| Ressie Dilena 10.08.2012 | A friend of mine uses a track tag which is composed by 7 different colors. Each color represents a track mood (like more deep, more disco, more tech, more acid, etc..). I really tried to do the same and organize my tracks by genre, but when performig everything is different and it is easy to finds song with similar genres that just don |
| Ressie Dilena 10.08.2012 | Photojojo, I use Mixed in key currently and it really helps me. But I totaly disagree with the advantage of using BEAtunes. The color that it gives just don |

| Ressie Dilena 10.08.2012 | Hi everyone! Hope u doing great I |
| Leeanna Ayla 11.08.2012 | You can set your own mood color in beatunes. But let me clarify here, that I'm not a huge fan of beatunes for various other reasons. I believe you need to get rid of the idea of having the wave forms there to help you pick songs. All this time you're spending on that would be much better spent listening to and studying your music. |
| Germaine Bernadin 11.08.2012 | WTF.......... this is crazy shit. Just play the tracks ... Improvise...... I hardly ever mix the same track into each other........ i'm not slack... just been doing it a long time... and it is fun trying to get two tracks sitting in the mix... for sure the same genre .. in a club it can keep you on your toes a bit a good dj can mix anything in. I have mixed in front of 1,000 people using another djs records as he collapsed and I had to quickly fill in for the last half hour.. piss easy.... I had never seen half the tracks in his bag before...... it was so good I carried on for another hour..lol Twenty years ago I probably mixed the same few tracks into each other....... but I was learning then and we where creating the genres in the first place... so not a lot was produced of real quality....... plus we played dub plates of our own tracks so we knew what would work... In my colour spectrum display waveform in tractor some of the tracks are very pretty shades of pink, purples and crazy shit. I'm a mastering engineer........ this is mostly bollox to me what trakor does and it never... gets the gain function correct. I like the coloured waveform for two reasons it looks pretty and gives me acid flashbacks... |
| Celine Surico 11.08.2012 | In today's Young Punx video podcast they transitioned from Sting's 500+ old lute music recording to contemporary glitch house. I wish more DJs would be as daring. |
| Lauretta Ehrhorn 11.08.2012 | 200 tracks is just one crate mate. Play them and mix them over and over. Trust your ears and heart,not software analysis or tags as tunes should link to emotion and feeling at the time which is different on every occasion. If your ears can't tell or you can't pick a track to match the mood then maybe DJing isn't for you. Not being critical but I believe many DJs become distracted by all this extra stuff which impacts upon being spontaneous and creative. I'm sure others will disagree. |

| Celine Surico 10.08.2012 | I would not trust visual clues for track info for mixing. * Go through all the songs, mark the genre, bpm and especially energy level, from 1 (one star) sleepy to 5 (five stars) high-energy. If you do in-key mixing and don't have an ear for keys then mark the key, too. Then when you mix and have this info in the Traktor browser it's pretty easy to make ad hoc playlists. For example, start with lower bpm lower energy songs, at the highest peak of the evening, play the higher bpm and high energy tracks. Late-late at evening take it down to the lower energy ones, again. |
| Ressie Dilena 10.08.2012 | I understand gullum and I ve been hearing this opinion from many other djs. But sometimes is really hard (NASA level!!!) to hear and test combination between more than 200 tracks to build a set list. I am just looking for good softwares that could put me in a more accurate target. I mean, a program that could analyze my tracks and, if not able to indicate which tracks must match, at least could tell me which ones should not match!! Did I made my point clear so far? |
| Celine Surico 10.08.2012 | Basically the more you know songs the easier to make playlists ad hoc. Actually the more you play the easier to mix any song with any song. |
| Ressie Dilena 10.08.2012 | That |
| Eloy Kiepke 10.08.2012 | i was about to get cranky at these guys for not helping you out, as the first time i read it as that you wanted a vst that would give you colored waveforms to use in ableton or something.... But, if i understand this right, you're rebuilding your collection in another document by hand so that you can make playlists for traktor, without using traktor...? That's insane... |
| Ashanti Andreacchio 10.08.2012 | 200 tracks how hard can it be to sort them without NASA documenting them. Listen to them and get to know them if you don't know the songs you will need to listen to them anyway when making set lists. if 2 songs are in key C and BPM 128 and their spectrum are similar are no garantie they sound good together. 1 of them could have the bass on the beat and the other of beat witch would make the bass double as fast as each individual song. |
| Noble Check 10.08.2012 | Don't do this. There are much better things you could be doing with your music. Like... playing and learning the song so this whole part is irrelevant. If you want to classify them, just create your own terminology and use the comment field. It's much easier and quicker. |
| Leeanna Ayla 10.08.2012 | Mixed in key will tell you what key it's in. After that I add na energy number to the comment 2 field to help narrow down results. I've alsobneen playing with beatunes lately to add a color or mood to the tracks. |
| Brunilda Kora 10.08.2012 | This is not something that you should dedicate any more time to. There are a million better ways of sorting your tracks. |
