Dj Ceeb this is great most especially we upcoming djs in uganda Africa bse we always think having the most expensive equipment is the way you can become a great dj'your advice helps thanks🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the video. I bought my 2nd hand Windows laptop for 160€ last year. A bit older than yours (2014 I think) but with an i7 and a dedicated graphics card. Updated RAM to 16 GB and it runs Serato Pro quite well - even stems are a go!
No blue death screens or just shut downs. How is the pc meter at the top of the Dj window. And I should have asked first is the cpu meter still there. I’m using Traktor. And I was a huge serato Guy. I had the original -ext-rectangular sound hub . Than I got a Mac for quick down loads and notice music play from the Mac thru the same mixer sounded way better that the serato / control vinyl was tooo much shot going on. And using a straight controller was better I assumed and bought an NS7 and had to go to a waaaay better Mac 🖥️ so I did and bought a 25.inch I Mac rammed out with crazy HD space and only stored music in external drives. Redundantly . Just in case. But now I’m a Traktor freak with a Mac book pro with a solid state drive and a glyph 2 tb solid state HD . the S s is key no moving parts . And I’m on my 3 rd Traktor S4 controller. Serato doesn’t compare.
You can buy a Mac air and dj also. Im glad I always had my own thought process when it came to things like this. Also 128gbs is terrible for music management. That is phone storage.
So Ill just ask this...because you dont use stems or like it or find it innovative you call it crap.....? Need your help making sure I understand your comment,plz make it make sense....@@djonenonly8381
I had my first gig this past Saturday I used my iPad mini 6 with ddjflx400 the moment that made me realize I need a laptop was when my djay pro would load songs I would pick to the deck I wasn’t using instead would do it to the side that I wasn’t playing a track 😭 it was super embarrassing but overall went alright
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 ?
Whoa lets be honest with ourselves here. Buying a 12 year old Macbook and expecting a lengthy ownership is just a dreamy Saturday in January youd need to update,unfortunately these MAcbooks from 2012 have done their time and software upgrades will become a serious issue so be a lil more recent with your purchase..Now u can do some beginner stuff on this 2017 Macbook yes but as u improve and expand youd need a more powerful processor and a newer unit..Heads up,yeah u might find it a waste of time and money but when that MBP 2012 gives up youd be in the same position youre in at present,on a budget and cant get what you need at the cost. Youre better off buying an M1 that can still be supported till about 2027...2028 even,2012 has no support for most apps needed in 2024 anyway and the performance and battery life sucks. Back then they worked really great but ....well time caught up and processors have improved drastically so be smart bro...
@@JugglinLorde Thanks 🙏🏽 so much for what you said. I do have a 2015 MacBook Air and was thinking 🤔 of just using it to get my music together on there. Think I can get with a Record Pool to download some music ??
DJin applications are not cpu intensive, so even intel MACs from way back will be just fine. The only thing would be battery if using without a power source
Hi, if I have a 2015 Mac air with Monterey OS, it’s still okay to download the newest Pro version? Will it work? I have a FL-X4 controller, do you think it’ll be compatible to use? I didn’t see it on the Monterey “compatible” list.
@@flyrobin133… tidal will definitely let you down especially if you dont have a great WiFi signal and if DJ’s like using stems tidal now doesn’t let you use stems anymore with it it let a friend of mine down in the middle of a gig his song froze up if djs want to stream I suggest getting beatsource streaming platform it works great and built for serato for djs by djs!
OneLove DJ CeeB, Can you confirm how to download an older version of Serato Pro 2.5.9? Found some 3rd Party sites, but wanted to confirm if you know exactly where this is on the main site??
Thank you, I'm interested to purchase another mixer, away from Apple and Traktor. I believe I will be in peace, working on my music, knowing nobody will interfere with my time, duplicating, deleting, and low cost materials to be replaced, updating the system several times with no inproverments. Not to mention purchased over 8,000 songs from iTunes, I hope all dejays will not trust these corporations, consistently promoting new equipment's.
You don’t know the amount of pressure I had to buy a new MacBook and Rev7… you can still make a good start with that set you just used 👏👏👏👏 thanks

A solid video and good message to beginners or people lusting after being a dj but never really did it live or with the proper equipment.
This videos shows that you dont need a expensive laptop for dj’ing. I may have to get one of them
You can buy a Mac air and dj also. Im glad I always had my own thought process when it came to things like this. Also 128gbs is terrible for music management. That is phone storage.
usb external harddrive could solve the storage right? really pocket sized and good
Nice and details thanks sir ❤
Thank you for your good advice
Very good video, thanks & will subscribe.
what year macbook pro is that tho?
I never thought that would work for DJing buying one soon
Good deal. I been having issues with the computer I got and I got two other laptops but I will try this
Stems is a challenge now with old laptops 😏
Dont need that crap anyay
So Ill just ask this...because you dont use stems or like it or find it innovative you call it crap.....? Need your help making sure I understand your comment,plz make it make sense....@@djonenonly8381
How many different transition techniques do you use? If possible can you break them down by percentage used?
im glad u showed us i got air as well and i paid over almost 1700 forn apple

I have a 2017 mackbook pro just like wat u have in the video and my SERATO dj pro effect not working like reverb not working any soultions
do your 2017 macbook pro works with Serato Stems ?
Thanks brother
Which one is better for serato dj pro, macOS Monterey 2017 also this what on video is or MacBook Pro 2014 ?
Hey what’s up D, all of a sudden I see my dj serato pro wave form glitching have ever seen that ?
My MacBook Pro 2017 won’t run serato
The real test is playing outside under the sun for at least 5 hrs
What year is that laptop please? Great video btw 👍
He says 2017 at 1:55
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 ?
I use a 2011 max pro, no issues on Rekordbox
@@rubetubeable Thank You

What is name of track

The laptop is nice with the machine
250$ for that computer is a really good deal.
You can mix on your iphone for $50 a year. And get Tidal and your good. Get a $90 smaller controller and mix anywhere. Much better for beginners
That’s how I started
Don't depend on the internet for something like a wedding.

I have a 2012 macbook pro does it work with the pioneer flx10 what would you guys recommend
M1 apple minimum for flx10....

serato has all the older version on their website jus look it up
just brought an 2020 M1 512GB 16 GB for around $700 on ebay
u fancy, huh..
I paid £344
damn bro, Mon-Terry?
Great vid, thanks! I've notice you (and a lot of UK UA-camrs) talk in dollars, not pounds, why is this?
Honestly it never crossed my mind to buy a brand new Mac to dj I automatically went used 🤷🏿♂️
Get a external hard drive bro, you don’t want to keep all your music on a older laptop
Why a Mac book to begin with though?
using a windows tablet is my prefence. I play outdoors in the desert, mountains, beach, ect in bright ssu
i made hackintosh for under 200$
Lol. I dare you to run stems on this machine,
No one need that crap
If you run Rekordbox... This Mac will struggle if you use stems.
Mon-tah-Ray = Monterey
Ooops my bad it’s a 2017 🤦♂️
