Building your playlists and your personal music curation is part of who you are as a DJ (it is basically "your sound"). While this type of tech does streamline the DJ process, it comes at the cost of some of your individuality and personal style (and makes you more like the seven hundred thousand people trying to DJ). Remember to always ask yourself "why should his promoter book me over this other guy..." if you don't have a good answer, look at your work flow and craft.
I dropped beatsource for a while but literally picked it back up over the weekend to play a gig where we had some live progressive rappers and artists doing sets. And I remembered why I really love it so much. Just loaded up some Hip hop playlists and remixes to play between sets and I must say. Im a old head so I struggle knowing what people like today but I trusted beatsource choices and they loved my song choices. Especially mashups between the new new and some classics. Yea Ill be sticking with beatsource link again. I just wish we could make sub crates within the offline locker. For the price this must be on the way.
Excellent review, thanks very much. I have been using Beatsource link for a few months now and it's absolutely brilliant, a real game changer. It can dig you out of a hole when you forget to download specific tracks but not just that, I find that customers nowadays have an expectation that you will have pretty much everything ; even some pretty obscure things, so this makes life a lot easier 👍👍
the format seems dope but at a quick glance i hate show some genres get generalized. In their latin category everything is labeled as LATIN instead of reggaeton / dembow / salsa / etc. Im wondering if the same was done for other genres. with that aside i have been stagnant with my crates so looking thru their curated stuff can definitely re-spark my creative side.
Once I updated my MacBook to Big Sur chrome started making the fan run all the time so I deleted it all together. Hoping this becomes compatible with safari. Also I’m hoping in the future there’s someway to combine streaming tracks into other playlists. As of now it serves only as backup music and to have fun with at home.
Hello 👋, can someone tell me if I can download the tunes from Beatsauce to my laptop? I'm planning on making a mini mix on Ableton Live, I also like to run it through Mixed In Key. Thanks for your help 😁
@@dfrees42 not sponsored at all. I pay the full monthly subscription price. I reached out to Beatsource because I thought my viewers would find value giving it a try. They were nice enough to give an extended free trial to anyone that watches the video.
@PDot cool cool 👍🏼 Your video title isn’t really accurate tho. Websites can help you but they can’t make you better. When I think of how good a dj is it’s about track selection/reading a crowd.
To use your PDOT2MONTH promo code, do I begin signing up for a paid subscription and then put in your code or do I begin signing up for a one month free subscription and then put in your code?

Been using beatsource link and web dj for about 6 months, changed the way I prep and organise my music. Brilliant service
Awesome! It's definitely opened my ears to different music I probably wouldn't have heard if it wasn't for the service!
@@PDot very true, with all the curated playlists you have all the best of all genres right there. It’s a game changer
How did it change your way of prep / organization

Certain controllers, like the starlight works with the web player.
This is a great point as well! I really hope they open it up to even more controllers later on too!
Cool, thanks for your video and work!
Thank you for watching!

If you go a bit deeper in their Latin section, they actually organize it into playlists like salsa, maggaeton, cubmia, etc!
Thanks 💜
Thank you for watching!
Yea that save cue points would be clutch. 💪🏽
If they figure that out, this is how I’ll be prepping a lot of my music!
@@PDot they will, we just have to demand it😁👍🏽

Beatsource say stated that they are working on combined playlists!
@@PDot that’s what’s up!
great info
PROMO CODE is Invalid on the BEATSOURCE buying subscription section?
Can it also be used as a spotify style streaming service to listen onthe go?
Hi guy's,
Does beatsource also work with my old sl3 serato? Thanks!
I think Serato stopped supporting the old SL boxes before they added streaming services…
so if i undersand right Its a streaming Platform not a DJ pool?
It’s actually both. It’s a streaming service for your DJ software that also allows you to save tracks onto your computer for offline use.
@@PDot thanks for the clarification
Nice 👍
Thanks for watching!

Unfortunately this is not possible.
I Have A Chromebook HP Does It For Chromebooks?
How do I listen offline on beatsource dj ?
Do I have to pay for beatsource DJ I have it but I don't get the full songs
Is the DJ web app capable of having a controller be mapped to control specific functions (ie EQ, Crossfader, tempo etc)?
YES! There are also some controllers that are natively supported as well!
Some of these top 10 are not so current
They are usually updated every month.
Great I'm just searching this up because i want understand what the hell this is my little brother stole my credit card for this crap.
No, thank you.
Hope you give it a try with the extended trial!
Sponsored much?!? Lol. Lame
