Cleveland Terry dude.... 😂 that’s really insignificant compared to the jewels 💎 thanks for sharing the knowledge! You, DJ Tech Tips and Mojaxx keep me fed😋
@@thislazylife exactly. I'm a old school Frankie Knuckles/Larry Levan garage house dude. Even those songs are getting flagged. But I'm glad I listened to this because underground house music have a tendency to be played a little longer than they should. Plus I'm not used to sound effects in those styles of music and maybe that should make a difference when it comes to disrupting the "algorithm".
There needs to be a subscription service that gets approved by the music publishers that works with the social media sites. DJs could pay 10 to 20 bucks a month to go live as much as they want. The service could let the DJs take tips through the service. Enough tips can make the service pay for itself. DJs can get the exposure, artists get paid, DJs get paid, the service gets paid, everybody happy. There are streaming services. What I'm talking about is basically a versions of Mixcloud, but for live-streaming on social media. I think it could be done. Just don't know where to start to try to make it happen. But it needs to be a thing.
That is not the answer if you paid 20 bucks for a month subscription and went on twice a day and played 30 songs each set the artists that owns the music wouldn’t be getting paid fairly. The ANSWER is, if you have a 30 song set, pay $30 bucks, 1 dollar per artist, that is more than they get per stream on Spotify, Apple Music and all other platforms.
Best idea ever! But, I'd say have different plans and no tips for the DJs, as it's free advertising for us, and increasing our fan base. $10/month for 5 streams, $20/month for 10 streams, $50/unlimited...or something to that effect. Hell, I'd pay $20/month to do 10 sessions and get my name out there. You know they're all about the money. It would actually benefit the artists also, as album sales are basically a thing of the past. Again, great idea bro.
Apparently, Mixcloud is about to start a streaming service for DJs. It's free for the first 90-days, then after that I think it's a monthly subscription that the DJs have to pay.
Another way to stay away from being hit with a kick is to speed up the song with key lock off, that way it’s harder for the computer to analyze the song if the pitch is changed, just by a couple BPM can save your stream!!!
I was just about to say this works for me. I’ve notice a difference immediately in the length of my streams. Was able to go almost 2 hours on FB without being taken down. But I do fast mix so I do have that as an advantage in not being flagged so often too.
Loving the channel, but just wanted to clarify and give some facts regarding copyright. I had the pleasure of working at the end of last year at PPL (public performance licence) here in London. Now although they are not directly associated with all the publishers and companies who monitor the internet for breaches in copyright, they do have all the official legal documentation regarding right or wrong! I spent a long time reading these. Here's the deal. First, the myth about pitching up or down, changing keys to try and trip up the software detection system, does NOT work. It may have worked in the early days when the software was not as sophisticated. Secondly, the theory of only playing a part of the track will avoid a hit is also not true. According to the paperwork specification, all audio/visual detection software MUST be capable of detection within 2 bars. There are certain record companies who are more active than others, Warner Brothers being VERY active! The copyright issue has been enforced more during the last 6 months with changes in law regarding this practice. So how do you avoid being kicked off a stream... Play only white label or un-signed dance tracks, or VERY obscure tracks. I realise some of you will say, "how come this guy never gets kicked off..", I guess it's just the luck of the draw. Hope this insight helps. Great videos btw.
djmarkalmond hi Mark, is there a way to get some sort of agreement with label/publishers? a lot of big artists are either doing streams or weekly radio shows and they don’t seem to have any sort of issue... thanks
Or you could start your own streaming service that caters to dj's and others wanting to live stream events that may contain copyrighted material. Each one teach one.
I've been saying that for a while, I've even mentioned it to Instagram, if Dacast, Ustream and Vimeo charge a yearly or monthly fee to stream music, then facebook and instagram can do the same.
Great tips bro! I do a lot of old school mixes. Nothing like new school just pressing play. I build the beats, mix the acapellas on it and craft new choruses and custom hooks. Even if tempo is drastically different, when I streamed on here two years ago I would get hit with claim after claim. But never knocked off the stream. I may end up trying Twitch to see if it's less restrictive. I wish as a DJ that actually creates new songs out of existing and including our own production, that things would be more lenient and labels would allow it since we do alot to promote these artist for free.
same here , I got lucky I got one on here that blew up during pandemic and it dint get blocked , and come to find out all those artist are getting there cut from it so that's cool , its an 80s rub mix
I've found streaming on Facebook, that I get kicked off sometimes, but muting only happens on playback. I'm starting to treat the livestream like a gig - you had to be there. I don't bother having the vid up for long after the fact. I'm also recording some and putting on Soundcloud and they stay up. P.S. play underground, not commercial. Standard.

Really difficult to me as the long mixes are essential to the type of house I play. That being said, you just put my mind in do the short mixes as a personal challenge just for learning process and the fun of what can be. Great video.
I was watching Skratch Bastid's BBQuarantine's live stream on Sunday. I saw from the comments that Facebook dropped out first, and often. Then UA-cam dropped out many times, which is what I was watching on. I was then forced to go to Twitch. Twitch never went down in the 2+ hours I was watching...
