Traktor Pro 3 compatibility​

Traktor Pro 3 Limitation

.stem.m4a files created in NUO-STEMS 4 are not compatible with Traktor Pro 3.

When trying to load .stem.m4a files created in NUO-STEMS 4 in Traktor Pro 3, you will see an error:

Can not read stem metadata for file: FILE.stem.m4a. Detail: version: 2 is not supported.

This is a deliberate decision for NUO-STEMS 4 to not support Traktor Pro 3 - I want you to support Traktor team by upgrading to Traktor Pro 4. I strongly believe that 50$ (as of Black Friday deals) is a great value for what you're getting - it's an investment into future of Traktor.

Traktor Pro 3 was released October 18, 2018. Which is more than 7 years ago.

How to use .stem.m4a in Traktor Pro 3?

If you need to use .stem.m4a in Traktor Pro 3, you can continue to use NUO-STEMS 3 with Traktor Pro 3.
