hi Chris m, am glad I found your content, just signed up to your substack and will be digging in, I can't find the Mac shortcut you made for deleting poopie files, is it on there? thanks a lot, looking forward to that!
This is flat out the best dj info ive found. Real life tips and solutions. I used to spin jungle and disco house plus alot of straight up disco/funk etc. this is 30 yrs ago. Long story i went to prison,spent a lot of years away. Lost all my vinyl in a fire while i was in the can as well as equipment. Anyways i got out (and went back in a couple times) got married, life was great but she died and i kind of lost my way. In the video you talk about waiting 24 hrs. and listening to a track again, I used to do that with music before Id spin it too, funny u mentioned that. Anywayb'm kind of trying to get back to a point where things made sense and you know 30 years ago spinning music,hitting 3 raves in 5 days before life turned into a shitshow. Im 48 I'm not going to be fucking Raving but I'm thinking seriously again back into the dj end of things. But theres been a few changes since the last time I stood behind a couple of decks I got to say this is really helpful video though it's clear concise and funny thank you for putting this out there
I've been in and out a few times, once for six years once for 3 once for almost 5, although I was doing 12 years that time but won an appeal, I got married in between the last two but I've been out for good since 2014 which would have been when I was 38
The most heart warming moment of djing for me is one time my fav DJ sent me a whole unreleased EP after me praising a performance of him playing one of tracks on it at the rave in my country, and just talking about the original artist the edit was based on. Thanks MRD (of 1988), that is belief in humanity restored!
I love your DJ library system. Gonna be implementing them to my own Recordbox library! THANK YOU SO MUCH🔥🔥 **Also love the way how u insert subtle jokes (the capitalist one cracked me up)
Hi Chris, just been watching many of your vids, because if all goes well I'll have 2 CDJ3000s coming at the beginning of october. I know big IF at the moment. Anyway that aside. Thanks a lot for all the really really helpful videos. I'm in the same situation as you were. I have 650 playlists and over 10'000 tracks in Itunes. Coming from Traktor I never bothered building a Tarktor Library, because let's face it, Traktors Library still sucks after 100 years. Unfortunately the Music apps Library is getting worse with each update and has been for a while now. So I will watch this video twice, take notes, and start on recordbox. From Scratch. :-))))) THX a lot
@@ReallyChrisM thanks a lot. I've been busy with tags and colouring systems. After watching the Masterclass vid of Pioneer on the CDJ3000 I was able to see parts of how you can filter in different ways. I'm adjusting my Recordbox Tagging and Traffic Light to how CDJ3000 works, or can work. One thing I'm not sure about is filter by Release Year of tracks. That would be quite cool because in between I could filter to find an old banger which would match the other criterias of the playing track. Do you have any ideas of how to implement the Release year into the filtering system of the CDJ3000?
You don't have to delete all of your music to become organized. You can simply place them in a different folder and drive. Some music that you won't be playing could be useful for sampling intros and outro or for creating mashups or DJ edits. I agree that having only the music you'll be playing is very important. I delete music all of the time, but I don't mind having a big bone yard of resources for production purposes. When it's time to perform live, you'll have just the songs that are mixable and playable pre-organized.
I wonder if this would work for a PA system with multiple speakers. And I wonder how it works with subs. I’d love a video covering calibration for PA’s.
Bandcamp (hopefully not RIP soon) has been my favorite for sourcing music. I pay way more per track but grab WAV, 320s, and FLAC for everything I buy. I haven't played out in years but I'm still really apprehensive about ever playing MP3s on a system, even 320s. I think the cringe of people playing 128k bootleg MP3s over club systems tainted me back in the 00s. +1 for the DnB crew. It's one of the few genres where you can meet and interact with your musical heroes....and beg for "dubs".
Great advice ! I got turns Sl 12s techs & the old SL Rane box which is not supported by serato . But the disc drivers are still sealed as I never got round to using it. Originally I was into breaks ( not D n b more for cutting extending ) over time I got more n more into older vintage sounds mostly 60s stuff I've got a large collected that I want format as mp3s . Some djs say if you got enough power on a decent laptop the rane boxes will work so I'm hoping I can load mp3 streams onto the vynls .But not sure if it will work . I also got a new rane controller & reloop reflux audio interface & powerful laptop . But more interested getting the vintage music on the 12s then in the future transfer to the laptop & create lists eg northern soul , funk , psyche rock , garage punk , prog , rock roll, surf , studio one , ska etc
I am worried that I get more excited by well organised library structures than playing the music. Like why just find songs, maybe I can find the chunks of my brain I left in every club toilet ever. I also can't use a poop tag because I have a genre in my breakcore lists that is actually poo songs. Thank you for helping me organise this, I can guarantee audiences of at least one will be thoroughly horrified by my ability to choose the songs they hate most with expert efficiency. I am a success!
