glad i own an engine unit, cant wait to try it out.

It was always going to sound poor, it's an early alpha, and they're processing live audio. They'll tweak it, plus MPC doesn't need to use it in real time, quality almost certainly better when dealing with a fixed length audio sample.

TBH, the 'mp3- vibe' is pretty much standard for stem processing software

Please forgive me if I ask something too obvious, but when you all talk about stems, you mean:

A) a file with several tracks from where you can mix the acapella, bass, chords, etc..

B) a software that somehow separates tracks from a stereo source, maybe not 100% accurately

or maybe C) something else?