Yeah i actually was watching that stream on Twitch. in act i saw him go on on instagram and put it on my tv on twitch and i remember hearing hims saying the comment section said he was going offline.
I only play 80's house music and Electro. I never did a live stream. When I do go live I will include my Digital keyboard synthenzier 🎹 in the mix. Good information!
Sony & Warner are killing my FB sets. smdh. Usually when I quick mix I last 1 1/2 hrs at the most but when I play a song and not layer I get kicked out around 30 mins. Thanks & great tips brotha!
I’m a House and Trance Dj and found your video very helpful it is exactly what I’ve found to be the case too. I now keep my mixes to just under an hour and use effects with plenty of actual creative mixing where it’s appropriate. I keep it simple just using my iPhone with good lighting however, I’ve found the most important thing is the sound quality. People have commented on that the most since I started using an I-rig Stream.
DISCLAIMER: I hereby declare that I do not own the rights to this music/song. All rights belong to the owner. No Copyright Infringement Intended. It has been uploaded for the simple reason that I have deep appreciation of this work of art, and I hope that those who love this kind of music will enjoy it too. This how on Instagram they gave me a chance to dispute it. They released it no problem hope this can help.
Great overall honest advice. The core of these suggestions only truly apply to Top 40/Commercial music spinning DJs If you're House/Dance music style DJ like myself, playing fast and mixing in and out with the new-school A.D.D. approach doesn't fit the esthetic of the genre I and my peers reside in
Best explanation I have heard so far! I went two hours with no issue by doing exactly what you stated. Mix quick, add effects, change tempo and even changing the key.... super appreciate you sharing!
Im gonna try twitch in a couple of weeks to see how it is. So far I've done youtubelive and my vids are still up even though they got claimed, they aren't muted. So i continue to entertain my people even in this calamity we're facing. Gotta show them that the DJ game is still on and stronger than ever.
Thanks for this. It’s 💯Spot on!! Quick mixing, mashups and quick remixing seem to works best for me as well. I recently streamed and got the notification that there may be copyright issues. I quickly dropped another beat over the track playing and was able to play with no further issue. Thanks for all you do for the community 🤟
my guy! This is so so helpful, thank you! I'm streaming for the first time this Saturday and I usually mix in a few mainstream hip hop songs, but I mix fast and use effects, as well as bpm changes and some other stuff...once again thank you and keep putting out content
How long are you letting songs play before mixing out? Can you get away with letting a song play for 2-3 mins, or are you mixing songs faster than that? Very helpful video, thanks for posting!
Thank You so much Cleveland Terry! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for so long, because I was worried about getting booted!!! Appreciate it
Great video. Only two questions. What does it exactly mean ,,flying through music,, from your perspective? Are we talking like about 30 seconds per one song? Second question. Have you ever also tried to play remixes created by random djs/producers so the algorithm would possibly have no clue? 🤷
Cleveland this is what I needed to hear thanks brother. I was on you a few weeks back about VDJ vs Serato and at the end of the day I'm comfortable with what I use and I hope you are to. Thanks for the tips on live streaming.
All my friends have been having good luck with underground electronic, and not getting booted. Guess it's the nature of the beast, play music from labels who can't afford to go after you and you'll never get kicked
One of the best explanation ever, I’ve been telling a lot of my Dj friends this and they don’t listen. Glad to see someone else who gets it. We stream on several sites at once with restream and UA-cam and Facebook are always the first ones that kick us off, twitch has been the only stream we don’t get kicked off. We just make sure to download and delete our videos. Great video man, absolutely great.
I appreciate your Live Internet DJ info videos. Thanks! Otherwise, I am glad to mention that I have averaged 2 hour sets plenty of times because of the good habits that you've mentioned. Plus! My longest session on Facebook was 7 hours and 5 minutes. Stay in the mix!
Very informative. Thanks. I am a vinyl DJ since 1979 and became seriously interested in rejoining the ranks. I am price checking and comparing options on equipment. I appreciate this video but what comes to mind is didn't D-Nice during his quarantine broadcasts get flagged? And if you broadcast live on IG, they people that are watching just hear your set through the phone's mic? Is there an internal connection? I have neighbors. I wouldn't want to crank up music too loud just so my IG broadcast is heard. How do you handle that?
so, If you build a playlist using Shazam and it does not detect it, would that be a rule to use for playing in your stream :) If is not played on mainstream radio and more underground, it doesn't get detected as much.
I do have method that works 99% of the time, and I play all genres, and a lot of old school.. I typically do 2-4 hrs on my facebook live.. I can play music quickly or long..Working on a tutorial now
That's cool Blake. I wish my sets would last that long. I do the same mostly old school and freestyle seem to last longer. Looking forward to your tutorial.
