DeeJay SiBoogie

If a track I like fits in my set I’ll play it I tend to play Deep, Soulful and Tech House but I’ll drop a Dub step or Dancehall or anything that will spice it up and keep the floor moving. I bought tracks that were labelled as Tech House but to me sounded more like Dub Step or Soulful house that was more like Tech House. A lot of tracks will have mixes crossing over several genres. So I don’t really get hung up on genres I use long transitions and/or short samples and loops to make my own sound. The best DJ’s apprieciate all musical genres and will take what the need to make what they want.

Right now I’m on ERG Nu Music Traxx, but I’d like some more remixes. I’m getting a lot of radio edits. I love the videos I get from Promo Only. What’s their audio like? How does it compare to DJ City?

I guess I’m trying to decide whether to sign on with DJ City for audio, or upgrade to POOL Platinum.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Here a review I cam across

I went with the cheaper Beatunes which is similar to MixedInKey but also has a gain tool. TBH though if the file is low quality to start with it will always be low quality. I have a massive collection of music and anything below 256kbps is strictly for home use. However, the music you use will only ever be as good as the systems it plays out of, cheap soundcard, mixers, amps and speakers can make high quality music sound flat and lifeless.
It much better to start of with a good file so if you’re ripping from CD rip at the highest possible bit rate or use a music pool that offer high quality Mp3s or WAVs. Torrents are a definet no no for quality and the amount of “DJ’s(?)” that get music for them is shameful at 96kbps or 128kbps your reputation as a DJ who plays good sounding music is at risk. My moto is “If it’s worth playing it’s worth paying”
If you don’t have have to many poor quality files you could look at Sound Forge or Audacity to clean up the sound and increase the gain. It would mean working on each file individually but ti doesn’t touch the original file as you can save the reworked file as a new one. I use Audacity for my recording and as you looking for a tool to create Mashups Audacity is free

Try WhyBuyNew. However, you’ll probaly find you’d be better off selling it on Ebay or one of the free ads as you’ll get more for it.

I’ve just started using Zipdj and I can say I’m very pleased. The cost is reasonable for access to unlimited downloads. You can register and get a 7 day preview before commiting to a subscription, this allows you to browse the catalogue and listen to the tracks but not download. One thing I don’t like is that once you’ve subscribe you can only preview a part of the track which can be irriating as I sometimes want to hear the break or chorus. As it’s subscription to unlimited downloads there no point in members recording a track so I don’t see why they don’t allow the members to play the full track.

There’s no re-analyse option but you can re-scan your music, this should update the tag information in ITunes.

I think that relates to copyrighted material. I could be wrong. I know when I uploaded a mix I got an email within a few minutes telling me I had used copyrighted music, the mix is still up though.
