It's really sad when I read responses from people who clearly haven't watched the video, like at all. Do you know how frustrating that is as a content creator that spent time creating? SMH.
Some people believe they know everything, don't feel discouraged those of us who are always open to learning and listening to new things we are loving these videos. Keep up the good work!
You made some valid points, I don't use streaming, I'm old school so I still dig in those crates fortunately those crates are my own. I'll pullout a old school joint that hit hard 20 or 30 years ago beef up the beat and slap it back into action and the reaction is always positive with people thinking it's a new song.
This is so insightful. I'm 23 and already can take some of your advice. I think bedroom DJ's are often music nerds who get consumed in their own corner of expression. As soon as they hit the dancefloor they are unable to read and respond to what the crowd wants, especially if you havent ever heard the music they want to hear. Mr. Cleavland Terry, you sir, are BASED.
Absolutely right... As a reggae promoter and mc I've said the consumer has caught up with the selectors. Back in the day the consumer didn't have the same access to 45s and double albums of underground reggae
I've been a Spotify user for the last 8 years, it opened me up to so much good music that I never would've found on the radio or from other sources. It became an even more valuable resource for me when I started using it to curate playlists for a show I started doing at a community radio station in NYC. So I definitely agree with your sentiment here.
Spotify is my go to music service for finding content on the fly especially for music that People request for that don’t have. Spotify helps me facilitate it. Great video for today’s djs to know about.
Forall2hear TV - So you stream on the fly? Plug your device into your system and play? I tried it once with my phone using BPM supreme but the quality was garbage so I quickly mixed it out.
Thank you for the tip. I’m a bedroom DJ and although I use Tidal as my go to streaming service (Spotify is no longer available for any DJ apps), and I constantly find myself ALWAYS going to the older songs that I like, and there are times I want actual news music. This way, it helps me not only to keep track of what’s hot out there, but also, it helps me expand my own playlist that I play for myself while keeping me motivated to practice, it will help my skills by incorporating new music that my challenge me to mix, and when the day comes that I want to do parties, I know what new songs to go to or dropped that the crowd might like and caught them off guard to new music. Thanks for the awesome tip. 😊
I couldn't agree more!! And I'm speaking from experience here. I was one of those stuck in the 90s and only played Old Skool and a few new tracks until I did a set where I just couldn't keep the crowd entertained. Till I realized I need to embrace and expose myself to new music. Enter Spotify and this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Not only am I able to find out what's trending and listen to, but it's given me an appreciation for other genres, styles etc. There's a reason why between Apple and Spotify, they have literally the bulk of the industry in terms of subscribers, and having that subscription(s) helps you know what's new and trending. Dope topic Terry!
Man, you couldn’t have say it more clear than this. I do exactly that since people like to hear 👂 and enjoy old and new music. Who doesn’t like “I will survive by Gloria Gaynor?” A true classic, advantage is that streaming media’s have many versions to accommodate more audiences who like different genres and will be playing the same song with the beat they like as well besides the original. It help us to have more options and ideas as a DJ as well to recreate more music and entertain much better.
I totally agree I've been using spotify when I DJ for years and it always comes in handy if someone requests something that I don't have in my playlist especially country music the last wedding I did was 90% country and although they did give me a playlist of stuff they wanted to hear I was getting request all night long for a lot of old school stuff that I never would have listened to on my own. Great channel, keep up the videos.Tangent approved!!
Absolutely spot on Terry you need to have as much variety of music new and existing from all around the globe keeping your streaming services and your subscriptions up-to-date so you have access to what is huge and all around the world compilations to come out with old and hard to get songs come out all the time I just found a few ones just recently
Great V Log Man I use Tidal for all the reasons you gave and more. My first is doing a Gig and you get that request that you dont have and Tidal usually saves the night. From their I studied the future of Streaming services and created playlist that are continuously live and updating when adding songs to the original playlist by the suggestions given at the end of each playlist created. Great share hope a lot more DJ's take hold and move forward with technology that makes our business alittle easier and stronger.