Haven't read every comment here, but only saw one mention of PERISCOPE. Everyone keeps touting Twitch, but Periscope is just as capable, maybe even more capable with features like guest call in, auto post to Twitter, keeps playing in background on iOS and NO TAKEDOWNS. Not to mention ability to receive pro streams via rtsp. The only problem with Periscope is it's not where the herd is grazing!
Thanks for all your kool vids! I am an old school Dj and I have been having cabin fever so I’ve been playing on Facebook live. I like to play old Hip Hop Demos and old original releases that never made it to radio and mainstream. My concern is that some of these “Demos” never cleared their samples. Would these get flagged? Most of what I have and play I’ve either produced,co-produced, mixed, co-mixed, engineered, recorded(in my studio), did scratches on, or I know who the producer/artist is personally. I also play old school beats that have uncleared samples in them. Any thoughts to help my show out?
Hey Cleve, have you got any thoughts on Mixcloud? I have been rather venturing into deeper sounds with hip hop and I haven’t been blocked at all. I think with the streams, we shouldn’t be focusing on commercial tracks, try remixes
This is very helpful. My last set i played my songs too long (which i normally dont do), only because i was buying time for more people to join. But typically i have a 1 to 2 hook rule before i mix in new song
Do you think that playing the original song with a different pitch and then mixing with another track could avoid getting flagged also? I think in youtube there are some people that do that, change the pitch so they don’t get a strike, especially in some beat samples, but I don’t know if it could help in ig live while mixing
very helpful as always. you said to whip through your tracks. about how long do you play each record? i'm thinking 60 songs per hour? this would be helpful
Hey Cleveland Terry. Thanks for the info! I was wondering if you happen to know the best way to collaborate with other DJ's on the same channel. I'm organizing some live stream "parties" and trying to figure out the best way to have someone come on your channel to DJ and the transition to be seamless. Any help is greatly appreciated.
medium.com/@k/how-to-live-stream-dj-sets-on-twitch-81401a99cf1f - if you can deal with the crap of Zoom, it's a way, but Zoom audio sucks. Seems like best way is /host, /raid or 'allow others to stream' options. I thought about getting each DJ to call me on Zoom, then put that in OBS with visuals etc. But Zoom costs money apparently if longer than 40 minute meeting or more than 3 people. If keep the sets under 40 minutes, can do it with zoom into OBS I guess. Then you can be 'master stream' machine and add overlays, visuals, logos etc. Otherwise you need to get each act to do the visuals in their own OBS etc
Snapple facts.....I did a quick Saturday morning mix on IG 2 weeks ago. As soon as Jay-Z got into his verse on "H to the izzo".....my live was suspended immediately. I changed the song and went back in for roughly 2 minutes and left on my own.
I've come to realize that these copyright flags happens with a lot of big old school tunes & newer popular songs. And yes, keep the spin of the songs short. Less than 1min/20sec is best: Hook-verse-hook-transition... #DJLife #StruggleIsReal
Thanks for the info! I find if I search a song on UA-cam and there are multiple posts of the same song and it's been up for a long period of time, you should be good with. Most of the time. Also, remixes help too. Like the old stuff from my DJ days, DiscoTech, Hot Tracks, Ultimix, etc. Again, usually. I had a two part video from Geauga Lake amusement parks last day on UA-cam. Part one I had Cafe Del Mar and part two was Madonnas - this used to be my playground. Madonna was muted right away. Cafe Del Mar was up for 10 years and it just got muted. So you're right, no concrete answers. Are you in Cleveland?
this is a thorn in my side and something i have repeatedly spoken about online. djs are being treated like some sort of 90's bootleger or a pariah of society. lets b real, we break records, we keep so many artists alive and eating cos we are playing their records and yet the thanks we get is black out and mutes!!! facebook seems to operate differently to the other platforms. i been streaming and uploading for years and they are the most copyright unfriendly platform. WHen i speak to other dj friends worldwide, that is by far the worse perpetrator of crimes against djs...!!! they will even block me playing my own music. block first , u have to object and then they may release. the worst case scenario with playing your own music is that u would have to get the distributor to white list you with fb! youtube seem to b fine with nearly everything. the copyright owner will claim his song but its very unlikely u will b muted. it just means u cannot monetise the mix or at least that song. twitch seem to b fine with everything at the moment IG give u about 1 hour stream. if u r getting a lot of viewers, like d nice then perhaps tha tis extended. remember even dj khalid who has x million followers only gets around 4/5/6k live views at any one time. mixcloud - r fully licensed for all music and r the only platform espcially dedicated to music dj miixes and streams. no blocks, strikes, mutes, lock outs... now saying all of that there r some artists which i seem to have prolems with - prince, - they will strike anything. maybe cos some of m mixes get millions of plays its happening but u cant play any prince. u may get away with it in live but for playback im prettty sure they will cut it. jay z is another. maybe if u beat juggle or jus drop 30 seconds but i hav ehad issues with playing any of his catalogue.
素晴らしい内容です！！ really appreciate your video!! I will work on it and try that!! Personally my fav line was "throw some things into the mix that are specific to you!" great WORD!!
