Nope. As a Producer, I can tell you now, that everyone who says not to use it is right. It messes with the phase of the track. Here's a REAL test. 1. Use a daw like Ableton or Audacity. 2. Load the before and after versions of the track. 3. Invert the phase of the after track. If nothing has changed, the sound WILL null (meaning you'll hear nothing but silence).
I use it. It was almost perfect for years. Lately I feel it has "missed" on a few tracks, just recently. The volumes were off and one was actually clipping at points (something I have never seen with this program). I wonder if they need to update their algorithm to keep pace with all the DAWs and effects. I would still recommend it though, great time saver.
Sorry Phil, Please take the time to read the answers that comes from music engineers or producers. I can tell you this, maybe in your whatever speakers it sounds louder but for sure not better. I suggest you contact real pro about that. Personally I remasterised songs for about 15 years from LP's (way before Spotify or any online music) Besides that, I always loved your video :-)
But if you run the before and after song through the same low quality speakers, of course, you won't hear the difference. Putting a modern song through this program is like putting ketchup on a perfectly seasoned steak. This program works well for mp3 and very old songs that have very poor recording quality.
I purchased this about 2 years ago after watching your recommended video but now I don't use it because ableton is better for this. Even the free Audacity is better. Don't waste your money!
My tracks I've put into platinum notes had lost their volume. I don't mean how loud but I mean like the overall feel. Take the intro to virtual riot pray for riddim. All that volume and sound of it just gets dull and loses its original sound it was meant to be.
In the early 90s that statement was true.But I can still dj exactly like on vinyl apart from scratching but that's just me I only like scratching on vinyl. The only difference is vinyl guy spent money on vinyl

Do you run the tracks thought Platinum Notes before importing into Rekordbox?
His mic recording hasn’t been run through platinum notes.

Thanks. I'll keep using trim knob
It would probably sound fine in your headset, but blasting out of huge speakers, you would probably tell the difference
100% que f m’y tracks go through PL. That is part of my routine and provides invaluable comfort afterwards
Here are the setting I use- can’t see the setting because camera is all over the place?
Never had a problem with PN. It's a personal preference. Though saves a ton on adjusting trim for sure.
If adjusting the trim is too much of a hassle for you while mixing quit DJing immediately.
Every single person that worries about audio quality is probably playing live on a huge speaker set. I just play for the cuties in VRChat.
Doesn't auto-gain fix this anyway?
Literally this 👍
So do you run the tracks through Platinum Notes before importing into rekordbox?
Yeah some tracks yes and some tracks no. Sometimes the softer tracks get pumped up too much.

I love platinum

One of the option in recordbox
I’m VERY curious about this as well. I don’t seem to ever quite be able to get all my levels right
How can you possibly do that without spending £98 to a/b test it?
Is it gonna throw off the cue points?
WWWWAAAAYYYYYY too expensive

What are you doing in Ableton or Audacity? Just Normalizing?

Too many bugs with it. Same with Mixed in Key. Seems like they've lost their way (I have the studio license)
Bro, that makes the music sound bad, try to play this at a concert and you’ll see the distortion
Just use the gain knob 🤷🏻♂️
I prefer Audacity.
I bought it to try it out and all it does it basically just lower the gain. Kind of destroys the energy of the song. Requesting a refund 😂
Gain 🤨
Good to know but Dj that do this are just lazy on my opinion
Good DJs don't need a laptop. #facts
is this sarcasm
You mean: vinyl dj's don't need a laptop
Yup, the #tag makes this legit.
In the early 90s that statement was true.But I can still dj exactly like on vinyl apart from scratching but that's just me I only like scratching on vinyl. The only difference is vinyl guy spent money on vinyl
just learn mastering and run the track into multiband compressor, equalizer, soft clipper, and limiter 🫠
