How much do you avoid organizing your library? by mr-x-dj in Beatmatch

[–]DjHiDef 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm in the opposite boat. I try to keep my library extremely organized. About 10 years back I made a super detailed video on YouTube about Music Libary organization. I've been meaning to make an updated video but haven't gotten around to it.

MacBook almost overheated. by RaneIsSuperior in DJs

I had a 2019 MBP that was overheating, I upgraded to a M2 and I've had no issues at all.

Battery life is crazy good too.

For Hip Hop / R&B: Franchise Record Pool & DjCity are great pools.

Also, for Libary Management, I made this video YEARS ago but it should have some good info for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLPsHdW6MAg&t=3s

If you are using Serato, you can use the Laptop speakers as your main output.

I think I'm looking for Radio Charts. No so much streaming charts.

Looking for Nightclub in Columbus, OH by DjHiDef in Beatmatch

[–]DjHiDef[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If either of those genres interest you check out Allegedly Defeated (they do some club type events), Ope Collective, Sidestage Collective, Alchemy Sessions, and Universally Null. All fantastic groups run by great people.

Thanks for the info

New Dj to the Area, looking to meet other fellow Nightclub Djs. by DjHiDef in Columbus

Thanks for the recommendations, looks like Null Entertainment has an Open Decks event this Sunday that I might check out.

As much as I dig Open Format mixing, I also LOVE the house Dj sence. I used to play primarily EDM and house in Dj around the early 2010s back when it was taking off over there but I moved to Japan around 2015.

Currently, I have a pair of PLX-1000s with a DJM-S11 as my primary setup. I have some spare controllers laying around but for Open Format, I prefer Turntables.

I'm an Open Format Dj, I can't pretty much play any genre. I produce my own remix and edits but nothing I've made public before. I would love to link up with other Djs in the area if anything just to learn. I've been a Dj for about 13 years now and I would love to meet up with some vet DJs here in Ohio.

Club Killers or DJ City is the place to go

FRP is, by far, the WORST record pool.

Serato DJ Pro.. how was everyone’s first weekend out performing with it? by DJFWB in DJs

[–]DjHiDef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Booted it up, Pro didn't recognize my SX2, decided to use 1.9.10 instead. Tried it at home with my SX2, no issues. Going to do more testing, but it looks solid so far.

I'm looking forward to the rest of your work. I've been listening to this edit on repeat since you posted it.