Thank you for another great video absolutely true the music on the radio stations is boring as batch shit there is so much music out there on the streaming services even songs I’ve been looking for that you currently cannot get from your record store and it’s easy to be able to download it will pay for it and keep it as a permanent download to your computer depends on what it is it’s fantastic I’m glad I was able to watch the show As a longtime DJ here in Australia as a longtime DJ here in Australia
I use Deezer as my streaming service because it has the largest library of music. I use it everyday and I agree... its extremely helpful with knowing whats hot and whats not. Also, it allows you to explore and discover new genres and artists. I like to listen to one type of genre a week, and at the end of the week download the top 10 I like, or that stood out.
Great video my brother, I feel you man you have to stay current. By listen to streaming services you definitely hear new stuff that you may not have know about.
Yes! This is exactly why I stream using Google Music! On top of discovering good music in other genres I generally don't listen to, I'm stumbling onto older Hip Hop albums that I've never heard before because a lot of them got overlooked in the overabundance of great music in the golden era...
Great content on finding great unheard music being played in the radio. The only downfall ive had on finding indie artists is that they aren't in the record pools. One would have to purchase the tracks, play of the service via phone or rip it from online....
Great information and you are dead on, the radio stations are basically promoters for whomever is paying the big bucks and its unfortunate because there are tons of great artists out there not getting the air time but have a true fan base. You're also correct on the old stuff being heard by the younger generation and trending. I will definitely be hitting up a streaming service to keep current of what's trending. Another great video.
happened to me, got a request of a song i didn't know about and good thing we had another laptop running spotify and hooked onto our main mixer. after that i saw to it to check the local and international charts on spotify every week to see what's new and compare to what i have and what i don't that is a potential dancefloor hit. cheers terry!
This is a great tip to new Dj's and since I DJ for small parties, and im Hispanic, so most of the songs i play are a mix of Spanish music and English music, if that make sense, so i try to keep my music collection large, and have some old music form the 70's, 80's, 90's and early 2000's as well as tying to keep up with the new stuff, and it can be difficult if you don't listen to that genre or specific song(s) and you don't know if people will dance.
I agree that the streaming services adds a balance to the music lover. I use spotify and google play. I like how spotify displays not only what's popular today, but it also showcases hits from the past decades and new music that may not hit the radio stations yet. I just wish I could get access to the playlist that I spent the past 7 yrs creating. When I try to find certain songs in dj pools sometimes, they're not available. I'm new to the dj'ing and have been using serato dj pro for the past few months. I really don't want to subscribe to tidal or soundcloud and rebuild the playlists.
I really like title and iTunes. And sometimes go through SoundCloud . And you had a good point on this video DJ's better wake up and get with the plan because things are really changing and things are really going ahead. It's better than carrying crates of records with you at the way have technology has giving us DJs to choose music for the clients specially with these playlists.
After watching this, I might have to listen to streaming radio. I don't listen to regular radio anymore. When I do listen to music, I listen to mixcloud and soundcloud, I have a few different djs' I listen to that play a certain genre that I like and see what is new
Hey Terry I bought the new DJ 7:07M controller the platters are really sensitive and I haven’t figured out the Feedback yet this is the reason I bought the controller because of the feedback feature.
also look and see who your favorite artist listen to. maybe they have playlist with a lot of good tracks, and spotify and other streaming apps find songs you may like that you didn't know where out there. Also top charts for each year such as, you could lookup and see some of the best 100 tracks from 1999 or any year and genre. Dig dig dig. the best djs love to dig for music.
Cleveland, bro this was really DOPE 👌 information. I definitely tend to go through my DJ music pool looking for top 40 etc... I actually do stream through Google play and listen to a lot of different artists and discover some really dope music. I do this for my own personal pleasure.... But I never thought about looking at what's trending on the streaming service. This is definitely how kids today are discovering their favorite artist. They don't listen to the radio. Honestly by the time the radio gets it, they're late. This will really help me prepare in the future especially for the younger crowd 😉 great content bro 💯 Ps... I use Google play music because it seems to just go way back with some of my favorite artist, and it takes the music I already have off of my computer and inserts it. however I'm thinking I may need to go with apple because there are so many Apple users, to see what's trending there. Any thoughts on this? Do you think it matters which streaming service?
