    Good video. Would love another vs between pools like Headliners, Clubkillers, etc.
    Would also have liked it if you mentioned both of their mobile apps, and that an advantage DJcity has, is their desktop app. Also, BPM goes months, sometimes close to a year without updating their curated playlists. Right now, their trending list top 40 songs hasn't added any new songs to it sings around June.
    Overall great stuff though. Good comparison.

    For me DJ city use to have the tunes before I'd heard them on the radio, now I'm hearing tunes on the radio and DJ city doesn't have them. The only problem I'm finding is I need a record pool that has all the RnB hip hop and UK stuff as well as the house side of things.

    • @djkarlthomas
      @djkarlthomas  3 роки тому +2

      💯 agreed mate, it just doesn’t have half the stuff it used to! Yeah and for sure, I feel it misses a lot across genres so you always have to top up elsewhere. I think that’s the same with most of these pools these days.

    Hi CT
    Im new to the channel
    1st video i watched was regarding the HD25 headphones
    I now have a pair on the way
    As for the BPM supreme
    When you say download does that mean i can put them on usb stick and keep the tracks ?
    I have a xdj xz so it a standalone system
    There for i use just a usb
    Thanks

    • @djkarlthomas

    Is there a website that provides the songs at the bpm you request it to be, as recorded from a vinyl record and not bpm-stretched from a .wav, .mp4, .aiff, ect. files which causes a great loss of sound quality as when you do it yourself beyond 3 bpms on your own computer's DAW?

    sorry this maybe a stupid question but I have never used a record pool and just bought downloads. Are the downloads encrypted in any way do they prevent you recording your dj set if they have tracks from either record pool?? also do the download tracks still work if you downloaded when you was subscribing but if you have cancelled your subscription or do they only work for the time you in in a subscription period??

    • @djkarlthomas

    • @djkarlthomas
      @djkarlthomas  3 роки тому +1

      To be honest- don’t be put off by the questions on BPM, they are all automated and not checked in depth by an actual person. I know quite a few beginner DJs that have it. Best thing to do is try a record pool and see if you like it. Each one will have slightly different music and suits people differently however they are not a one size fits all- you will have to top up your collection with tracks from elsewhere too. Best of luck!!

    I have some track from bpmsupreme that I downloaded I got told of because the audio was heavily compressed to the point where there's no dynamics have u had any issue with the track I'm trying to figure out what's going on I myself is a dj whan I played the track through 8-inch speakers there was no bass

    • @djkarlthomas
      @djkarlthomas  2 роки тому

      I have never had an issue with any record pool downloads. If you are djing on 8-inch speakers and have no subs I am not surprised that you didn’t have any bass. Speakers of that size are too small for a full range sound with rich bass.

      That’s a very specific ask…I would recommend buying individual tracks. Record pools usually cater for up to date/ current tracks. BPM supreme has some throwback stuff but you are looking for something very specific. Online record stores are your best bet. Not a pool.
