That's up to preference. The cue button is all you have on CDJs (unless they're the newer Pioneer ones), but yeah. You can use the hot cue button too if you prefer

Thanks John, really appreciate that! I ran with the saying "go hard or go home", so here we are haha

Thanks Andii! To think this was 10 years ago already. Time flies!

But, do you use all of them?

Good tip! I forgot to mention that.

Sorry I don’t believe so

@@djcarlo it’s ok no worries, do you by any chance have any videos on mixing in Serato ?

Unfortunately no. That seems to be exclusive to Rekordbox

Thank you so much! I feel like Mixing in key doesn't get the love it deserves

@@djcarlo I learned music growing up as in played piano and learned ear training and theory (though don't ask me anything about that I can't remember much lol). I just played on a friend's Mixstream pro recently, first time DJ-ing, I love it, I bought a FLX4 that's on its way and have binge watched your content, taken notes, it makes sense. I don't get why they chose A for minor and B for major though, I wonder what the reasons and why not A for Major (as there is an A in there)

@@djcarlo I actually asked my friend what the key thing was, but he didn't want to bombard me with info so he said it helps to reference and blend music but didn't go further than that so now I know the theory

Awesome! Can't wait for yours to arrive 🤩

The type of CDJ doesnt matter, but if you have the DJM 900nxs, all you need to do is follow the exact instructions as everything, even the Noise FX is available on the mixer 🥳

Cool comparison, right? 🤩

Yay! Thanks for watching all the way to the very end! What are your thoughts on the Rane One?

I dont think the beat grid lines show up on the 3000. At least, I don't recall seeing them or noticing them while playing

You're not! You've added flair and technique to your sets already, meaning you've mastered your mixer 🤩

@@djcarlo hahah thank you for the words, but i think ill always be cause im always looking forward to improve even small adjustments 🙌🏾

Oof, I'm not sure if you can. Let me try to check for you! I've only tried changing the sampler folder in Serato

@@djcarloI searched a bit today.. didn’t find a solution yet.. searched also for changing the default folder roots of rekordbox, which in Mac are the documents and music folders.. like I do in other programs like Ableton for example.. strange it’s not a simple thing..

Yup yup! So once you have them, they're yours forever

@@djcarlo oh wow! thanks. So if I just get a subscription for a month and download basically all the songs I want for a while at least, I won't need to continue the subscription?

Yup yup! Anything is essentially free game as long as you're subscribed 🥳

Do tell, how would you end your DJ sets? :)

@@djcarlo 2nd one was better

Oh lol, I do agree that the second one is better. Thats how I end my sets when Im on closing duties and the lights need to come on

Thank you so much! Gotta say, trance hits different

It's not quite my genre either, but I'd say the same techniques still apply to Dubstep as they do to most EDM genres

Obrigado! Hope you enjoyed the routine! :D

Yup yup!

If they're not hardware related (4 pads! Why?!), then possibly yes! I recall Engine DJ now has Touch FX, which functions similarly to Dry/Wet knobs, plus it continually updates too :)

You're very welcome! Hope it helped clear up some things about DJing for you :)

Yes. I do that in the video at 11:51

Technically, yes! But for Rekordbox, I would still recommend sticking to the 400

@@djcarlo thank you!

That's Rekordbox DJ :)

Sorry it wasn't to your liking. Great hardcore remixes btw

I have a video from a couple years back about the Inpulse 500! Check out my full review of it! :)

@@djcarlo Already?? Okayy, thank youu :D

You just need to press it at the right time, and set it to the right parameter for the length of the loop. Which controller are you using?

Oh man, sorry you didn't like it! What didn't you like about them? I actually find a lot of my tracks on there, so my experiences with their pool have been nothing short of fantastic for my taste in music

That's a constant in any tech industry I'd say! Cars, phones, gaming consoles, etc. Take this from a guy who was rocking a Nintendo DS all the way till the Switch came out haha

Actually, I'd say it also depends on the country, but many DJs I know who are exceptionally skilled still get tons of bookings despite not creating online content. Word of mouth is still a thing, and even if no one recognizes them, they're still consistent with their work. Putting content out there just adds another layer (and more $$$) for 'em hehe

Oh, that wasn't a beat jump! That was a beat roll. I think the annotations clarified that haha

For sure! Which did you decide on?

My favorite is the 800 really match my DJM450 (watch that review from you as well) but it's not available for now. I can't wait so I will start with the 400 while waiting for 800.

Ohhhh, what don't you like about the layout? And fair point on the mapping, but I still feel like Pioneer should actually solve that paint problem instead of us consumers needing to buy more stuff haha

@@djcarlo The layout of the pad buttons not being in the middle but I understand what they did in regards or it would kinda been a clone of the REV 7 but four channel, So I understand them to keep as "Rane Distinguished Quality" from others, besides that its still a nice controller. The Rev 7 I'm cool with for now.

Not really actually! They're large, yes, but I don't find myself touching that middle part at all while spinning. It was the same case with the REV7. In fact, I found them to be extremely helpful while mixing!

Thank you! What did you like most about the mix?

I honestly cannot answer that as I really don't know. It might be a regional thing! My friends in The Philippines can access the link, but it doesn't ship over there, so it might not pop up in a search as well :o

So many times I've been sitting around while out of the house and looking at songs. Will put them into rekordbox mobile and set them up just to see how they sound together before purchasing. I mean, work smarter not harder right?

That's true! Some folks wanna DJ for fun, others wanna work smarter as you mentioned (which is what I do for my mixes, and end up with a barrage of turn of sync comments). I use sync so I can focus on doing multiple other tricks and techniques to really play with the music, so it's really funny how so many commenters ignore all that just because sync is on lol. For me, it's all about having a good time. If the crowd is enjoying your stuff too, if you're playing in public, then what's the harm in going to town on sync?

I think you mentioned that when the Rane Four dropped! Soooo, ta-da! Haha
