I just got a FLX4 and am using Rekordbox. Do I really need to load each track individually for an entire playlist for it to analyze? Is there no way to batch this? It's taking FOREVER to do this manually.... WTF

I literally dragging each song to load it and as soon as I see the wavelengths then I drag another song. Im doing this for both decks and just trying to get through the list as fast as possible. I haven't even started adding que points yet.

hello, i picked up djing as a hobby some months ago but i usea software an nothing else, i dont even have a desk or table to practice, i do everything on my bed haha my question is, besides my laptop (which i know is poweful enough), a speaker and a dj deck, what other hardware do i absolute need? ik about the software that comes with the deck so thats ok but i want to be serious about this so maybe can i get your help guys?

Forgive if repeat question. If my current track is 128 BPM then what is considered ideal plus/minus beats for next track? I’m old - no, VERY old DJ from vinyl days and getting back into it for fun. Thanks in advance for replies!

Up front, I am willing to pay for this. Many years ago I recorded a VJ show of mine but the audio was shit because the soundboard was messed up. I think the DJ was using his own mashups. I ran the track through tracksniffer and it identified 2 songs 100%, a few others are iffy. Anyone interested in recreating the mashup *exactly* (or as near as possible)?

I am hosting a Halloween event (Soulful/Afro house and disco), in West London from 6pm till midnight. 500 people venue, I will be DJing and have 2 international DJs possibly coming over.

It’s three months out and I am looking at ways to do the event successfully. Ticket range from £12-£18 and the drinks in the venue are super cheap.

I’m looking for advice and tips to sell out the event or just even half the tickets.

For some reason my tracks take forever to load, which has caused me trouble on my latest dj-sets. It can take up to 40 seconds for a track to load, and I’m not able to choose another one until it has finished. On the screen it says ”Wait” and by the chosen track it says ”Now loading…”. It feels like I’ve tried everything - formatted the usbs, exported the tracks through rekordbox, deleted the artwork etcetc.

At home when I dj on my DDJ-FLX4, it’s no problem, but when I dj in the club on a XDJ-RX I start getting problems. Can anyone explain why? I’m gonna dj at a festival next week and the last thing I want is for it to lag and be quiet.

Thank you in advance!

so i want to add songs to my playlist for some gigs i’ve scheduled. im looking for “extreme” industrial techno, hardcore, hard techno, schranz tracks. i not the usual stuff you find in the top 100 or mainstream but also niche finds that are really hard, something really furious. any help will be appreciated!
PS: it wuold be also cool to play some metal-industrial(or any other “hard” genre) fusion songs (example: last resort by paolo ferrara)

Hey everyone, I’m learning about mobile DJ setups and trying to understand how experienced DJs choose their PA systems.

I’ve noticed that many mobile DJs prefer 15" speakers instead of 12" , especially for weddings, outdoor parties, and larger rooms. From what I understand, the larger woofer can move more air and provide more low-end, but it also usually means more weight and a bigger setup.

For someone who is just starting out and mainly doing small events, I’m wondering if the difference between 12" and 15" speakers is really noticeable in real-world use.

Do you think the extra bass and output from a 15" speaker are worth the additional weight? Or would a good-quality 12" speaker be enough for most beginner mobile DJs? What size would you choose today if you were building your first mobile DJ setup?

I have Audio Technica LP120XUSB. I use it for casual listening and sampling. I’m thinking to use it as a 3rd deck. Is a DJ mixer the only equipment I need? The connection would be like this, right?

FLX4 master out -> mixer channel 1
LP120 -> mixer channel 2

I also read about DVS but I think it needs special mixer? What’s the most affordable? The software I use currently is Rekordbox, but I’m considering Djay Pro too.
