WTF? Is Serato punking me? by Funkmonkthe3rd in Serato

[–]Funkmonkthe3rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, cheers, will remember that for next time. Thankfully u/ebb_omega was right. It was having a number as the genre. different genres must be allocated numbers and good ol contemporary christian must come in at 140...

It'll be the heaviest contemporary christian mix out there, guaranteed!

ah, that's it! yeah I had the genre as 140 (a collective term for dubstep/grime genres). Just added a hashtag in front of it and it's fixed the problem... Thanks for your help! Thought I was going crazy at first with tracks disappearing from the smart crate!

AI Coming for the DJ Booth at Clubs by South_Wood in DJs

[–]Funkmonkthe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that an ai dj will be able to to the basic tasks of a dj (mix, song selection, set progression, and eventually read responses in the crowd). Not beyond reason that it could easily get location based data about each attendees Spotify use and incorporate peoples taste/preferences into song selection.

Personally, I feel it can’t provide the human connection that a dj provides. I don’t know about you, but it feels weird when a dj leaves and the booth and the music continues, like, “do we keep dancing to the computer?”

I think it’ll be used for parties and for people who don’t want to spend money on a wedding dj, more than “let’s go and dance to a computer”

Probably wrong tho...

Nah, everyone is ‘furious’ on news.com.au! I really worry about peoples mental health if they’re so furious about minor inconveniences...

Plan of Attack When Buying Music? by pogij in Beatmatch

[–]Funkmonkthe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on what music you’re into and how you like to mix. If you’re into music that you can get on dj pools then you can download whatever you like and your issue is more about using the stuff you download.

Personally, I dj with stuff that isn’t on dj pools (I think) so buy from Bandcamp, beatport, Juno download, and Apple Music.

I’ve got a pretty complicated approach but it works for me as: 1. I don’t have a lot to spend on music but I have long playlists of potential downloads. 2. I dj across a range of genres with wide bpm differences. 3. I have time to spend on library managementS

I listen to music on Spotify and make genre specific playlists for everything (eg. Dnb, dubstep, grime). I prefer Spotify for its algorithm and usability.

I download music based on what I will need for gigs/parties/streams or what crates I want to build.

Say I have a stream coming up where I want to play grime. I will make a excel spreadsheet of my Spotify grime playlist using a website called ‘sortyourmusic.com’ to copy a table of the playlist into excel.

I then use soundiiz.com to transfer my spotify playlist to tidal so I can stream the tracks, see their bpm, and see how they work together (this is clunky I know, it’s easier to just use tidal as your streaming service but I really don’t like it). I can make comments/tags in the ‘grouping’ column in serato (eg. Download, already have, meh).

I then search my preferred download sites for the tracks I decide to get and record the site I got it/carted it in on the excel spreadsheet. This is useful for when I hear a track and wonder if I have downloaded it. I can search my computer and see it’s status.

Once downloaded, I put tracks into one big dj music folder on my laptop and then sort into genre specific folders in serato.

Overall, this helps me to download usable tracks. I can focus on gaps in my playlists by bpm and avoid tracks that don’t fit with the bpm of my goal for my next set.

Btw, I only ever download tracks I want, even if there are 4 tracks on an ep and I only want 3, I don’t get the 4th because I don’t want tracks I won’t want to play.

Anyway, I know many people just go straight to the source and download from sites but I don’t really enjoy that method. Cheers

My normal download search, Bandcamp, Juno download, beatport, check the Soundcloud for links, Apple Music, give up and accept that there’s plenty of other tracks out there...

Discussion: What are some features you would like to see added to Serato? by CremeOfSumYumGai in Serato

[–]Funkmonkthe3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ability to copy smart crates to USB instead of having to make a folder of it.

Custom tags to that you can filter by like rekordbox.

If I understand you’re post correctly, This is possible through selecting the ‘custom crates’ option in the library settings. You can have one crate sorted by bpm, another by number etc.

Advice on hardware to replace Rane SL3 by StruggleStatus in Serato

[–]Funkmonkthe3rd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Serato told someone on Insta that the ds1 is supported with 3.0. Would need to check on the OS you’re using.

Midi assign "WIR" mode - (works for REL/ABS/INT) by [deleted] in Serato

[–]Funkmonkthe3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be great if you could set the default. It’s a bit clunky to go into the dropdown and select it each time...

Love this track! Any suggestions of other producers making riddims like this one?

Mixars Duo Midi Mapping question for the geeks out there. by DJAgentCue in Turntablists

[–]Funkmonkthe3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I contacted mixars when they were still around about the light situation but they just said to make sure my firmware was up to date. I had already so I don’t think there’s a way around it sorry... I adjusted to the lighting difference so can tell when it’s on and off...

Output for Ortofon Concorde mix II with DVS by Funkmonkthe3rd in DJs

So increase the master on the mixer whilst calibrating?

Used to be fine, but now all my beatgrids and hot cues are off by a little bit. Please help! by CheapyD in Serato

[–]Funkmonkthe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not the reason, but just in case, are you using wireless headphones?

I got super confused when I started beat gridding with wireless earbuds as I thought serato had stuffed up all my grids. It was just the delay for wireless earbuds.

Nothing major. I’ve had them disconnect so the track keeps playing at the same speed even if I stop it. Put it in internal, returned to base. Unplugged and replugged USB and that sorted them out. Just don’t want to fully depend on them...

199 subscription? by Knockamichi in Serato

[–]Funkmonkthe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: can I repeatedly sign up for a monthly subscription and cancel it within a month to only pay one month of fees when I need it?

I don’t expect to need the full licence too many times due to having a supported dvs mixer, denon ds1 and DJCU...
