- Beatsource is a collaboration between Beatport and DJCity, merging the worlds largest record pool with some of the worlds best DJ talent. The result is a store and streaming service that offers DJ's the opportunity to play from a library set up by world class DJ's. Today DJ Holland looks at LINK, a monthly subscription which offers DJ's the ability to search, stream and store Beatsource directly inside DJ software.

Do you think that we will get to the point where other DJ's can create/share playlists internally within rekordbox? I really love the idea that you are supporting and hope that in the future that there will be a collaboration function added, allowing friends to create Spotify type interactive playlists that are shareable but from the DJ's library.
I’m actually just one the website now and I’m loving the music selection. Really good variety of that’s what you need in your sets. I think this might be the move
Looks great, going to join up and have a go with it
Hi great video i noticed when you loaded the track in you got the lighting info on the bottom and not sure how to do this on this version of rekordbox
Thank y'all so much for the tips, I might start buying tracks off on there 🥳🥳🥳
This will be super helpfull 🥳 I'm watching all the Crossfade videos to learn more during lockdown. I'm gonna upload a video mix very soon!
Thats great to hear! Glad you're enjoying the content!
Hey can we view multiple playlist at once(like sidelist in virtual dj) if yes please make a video on that.thank you
Excellent Video, Thank you👍🙌
Thank you!
Thanks for the information 😁😁
Just started testing Beatsource and just noticed to major issue onless I have overlooked this points. First, I did not see many or almost none music with intro and outro. And the most serious issue is that either Rekordbox or Beatsource will the to improve the search function. You need to add a second filter to reduce the amount of songs that pops up. The ideal filter will be the year filter. This way a person use the name of the song they are looking for and a year range from when they believe the song came out. This way the user has lots of less track to search thru.
Me too
Does it work with last version of Rekordbox 5? I don't think is cheap. I pay 8 eur for SoundCloud or 7 for Spotify if someone ask me a track that I don't have. Beatsource should keep the same range of price.
will this work with serato,and virtual dj,please
Informative as always.
2 questions tho.
Do you need to have RB 6? Heard nothing but problems with it. Can you record mixes using the tracks?
It's only available in the public beta V6.0.1 at the moment and no you can't record mixes internally inside Rekordbox whilst streaming
Do you get to keep the music you download?
I was literally in one of your rekordbox dj courses and then got this alert on my phone. I will most definitely check this out. So is it recommended to have both this and beatport link?
It's hard for us to recommend any record pool or streaming service over another as every DJ is different. Only you will know which service is best for you based on the music you play.
Are the tracks pre analysed?
Do you need Internet to use this?
No intro /outdo mixes. No mash ups. No extended versions . Great for anyone who isn’t a DJ 😫
RIGHT!!!!!
Yes there holding back on the Intro's, I'm going to Cancel.
oh nooo. I was curious if they were offering intro's.
Hello 👋, can someone tell me if I can download the tunes from Beatsauce to my laptop? I'm planning on making a mini mix on Ableton Live, I also like to run it through Mixed In Key. Thanks for your help 😁
A pool like bpm supreme is preferred cause the 100 tracks is really less.... But the best streaming service in my opinion for the djs using streaming
I use tidal in all my gigs and so far l have no issues...
Just looking to goto a steaming service, but don't know how much different is Beatsource to Beatport.
My playing style is Chart but Dance Remixes of these.
What would you recommend?
beatport
Is the music primarily main stream house, dance and that sort of thing? That kind of music has been great for learning but I prefer harder crunchy electronic music like NoiseFx or industrial leaning stuff like Rotersand and Funker Vogt and I find all of these DJ libraries sorely lacking for anything "interesting".
How do I find a specific song?
I really wish Denon would soon add Beatport and Beatsource. The Tidal integration is great, but there's no offline capability.
coming soon!
Beatport link added last week with firmware 1.5
Can you apply hot cues to the tracks you are streaming or in the locker?
