Need help, first time playing on cdjs & serato tomorrow Posted on: 11.07.2012 by Cherryl Aghazarian My buddy said I could dj for a little while on his setup at this local bar. not wanting to turn down any chance to gain experience to play in front of people I took the offer. only problem is I've never actually played using either devices. I dont even know what kind of mixer he's using lol. Also ill be using an external hd to play my music.But I just want to get the basics down, enough so I can do your basic mixing and not crash anything. Not that it really matters but I dj using an s4 and Traktor 2.0, but beat match by ear. | |

| Cherryl Aghazarian 12.07.2012 | lol just my luck, finished work with 30 minutes before i go to the bar, i try to register to download SSL and I'm not getting the automatic reply email confirmation. lol. Oh well, cheers! |
| Julissa Serrone 12.07.2012 | 30-40 songs will take 2 minutes if you do it while NOT playing. Download SSL Its FREE, and analyze your tracks on your computer. The info is stored on the mp3 itself not your computer. So when you plug in your drive all your songs are good to go. |
| Cherryl Aghazarian 11.07.2012 | Damn wish I saw this earlier, howw long would it take to analyze 30-40 songs when I get there. also Theres a chance ill get there while he's mid set. Thanks! |
| Cristian Carmona 11.07.2012 | you'll be fine, as mentioned before, DL serato, build crate or playlist, ananlyse tracks, drop cue point and mix by ear and use the side by side wave forms as a Visual Sync aid. |
| Audrey Pinda 11.07.2012 | You can download Serato to analyze your files as well. There's a way of doing it so that you're stuff will be 100% ready to go, even if you haven't used it before. (If you get SSL without the hardware attached, you can still mess about with it but only one deck is effective). Worth checking out and messing with if nothing else, and I highly suggest analyzing the files ahead of time if at all possible. |
