I love it man. I come up with sets and do prep right in my phone. Sometimes I’ll even practice my set on my phone. And now that they added Apple lol I’m not using anything else lol
Right!? They really integrated themselves into the full environment! I love it!
@@djcarlo Yeah, it’s great!
i concur! switched from rekordbox to vdj to djay hopefully this is it
The fluid Beat Gridding is seriously amazing, literal game changer for all us folks who love to mix none DAW produced Music where the BMP wanders all over the place.
That's the game changer for sure! Of all the features THIS is what DJs need!
Is there a way to turn it off though?
I always press sync twice, just to get the BPM right, but to keep the freedome. Now with the fluid beat gridding it's changing BPM when the track is playing the same tempo. This messes up the ability to simply "double sync". Any idea how to turn this new ( for some people great) function off?
This is the new ableton warping
Just sync toa loop being master, keep that volume down, and re-record the non-beatgrid track
@@tontonie1 you can always use sync in bpm mode
@@tontonie1 you can click/tap on the bpm number and set it to straight instead of dynamic
Thanks for the video - I need to look into the Cloud backup feature 🔥
It's crazy what it can do! I've never had such an all in one environment before!
Great video man! I always enjoy watching your videos, even if its not something that will help me, at least for the moment but..all of your videos anyone can come back to and watch so, another one to the pile haha
Thanks bro! Just trying to help everyone out. Thanks for the support!
Love technology, love your channel. Dope. Thank you!
Thanks Puma! And yeah, the technology here is just insane! Exciting stuff for the future!
@djcarlo Totally. Much respect. 🙌
Thanks for the video! 👍🏻 Awesome!
For sure! Enjoy the benefits and features Djay Pro's got Patrick!
Def a game changer for workflow and prep
Indeed! Plus the fact that you can sync your library from the cloud? Definitely worth it
This is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Diba?! Even the Vision Pro was crazy! Gotta give props to the folks who helped me shoot this in the dead of NYC winter haha
Great content as always! Interested to know how you got the my crates in DJAY. Is this Mac only or can it be setup on the iPAD? Thanks in advance 🙏
It can be set up with your iPad! The beauty of having the sync environment is that you can set up your crates from your laptop, and just have them reflect on your iPad. Otherwise, you can also upload your songs to your iPad, and fix the crated there (though it's a much more taxing method compared to the cloud now)
@@djcarlo many thanks for your reply, really appreciate it! How do I setup the my crates on iPAD? I don’t see it as an option in my list of sources on the left hand side like it shows on your video. Thanks 🙏
Great video! You really deserve so much more recognition for your hard work and time that you put into making the videos 🙌🏻. Quick question. Does it allow to record the songs you play from Apple Music? With SoundCloud it’s all protected and you need to download a song to your device.
Depends! From streaming, it doesn't, but songs you've purchased on Apple Music are free to record 🥳
@@djcarlo so besides the monthly subscription you also need to purchase the songs you want to use for recording.
Thank you for making a DJAY Pro app!! I've had to start with my IPAD!
It's a great piece of software! Highly recommend it, given their latest innovations
Love your videos! You have any thoughts on stems and streaming coming back?
It'll only be a matter of time! I'm sure all these streaming platforms are fighting hard for it :)
Tidal has brought back the stems!
Can you still use your control using DJapp? Like for example could I use my DDJ 400? on my macbook?
Yes you can! You can use that unit with any smart device that has Djay! And that's everything!
Thanks Carlos! The reality is that with all your knowledge of DJ techniques and software and your incredible teaching style, Algoriddim DJ should have hired YOU as their representative. Thanks again for all the that you do for the DJ community.
Hahahahaha, maybe that's in the works for the future! Who knows! 😆
Great!!! Quick question my Apple Music library works on djay 3 but not on djay pro… any idea why? I bought the djay pro subscription so not sure why it is not working properly
That's really odd! What happens when you use it with Djay Pro?
0:06 the police station and shady alleyway 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glad you caught that ;)
@@djcarlo i would totally DJ down a shady alleyway 😉😉🤣🤣
Thanks DJ Carlo, I’m testing apple music and so far I really like being able to build playlists on any of my devices I only wish that you could build/edit an Apple Music playlist in the DJ Pro app like you can with Tidal. It would be more convenient to not switch to apple music to edit a playlist and then go back to DJ and then refresh.
Any idea if this feature is coming?
Love your content BTW!
No clue on that one buddy! That's why I'd recommend giving Apple Music a shot in this case
Thanks @djcarlo !
