Alfajor posted:I've been trying to use Traktor, but it doesn't seem to be saving the BPM of my tracks. If I load a song, it'll scan and save it, but I want it to scan my whole library, but when I make it analyze either by folder or by selecting a bunch of songs, nothing happens. Am I missing something? Is it just not saving them on the first time? I ask because I thought the same thing, but it was just that it didnt populate the BPM field in the browser, but next time I loaded traktor up, it was all there.

As of Traktor 2.5, I've seen it be more selective about tracks having their metadata saved (including the analysis/stripe) If you analyze the track and do nothing, it doesn't seem to save it. If you analyze it, load the track, and play it and possibly change the grid or something, it saves it when the track is unloading. Clicking the lock to protect the metadata also forces a write, this is largely what I've been doing as of late Didn't used to be like this in any versions prior to 2.5. Kinda maddening to be honest, but I'm sure they'll fix it

I think I'll just go back to VirtualDJ if I can't get it to show that info easily, even if people look down on it. It's not like I'm going to be a club DJ anyway, I'm DJing in my living room.

Does anyone here use Rekordbox? What do you think of the 2.01 update? Anyone else having the issue where you need to manually relocate some of your tunes randomly?

I've had this issue for a few versions, I know the tracks are there but for some reason it loses them. Annoyingly it never remembers the waveforms either on an update so I have to re-analyse stuff. What I do like is the fact it now pulls down the key of the tracks! I'm just running through some stuff now in order to test it all out.

Annoyingly it never remembers the waveforms either on an update so I have to re-analyse stuff. Yeah, the "losing locations of tracks" issue isn't new but it sure is annoying. Other than that I've been really happy with Rekordbox. I just discovered that if you have to burn CDs for a gig you can create your playlists in Rekordbox and then drag them into iTunes to burn. The last time I needed to do this I recreated the playlists in iTunes and it was a gigantic pain in the rear end. I haven't played with the key detection yet. I rarely use master tempo so I don't think it would be too useful for me most of the time.

So I went outside my bedroom last night and played for 2 hours at a party hosted at my friends house for two hours. Turns out my Top40 is kinda lacking for house parties, but everyone was happy with the House music I played in between to keep everyone moving. and No-one hates Gangnam Style.

I just sold my NS6 because I never used it... mainly because the itch software was too buggy. Also for some reason I could never get used to the way the NS6 handled audio levels. I haven't seen any screen shots of Serato DJ yet, so I'm wondering if they're finally making the controller interface more Scratch Live like.

Beatport upped their maximum price and some songs are now $2.99 In particular, in my current cart they are mostly songs that are electronica and <3 minutes in length. Really bizzare :| Solus posted:So how's about this new thing: Serato DJ This looks really awesome, going to consider buying one.

keevo posted:Ugh. Wasn't Beatport supposed to be the cheaper and higher quality alternative to iTunes? Nope. iTunes wasn't even selling a lot of EDM at that time unless it was a major label like Ultra, and digital downloads were a relatively new thing for the EDM scene. Actually I remember seeing one of their original flyers (they are local to me), and their big deal was being the alternative to vinyl. IIRC their tagline was "There hasn't been anything this big to happen to dance music since the CDJ". I remember checking it out that night (as someone who still used to lug a huge crate of vinyl to shows), looking for some of the artists that were killing it on vinyl (I was buying a lot of gabriel and dresden, hooj, positiva etc tunes at the time, don't judge me), not seeing any of my favorite artists and thinking it would never take off.

Yeah, the only time Beatport was priced equivalent to iTunes was when they sold multiple quality levels back when they first launched in 2004. They very quickly went to 320-only as I recall. They launched pretty much the same time as iTunes Their initial label selection was poo poo but it expanded quickly

Christmas came early today in the form of a 25% off beatport coupon. Going to save $75+ on this beatport cart. I'd post it here for others but it's locked to my account. Here is a 20% anyone can use: OCTMXMG e: sorry about my previous post about the $2.99 songs, that was incorrect. 4 tracks in my cart were set to AIFF for some reason (?) which is +$1.

My brother in law is an up and coming DJ in the Indian/Punjabi scene. He plays at clubs across the states and in London occassionally. He also does weddings every now and again and records a lot of songs that he puts out. He's also my secret santa this year. I was wondering what kind of things I could get him with a $100-$150 budget that may not be detrimental to his work, but would be good bang for the buck things he'd like but may not necessarily have. I know he uses a Mac Book Pro, but that's about it. Worst case, I can subtly find out what kind of equipment he has already if it's necessary. All the help is much appreciated!

You could get him a nice gig bag for that much money if he doesn't already have one. Headphones or some basic equipment would probably work too but it's hard to recommend without knowing what he currently uses. If he's releasing stuff and doing a lot of parties he probably has his own gear pretty dialed in, but depending on what format and what equipment he uses there are probably some accessories you could get him that he'd appreciate.

If he uses a mac, maybe an extra mac book charger? I know lots of parties where an extra mac book charger would've have come in handy. That way he would always have a back-up in his gig bag in case he had to leave in a hurry and forgets his charger at home. Then maybe a cheap gift card to some sort of local music store, so he can maybe buy a new tune. I'm the kind of DJ who likes to always have a backup-plan. If he isn't like that, you might want to invest more in a gift-card to a local record shop. Even if he is just getting some credit for buying some CDs, it can be useful to a DJ.

I have this bag and while yeah it was a little pricey, I am thankful for it every time I use it. You can find their other bags for a bit less (and probably that one too), but this bag is going to outlast everything currently in it most likely. It would be good to find out what he already has either way though, if you want to get him a bag it helps to know what all needs to fit, and if you want to get him something else it helps to know what he already has.

This is by far the best dj bag I have ever owned in 10 years, and its super comfy to wear, even when fully loaded with a shitload of heavy gear. The thing you can see so well in the pics is behind the backpack straps, are two huge pads for your back the separate in the spinal area so no pressure gets put on your spine.

Hmmm. I'm in dire need of a new DJ bag. Been using an old technics record bag which doesn't really fit all my stuff, and the velcro that keeps the flap closed is basically shot My usual packout: Traktor box w/ cables Stanton Uberstand 15" Laptop / power cord Ziplock bag full of random adaptors Traktor X1 Sony VDR900 headphones Small CD wallet Small stack of vinyl (sometimes)

That Mono bag is seriously great. My only complaint is that there isn't a ton of room for vinyl, you can't really bring a full set of records in there, it's mainly for laptop / controller DJing. Fits a VCI-300 really well, and all the gear super easy, but you can only bring a handful of records. Anyway if you don't plan on playing more than 10 records, that bag is perfect

Jesus. I usually roll with 13" Macbook Macbook power HD-25 II headphones maybe 6 records, 2 of which are serato Serato box (sometimes, depending on if the club has one) A few cables and I use this bag: http://www.chromebagsstore.com/bags/laptop-bags/soma.html It works pretty well, it's not super comfortable for long periods but it's very durable. Sometimes I bring a trigger finger but not very often. let the gear circlejerk commence
