2 years later and your Video is still giving good info. The ctrl-alt-delete hint save me a lot of time thank you
I just entered the digital DJing world in addition to the vinyl realm just a few days ago, and I was just getting into the crate organization thing. This vid hit it right on point step by step precise breakdown, and it's very helpful, that's what's up. I'm now a subber of the channel to guide me through this digital DJing realm.
I upgraded from a Windows to a Macbook Pro last week. I'm beginning my transition from Virtual DJ 8 to Serato. This video will definitely make my job a lot easier! Thanks for the information.
It's good to see ah trini taking about serato keep it up bro first time I see ah DJ talk about soca that made my day
Thank you so much!!! I just watched this video. Always showing love to dj's
matching my crates up the exact way as my HD was the biggest thing that helped. Appreciate you brother! i got madd music BUT wasnt ever really organized
Omg where were you years ago. I ask on a forum how to organize their music. Reply was "that's the stupid question" You was a BIG help on this. Thanks for the video
Great Content Learned a few tricks from you this evening. Thank You Thank You so much my friend.
Great Video 📹. Awesome suggestion about using the "Comment" section in Serato DJ for brief descriptions of how to transition to other music/genres. Learned a quick trick from Digital DJ Tips. (For example: Use letter "MWW"-Mixes Well With...) i e: [Energy @ 7 MWW (Song A) Top 40 -or- (Song B) Rap]
Great tips I just ran into this missing file issue in Serato DJ on my PC Still working on fixing some crates.
Good vid. I’ve setting my crates up in a similar fashion for a while. Alot of DJ used to let iTunes do it and it caused them a headache when iTunes when updates went sour. Another thing I’ll add is for DJs that wanna switch from Serato to Rekordbox or maintain duplicate libraries with both this method makes it a piece of cake outside of setting cue points the majority of the work is done. Plus for if you need to do a set off someone else’s laptop just copy what crates and folders you need for that onto a usb stick and you’re good.
Thank You for this video. It was really very helpful to me.
hey my man thanks I actually learned something here off your video.My crates are a hot looking mess I'm a newer dj so I been putting my crates off to the last thing I do
Thanks man, this really helped me a lot appreciate that❤️❤️❤️
These were great tips! Thank you
Yo Good Video... I figured that one out on my own..lol wished I saw this prior.. Keep up the good work.
Thank you i love your channel and videos.
Great tips...and really funny! Mucho gracias!
as far as for trying to track it by year i just make a smart crate for each current year. and i got the 80's, 90's, 70's, in their own respective smart crates.
This was so helpful!! Thank you
Very helpful Buzz B. Thank you!
First off....quite possibly the most helpful "DJ" video I have seen to date (as far as serato etc.). Thank you so much for the info! One question...
- What is the main function of, or when would one use, the custom crates?
Thanks again for all the info...big, big help!
Uncle P
love this bro keep up the good work
Great post. Thanks for the tutorial. Now I'm going to delete all of "orange" from my crates. lol
thanks, it actually let me through so i could download it.
Delete orange Tracks (hold Ctrl an press Delete) also works for PC... I just tried it, I was trying to Delete all of orange tracks for a long time .Thanks man an Bless up from Trinidad...
Appreciate it boss! I may be coming up for Carnival 2018
Wooow this is great information learnt ALOT 👍🏽 AND the jokes was hilarious at the top 🤣
new to Serato thanks for the tips blessing
Good video and tips bro! Thank You!!
Hey, I'm just starting out on Serato (from Traktor) and thanks for this video, it was helpful. I'd like it if you could do a demo of the transitions from the soca to the other genres. Also, what's "groovy" and what's "pace"? Could you talk a bit about how you organize your chutney crate and what's a good source high-quality chutney tunes? Thanks!
So informative, thanks a lot!
MAD TIPS, BLESS UP KING.
Good tips this info has helped me a lot, just one question which pool do you get your classic soca classic songs from
Man great info. Yooo I'm on it. Thanks Bro.