I’m doing the 30 day trial of Apple Music now and so far I’m pleased.
Another quick question: if I am analyzing a streaming track in apple music (especially on iPad/iphone) I would still have to download it I wanted it to live on my device correct?
Thanks again! I love your channel.!.!
..why video quality on output is reduced in djay pro? is there a way to adjust that? regards
Ooof, I havent really looked into that. Have you played around with the settings?
Got a question for ya!! How do you put que points wherever you want? They always go to the nearest grid line for me. What setting am I missing?
That's the Current Setting for most software. First disable quantize, then go to settings!
@@djcarlo 🙏❤️❤️ thanks bro
I see that you’re using Apple Music with an iPhone and MacBook, I have an iPhone but can I use it the same as you have without a MacBook? I had a windows laptop. Thanks
I believe it should work, as long as you have Apple Music
So now I have to switch from serato ? Is it worth it ?
If it fits your needs better, with the Apple Music Integration and all, I'd say why not?
Hi, thank you for your superb video 👍👌 I am having a problem with Djay pro, the fusion crossfader does not work on my Pioneer FLX4. I'm on a macbook air m1. Any ideas, any adjustments to make? thank you for your help
Oh sorry to hear that. Perhaps try updating everything first. If not, try mapping. Make sure though Crossfader Fusion is activated on Djay!
Yes Djay pro is up to date, the FLX4 too, I activate the Crossfader Fusion, but when my controller is connected to my Mac, the Crossfader Fusion option disappears.
So it is impossible to use this option with the FLX4 crossfader.@@djcarlo
Here I found it, it works flawlessly on the FLX4, on the other hand it doesn't work on my REV7, too bad...@@djcarlo
Voila I succeeded, it works well on my FLX4. On the other hand, impossible to activate the fusion crossfader on my Pioneer Rev7!
I'm having the same problems, many buttons and functions don't work, I think it requires good mapping skills
Can you record sets you create using the songs you have saved/streamed from Apple Music?
Not for streamed files! Specifically mentioned that while talking about Apple Music actually. You can record using local (i.e. purchased and downloaded) files
@@djcarlo thanks for the response despite the fact that I didn’t hear it in the video!
Can you use two of those small hercules controller at the same time?
I dont think so. It wasn't designed for that 😅
Carlo please , which MacBook uses a pro or an air and how much RAM does it have?
Mine is an M1 Pro, maxed out all the specs. I use it for video editing as well
@@djcarlo thanks !!
I got problems connecting my DDJ FLX4 to the Mac using djay pro, can you make a tutorial for the correct mapping ?
Oh! What happens when you try to connect it?
@@djcarlo Some features don't work, like smart fader and cfx, I've made the updates to both program and controller and it seems to work way better than before (a couple weeks ago) but they still don't work like on rekordbox.
Hi there, im trying to pick between the prime 4 plus and the xdj xz. I can't decide because my goal for a long time was the xz but i cant help but feel the prime 4 plus is just better suited to me. I stream a lot of my music but also use usb. I play on cdjs every week but am already comfortable on them. Any pointers?
If you're comfortable using both platforms, it really depends. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Just choose the one you'll use the most in your free time!
@@djcarlo how does the streaming work for the prime plus?
Hey dj Carlo, ik this is off topic but can you tell me, does the ddj sp1 work with the xdj-xz?
Yes it does!
thank you so much!
Wow this looks super convenient for the lazy DJ in me!
PS. Where can I find the songs you mix with in this video?
Which songs?
@@djcarlo the two songs at 5:31
@@djcarlo any luck on those tunes?
pity NeuroMIx and Fluid Beatgridding arent available on Windows/Android. also a pity you didnt mention the differences of the IOS & Windows/Android versions. DJ Pro looks awesome but as a non-Apple user I cant recommend it.
Fair enough! But those updates are being worked on as we speak! Don't fret yet!
100% agree!!!
I hope they add gain volume to the sample section!!
Ohhhh, maybe that's the next step!
@@djcarlo has to be! Tired of adjusting the volume each time I hit a sample. 😤😤🤦🏾♂️

Hehe nice eye!
Is it just me or not but whenever I go to my crates I made in serato
When I go to Dj pro it keep asking me to allow access to a file that I don’t have.
That's really odd! What do you mean files that aren't there? 😮
Does the app allow you to record your own personal mixes?
Yes DJay can record your own mixes!
can we record the songs we purchased on iTunes..?
Yes you can!
I have queue points on the desktop version but they’re not showing in iOS version. Any idea why? I have paid version and am logged on to my account on both. Can’t figure it out! Help!!!
