Happy to hear this! Got a lot of new videos coming soon
do either of you have any orange files that wont delete, like theyre stuck? I have 10 that wont leave lol
I just entered the digital DJing world in addition to the vinyl realm just a few days ago, and I was just getting into the crate organization thing. This vid hit it right on point step by step precise breakdown, and it's very helpful, that's what's up. I'm now a subber of the channel to guide me through this digital DJing realm.
It's good to see ah trini taking about serato keep it up bro first time I see ah DJ talk about soca that made my day
Thank you so much!!! I just watched this video. Always showing love to dj's
I upgraded from a Windows to a Macbook Pro last week. I'm beginning my transition from Virtual DJ 8 to Serato. This video will definitely make my job a lot easier! Thanks for the information.
Great Video 📹. Awesome suggestion about using the "Comment" section in Serato DJ for brief descriptions of how to transition to other music/genres. Learned a quick trick from Digital DJ Tips. (For example: Use letter "MWW"-Mixes Well With...) i e: [Energy @ 7 MWW (Song A) Top 40 -or- (Song B) Rap]
matching my crates up the exact way as my HD was the biggest thing that helped. Appreciate you brother! i got madd music BUT wasnt ever really organized
Omg where were you years ago. I ask on a forum how to organize their music. Reply was "that's the stupid question" You was a BIG help on this. Thanks for the video
Great tips...and really funny! Mucho gracias!

Good video and tips bro! Thank You!!
thank you so much it works
ITS REALLY WORKED LOL THANK YOU DUDE
Great tips I just ran into this missing file issue in Serato DJ on my PC Still working on fixing some crates.
Good vid. I’ve setting my crates up in a similar fashion for a while. Alot of DJ used to let iTunes do it and it caused them a headache when iTunes when updates went sour. Another thing I’ll add is for DJs that wanna switch from Serato to Rekordbox or maintain duplicate libraries with both this method makes it a piece of cake outside of setting cue points the majority of the work is done. Plus for if you need to do a set off someone else’s laptop just copy what crates and folders you need for that onto a usb stick and you’re good.
greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the knowledge mi Bredah bless up
Thanks for vid really helpful :)
Great Info, Thanks
Awesomeness
Great vid
Works well!! DANKEEE
man great vid
Good Video for the New guys to learn... 1 thing i noticed tho you Got a Lot of corrupt files (Lightning bolt) that will cause serato to crash or those files to glitch .. get a program for mac called "MP3 scan + repair" and drag em straight from serato into the program and fix them then re analyze in serato... should fix them... some can't be tho, you'll have to replace those files
Also found running the bolt mp3s thru audacity & importing / renaming it as new mp3 helps too, just remember to delete original from serato library & scan in New version
Yes more Serator tips
great video!
thats one serious intro...big ups
now i am in a good mood
Hey, I'm just starting out on Serato (from Traktor) and thanks for this video, it was helpful. I'd like it if you could do a demo of the transitions from the soca to the other genres. Also, what's "groovy" and what's "pace"? Could you talk a bit about how you organize your chutney crate and what's a good source high-quality chutney tunes? Thanks!
first time on here, liked will be back, enjoyed the vid.
Great post. Thanks for the tutorial. Now I'm going to delete all of "orange" from my crates. lol
Wooow this is great information learnt ALOT 👍🏽 AND the jokes was hilarious at the top 🤣

First off....quite possibly the most helpful "DJ" video I have seen to date (as far as serato etc.). Thank you so much for the info! One question...

