It was $9.99, there will be alot of processing it doesn’t do and alot to be desired. I don’t think for that cheap a price it was built to “learn”

Pre-programmed is much more believable, even that wont be perfect. It’s not.
The allure is “sumpin’ sumpin’ somewhat useable in the box”

So basically it's the public school edition.

There's no shame is moving samples to a computer for this kind of work and moving the samples back.

Is that what that does?? Cubase Pro comes with a 'lite' version sort of, but I don't think I've ever installed it (sounds like something I wouldn't use anyways hah).

Yes, there is shame for using a computer for anything when the point of the device is meant to be standalone. I'm not complaining about the quality of the stem seperation, Ill take what I can get. Maybe they will be able to improve the algrorithm in a future update.

Thats the way I looked at it. I'm not gonna expect Izotope RX quality for Akai Pricing.