I have Spotify playlist just for dropping in new ideas, I have Shazam on every device and every car. I also can be found listening to multiple radio streams in different markets to see what's hot. Always in "discovery " mode lol My best advice is take advantage of "related artists" in Spotify search, that's where some real gems can be discovered.
Terry (may I call you so ?), I get your point BUT I tried this a few years ago : - most of the tracks wasn't at all in my taste : hard to play these tunes and get involved doing it. >< - the demographic listening to streaming and the ones in clubs/parties are not the same !!! Under-aged kids have access to streaming, not to our nights, that make a big difference. - people mostly stick to radios, even in 2019 and when they stream it's not to discover, it's to have THAT song available on repeat : nothing more. - even the charts (by country) was off (you saif the opposite around 5:00) - the trending/popular is based on what ? How many times it has been played ? Yeah, ok, let's pay a click farm somewhere in the world to increase those plays. I respect your opinion and wanted to be smart and played that move back then : it didn't worked at all ! (be it itunes/spotify/deezer) #myexperience
Yep so true also if there something trending on Apple music or whatever that I don't really like Il run it past my teenage daughter and she will tell me if it's wack lol. ( if it ain't popular at her high school apparently it's wack 🤣)
Hi dj, I'm the guy that's apprehensive about serato, and keep vdj around,for one reason an that is ,music access, you know serato had its issues in the past whith locker, vdj is plugging along ,but I'm interested in what you said, is,has serato str8en it's issue's out,and what do you recommend for hotspot
I use SoundCloud but wit CB is the better source for music and I wanted to know how do get music from Apple Music account into SERATO if that is possible?
THAT WAS GREAT ADVICE!!! Thanks. I do have a question once you hear an artist that's not being played on the radio (the same scenario that you set up) do you play the song through the streaming service at an event ? and if you do what's the quality of the Song?
It's good put if I wanted a song that I heard on a streaming service how would I get it sometimes my record pool doesn't have everything and now iTunes is shutting down.
i tried out tidal for the last 2 months. it was working fine but then after a while the tidal started crashing my serato. first the wave form would fully load up then during the songs the waveform would dissappear then the programme would freeze and shut down, this happened with tidal files as wel as my own files. i looked online and found other people having the same issue, first i tried rescanning all my files again to see if that would fix the issue but it didnt. next i uninstalled the serato programme and drivers and firmware and reinstalled everything to see if that would fix things but the issue still persisted, it wasnt until i deleted the tidal programme that the issue stopped. i was very upset as the tidal streaming had been working for me for a while. i messaged tifdal but got no reply from the support so i cancelled my subscription. since then my serato has worked without issue so this message is to warn people b4 they use tidal. P.S. it was a a booking when the programme froze up and if i didn't have my backup system with me running virtual dj then i would have been really screwed. also terry i love your videos and look forward ot seeing new ones soon...
Hey Doc I have a question for you how can I get my CD collection which I do not wish to re-buy all that music to put into rekordbox. Is there some way I can rip that music and put it in there nobody seems to answer this question for me. You seem to be open enough to maybe answer my question I'd appreciate it. I'm an old-school wax and cd guy who's flipping over to the new digital age
Hey thank you so much for responding in the midst of all is going on in the world. What's the gel being shut down and gives me something to do yes my computer has a CD drive.
What an excellent topic. Just excellent. I use franchise record pool, however at gigs when i get a cra,y request i tell them to pull the song up on their cell phone (clean version) and i will play it via 3.5mm phone jack to RCA connection in the mixer. I do have spotify but dont use it much. I play all clean versions of music and i find spotify to have all explicit versions of songs.
