      Let's goooooooo
      Your music is ON the mac I assume ?
      Very easy,
      I'd personally recommend getting another external drive if you don't have one,
      Just to BACK UP everything.
      Copy the music from the folder to the hard drive,
      Copy the crates back up from computer to backup,
      Copy the files from backup,
      To the exact same folder location on the new mac,
      Will open like nothing has changed !
      File path must be identical tho,
      If it's in my music on the old computer or whatever,
      Ensure it's in the same place on the new computer
      And you'll have nonproblems

Thanks. yeah, thats one thing, but I'm transferring from an OS thats 12 year old, and have been DJing a long time, so I have a handful of variables. isn't I didnt wanna do any conversions to use migration assistant either, because of the chances of transferring over old issues to my new computer. But I was able to pinpoint a couple things. So I deleted and am starting over. Wish me luck

    👋Hi 👋
    You have very Informative videos keep them coming😎
    I have a question? Im not paying for serato because i have the denon prime 4 & just got the s11 mixer in which both unlocks serato dj pro for the most part. Now, my question is if you go to a club which had cdj 3000 & a v10 mixer or even cdj 2000 with the 4 channel pioneer mixer do you need to purchase serato dj pro to be able to use the equipment in hid mode or can you be able to plug & play but of course downloading the drivers needed, i guess?
    Thanks.

      Let's gooooo !!! First off THANK YOU !
      ya that's a really good question
      You MIGHT need the club kit
      I actually ran into this problem recently where I didn't have it so I just brought my rev7
      If it needs dvs, I think you need the kit
      As long as you have the s11 you're good serato wise,
      The control discs should work instead of hid tho no ?
      I don't use any dvs anymore so I can't really answer you're question sorry man
      When I used my rane72 with 12s tho it just worked
      No add-ons needed
      I don't have serato DJ pro, or the club kit
      So I don't know lol

      I don't really know what you mean by that
      But I'll try
      Like I have my external hard drive I work out of,
      It goes from my PC (UA-cam)
      To my MacBook pro (dj computer)
      It's just plug and play
      But I do have an idea about showing backup folders and how to properly backup so it can be moved

      Basically, it was time for me to upgrade my old 2010 MacBook to 2019 MacBook.
      I keep my music on my computer Internal drives. I loaded all music in my new MacBook along with the _serato_ & backup folders.
      Then I scanned for id scanned for relocated files but NONE of my crates pop up.
      And I’ve only come across two other videos that supposed to do it. But, when I repeat there steps its not working either.😔
