    James - as always, great video! What I love about this guy is his work ethic and his modesty. This dude is jetting around the world and you can tell that he’s such a professional - doing the work every day and still finds the time to crank out tuts or stroll into Guitar Center to check the latest controller. James is also a walking testament that behind every success, in reality is backed up by years of long hours, sacrifice, and hard work. 👊

    HeyHey JH. One question is torturing my mind: I'm 100% with you digging new or rare or unique (in best case all of them) stuff. No problem to fill one or another SSD downloaded from Soundcloud, For me it's more a problem to find stuff in perfect quality. MP3s in highest Bitrate may work at home if you not playing them on a high end system, but it's a totally different thing to mix those stuff in a Club or on a stage, where a fat Soundsystem will reveal any compressed music files , in special if they having a variety of different bitrates. Even in same compress settings it's not guaranteed having files, which you could simply put together in Cubase or similar software. You know what I'm trying to explain, I guess.
    To bring it on a point: For me are such 'samples' fitting together, if I have them in a lossless format like FLAC or also on old basic formats like WAVE. But you barely find them on Soundcloud. I imagine also on purpose, to deny downloading the high quality samples and not losing the control of what ppl doing with those.
    Any tipps, how to handle this and not resulting in a low or lower quality file..? Or any tipp, where I find them on Soundcloud or anywhere else?
    I'm.l not asking that to give pirating music a push, but I like the idea what this clip is mainly about: Having hands on music for mixing , which is unique and not each DJ is having it in his/her Rekordbox...