Kind of a double edge sword imo. If Yr only playing music that others like, how do you build you own unique style? What sets you apart from the kid 2 blocks down who does the same thing? That said sites like hypeddit.com always provide me we quality underground stuff🙂
Spotify open up a world of music , it makes all users music a music experts , kids now days they would like to connect their phone with Spotify in my sound system the whole night and no to me to touch it Spotify changing the dj world
Streaming = Always having an internet connection to use. Most streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud all have crappy sounding quality music. I haven't tried Tidal Hifi yet, but even if you do use it and do pay for it, you need a high speed connection to be streaming flac and wav/aiff files. I used Spotify with a great wireless connection this past Memorial day weekend and it locked up on me 3x's using my Macbook Pro 15" and Djay Pro 2. Has nothing to do with my computer or the internet connection. The Spotify actually locked up the program and had to restart the program all 3x's. If your willing to give up having a solid performance from beginning to end, I would not be streaming files to play all night. If you need a couple of files here and there, then yes, I wouldn't use it all night for a 4-6 hour gig. I pay monthly for promo only, funkymix, ultimix and a secret website for all my house/club music. Local files are the way to go, they will never be replaced with streaming services. There will always be room for errors if you stream DJing. I've DJ'd over 100 gigs without my laptop not locking up. Used Spotify streaming and 3 times at the same gig it locked up. This would be a big no for me from now on. I rather pay for a few tracks from iTunes if I need the tracks that bad. Plus Promo Only is fantastic for radio edits of all explicit Hip Hop tracks. Lucky my gig was only a friends house party I was DJing, so it wasn't a life or death situation. I learned my lesson never to use it again though.
It's really sad when I read responses from people who clearly haven't watched the video, like at all. Do you know how frustrating that is as a content creator that spent time creating? SMH.
Some people believe they know everything, don't feel discouraged those of us who are always open to learning and listening to new things we are loving these videos. Keep up the good work!
Nah, I think its just unfortunately natural for people who are pleased with something to stay silent. Great content my friend!
Keep creating we appreciate the time and effort.
Lol i use tidal till spotify or pandora comes into play i was you tubing but not since serato pro
You made some valid points, I don't use streaming, I'm old school so I still dig in those crates fortunately those crates are my own. I'll pullout a old school joint that hit hard 20 or 30 years ago beef up the beat and slap it back into action and the reaction is always positive with people thinking it's a new song.

I was an audio mastering engineer for 10 years, I heard some great music that never saw light of day!! Good info!!
I totally agree I've been using spotify when I DJ for years and it always comes in handy if someone requests something that I don't have in my playlist especially country music the last wedding I did was 90% country and although they did give me a playlist of stuff they wanted to hear I was getting request all night long for a lot of old school stuff that I never would have listened to on my own. Great channel, keep up the videos.Tangent approved!!
I should probably clarify that I have Spotify reserved on an extra channel on my mixer I don't actually use that service for DJing
New follower and love all your vids mate. Very helpful for us wedding Dj’s.
Absolutely spot on Terry you need to have as much variety of music new and existing from all around the globe keeping your streaming services and your subscriptions up-to-date so you have access to what is huge and all around the world compilations to come out with old and hard to get songs come out all the time I just found a few ones just recently
my man Cleveland always dropping very useful info he has definitely helped out my company keep the videos coming respect always

Spotify is my go to, I’ve heard that Serato may implement it which means popular playlists are regularly updated
This is good to know.
I am certain that those you haven't thought of streaming services for music would find this video interesting. Thanks for putting it out.
Great video my brother, I feel you man you have to stay current. By listen to streaming services you definitely hear new stuff that you may not have know about.
Yes! This is exactly why I stream using Google Music! On top of discovering good music in other genres I generally don't listen to, I'm stumbling onto older Hip Hop albums that I've never heard before because a lot of them got overlooked in the overabundance of great music in the golden era...
I Use Tidal and itunes. Millions of Songs! I Love It! Now they need to pay the people who created the music more money.
Great content on finding great unheard music being played in the radio. The only downfall ive had on finding indie artists is that they aren't in the record pools. One would have to purchase the tracks, play of the service via phone or rip it from online....

I use Tidal for my streaming service. I agree if you're not using them you're working with one hand behind your back. JMO!
How is it library wise? I've been thinking about it, I need a big rap/trap catalog, Kevin Gates, Moneybagg, Nba Young boy etc...
After watching this, I might have to listen to streaming radio. I don't listen to regular radio anymore. When I do listen to music, I listen to mixcloud and soundcloud, I have a few different djs' I listen to that play a certain genre that I like and see what is new
Up cleavy up thanks for the advice
Love your videos, keep up the good work.