That's so odd! Is your Desktop a Mac as well?
Yes. I’m using both a MBP M1 and an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Both are logged in to my account and have iCloud active. Nothing ports from Mac to IPhone. And their customer service is non existent. It’s much easier to do in and out points on desktop and just want those to also appear on mobile. Ugh. 😢
So the Apple vision has a virtual dj set up?
Unfortunately, I'm not sure. I haven't checked for Virtual DJ yet
bonus points for Around the World! respect
Loooove that song!
Hey, is it legal to play a commercial set with music from Apple Music via Djay?
I would say so! If your venue has a license, it's legal
@@djcarloisn't Apple Music considered a personal use product? Could you elaborate on that? I wouldn't want to get fined, you know haha
I'm not as familiar with the nuances of the laws pertaining to public playing of music in different countries, but I think using Apple Music as a source falls under the same licensing rules that most venues adhere to. The source doesn't matter, as long as you're playing the music in public, you'll need a license. It's not something I'm very well versed on, so best to really check with your local venues haha
I need the confidence to know my my local files are safe. Can we rewind and spend some more time on that part? ... So essentially we have 100,000 slots to backup and sync local files? Am I right? ... How can we test this without losing our minds?
How do you manage or ensure that your smaller devices are not overwhelmed by the files being synced to the mobile device for example? My MacBook and iPad are 2TB but what about my 256GB iPhone? ... I'm still used to syncing over the wire. ... I'm excited but afraid at the same damn time.
Follow exactly what I did in this video. Basically drag and drop your files to Apple Music’s library, and things should back up! Try a few files first then come back to it :)
I would recommend trying a few important playlists and songs first, then gradually move up in accordance to the space available on all your devices!
@@djcarlo interestingly enough, like a number of DJ, I managed my music in iTunes/Music already. I am wondering if the cloud sync somehow put my tracks at risk of getting replace by tripping the DJgod-forbidden Music Match Monster? ... I signed into my DJay accout and the app tells me its i already syncing to iCloud, I didn't even confirm or configure that I wanted to use the iCloud Sync feature. I have 75k tracks and I am afraid to interrupt whatever sync is taking place. Fans are blazing right now (2015 MBP) lol. Not sure if there is a system requirement for these new features. Just some feedback. Not asking for tech support.
Good video DJ Carlo I've been using DJAY PRO AI since March I just signed up Apple music and download the songs😊
That's awesome dude! Thanks for using Djay! They truly are in the cutting edge!
@@djcarloI’m not a dude the only downside I have with Apple Music streaming is I can’t use a cappella or the instrumental
Once downloaded . had to give some time for DJAY to able to sync files? thanks
I'd say it really depends how fast your internet is, with the cloud storage and everything :)
@@djcarlo it downloads fast but unable to see them on DJAY Source > Local Music. 5.1.2 was just announced let me update to see if it works.
@@bailador64 only Purchased Music will be on your local music
@@bailador64 and remember, only Purchased Music Can be used with Neural Mix™, not streaming.
Me literally saw that you can DJ in 'Police Station' 🤣
Wouldn't be my first time!
I’m thinking about a mixon controller just because of djay and Apple Music.
Yeah it's THE BEST controller for DJay for sure!
I went with the Rane One so I could go back and fourth between DJ Pro and VDJ. I still need to use VDJ when I use Soundswitch so needed something I could use flawlessly with both.
I have 100 Mp3 Songs.. on my Tablet djay, if i Change device its Game Over then.. its not Apple music its file MP3 im gonna lose my cue point, so i have to protect my current device at all cost
Okay, that's fair! Make sure to protect your tracks! However, if you upload those files to your Apple Music account, the files should retain their cue points on other devices
I am so mixed about all of the technology, being that I learned to mix on vinyl back in the 80s, 90s.
The fluid beatgrid is amazing and I get why it's needed. Stems are also amazing.
But the skillset to provide a good mix is disappearing. The technology is almost at the point where it can mix itself, and we just choose the music and activate a few settings.
I'm not trying to be an old head glorifying the old days - but where is this all going in the future? The DJ market is already oversaturated.
I enjoy what you do, and you are the best at making these videos.
Thank you for your honesty! These advancements are all tools one can use. Everyone is free to choose or not to choose. And though old skills are no longer as appreciated as before, there now more ways than ever to express your DJ creativity more freely without feeling the constraints. After all, isn’t musical expression is the goal for any DJ?
