Thanks for helpful video, it eased my mind about going with an older MBP and probably saved me some cash from buying something newer I won't need. Blessings!
Hey Bro , thanks 🙏🏽 for the video. It’s 2023 , two months away from 2024 and you just saved me a Ton of money. No need for me as a DJ to go out and buy the latest Mac book ! Thanks 🙏🏽 again !!!
I would suggest getting a 2016 MacBook and up now, if you can. You have techs that can install the new OS on old computers but that causes issues down the line. another option is to have some install a version of windows on the mac so you can load both windows and apple os, and use the windows for Serato and fllx10
I’m new to digital DJing,,, going to get a Mac but don’t want to spend a lot, and all I want it for is rekordbox and my music and maybe RUclips channel where I can put my mixes on. What will do for me ?
I have a gun 2018 macbook pro Catalina, i7, 16g ram, 2.5 ghz. I use traktor pro 3.6(2022) a traktor kontrol s4 mk3 with 2 turntable stanton T.92. It works, than it doesn't work. Basically its on then off, then on....offI. Im Getting low connection errors from the turntables. What do I need or what am I doing wrong?
I don't know much about tractor, I spoke with my friend Dj Troy, he said check your needles or increase the weight on the tonal arm to make the needle sit more on the record....
Hey Bro , quick question. So I’m on a budget right now. If I was to purchase a 2012 MAC Book Pro will I be able to use Rekordbox Software on it today and for the upcoming new year 2024 ?
You should be able to. But right now I recommend newer Macs as time has passed, try to get a 2015 and up because you will run into issues when you want to upgrade OS.
Thank you found those useful I’m a dj myself and just had my 2012 Mac shit on me so I wasn’t sure to get another same version or upgrade to a 2015 model
Can u give me the specs I should be looking for? I'm looking for a back up. Should I go 15, 16 or 17 What size Mac book How many gbs How much ram I do want all my usb ports
prob late for responding to this but 15 inch, any year is fine (15,16 or 17 - either one is good), 16gb of ram, and 500 gb. You can always get a external SSD which I have right now since 500 gb isn't enough for me.
Thanks for the video, very informative. I use my ttm57sl redline with a Win7 PC and to be honest it's good but I know I would be doing better with a Mac PC/Laptop... Which one do you suggest and which OS was sturdier for the ttm57sl redline? Appreciate some feedback Thank you!
Dj for 30 years. I use a mid 2012 13 inch macbook pro i7 2.9ghz 500gb ssd 16gb RAM. Specs are fire but im starting to have issues connecting to newer mixers even after i tried updating os. Should i just get a 2015 13?
Yes that's one of the issue with the 2012s, I would suggests you go newer. 2015 and up is ok. Do you use any other music softwares other than Serato, also what's your budget...
@@Djmartindus budget not really an issue. Just frugal and dont want to buy cpu that is overkill when im only using it for serato and need it to be compatible with s9 and nexus at least
I'm with you bro.. great video and your talking style 👌.. I have rane one I'm using Windows right now. I have problem with Windows. Plane 2 buy a use mac book pro... can you advise me wich specs should I want? 🙏🤘✌️
New hardware most of time its not gonna solve it - you will only have problems with some minimum requirement system demanded by some latests softwares like Serato DJ pro 3.0. if any serato older version works fine and still has everything you need - stick with it. thats no problem at all - many guys still use core I5 / I7 and windows 7 pro (64bit) + 16gb ram with older serato versions flawlessly - mind this - its all based on MIDI protocols...wich is very old and limited - and most of the DVS systems runs with USB 2,0 - even USB 3.0 wont get any better
I love the SD card slots you can literally get a 2TB mini and card throw it in an adapter with all your music slide it in card reader and take up no extra desk space with a portable
The library is too white for me on serato. Am using a 13inch 3017 mac. On windows the library is gray. I see better. How i fix this? Or is its a 13inch
@@Ydk927 if you are using it for dj purposes only definitely, as you progress you will start it edit songs and may want to video edit, in that case I would recommend a 16gb.
@@Djmartindus me know fam ........... me a experience crashing and loosing music...........just need covid go weh so i can go back a school and try get subscribers to my channel and try make some cash fi buy one mac book and a new phone......... Keep up the good work..........still await on the video showing how to make remixs with just an laptop. free software and not audiocity
2017+ is the better option over all, I am sorry. I keep nothing on mine even for when I am photo and video editing. Even when mixing, still keep nothing on board, but the sear amount of processing power overall compared to my 2012 - 2015 MacBook Pro 13 and 15 inch it just does not compare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for the feedback, I have noticed something about the new laptops. When playing outdoors if any sunlight catches it they freeze up while djing. So the older ones can withstand heat more.
BEST ACCESSORIES FOR YOU NEW MAC, CHECK IT OUT - bit.ly/2SZ8mdk
Good looks
I’m definitely planning on getting 2 8gb 2014 MacBookPro’s getting one this fall and the other one winter
Hey bro, i really like your video about this topic. I have a had time making a decision where to keep my music. Internal or external ?

