Step 1. Install TRAKTOR

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TRAKTOR is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TRAKTOR into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support STEM.MP4 files.

Step 2. Create association of TRAKTOR with STEM.MP4 files

If, despite the installed application, the STEM.MP4 file does not start in the TRAKTOR application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STEM.MP4 or the program directory.

Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STEM.MP4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive.