Yes you can :)
Hey guys, do you guys use any specific usb sticks on your cdjs or all in ones?
Anything with a fast read write speed, Rekordbox is well known for being slow to export tracks and the speed of the drive drastically speeds this up! I'm personally using Sandisk Exrteme Pro 128gb sticks which have served me well - Holland
So why would you choose beatport then?
I want to ask a question.If I buy a beat from there and if I compose a song on that beat,Do I have a permission to use it like Lilxnas?is it possible?I mean do I have a licence to use this beat?or how?I have a great ability to make songs on the beats but making beats are hard for me.what is your suggestion for me?
You need to contact the publisher of the song and the record company who own the recording . It’s complex, but it belongs to someone else. It’s like me borrowing your car !
I am confused ..... Beatport or BeatSource ? I love EDM, House, Trance and Big Room - what should I use ?
Beatport
Does this work for traktor s4 as well? Or only record box?
Currently only Rekordbox with Algoriddim coming soon!
Are you able to record the tracks in your mixes, online or offline?
Sadly not, as soon as a streaming track is placed inside a virtual deck it deactivates the recording
@@Crossfader Thought that maybe the case. Appreciate the response tho guys...
Crossfader what if you recorded the mix via Evermix ?
So it basically makes DJ'ing even less about cratedigging and developing your own style?
No matter how good or bad this is, I will just never use streaming. How can you enjoy your performance when you may experience a lag or drop out at the drop of a hat? Dj Pools & Traxsource for me 👍
When we were testing the tracks cached into the DJ software when loaded very quickly meaning you shouldn't have a drop out or any buffering
Surprised you didn't submit this comment by fax :) In seriousness (and I'm only pulling your leg), while there is still a minor likelihood that these problems could happen I'd bet my bollocks to a barn dance that within 5 years all the big DJs are streaming their sets. How can I be so sure you ask. Well, because at a lot of arena gigs the front of house sound mixers talk to stage lighting by wifi already and I've not heard anyone moan about lighting drop outs. I watched a few videos on this and most FoH engineers set up their own private wifi network at arenas to keep things ticking along.
Im summary, wifi is not the problem itself. The problem is over-capacity of the network making it slow and potentially causing drop outs and the solution for this has existed for years already. Create a private network that has a secondary backup connection routed to it and once big clubs are doing that you are more likely to have a powercut than a wifi dropout.
Probably the song stays cached after loading, until it is unloaded. It's like you can watch an already buffered youtube video after your wifi goes out. Bad internet will only affect the loading into the deck process, which of course could be a problem if you're trying to load the next song in a hurry. But you won't have any unexpected drops on a song already loaded/playing.
You are not actually streaming it. You are downloading it to a deck and then playing it. So no risk of dropouts
@@klausmogensen8691 I think he also means at a more holistic level, what if the wifi goes down in the club half way through a set when you want to get a new song.
Is the pioneer ddj sb2 is best to buy is there any best dj
We'd recommend the newer SB3 unit 🙌🏻
Does it have all tracks beatport has?
No, these are separate libraries, although some tracks may show in both.
Does this also work on Traktor?
Traktor DJ doesn't have any streaming yet unfortunately!
Can you tell me why beatsource advertise $34.99 per month but charge £34.99 per month. No allowance for exchange rate. This means with vat beatsource is £41.99 per month..NOT SO CHEAP HAY !!!
This is great just needs more of a vast collection but will take time, all I want is Another app like Spotify to step up because it was a good mix with a great working app on my iphone and great streaming for practicing in bedroom . All these other streaming services are good but the apps are lacking
It's all still in Beta at the moment so no doubt it will get better. Unfortunately though I doubt we will ever see anything quite like Spotify again.
Crossfader yes it definitely has a great base to build from .
I don't like the quality of the sound , I have never used it live on a gig ,but I tested it at home and had that issue .
How much the monthly fees they are in dollars
Sorry I should not said i live in Northern Ireland.