Older Mac here I come! Thanks man
Thanks for telling me the first 30 sec of the video ✌🏽
Thanks for the video. I have a 2009 MacBook Pro OS Maverick would it be worth to upgrade or should I get a newer MacBook Pro.
Thanks
Thank you brother
Great Bro
First time watching you! Great video bro
Appreciate your video! What kinda mic is pinned to your shirt? Sounds good

Later 2013 is the best for DJs
Give info on the old MacBook your using
Mr Dus continue bringing those contents love them all. I know the hard work you put in bro. Dweeet
I have a TTM 57 SL and I love it. Which Mac will work with it? Need some input please.
2015 and up, sorry for the late response
Yow bro I know this is not about your topic but do have any guidance on getting dancehall and reggae music is there a website for that?
There is not just one site. There’s www.dancehallarena.com
www.tunebanks.com
Sometimes it’s best to find a dj that you can exchange music with. Yeah
I was debating on a 6-core 2.9ghz i9 processor vs. an 8-core 2.3 ghz i9... What's more important, the number of cores or the processor speed?
I’m new to digital DJing,,, going to get a Mac but don’t want to spend a lot, and all I want it for is rekordbox and my music and maybe RUclips channel where I can put my mixes on.
What will do for me ?
What software should i use on my newer 2017 MacBook Pro to work with most mixers like nexus 900
Awesome video ❤which laptop can I use for vdj like using serato Dj video to Dj
I now recommend to get a 2017 or up, that’s because most older versions can’t upgrade to the newer operating systems out now.

@@Djmartindus Thank you! Other DJ’s are suggesting I get a MB/M1 or M2. Everyone says that the M1 is more than capable.
Question, do you think you can DJ using new iPad Pro... what’s your opinion
I do it and connect it to a mixer
Very well said!
So the 2017 one can be use but a bit hand bugging ?or the older days or more worth it 🤔
I need to know what's the oldest macbook pro should I get for serato. What is the oldest year MacBook that is able to update to Mojave ?
i would suggest not to go below 2012 - 2013 models.
Is the old macbook pro 2019 version and new 2020 version? That's what comes up on amazon
Thank you found those useful I’m a dj myself and just had my 2012 Mac shit on me so I wasn’t sure to get another same version or upgrade to a 2015 model
Sorry about your Mac, hope you will get a better one soon
I'm still using a 2011 macbook pro i7 , 16GB Ram & 2 hard drives.....I'm cool
No glitch ING? Computer freeze?
Can u give me the specs I should be looking for? I'm looking for a back up.
Should I go 15, 16 or 17

Thx from Russia, nice video, man🔥
Russia 🔥🔥 bigs up, great !
Downfall I’m having with the old laptop is when you click update it’s not allowing it to work, right😢
I’m trying to see if there’s old update versions
the older ones can't upgrade to the new Mac OS .If someone does a hack on it and install it causes a lot of issue.
Can I use a 2020 mack book pro for dj
yes you can, if you play in direct sun
light it may freeze up when using serato dj

Djmartindus I haven’t been able to spot that change, but with the newer ones it is known for thermal throttling under extreme heat.
2014 and 2015 is the very best DJ computer