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a beginner DJ myself who is still trying to promote my skills with mixing and have recent uploading some of my mixing to UA-cam and Instagram. In one of my uploads, I was beat mixing with some current pop dance tracks and my video was blocked on Instagram. I think I may need to up the tempo a bit on the tracks in question that I share myself mixing, as well as use slightly smaller segments of the songs.
Nice hint 👌🏿 I do almost the same thing, I’ve done live-streaming on Facebook 3x for about 2hrs without any flagging because I search for old music, I don’t play them for too long & I do some mixing tricks to confuse the algorithm....
@CT Do you not have a performance license as a DJ? I'm not sure it helps with broadcasting as this may requires a broadcasting license. However, having a DJ license helps lifting the ban. ...... Sometimes. The problem of international listeners is an issue but I have contacted labels who have flagged me and explained I pay for performing rights. Some withdraw some don't. This was years ago before every man and his dog was online playing sets. I'm itching to get back to streaming and I'm wondering how it'll go.
Cleveland Terry, when we stream here in trinidad we simply put "I do not own the rights to the music, for critic & entertainment purposes".. IG, FB & YT, runs for 90 mins least most times...
Hey Terry like ur message been and Dj for quite a while and I can't stop teaching and mentioning this to my fellow DJs stream’urs I'm at the islands in St. Martin in a definitely going to use your video and posted back on my Facebook page with your permission, thanks Like your contains, stay safe
Hey man... thanks for the video. I had a claim on my set yesterday on UA-cam and I purposely edited the video with the last track (one with the claim) after that and then it was fine. So if the song is played shorter like maybe 1st verse and chorus and mix, it’ll be ok?
One trick to mix faster I'd say using hot cues specially in EDM tracks to skip from Drop 1 to drop 2 and outro... using effects and remixes instead of originals also help out and not playing exactly in the tone so boost or decreaze a little the bpm with master tempo off (forget about mixing in key for obvious reasons)
DJCJ there are tons of ways you can be “whitelisted” Labels can whitelist, you can buy a mechanical license to broadcasts but that’s super expensive. It’s all about who you know or how much money you have.
Twitch is a good way to stream live without problems? It could be useful an article based on this theme, and if it works and you share the live set on facebook, then facebook still stops your stream altough it s not native live?
Hate to be the one to bring it up but.... how does D-nice stay on Instagram week after week for 4-6 hours at a time and never seems to get kicked off. Does he have some kind of special clearance or something?
I totally agree I’ve been watching a lot of my dj Friends getting kicked off left and right and i was like damn, it has to be way so somewhat go around it. And what you mention makes a lot of sense to do some blends with a cappella and a different beat, and get it songs faster lol.. I like that thanks for this info!
Yeah, I've tried old stuff and it doesn't seem to matter. Went back to 1993-1999 trance/techno and did fast mixing and got muted or kicked fast. Went back to 1980's Chicago house and got booted within a few bars of French Kiss. Changed speeds, layered, added loops, tried remixes, doesn't matter. I think they have improved the bots ability to spot what is being played.
I think one way to prevent the kick off is to not play songs that mention the name of the song. For example I was playing Forever Lost of Teebee and FB muted that section. But that part song mentions the name like 20 times. Thanks for the videos Terry.
If somebody is doing a one-off event and live-streaming on UA-cam and NOT monetizing the video/performance, will UA-cam kill the session immediately or just send you a notice after the fact?
Very good video. I play mostly 80s, 90s, early 2000s music but when I switch to newer songs I have gotten flagged within the first 30 seconds of the song.(i.e Strike a pose by young T). Out of the older songs i've only had issues with Usher - Yeah! and butterfly from crazy town. I've also noticed when i play 4 decks and mask the beat of a different song in a different key (i.e two 100 bpm songs being mixed with a third track on a 8 bar loop) certain songs that get flagged passes through.Its really a hit and a miss IMO but worked for me. Playing a track for long is the enemy.
I would like to add to that Cleveland Terry I'm a House/Techno DJ and I enjoy playing long blends in my sets. Also, you would play tracks that have been edited, remixed, reworked, dubbed. They are not the original songs so it shouldn't be spotted and you won't hit with a strike. I run 2 online radio shows using 2 main online radio station platforms. When you play under their umbrella, you are part of their radio platform. That means you under where guidelines they have to allow you to play a full set. I was part of a Virtual Music Fest with 23 other DJs. I and my DJ partner played for nearly 2 and a half hours with no issue. We Livestream on Twitch. Cleveland Terry is correct. There is a workaround. I know 2 many DJs/Producers played their sets with no issue on FB, IG, UA-cam, and Twitch. I have a Twitch account and plan to start my solo show this Sunday.