@@djcarlo I have a mental conflict between musical expression and DJ skills. In the past, it was more about skills. Today, it's expression. You have adapted to the changing times very well. 👍
I try too! Thanks for the support man! It's really hard, but I believe things can happen if you try@@djbigsmooth470
This is the sync debate all over again
We all know of it ends.
I will say the one thing that sucks is you can't use the stem feature when using apple music tracks do to the licensing with apple music
Yup! I actually mentioned that somewhere here if i recall. Makes sense as that means you'll need to download the track to process it 😅
Is this app compatible with the ddj flx4 on an iPad
Yes! Djay Pro works with the FLX4. It should work with the iPad too, but I've yet to try that. Check out the Algoriddim forums for a few more details! It's been discussed there a lot
Thanks
Ca I use my ddj200 with this app???
Yes you can! Try it out!
how much does it all cost
I believe it's $7/month or $50/year for all the features :)
Neural Mix not available with Apple Music
Yup! It's been covered before I believe, forgot if i mentioned it here. I mentioned that you can't record as well with streamed files, but you can do so with local files, even the ones purchased through Apple Music
@@djcarloYes Sir
btw, got a Hercules Controller, love it!
Is there a Rekordbox equivalent of this?
Apple Music isn't available for Rekordbox DJ as of the moment, but you can still utilize the Cloud Backup Feature and save your music!
Does that mean you have to pay Apple Music forever?
Not necessarily! All the music will just be stored in your Apple Music Cloud.
What about recording your set?)
There are ways to do that too!
this wil be the future... some people wont accept
As always! There's always misgivings about things that shock the status quo, but the silent majority always pick up on 'em!
did the djay with ddj 400 last night was flawless all u need is to prepare your tracks on your phone offline songs will do naman@@djcarlo
❤❤
Gotta show a lot of love for this software!
❤️
Woohoo! You excited to try out Djay?
Is Apple Music free? Am good dj know becouse of my guru and your instructions which make me best 😇
Had a stroke reading this
It's not free, but similar to other streaming services, it's a very small monthly fee for a LOT of music!
@@noweebatall5520 sheees why🥱
@@djcarlo okay thank you soo much i wana do more better ❤️🤗
So DJPro is basically like a Serato or Rekordbox?
Most DJs use those software, especially Rekordbox DJ users who utilize USBs!
Apple music online is working on Djay Pro
Yes it does! You can stream from Apple Music. I think I mentioned that here in the video 🥳
There is no problem 😌
You've never had your music lost or been unable to access your DJ tracks in an emergency?
@@user-yq8qw9yg6e and if you accidentally deleted or you delete it, you can always go back into hidden purchases, and find your music there.
Very nice! We'd like to feature your music on our music blog!
That's awesome! Send me an email about it djcarloatendido@gmail.com
Its not a game changer it’s a money maker
It can earn you money if you make use of all its features to elevate your sets and get more clients! Hahaha
You lost me at Apple 😬
Still a great feature that's accessible to so many DJs!
You’d be surprised how much Apple has. I just wish they would get their genres right. When I search on Beatport, or other DJ music poles, I find a lot of music It’s on their sites, is on Apple as well.
That's what beatport and DJ studio does.
Apple just does it so much better and faster from my experience. The ability to download your OWN DJ library and even stream it changed how I approachec backing up!
@@djcarlo out of the topic, does crateconnect and dj city allow you to download wav file?
@@djcarlohave you seen the new update from DJ studio? All music you bought from beatport you can see it on DJ studio and mix it. They have Spotify and apple too but my account is not linked to DJ studio because I don't use them to buy music but I believe all tracks from apple is there ready for you to mix. I actually prefer beatport for my music. I don't like apple because they are greedy all their products are way over priced
no way bro no way bro not Apple Music i this i that 😂😂i heat apple more a sony guy myself and windows so no mate
Lols, no worries! Go for the systems and environments that work best for you. I'm an Apple fan, so this works out well for me😆
@@djcarlo 🍎🍎🍎🍎don't get to fat mate🤣🤣😊😊
Man why can’t it just be YT music 😔
Who knows? I'm just glad we got a pretty solid one in Apple Music. The full integration is amazing
Cant use neural mix so whats the fucking point im trying to evolve as a DJ not be stagnant and use the same shit as the past 40 years
You can use Neural Mix with your tracks download to the local source! Currently no streaming platform offers stem mixing due to copy right :(
I stoped using Apple Music. They are too intrusive with your music. I have many CD’s that I uploaded into iTunes and now have become DRM protected and cannot play on third party audio apps including DJ pro.
Awww man. Had no idea! Thanks for sharing!