So on point bro!
Hey Terry I bought the new DJ 7:07M controller the platters are really sensitive and I haven’t figured out the Feedback yet this is the reason I bought the controller because of the feedback feature.
also look and see who your favorite artist listen to. maybe they have playlist with a lot of good tracks, and spotify and other streaming apps find songs you may like that you didn't know where out there. Also top charts for each year such as, you could lookup and see some of the best 100 tracks from 1999 or any year and genre. Dig dig dig. the best djs love to dig for music.
+Dj T-Rod very true.
Yes. This make a lot of sense.
Good info as always! #upcomingdj 💯

Any thoughts on this? Do you think it matters which streaming service?
Late night college radio can also provide more insights into good music even before the songs become hits
True
Good info
I was just thinking about that since i got Spotify about a month ago
I have Spotify playlist just for dropping in new ideas, I have Shazam on every device and every car. I also can be found listening to multiple radio streams in different markets to see what's hot. Always in "discovery " mode lol
My best advice is take advantage of "related artists" in Spotify search, that's where some real gems can be discovered.
Yup!!
Apple Music and Spotify are the streaming services I use
I miss whn the radio played David Bowie,then right after play Grandmaster Flash!
Me too
Right on point! 💯
Yo Terry, I watched the whole video Fam....now PLEASE tell me where you copped that DJ themed sectional wall portait!!!!
MarxSound Audio Services I’ll have to look. I know my office partner bought it on an IG post but I haven’t seen it since then.
Wow. People. Watch the video and then comment.
Another great one.
This 👆🏾
Terry (may I call you so ?), I get your point BUT I tried this a few years ago :
- most of the tracks wasn't at all in my taste : hard to play these tunes and get involved doing it. ><
- the demographic listening to streaming and the ones in clubs/parties are not the same !!! Under-aged kids have access to streaming, not to our nights, that make a big difference.
- people mostly stick to radios, even in 2019 and when they stream it's not to discover, it's to have THAT song available on repeat : nothing more.
- even the charts (by country) was off (you saif the opposite around 5:00)
- the trending/popular is based on what ? How many times it has been played ? Yeah, ok, let's pay a click farm somewhere in the world to increase those plays.
I respect your opinion and wanted to be smart and played that move back then : it didn't worked at all ! (be it itunes/spotify/deezer) #myexperience
Facts!
Honestly at times I just use "Billboard Charts" for different genres & go get the tracks at a DJ Pool..
ClectaSkiMusic only problem is billboard doesn’t have all the popular hip SoundCloud guys.
Cleveland Terry Bowens it’s fine. Out here in the Caribbean most times Billboard music is listened to other than our own local music.
give a dj tutorial, I would totally watch yours.
Any thoughts on what streaming service would be best for DJs? Apple, Spotify, Google play, Tidel???
Yep so true also if there something trending on Apple music or whatever that I don't really like Il run it past my teenage daughter and she will tell me if it's wack lol. ( if it ain't popular at her high school apparently it's wack 🤣)
Hi dj, I'm the guy that's apprehensive about serato, and keep vdj around,for one reason an that is ,music access, you know serato had its issues in the past whith locker, vdj is plugging along ,but I'm interested in what you said, is,has serato str8en it's issue's out,and what do you recommend for hotspot
I use SoundCloud but wit CB is the better source for music and I wanted to know how do get music from Apple Music account into SERATO if that is possible?
THAT WAS GREAT ADVICE!!! Thanks. I do have a question once you hear an artist that's not being played on the radio (the same scenario that you set up) do you play the song through the streaming service at an event ? and if you do what's the quality of the Song?