Playing a small portion of a song does not definitively help you. Content ID creates a fingerprint of the entire song. There is no real rhyme to reason, but as an example, I have sampled a small portion of songs in my artist releases and on occasion it gets flagged. I submit my proof of clearance and it works itself out. Some of my remixes are not flagged, while others are. Neilsen has the same type of ID system for artist to get BDS detections which result in the airplay numbers found in Billboard. Sometimes even those numbers get flubbed because we mixshow DJs overlap, remix, scratch and trick out music which results in music not being detected properly. Ultimately I started my own digital radio station and paid the publishing societies for the right to play on my platform. Anything else is at your own risk.
Had a little editing error at 11:47. Thought I pulled it out. Oh well. It happens. At least I know you’re watching. 😂
Cleveland Terry dude.... 😂 that’s really insignificant compared to the jewels 💎 thanks for sharing the knowledge! You, DJ Tech Tips and Mojaxx keep me fed😋

Yes it's frustrating seeing others play without any issues. I'm happy for them but 😒
What if you do have a PPL, is there a way to let youtube know so your mix doesn't get taken down?
Instagram should start a service for Dj’s who want to stream live where we could pay a monthly fee to cover copyrights maybe 10 or 20 a month
Good idea!

SubsBSC interesting, i can try that
I’m a House and Trance Dj and found your video very helpful it is exactly what I’ve found to be the case too. I now keep my mixes to just under an hour and use effects with plenty of actual creative mixing where it’s appropriate. I keep it simple just using my iPhone with good lighting however, I’ve found the most important thing is the sound quality. People have commented on that the most since I started using an I-rig Stream.
@ClevelandTerry, well said 👍
Be Creative & not play full songs is spot on.

This how on Instagram they gave me a chance to dispute it. They released it no problem hope this can help.
You can always dispute it after the fact, but it doesn’t change the fact that the your stream goes down
Great overall honest advice. The core of these suggestions only truly apply to Top 40/Commercial music spinning DJs
If you're House/Dance music style DJ like myself, playing fast and mixing in and out with the new-school A.D.D. approach doesn't fit the esthetic of the genre I and my peers reside in
Best explanation I have heard so far! I went two hours with no issue by doing exactly what you stated. Mix quick, add effects, change tempo and even changing the key.... super appreciate you sharing!
Great video as always man! How many seconds u recommend to play on each song?
Great follow up video. Excellent advice. Practical, relevant and of utmost importance for a successful live stream. 💯👍🏾
Im gonna try twitch in a couple of weeks to see how it is. So far I've done youtubelive and my vids are still up even though they got claimed, they aren't muted. So i continue to entertain my people even in this calamity we're facing. Gotta show them that the DJ game is still on and stronger than ever.
DJ Founten same here. But it sucks as I purchased the dammed music.
Twitch is the way to go. Non of Facebook or UA-cam bullcrap. Ive gone for hours with my mixes and videos. Not one time did i get booted.
"I've been kicked off for playing Black Eyed Peas." - I mean the punishment fit the crime. j/k. Very informative video!
Lol. You’re not wrong.
kicked me off for playing 1960s music
Thanks for this!
How long per song? What’s your “fly through”
Thanks for this. It’s 💯Spot on!! Quick mixing, mashups and quick remixing seem to works best for me as well. I recently streamed and got the notification that there may be copyright issues. I quickly dropped another beat over the track playing and was able to play with no further issue. Thanks for all you do for the community 🤟
my guy! This is so so helpful, thank you! I'm streaming for the first time this Saturday and I usually mix in a few mainstream hip hop songs, but I mix fast and use effects, as well as bpm changes and some other stuff...once again thank you and keep putting out content
How long would you say you can play a song before mixing or adding effects?
Another great video man. Thanks. Definitely seems like specific artists are "no-goes" anything new in charts or pop is instant flag.
How long are you letting songs play before mixing out? Can you get away with letting a song play for 2-3 mins, or are you mixing songs faster than that? Very helpful video, thanks for posting!
Thank You so much Cleveland Terry! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for so long, because I was worried about getting booted!!! Appreciate it
Great video. Only two questions. What does it exactly mean ,,flying through music,, from your perspective? Are we talking like about 30 seconds per one song? Second question. Have you ever also tried to play remixes created by random djs/producers so the algorithm would possibly have no clue? 🤷
Nice video! Could you please share the camera you used for this video? The video looks super clear and hi-fi. Thanks!!
To ensure not getting muted or booted, approximately how long should each track be played for, before switching to a new track?
Cleveland this is what I needed to hear thanks brother. I was on you a few weeks back about VDJ vs Serato and at the end of the day I'm comfortable with what I use and I hope you are to. Thanks for the tips on live streaming.
All my friends have been having good luck with underground electronic, and not getting booted. Guess it's the nature of the beast, play music from labels who can't afford to go after you and you'll never get kicked
Always sharing the knowledge. Nice. Thanks for the rundown.
Great insight! I just subscribed. Thanks so much for breaking it down for us, Terry!