Good Video for the New guys to learn... 1 thing i noticed tho you Got a Lot of corrupt files (Lightning bolt) that will cause serato to crash or those files to glitch .. get a program for mac called "MP3 scan + repair" and drag em straight from serato into the program and fix them then re analyze in serato... should fix them... some can't be tho, you'll have to replace those files
Also found running the bolt mp3s thru audacity & importing / renaming it as new mp3 helps too, just remember to delete original from serato library & scan in New version
thank you so much it works
Hey .. nice video. Can you recommend music sources and/or Dj Pools? Especially for Soca, Reggae (others as well but these are my main genres) ... Thanks!
hey bro really good video, will you mind telling me what dj pool you use/ source music? some really nice remixes you got there
This was helpful. Thank you! What if I wanna reorder a song within my crate (sorted by BPM)? Also, on a mac. Which option permanently deletes a song from your overall library vs crate? Is that the distinction between Cmd-del and opt-del?
first time on here, liked will be back, enjoyed the vid.
Also can you PLEASE send some Soca and, any other mp3 pool links that you would recommend? That would be greatly appreciated. Also this vid was MAD funny and entertaining, keep up the good work, you have a new follower.
Your info was great..I subscribed..want to know all about Serato program..thanks again
Good video.
My method. All music in 1 folder. Every song. As long as everything is tagged perfectly smart playlists is all you need.
Awesome stuff. Thanks
No problem! Thank you for watching
Great Info, Thanks
thanks for the video it helped alot
Good evening mr dj thanks for your interest
I'm primarily am into hip hop, rap, reggae, funk, beat breaks, disco, ol skool, blues and rnb and I've been looking for a video on how to craft a set, what to play and how to play it (don't switch genres to often, don't jump in bpms and building Entergy these types of things.) please consider creating a video like this. Or if you have or know of any please point me in the right direction.
Thanks Bro keep the videos coming.
For sure! What videos would you care to see next?
ITS REALLY WORKED LOL THANK YOU DUDE
Thanks for the knowledge mi Bredah bless up
A few pointes as we go along, and these are universal to crates and management, not just Serato:
The power of crates are lost if you're just replicating the folder structure you already have on the disk anyway. If you already have that structure, there's no point in going through the hassle of creating crates. Just use the browser and it's already in that exact structure.
The real power of Crates is that you can collect your music separately in one central place, or several places. Like if you have several sources of music, you can have different folders for different sources and drop them in the appropriate crates, so you still have a central place to pick your music from when you're DJ-ing.
Right after you mentioned the hassle of disappearing crates you mentioned the backup feature. This is exactly what that backup feature is for. When you got a crate setup you like, save the backup for it somewhere safe and if anything happens, you just need to copy that backup file to the backup folder and it will all be back. Copy that backup every time you make a major change. If you get new music often, make a weekly backup, otherwise make a monthly backup and you're always safe.
Another strength of crates is that you may want one song in more than one crate. A SOCA song may fit both in SOCA and in Party. But if you're restricted by having a physical folder on your computer for each crate, you need to create a copy of the song every time, and that means double the space for each song you want in two crates. This can quickly eat up hard drive space and will mess you up when you're DJ-ing and think you've pulled in a song you've previously set up cue points for, when it's a copy of that song that has no cue points.
Real kudos for using the Comment field of the META tags. Not enough people utilize this feature. There's a reason why most DJ software has that tab up by default, and you displayed the utility of it very well here. Quick and easy overview of things like which songs you know works for your DJ style as transitions between genres is an excellent use of that comment field.
A tip for the renaming of files: When you get to a few dozen songs or more and you realize stuff like "Oh, it's easier for me to see song titles in capitals", there's utilities you can download for free called "Bulk Renaming Tool" or a variation of that name. Many of them are quite advanced and let you search and replace strings or even capitalize every letter in the file names and let you do it for every sub folder of the folder you're currently in. Set it to the main music folder, set it to capitalize names, set it to subfolders and let it run. A lot easier than going through tons of folders and manually renaming a bunch of songs. Also useful if you've used one of those cheaper bulk download services that like to append their own tag to the file name. Just set it to search-replace the tag name for the site with an empty space, and the annoying tag will magically disappear.
And to cap it off: Kudos for being a neat freak. I think all DJ's could benefit from being neat freaks when it comes to their crates. You never wanna accidentally drop that empty file reference onto the deck during a live session. ALWAYS keep your crates clean!
Like the intro, How is things going with relationship? anyway giving good vibes and info.
I have a lot of work to do after seeing your crates. lol
Very Good Info. Can you move a crate from below one to above eg. let's say Soca is above Dancehall, can you move the Dancehall crate so that it is above the Soca crate?
great job on the channel
I'm an old school DJ, and music is my passion. I have been watching a lot of the new and old school Video's trying to learn and get back out here. I purchased VirtualDJ Pro and practice, now I'm starting to move toward Serato a little slow because it appears to be so advanced. Looking at your Video made me feel very confident. Of course you are well advanced, but as a training for someone in thiscase very new how would you direct me? looking for your support. greatly appreciated.
greatly appreciated.
