Episode notes
Streaming Rising Among DJs
- Streaming sources have risen to 41%, rivaling DJ pools at 40% as music sources for DJs.
- This shift demands DJs relearn music management to accommodate new sourcing methods.
Automate Music Sorting
- Use auto import features in Serato to automatically add new music to specific smart crates.
- This eliminates multiple manual steps by sorting tracks into folders by genre or other criteria.
Organize Hot Cues Creatively
- Organize hot cues by placing intros, drops, and outros on the top row of pads.
- Use the bottom pads for loops or vocal stabs to enable creative live chopping during mixes.
