Topic: Stems 2.0 cuts off 1st transient
This was mentioned in another thread, and I have been experienced this issue and can't figure it out (although I'm sure it's simple).

My computer isn't powerful enough for real-time, but I have pre-computed several songs for stems. However, when I use the song, especially in a loop, the first transient audio drops out. This is disconcerting because it's usually a kick drum that's missing. It's almost like the audio is peak compressed on the down beat, then pumps back in afterward. Is there a setting that I'm missing that helps with this?

FWIW, I have only noticed this if I drop the vocal. I have not noticed this when playing the full song.

TIA

I've been dealing with the same thing. It's was consistent, then it stopped with many songs, and then it was back. Frustrating. I have a 2022 MacBook Pro on MacOS Ventura and it's on prepared stems and real-time.

Here's a link to a screen capture video I did this morning showing what I described. Looks like a few folks are having this same issue. If I could fix this issue, everything else is working like a DREAM.

Might be a Mac only thing. Doesn't happen on my PC.

Yeah, I haven't seen very many other people with this issue... I think so.

Yeah I see... mine does that, but even with Vocal stem on after processing (whether real-time or prepared). I'm also having a Beatsource - search lock up issue too... but if this first transient thing AND the Beatsource issue wouldn't happen, this would be PERFECT for me!

The beat is not missing. On the first Beat is a "white noise" and the ai think is a vocal. You can see the green Color of the wave. this i a hint of an detectet Vocal. Try the Second 4 Beats i think there is no missing beat.

I think you might have hit the nail on the head. Now that I'm going back and running the tracks that I noticed it, they all seem to have that same thing in common. Now that I know this, I think I can find ways to work around it.