Good job!!!! Can you do a video on how to mix dubplate? How to tie split songs
Thanks for vid really helpful :)
Great video. Can you create crates with tidal and hard drive?
just switched to gelato pro and this helped.
Hey thanks a lot by the way where do you get your lates soca or dancehall from all info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your help
I have sub'd and liked this video.. I have similar crates also someone has told me sub genre is helpful too but im unsure of how i should do this. I mostly DJ trap rap
Heyyy, this is a great tips!
Some questions:
1. How much would it affect to the cue points if I relocate the music folders or copy the folders to other storage?
2. Why would some BPMs showed in the column are different from the top panel when we play particular songs?
Lol at the beginning is soooo funny xD!!
thanks for your help
use itch sync works great and updates folders when u add music with a click of a button
merci beaucoup a toi :))
Trying to get more info about Serato...need info about the"Key", do you use it and should I use iTunes..I have Dropbox..and I use Windows (Dell PC) works really good for me...
thats one serious intro...big ups
Thanks so much: I`m working with PC not a Mac: I`m afraid to attempt the deleting process .
Cool video brother... Greetings from Trinidad!
Sweet Sweet T&T! Thanks for watching! I should be up there for Carnival 2018 so hopefully we can link.
great video!
Very useful information on file and creats 👍
Hi, thanks 4 ur vid. Ive gotta question : if u download music in to the folders on the harddrive, how can i setup serato to sync with those directories? example..In folder A i have now 125 songs. But in the A directory on my HD i have downloaded 60 new ones...can serato automaticly sync the folders?
Works well!! DANKEEE
Thanks for the tips mi G
lol dude your to funny. keep up the great work
man great vid
now i am in a good mood
Bro beautiful video but very important question.. let’s say I’m searching for the grippa riddim, its not coming up. Only way is if i search by the song.. that’s really annoying especially when i really need to find the riddim but don’t know the song in it. I really need your help on this one
Cool video. Just now getting back in the game after 17 years.. Got a hard drive copy from a friend and it's kind off a mess.
I like your method of having Folders match your Serato Crates for the exact reasons you mentioned. But how do you deal with songs that belong in multiple crates? Do you keep multiple copies of the mp3 in each Finder Folder? Because otherwise when importing a folder into Serato, it would only end up in the new crate your creating in Serato as opposed to each crate that the song belongs in.
Great vid
I feel you bro... you want to have the most efficient direct access to those songs. but serato keeps upgrating its search box and at this point its crazy wish I could go back 3 or 4 updates back. sometimes cant find tracks thats I know i have.
I usually add new track into my folder in the music folder but when I open serato it won find them. i do unplug the controller and do a rescand but no luck. what I do is delete the whole crate and re import it but then my creates are out of alphabet order....
It looks like fun.😊😊😊
I have so much ive been trying to organize for years cant seem to get a handle on it
Hey.. where do you download your music where is the best place for music like none stop pternsky.. acapella. . Ect rnb hip hop remixes ext. Where do you download from
How do you analyze your crates seeing that you have groovy and pace ...Also I see that you have different years for Soca what I want to know is do you mix up your islands from trini to bajan to grenada to dominica..
*Great Video*
that for that info... bless
Thank you!
Thank you, nut my problem is I dont want to use itune...
Have a question! A week I notice when I search for a song! And I can see the song but I type it anyways cause I notice something is fishy!! The song won’t be found! Would you know why it does that
Great vid but instead of organizing your music files into folders that reflect your Serato crate it is easier to save the crates themselves. That way you can load the crates into Serato and just direct where on your hard drive the music files are. Serato itself says putting your files into too many folders can slow track load times.
THIS IS GREAT! THANK YOU...IMMA KEEP MY CAPS LOCK ON FOREVER BECAUSE OF YOU. LMAO
Fire intro
Hi how are you doing today
Have a quick question
Every time I plug in my hard drive to my Serato
It goes through the whole entire process of Tagging every song in my hard drive
How do you organize your music files as you keep downloading new music? Do you create new folders and not add them into the existing folders? Because it might be hassle to find out which have not being imported into DJ software.