Perfect! I definitely needed to hear this one. if I get kicked off not to get back on and do quicker mixes ...That is solid advise!! Thanks again
One of the best explanation ever, I’ve been telling a lot of my Dj friends this and they don’t listen. Glad to see someone else who gets it. We stream on several sites at once with restream and UA-cam and Facebook are always the first ones that kick us off, twitch has been the only stream we don’t get kicked off. We just make sure to download and delete our videos. Great video man, absolutely great.
Man, first time on your channel. Very good tips. Keep up with the great work!
@Cleveland Terry where did you get those background radio prints?
Love your tutorials, they are spot on, ive been live stream djing for a while, i will def use your tips, peace
Definitely needed this vid it's been a hassle for me going live
Subscribed just for how informative it is. Thanks!
I appreciate your Live Internet DJ info videos. Thanks! Otherwise, I am glad to mention that I have averaged 2 hour sets plenty of times because of the good habits that you've mentioned. Plus! My longest session on Facebook was 7 hours and 5 minutes. Stay in the mix!
Hooooow?
Very informative. Thanks. I am a vinyl DJ since 1979 and became seriously interested in rejoining the ranks. I am price checking and comparing options on equipment. I appreciate this video but what comes to mind is didn't D-Nice during his quarantine broadcasts get flagged? And if you broadcast live on IG, they people that are watching just hear your set through the phone's mic? Is there an internal connection? I have neighbors. I wouldn't want to crank up music too loud just so my IG broadcast is heard. How do you handle that?
DNice has additional approval but they are using their sound card. Check my video here. ua-cam.com/video/uSHUYQNjtno/v-deo.html
Nice advice cheers! Recently using mixcloud live though it's early days what do folks think of that?
so, If you build a playlist using Shazam and it does not detect it, would that be a rule to use for playing in your stream :) If is not played on mainstream radio and more underground, it doesn't get detected as much.
I do have method that works 99% of the time, and I play all genres, and a lot of old school.. I typically do 2-4 hrs on my facebook live.. I can play music quickly or long..Working on a tutorial now
That's cool Blake. I wish my sets would last that long. I do the same mostly old school and freestyle seem to last longer. Looking forward to your tutorial.
Where is the Tutorial? :(
Haven't read every comment here, but only saw one mention of PERISCOPE. Everyone keeps touting Twitch, but Periscope is just as capable, maybe even more capable with features like guest call in, auto post to Twitter, keeps playing in background on iOS and NO TAKEDOWNS. Not to mention ability to receive pro streams via rtsp. The only problem with Periscope is it's not where the herd is grazing!
Very insightful and glad you broke it down I'll pass this on to my fellow DJs thank you bro
I’ve been Djing on FB for 4 hours straight... with no problems! Many times! But lately FB has been tighten up! Kicked me out 2X in my last set!
Thanks for all your kool vids! I am an old school Dj and I have been having cabin fever so I’ve been playing on Facebook live. I like to play old Hip Hop Demos and old original releases that never made it to radio and mainstream. My concern is that some of these “Demos” never cleared their samples. Would these get flagged? Most of what I have and play I’ve either produced,co-produced, mixed, co-mixed, engineered, recorded(in my studio), did scratches on, or I know who the producer/artist is personally. I also play old school beats that have uncleared samples in them. Any thoughts to help my show out?
Thanks a lot Cleveland, I was looking for this answer for a long, because the cut happened during my live
Hey Cleve, have you got any thoughts on Mixcloud? I have been rather venturing into deeper sounds with hip hop and I haven’t been blocked at all. I think with the streams, we shouldn’t be focusing on commercial tracks, try remixes
This is very helpful. My last set i played my songs too long (which i normally dont do), only because i was buying time for more people to join. But typically i have a 1 to 2 hook rule before i mix in new song
What if you delete the videos from UA-cam and Facebook
Appreciate you always sharing your wisdom, man. I've learned a lot!
Do you think that playing the original song with a different pitch and then mixing with another track could avoid getting flagged also? I think in youtube there are some people that do that, change the pitch so they don’t get a strike, especially in some beat samples, but I don’t know if it could help in ig live while mixing
Really thoughtful topics Terry. Enjoying the content, 2 Thumbs up!
Word brother, thank you for all the tips, my findings are very similar. Stay strong everyone!
very helpful as always. you said to whip through your tracks. about how long do you play each record? i'm thinking 60 songs per hour? this would be helpful
Fly through songs! I hear ya! Thanks Terry.
Hey Cleveland Terry. Thanks for the info! I was wondering if you happen to know the best way to collaborate with other DJ's on the same channel. I'm organizing some live stream "parties" and trying to figure out the best way to have someone come on your channel to DJ and the transition to be seamless. Any help is greatly appreciated.
medium.com/@k/how-to-live-stream-dj-sets-on-twitch-81401a99cf1f - if you can deal with the crap of Zoom, it's a way, but Zoom audio sucks. Seems like best way is /host, /raid or 'allow others to stream' options. I thought about getting each DJ to call me on Zoom, then put that in OBS with visuals etc. But Zoom costs money apparently if longer than 40 minute meeting or more than 3 people. If keep the sets under 40 minutes, can do it with zoom into OBS I guess. Then you can be 'master stream' machine and add overlays, visuals, logos etc. Otherwise you need to get each act to do the visuals in their own OBS etc
that was a great show you did for us today, much appreciated. please do it again.