THANKS FOR YOU HELP
Hey .. nice video. Can you recommend music sources and/or Dj Pools? Especially for Soca, Reggae (others as well but these are my main genres) ... Thanks!
real cartoon but good tips thanks man cheers
A few pointes as we go along, and these are universal to crates and management, not just Serato:
The power of crates are lost if you're just replicating the folder structure you already have on the disk anyway. If you already have that structure, there's no point in going through the hassle of creating crates. Just use the browser and it's already in that exact structure.
The real power of Crates is that you can collect your music separately in one central place, or several places. Like if you have several sources of music, you can have different folders for different sources and drop them in the appropriate crates, so you still have a central place to pick your music from when you're DJ-ing.
Right after you mentioned the hassle of disappearing crates you mentioned the backup feature. This is exactly what that backup feature is for. When you got a crate setup you like, save the backup for it somewhere safe and if anything happens, you just need to copy that backup file to the backup folder and it will all be back. Copy that backup every time you make a major change. If you get new music often, make a weekly backup, otherwise make a monthly backup and you're always safe.
Another strength of crates is that you may want one song in more than one crate. A SOCA song may fit both in SOCA and in Party. But if you're restricted by having a physical folder on your computer for each crate, you need to create a copy of the song every time, and that means double the space for each song you want in two crates. This can quickly eat up hard drive space and will mess you up when you're DJ-ing and think you've pulled in a song you've previously set up cue points for, when it's a copy of that song that has no cue points.
Real kudos for using the Comment field of the META tags. Not enough people utilize this feature. There's a reason why most DJ software has that tab up by default, and you displayed the utility of it very well here. Quick and easy overview of things like which songs you know works for your DJ style as transitions between genres is an excellent use of that comment field.
A tip for the renaming of files: When you get to a few dozen songs or more and you realize stuff like "Oh, it's easier for me to see song titles in capitals", there's utilities you can download for free called "Bulk Renaming Tool" or a variation of that name. Many of them are quite advanced and let you search and replace strings or even capitalize every letter in the file names and let you do it for every sub folder of the folder you're currently in. Set it to the main music folder, set it to capitalize names, set it to subfolders and let it run. A lot easier than going through tons of folders and manually renaming a bunch of songs. Also useful if you've used one of those cheaper bulk download services that like to append their own tag to the file name. Just set it to search-replace the tag name for the site with an empty space, and the annoying tag will magically disappear.
And to cap it off: Kudos for being a neat freak. I think all DJ's could benefit from being neat freaks when it comes to their crates. You never wanna accidentally drop that empty file reference onto the deck during a live session. ALWAYS keep your crates clean!
This was helpful. Thank you! What if I wanna reorder a song within my crate (sorted by BPM)? Also, on a mac. Which option permanently deletes a song from your overall library vs crate? Is that the distinction between Cmd-del and opt-del?
hey bro really good video, will you mind telling me what dj pool you use/ source music? some really nice remixes you got there
Trying to get more info about Serato...need info about the"Key", do you use it and should I use iTunes..I have Dropbox..and I use Windows (Dell PC) works really good for me...
Also can you PLEASE send some Soca and, any other mp3 pool links that you would recommend? That would be greatly appreciated. Also this vid was MAD funny and entertaining, keep up the good work, you have a new follower.
Bro beautiful video but very important question.. let’s say I’m searching for the grippa riddim, its not coming up. Only way is if i search by the song.. that’s really annoying especially when i really need to find the riddim but don’t know the song in it. I really need your help on this one
Good job!!!! Can you do a video on how to mix dubplate? How to tie split songs
Hi how are you doing today
Have a quick question
Every time I plug in my hard drive to my Serato
It goes through the whole entire process of Tagging every song in my hard drive
thankyou so much!!!!!!
for sharing your knowledge.
any rekodbox topic, caming??????
We will definitely look into doing some content for those topics. Any other topics you would like to see covered?
kool
Thank you! Hope you're subscribed. Plenty new videos coming soon.
Heyyy, this is a great tips!
Some questions:
1. How much would it affect to the cue points if I relocate the music folders or copy the folders to other storage?
2. Why would some BPMs showed in the column are different from the top panel when we play particular songs?
Great video. Can you create crates with tidal and hard drive?
Hi, thanks 4 ur vid. Ive gotta question : if u download music in to the folders on the harddrive, how can i setup serato to sync with those directories? example..In folder A i have now 125 songs. But in the A directory on my HD i have downloaded 60 new ones...can serato automaticly sync the folders?
Informative vid man, I learned a couple neat tips, great job. One question, how did you go about making all your information in all caps? Did you manually do that or is there some way to automate it?
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching. I literally go in one by one and retype everything myself. I'm hoping there's a better way. If I find anything our I'll let you know.
there is always a way, i assume any decent tagging software can batch capitalize both filenames and tags
@@thedjnetwork There is. Its called MP3 Tag.
THANKS MY BROTHER THIS DJ PITTY JUST START THIS AND THAT WAS MY PROBLEM WE GOTTA LINK SOON
soldier this rell good tip wish u drop the knowledge for we on windows lol
