SolowParticipant
I didn’t make a copy of the Windows 7 iso, but like everyone else Serato has been running pretty smooth with windows 10. No glitches or errors at all so far. Denon drivers are all working well too. Glad I made the switch.
SolowParticipantHaha
Sure thing
🙂
SolowParticipantI might have gotten here late but traktor is also an other option in this situation. But the denon will probably integrate with vdj better. VDU also has some functionality with parties. Whatever software you like should be your choice. Everyone has something that suits them. Make sure you don’t choose your software because of a controller since you’ll probably upgrade at some point. Hope you find your favorite
SolowParticipantI’ve been using Pioneer HDJ-500’s and they are pretty good. Bass is nice and punchy and highs are still pretty crisp. I hear good about TMA-1’s if you take care of them. Both will need some good burn in though.
SolowParticipantI’ll be sure to play some Daft Punk
SolowParticipantHey there. Lot’s of people like finding new music on soundcloud. Another good place to check is youtube. Some channels upload a lot of music with specific genres. There’s one called Trap City which has lots of trap, theres also EDM City etc. for those kinds of things. There’s some places that upload stuff that isn’t too overplayed on the radio. Also check out record labels. They have a variety of artists and music. You can also search for a “record pool.” or “DJ Pool” which is a website where you can give a paid subscription and then download any music on their website. Those are just a few tips.
SolowParticipantThanks guys bob won this one haha. Just need the support from the comminuty. Thanks.
SolowParticipantHey vintage don’t go ignoring me now lol!
SolowParticipantOk the french theme is confirmed. I’m gonna follow the format that I’ve seen a lot of other DJ’s using which is play the themed music as backround music for a while and then when people dance whip out the popular music. I checked with her and she likes the idea.
SolowParticipantHaha such a mix of headphones, anyone tried the aiaiai TMA-1 besides Phil?
SolowParticipantNice. I have my sisters grad party coming up. That’s gonna be my first one. Congrats, Dad lol
SolowParticipantAfter hearing you guys out and having some good sessions, I think I’ll stay with serato and with confidence. You have a good point on the serato flip Terry. I think there is a lot you can do with Serato, some of it just costs a little more. Thanks for all your answers guys!
SolowParticipantNice to hear your answers guys. I know Traktor has the rep as the controllerist software but what’s you’re stance on doing those things with serato. They’ve got the FX packs, serato flip and all those goodies. D-jam mentioned using traktor for home use and playing venues with cdj’s for most gigs. I’d probably do traktor in that situation. But for lots of home use like me, traktor would be ideal for really getting creative with tracks. But my gigs out will be parties where serato seems fit where stability and lack of configuration is needed. Right now I’m using MC2000 with Serato intro thinking about the upgrade but I still have the option to jump into traktor. I’ve tried them all. I’m not asking for a direct answer on this(choose this or that) that but feel free to leave it if you have one. But seems to boil down to flexibility vs stability and user friendliness. I might stick with Serato and pull the upgrade but still want to get a view of all the other users who used traktor pro not just le. I’m not necessarily on the fence but more of thinking would it be a good choice to switch over.
SolowParticipantI use the MC2000 too its a great piece of hardware. DDJ SB is nice but starting out you’ll probably want some longer pitchfaders to beatmatch with. Mixtracks are decent if you want to use auto gain. Can’t say much about the beatmix cause I don’t know much about reloop.
SolowParticipantWelcome I’m from CA too