Snapple facts.....I did a quick Saturday morning mix on IG 2 weeks ago. As soon as Jay-Z got into his verse on "H to the izzo".....my live was suspended immediately. I changed the song and went back in for roughly 2 minutes and left on my own.
I've come to realize that these copyright flags happens with a lot of big old school tunes & newer popular songs. And yes, keep the spin of the songs short. Less than 1min/20sec is best: Hook-verse-hook-transition...
#DJLife #StruggleIsReal
Thanks for the info! I find if I search a song on UA-cam and there are multiple posts of the same song and it's been up for a long period of time, you should be good with. Most of the time. Also, remixes help too. Like the old stuff from my DJ days, DiscoTech, Hot Tracks, Ultimix, etc. Again, usually. I had a two part video from Geauga Lake amusement parks last day on UA-cam. Part one I had Cafe Del Mar and part two was Madonnas - this used to be my playground. Madonna was muted right away. Cafe Del Mar was up for 10 years and it just got muted. So you're right, no concrete answers. Are you in Cleveland?
When you say "speed through" are we talking 30 secs/song, 15 secs/song, starting in the middle of songs, etc?
this is a thorn in my side and something i have repeatedly spoken about online. djs are being treated like some sort of 90's bootleger or a pariah of society. lets b real, we break records, we keep so many artists alive and eating cos we are playing their records and yet the thanks we get is black out and mutes!!!
facebook seems to operate differently to the other platforms. i been streaming and uploading for years and they are the most copyright unfriendly platform. WHen i speak to other dj friends worldwide, that is by far the worse perpetrator of crimes against djs...!!! they will even block me playing my own music. block first , u have to object and then they may release. the worst case scenario with playing your own music is that u would have to get the distributor to white list you with fb!
youtube seem to b fine with nearly everything. the copyright owner will claim his song but its very unlikely u will b muted. it just means u cannot monetise the mix or at least that song.
twitch seem to b fine with everything at the moment
IG give u about 1 hour stream. if u r getting a lot of viewers, like d nice then perhaps tha tis extended. remember even dj khalid who has x million followers only gets around 4/5/6k live views at any one time.
mixcloud - r fully licensed for all music and r the only platform espcially dedicated to music dj miixes and streams. no blocks, strikes, mutes, lock outs...
now saying all of that there r some artists which i seem to have prolems with - prince, - they will strike anything. maybe cos some of m mixes get millions of plays its happening but u cant play any prince. u may get away with it in live but for playback im prettty sure they will cut it. jay z is another. maybe if u beat juggle or jus drop 30 seconds but i hav ehad issues with playing any of his catalogue.
素晴らしい内容です！！ really appreciate your video!! I will work on it and try that!! Personally my fav line was "throw some things into the mix that are specific to you!" great WORD!!
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a beginner DJ myself who is still trying to promote my skills with mixing and have recent uploading some of my mixing to UA-cam and Instagram. In one of my uploads, I was beat mixing with some current pop dance tracks and my video was blocked on Instagram. I think I may need to up the tempo a bit on the tracks in question that I share myself mixing, as well as use slightly smaller segments of the songs.
Nice hint 👌🏿 I do almost the same thing, I’ve done live-streaming on Facebook 3x for about 2hrs without any flagging because I search for old music, I don’t play them for too long & I do some mixing tricks to confuse the algorithm....
@CT Do you not have a performance license as a DJ? I'm not sure it helps with broadcasting as this may requires a broadcasting license. However, having a DJ license helps lifting the ban. ...... Sometimes. The problem of international listeners is an issue but I have contacted labels who have flagged me and explained I pay for performing rights. Some withdraw some don't. This was years ago before every man and his dog was online playing sets. I'm itching to get back to streaming and I'm wondering how it'll go.
Cleveland Terry, when we stream here in trinidad we simply put "I do not own the rights to the music, for critic & entertainment purposes".. IG, FB & YT, runs for 90 mins least most times...
Also, genius idea on the layering.
shared on facebook - half my feed is DJs saying watch my stream... the other half is DJs moaning they keep getting kicked off lolol, respect
Cleveland Terry, Where did you get your turntables from?
Hey Terry like ur message been and Dj for quite a while and I can't stop teaching and mentioning this to my fellow DJs stream’urs I'm at the islands in St. Martin in a definitely going to use your video and posted back on my Facebook page with your permission, thanks
Like your contains, stay safe
Hi, nice to meet you. a question! why some djs (Sinclar, Vega, sanchez, etc.) are not blocked with their live streamnig sessions?
Hey man... thanks for the video. I had a claim on my set yesterday on UA-cam and I purposely edited the video with the last track (one with the claim) after that and then it was fine. So if the song is played shorter like maybe 1st verse and chorus and mix, it’ll be ok?