Awesome video! Rekordbox’s file management is absolutely insane! I’m starting out and are more interested in Open-format DJ-ing and finding the stems in Serato to be super useful. Does anyone know if Serato has an equally good file management system?
nope, Serato music management is super dummy simple..using it when coming from RB is just painful🤦♂️😅 RB music management is indeed insane but of course because they started there😁 however Pioneer bought Serato so hang on, RB stems should improve soon😁
Thanks for creating such a detailed walkthrough sprinkled with just the right amount of humor! However, how do you actually organise the files themselves, outside of rekordbox? I tried using Apple Music for this but eventually gave up, and now I've got a plethora of folders full of duplicates and complete chaos. Help?
Hey you mentioned something about purchasing songs.... you happen to know how I might be able to purchase a track from the Amazon UK site if I'm in the states ? I've tried using a VPN but that doesn't work? And its a remix I can't find ANYWHERE, except for Amazon UK site.
Hi Chris, i would really really liked to do the step 5 and delete songs from collection from RB also from my computer. I made a playlist (not intelligent playlist tho) that i put songs i dont want anymore in it, right click and selected the same option as you that make a m3u8 file but when i delete this file it doesnt delete my songs from my computer. I dont have a Mac and dont have shortcut apps. Can you help with this ? Thank you :)
Question, when downloading music, is it better to start off with just one folder on my macbbok having all the music then categorize on Rekordbox or to organize each song into different sub folders on my macbook based on the genres?
@@ReallyChrisM Okay I like your approach and I have one last question just to clarify. Using your approach, if I mostly play a combination of Amapiano, Afrohouse and AfroTech, when I download the music I can have it all in a Music Folder then Sub Folders labelled Amapiano , AfroHouse...etc. Then on RB I can go into heavier categorisation of say for the Amapiano folder and tag every song either as 'Private School Amapiano', '‘Amapiano-Sgija' , 'Amapiano-Anthems' etc
WOW Chris, really impressive work all round, now I'm hoping a bit of cheap but honest flattery has warmed you up to answering a simple question about running your delete shortcut... when one runs this and navigates to the m3u8 file, if I open it it goes straight to itunes. what do I have to do to make this godsend of a tool work? thanks so much for this shortcut. its beyond me
Hm it sounds like you may be opening the m3u8 file directly before running the shortcut. Make sure you are running the shortcut as the first step. It'll then ask you to select the file itself - this shouldn't open any programs
At 16:00 munites into the video you Deleted tracks from playlist shortcut. How do i get this shortcut on my mac? I couldn't find it where you said i can find where it explains on your newsletter page.
Hi! Nice video, a question please 🙏 When you download music from bpm supreme, can you play music through usb on cdj? Or you need the laptop? Thanks so much.
If you are preparing tracks on RB on your laptop and then exporting to USB to play on standalone the majority of things spoken about here should work :)
Hi Chris Glad found your channel I'm making the switch from Traktor to RB got DDJ FLX-10 so trying to work everything out for the weekend I currently use an External HHD for my files so running RB on a Dell and MAC would the files I've done on the Dell like Playlists with tags etc be possible to be transferred to the mac so can prep on my dell Transfer onto the mac if you get where I'm coming from ? MANY Thanks
Welcome aboard! You would need to either manually backup/restore the libraries across the two systems or easier (but paid) use a Rekordbox plan with Cloud Library Sync
A waiting period is the only way to go when buying new tracks. I always have Traxsource and Hard Wax carts out there waiting for a review before final purchase - a must. Sometimes I can't believe that I added a track to my cart when I listen 3-4 days later. Much better then the vinyl days when you would buy stuff right off (especially when travelling to new shops for gigs) then have buyer's remorse AND be broke once you got home.
You explain about making an intelligent playlist and saving a file then using shortcuts to delete the Tidal tracks. I get that. So the question i have is what happens if you are using BPLink which im using would it be the same? I tried it but i had no success. Also if i deleted BPLink tracks from RB would it leave any digital residue on my hard drive even though they have been deleted from my RB? I also have a problem that my RB keeps slowing or hanging even in Export mode. I use a MacBook Pro 2018 - Processor 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 - Graphics Radeon Pro 555X 4 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB - RAM 16GB Any solution i would appreciate your help ))
The shortcut only deletes physical files (eg mp3s/wavs). If you use a streaming service there are no files on your computer to delete. Just right click in RB and remove the tracks from your collection to get rid of any analysis data :)
I thought I was going crazy that I couldn't separate stems from Tidal anymore, asking myself "Wait, was I ever able to do that at all?" Didn't know they turned that off until now.