Problem I have is which service to use - I have Apple, Spotify and Tidal - in addition I have Beatsource. Where do I stop? Nigel UK
Good Show Cleveland, does the streaming services have clean versions of songs
It's good put if I wanted a song that I heard on a streaming service how would I get it sometimes my record pool doesn't have everything and now iTunes is shutting down.
iTunes is not shutting down
@1:40 I had that happen at a sweet 16. Thought I had music ready to go and was asked for k pop 😂
i tried out tidal for the last 2 months. it was working fine but then after a while the tidal started crashing my serato. first the wave form would fully load up then during the songs the waveform would dissappear then the programme would freeze and shut down, this happened with tidal files as wel as my own files. i looked online and found other people having the same issue, first i tried rescanning all my files again to see if that would fix the issue but it didnt. next i uninstalled the serato programme and drivers and firmware and reinstalled everything to see if that would fix things but the issue still persisted, it wasnt until i deleted the tidal programme that the issue stopped. i was very upset as the tidal streaming had been working for me for a while. i messaged tifdal but got no reply from the support so i cancelled my subscription. since then my serato has worked without issue so this message is to warn people b4 they use tidal. P.S. it was a a booking when the programme froze up and if i didn't have my backup system with me running virtual dj then i would have been really screwed. also terry i love your videos and look forward ot seeing new ones soon...
Hey Doc I have a question for you how can I get my CD collection which I do not wish to re-buy all that music to put into rekordbox. Is there some way I can rip that music and put it in there nobody seems to answer this question for me. You seem to be open enough to maybe answer my question I'd appreciate it. I'm an old-school wax and cd guy who's flipping over to the new digital age
Corey Dudley does your computer have a cd rom?
Hey thank you so much for responding in the midst of all is going on in the world. What's the gel being shut down and gives me something to do yes my computer has a CD drive.
You SPOT ON CT. but it's RUclips music premium.i have that one
What an excellent topic. Just excellent. I use franchise record pool, however at gigs when i get a cra,y request i tell them to pull the song up on their cell phone (clean version) and i will play it via 3.5mm phone jack to RCA connection in the mixer. I do have spotify but dont use it much. I play all clean versions of music and i find spotify to have all explicit versions of songs.
I'm a house head. where is the best site for it. I'm from chicago and i'm old school, no techno or edm.
Maurice Mcgary beatportbis still probably your go to.
S/O to Amoeba!!!
Kind of a double edge sword imo. If Yr only playing music that others like, how do you build you own unique style? What sets you apart from the kid 2 blocks down who does the same thing? That said sites like hypeddit.com always provide me we quality underground stuff🙂
DJay is going to dominate because it has Spotify integrated in the software.
+Mac Joseph I still need to test it.
I knew I was up to something lol
Spotify open up a world of music , it makes all users music a music experts , kids now days they would like to connect their phone with Spotify in my sound system the whole night and no to me to touch it
Spotify changing the dj world
Dead on my brother 🙏🏽

Hot97 is the worst radio for hip hop
At one time it was the best. I stopped listening since 2005
@@MemoGrafix Same here.
i use barley use streaming services
Streaming isn't good for younger non mainstream music... And you need a clean edit for teens schools
Lol. Please watch the video. I didn't say anything about streaming from your DJ platform.
Streaming = Always having an internet connection to use. Most streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud all have crappy sounding quality music. I haven't tried Tidal Hifi yet, but even if you do use it and do pay for it, you need a high speed connection to be streaming flac and wav/aiff files.
I used Spotify with a great wireless connection this past Memorial day weekend and it locked up on me 3x's using my Macbook Pro 15" and Djay Pro 2. Has nothing to do with my computer or the internet connection. The Spotify actually locked up the program and had to restart the program all 3x's.
If your willing to give up having a solid performance from beginning to end, I would not be streaming files to play all night. If you need a couple of files here and there, then yes, I wouldn't use it all night for a 4-6 hour gig. I pay monthly for promo only, funkymix, ultimix and a secret website for all my house/club music. Local files are the way to go, they will never be replaced with streaming services. There will always be room for errors if you stream DJing.
I've DJ'd over 100 gigs without my laptop not locking up. Used Spotify streaming and 3 times at the same gig it locked up. This would be a big no for me from now on. I rather pay for a few tracks from iTunes if I need the tracks that bad. Plus Promo Only is fantastic for radio edits of all explicit Hip Hop tracks.
Lucky my gig was only a friends house party I was DJing, so it wasn't a life or death situation. I learned my lesson never to use it again though.