But mymp3 allows you to down load to USB and you basically own the music you pay for I never RENTED MUSIC BEFORE
Can I pay beatsource each month on my own or do they take the money out each month
cmon now....;)
@@deejaydmx303 what does come on now mean?
My account was compromised a while back so I prefer to control the payment
your better off with bpm they are the best you can download and keep everything and no limits at all
All anyone wants to know is what music is really available.
You can browse the site without a log in
I see the catalogue not being as large as on Beatpork Link a plus, personally. As much as I love beatport (and the bank account dent to prove it) the link search is really bad because everything you search for comes up with hundreds of results. Spotify has way more tracks than Beatport so I don't know how they get their search so right and BPL gets it so wrong.
Actually, I do know. Spotify weights their results based on popularity and other factors and shows most likely results. Beatport knows you need exactly what you want and it might be obscure. Well done answering my own question there. Pat on the back to me :-D
Ralph Hardwick I we used to pay £7.99 for a vinyl back in the day.
Why would you buy the tracks, and then pay to stream them. When you pay for streaming services the tracks should be free to stream.🙄🙄🙄🙄❌
nah, i'd rather stick with dj pools i mean just 50 tracks allotment for offline play is just stingy
Streaming services are a bit more flexible than DJ Pools and as streaming services go it's only Beatsource and Beatport that's allowing offline play at all.
@@Crossfader true, and it is probably the reason why they are not really inclined to give the best possible service and charging a premium for it (due to the lack of competition) it is the future though i will give them that as it secures more revenue for the artists. but that future sure is not near IMO
"Dumped" into the R&B room. Wow.
That's just the way I say things, it's not me disrespecting the RnB room trust me. Up until recently I played the urban room every Saturday for five years!
40 a month to offline crap quality tracks -
You’d be better investing in wav and crate dig what you really want and stand out Dj wise.
Thanks for the Video, but for whom is it useful? There are mass of radio versions and only a bit of extended versions. If we talking about dj software and songs, then the content should be corresponding: DjFriendly. This makes it nearly useless for djing. Spending finally 90 euro for 3 months into DJ City you get at least much more Dj-Versions you need for djing usually, what the sence of a dj Plattform/Songs is. Sorry guys! 👎
Exacccctly ! No remixes ! No extended !
Underwhelming imo. I'll stick with Tidal
Tidal sounds amazing too!
100 Tracks? I can play 400 in a night.
You may be missing the point. Beatsource is not meant to be used solely if you plan to DJ a whole night. You have your own collection of tracks, and Beatsource allows you to add more very quickly if needed. As Holland says, imagine you need to do a R&B set, but you haven't really updated your collection recently. Well, here you go, you can add up to 100 tracks to your existing R&B collection to have the latest & greatest.
Frankly, I highly doubt any DJ would go play a whole night without any existing collection of tracks.
@@MrKuken911 spot on!
Once again you never own your downloads..
...I know I know...but imagine all of the record collections you see in vlog backdrops needed a subscription to play.."sorry but your b side 12inch of dark side of the moon can't be accessed unless you update you subscription and pay"..wtf..
Meanwhile Virtual DJ allows you to create your own stems on the fly....I want serato to catch up to that.
The system software and usability, via playlist management is great. The integration with RB6 is much better than Beatport Link or Soundcloud Go+. The biggest problem and reason why I will not subscribe is purely down to the music. Commercial, corny and not at all intelligent enough. Good enough, if you are a commercial DJ playing wedding parties or into shitty R&B masquerading as so called 'Hip-Hop ', crappy Stadium House from Ikea, Progressive? My arse! Fuck me, I hate that shit. No Drum and Bass, Dubstep even. No IDM, No Breaks, Decent Electro, Proper Techno. No quality in EDM at all, which is pants. The curated playlist headings have been created by shortsighted and unimaginative 'club bangers collectors for the masses. Not music I would ever buy or play. Calvin fucking Harris???
Tidal on RB please, as Spotify ain't gonna happen anymore and Soundcloud and Beatport aren't good enough.