What do you think about underground house? Or promo's as they are not main stream .
Great Video, how many minutes can you mix per minutes to switch how to mix, thanks in advance
One trick to mix faster I'd say using hot cues specially in EDM tracks to skip from Drop 1 to drop 2 and outro... using effects and remixes instead of originals also help out and not playing exactly in the tone so boost or decreaze a little the bpm with master tempo off (forget about mixing in key for obvious reasons)
So for DJs like Diplo, who's live streaming every night on IG, does copyright detection just get turned off for them?
Pretty much.
@@ClevelandTerry Is that just speculation or is there an actual method they use to "whitelist" their accounts?
DJCJ there are tons of ways you can be “whitelisted” Labels can whitelist, you can buy a mechanical license to broadcasts but that’s super expensive. It’s all about who you know or how much money you have.
@@ClevelandTerry Ah never knew. Good to know man. Ty for the dope video as well.
Cleveland Terry wowwww. So even during this pandemic’s “leveling of the playing field”, it ain’t level. ffs.
Twitch is a good way to stream live without problems? It could be useful an article based on this theme, and if it works and you share the live set on facebook, then facebook still stops your stream altough it s not native live?
Hate to be the one to bring it up but.... how does D-nice stay on Instagram week after week for 4-6 hours at a time and never seems to get kicked off. Does he have some kind of special clearance or something?
He’s got approval from the labels.
I totally agree I’ve been watching a lot of my dj Friends getting kicked off left and right and i was like damn, it has to be way so somewhat go around it. And what you mention makes a lot of sense to do some blends with a cappella and a different beat, and get it songs faster lol.. I like that thanks for this info!
Speed up your mixes/songs. Makes so much sense
Yeah, I've tried old stuff and it doesn't seem to matter. Went back to 1993-1999 trance/techno and did fast mixing and got muted or kicked fast. Went back to 1980's Chicago house and got booted within a few bars of French Kiss. Changed speeds, layered, added loops, tried remixes, doesn't matter. I think they have improved the bots ability to spot what is being played.
'STOP PLAYING WHOLE SONGS'
so true! you're not an mp3 player, you're a DJ, so jock those disks brotha!
I think one way to prevent the kick off is to not play songs that mention the name of the song. For example I was playing Forever Lost of Teebee and FB muted that section. But that part song mentions the name like 20 times. Thanks for the videos Terry.
Amazing 😉 thanks I’ll give it a try . Regards from Vienna and stay safe
I heard that turning on the flanger or reverb works
Heard the same. I've watched it work for one of my crew.
4 hour sets sometimes!!!!
If somebody is doing a one-off event and live-streaming on UA-cam and NOT monetizing the video/performance, will UA-cam kill the session immediately or just send you a notice after the fact?
Way 2 go, I like everything that you were saying & mostly the way that you do that, totally understandable! Thank you!
Thanks man....appreciate your advice....good advice.....especially with playing entire songs...
What’s the longest you think you can play an original track with out getting kicked out? What’s the longest each had to be played
Very good video. I play mostly 80s, 90s, early 2000s music but when I switch to newer songs I have gotten flagged within the first 30 seconds of the song.(i.e Strike a pose by young T). Out of the older songs i've only had issues with Usher - Yeah! and butterfly from crazy town. I've also noticed when i play 4 decks and mask the beat of a different song in a different key (i.e two 100 bpm songs being mixed with a third track on a 8 bar loop) certain songs that get flagged passes through.Its really a hit and a miss IMO but worked for me. Playing a track for long is the enemy.
I would like to add to that Cleveland Terry I'm a House/Techno DJ and I enjoy playing long blends in my sets. Also, you would play tracks that have been edited, remixed, reworked, dubbed. They are not the original songs so it shouldn't be spotted and you won't hit with a strike. I run 2 online radio shows using 2 main online radio station platforms. When you play under their umbrella, you are part of their radio platform. That means you under where guidelines they have to allow you to play a full set. I was part of a Virtual Music Fest with 23 other DJs. I and my DJ partner played for nearly 2 and a half hours with no issue. We Livestream on Twitch. Cleveland Terry is correct. There is a workaround. I know 2 many DJs/Producers played their sets with no issue on FB, IG, UA-cam, and Twitch. I have a Twitch account and plan to start my solo show this Sunday.
Playing a small portion of a song does not definitively help you. Content ID creates a fingerprint of the entire song. There is no real rhyme to reason, but as an example, I have sampled a small portion of songs in my artist releases and on occasion it gets flagged. I submit my proof of clearance and it works itself out. Some of my remixes are not flagged, while others are. Neilsen has the same type of ID system for artist to get BDS detections which result in the airplay numbers found in Billboard. Sometimes even those numbers get flubbed because we mixshow DJs overlap, remix, scratch and trick out music which results in music not being detected properly. Ultimately I started my own digital radio station and paid the publishing societies for the right to play on my platform. Anything else is at your own risk.