As a DJ if you can't do most of these things he is talking about I suggest giving up mixing..Or like most wanabe dj's you can become a SYNC dj... BUY your music spend some money & before anything know what style you wanna mix!
Organize music based off “like” sounds Meaning this sounds like that, so place them in the same folder. Next thing you’ll know you now have a entire set of music that is similar sounding. This way I can pull one random track out of the folder and guarantee it goes with any song in the list
It’s a great track - this is one of the streaming service issues I mentioned- they remove it and add it again meaning there’s ghost tracks RB can’t load any more 🤦🏻♂️
@@ReallyChrisM And that's why I have mp3's of every track, no issues. Granted I have TONS of time to tag and grid everything and such, I'm extremely OCD about my organization haha. But at the same time I understand that not everyone has the time or motivation to do all that work so streaming is a quick option I suppose.
@@ReallyChrisM it's a lot of work but it's worth it for sure imo. Btw don't think I've asked this before but is there anywhere I can listen to some sets you played?
I actually just did my first guestmix in a long time on Data Transmission: soundcloud.com/datatransmission/pachelle-presents-over-the-moon-episode-5?in=pachellemusic/sets/over-the-moon-radio @@HikariSakai
Who has a music library of 9000 tracks in today's world... No piracy, Spotify etc won't let you download mp3s... I want to build my library from scratch... But I have no idea where to look... If you can be so kind to tell me websites with sell mp3s... Please let me know
6th tip, delete all the music, download high quality music from 2023, select it, and you're done. Since in the end, every set (for example 1 hour and a half) is made of around 20-30 songs.
Ah, 7th tip, use your cues! Put it in "H" where you are closer to the end of the song but still sounds the kick and hat or just the kick, and do a loop cue there, and transition to other drums-song… Remember that you only need 20-30 songs, on the same note or be capable to blend into other notes that fit musically.

But at the same time I understand that not everyone has the time or motivation to do all that work so streaming is a quick option I suppose.
@@HikariSakai Yep I'm in the awkward transition phase back to mp3s after some time away
@@ReallyChrisM it's a lot of work but it's worth it for sure imo. Btw don't think I've asked this before but is there anywhere I can listen to some sets you played?
I actually just did my first guestmix in a long time on Data Transmission: soundcloud.com/datatransmission/pachelle-presents-over-the-moon-episode-5?in=pachellemusic/sets/over-the-moon-radio

There is something wrong in your "Where To Get DJ Music PDF". Should be Older Tracks -> Spend Money -> YES=1235 NO=23
4:45 "... and making sure your set sounds like everyone else's."
Isn't this what we exactly want to avoid?
whooosh!
Oh great another 'affiliate dj keeping it real'
11k tracks 200+ playlists and im a dj 2 years ... everythings is organised very nice tho
Who has a music library of 9000 tracks in today's world... No piracy, Spotify etc won't let you download mp3s... I want to build my library from scratch... But I have no idea where to look... If you can be so kind to tell me websites with sell mp3s... Please let me know
9000 tracks in 20 years ? why do I already have 2500 in 1 year xD ?
😂 First step: Delete Everything! -> I can't teach you anything, if you don't forget everything you know ;) :-D
Step one delete record box
My library has 88+k of tracks.
I' m a mobile DJ.
this track always goes down well with capitalists... WTF!!! 🤣🤣
Don’t delete all of your music. Just pull a set and make sure everything is labeled properly.
6th tip, delete all the music, download high quality music from 2023, select it, and you're done. Since in the end, every set (for example 1 hour and a half) is made of around 20-30 songs.
Ah, 7th tip, use your cues! Put it in "H" where you are closer to the end of the song but still sounds the kick and hat or just the kick, and do a loop cue there, and transition to other drums-song… Remember that you only need 20-30 songs, on the same note or be capable to blend into other notes that fit musically.
and how these tips helped you to be a DJ? i never heard about you mate
my tracks are strictly related to one another per each set
Can you stop and breath?
Welcome to TH-cam in 2023. People won't watch "long" videos.
Hey Grinder, Can you please speak a bit faster?
