Now what about using Serato on a Steam Deck? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BLW-NdjoqhQ.html

Can Macbook Air work perfectly fine with Serato DJ Pro for 4 hours set under a hot weather?

@PCC_ Год назад

I have a 2020 M1 Air and it can literally do it all. Haven't had any issues with it. I can have blender and other powerful softwares active at the same time and it will not have any issues. M1 can definitely handle a DJ software if you're looking to save money.

@rpmbxdj Год назад

Great video and information Pri. I am one of those old guys still using Serato DJ Pro with my 2012 MBP with OSX Capitan lol. I am thinking that its time for an upgradeat this point but I do love having the extra space on a SSD. I currently upgraded my RAM to 16GB and a 1 TB SSD and i basically use it to DJ not much else. The only reason im thinking of upgrading is because i cant upgrade my OSX thus I cant update my Serato either. It has been working flawlessly whenever im at a gig so it makes it somewhat hard to justify the cost of a newer one but im defintely gratfeul for this video and your input. Rock on brother!

@djyamix3095 Год назад

Good review. I like the following 1) I like your reasoning for the cheaper option, drink spills! 2) Appreciate you breaking down when to purchase a laptop due to incompatibility with macOS right now. One area you might want to consider a larger hard drive is for those who use videos to DJ. Video take up much more space than mp3.

@Panslapper 11 месяцев назад

I ran a test with Macpaw using Rekordbox, Serato, and Algoriddim DJ to see how much ram each platform used on my MacBook Air M2. The most efficient using the least ram was Algoriddim DJ but not by much. On average each platform used around 3.60gb ram while no other apps running on the Mac. This was just basic DJing without using Stems. With Stems I would say at this point that 8gb should be enough ram with the M1/M2 Macbook series. Running Stems might use a little more ram but I cannot see it using more than 2 maybe 3gb extra but I couldn’t test using Stems at the time so I don’t know for sure.

@PhiMobileSounds Год назад

This just confirms that 1 hour I spent in the Apple Store trying to understand whether to get a M1 or M2. Switching to the ARM architecture is the piece that was throwing me off seeing that I am on an Intel MBP. Looking at the new specs of the Apple Silicone laptops just was not Apples to Apples any longer.

@DanielleKingdjdinosaur Год назад

i have an old eight core Intel Macbook pro .Its about three or four years old and so far as long as i keep it in good order ,meaning clean fans etc i seem to able to do all the things i want to including live stems while mixing video.I have not done live stems while broadcasting yet and i do have the help of a newer smaller Mac to handle OBS but its amazing what i can do when everything is clean and working.I am not sure if i will get the m2 or wait for the m3 because at some point i would like to be able to do all of the above using one computer.Ideally that would be a Mac but i will keep an eye on the gaming computers as well.

@djmarky1120 Год назад

Great vid! Thank you for all the content. Just wanted to know how your m1 Macbook Air (or anyone else who has one here) is doing lately. I am using serato on a Macbook Air M1 on a DDJ Rev 7 controller. I updated to the latest version of serato. Even before the update, I noticed my echo effect freezing during mixes, especially when I mixed with the smoothing button option. But after the latest update, I had a horrible experience at my gig, besides the freezing echo effect where I had to stop mixing and turn off my system, my music started clipping, and one side of my jog wheels the bpm was doubled. I am sure I did not touch any settings by accident. I am wondering if this is a issue with my macbook air m1/rev 7/serato update. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully before my next gig lol.

Great video I’m leaning towards having a very large digital music library, since you can’t take everything with you would it be best to get a medium priced Mac for portability and get a juiced up desktop OR just fork up the $$$ for the 14 or 16 MBpro. I’m venturing out into the mobile dj world and I want to make the best investment for my business and my library. Thanks for all your hard work I really appreciate it…

Amazing video!!! Thanks a lot Do you have any video where can I find more info about “database/library/.XMLs / and how to transfers My hot cues and metadata “ That’s will be really helpful. Thank you

@priyonjoni Год назад

In Serato, a lot of the meta data is store in the Serato library folder. If you use an external, it’s the folder created that shows on the top of your directly. Whenever I copy new music to my backup drive, I also copy the serato folder. And it mirrors my original drive.

@DJKrowbarKE Год назад

When you mentioned HDMI my eyes opened up thinking you will tackle DJs who mix videos either using Mix Emergency or Serato Video with stems. Cause I have a feeling that might dig into the processing power and which Mac will be ideal for that. Also, for DJs who want to mix audios and stream at the same time using that same Mac what would be the best option. (even DJs who want to mix videos and stream at the same time using the same Mac what is the best Mac for that. In closing, champ! Great insight really enjoyed this video. Cause I am now digging deep into which Mac to buy and hit the sweet spot instead of over kill. Keep well.

@priyonjoni Год назад

Generally, I always recommend 2 computers when DJing and streaming because I think it's too many eggs in one basket to run from a single laptop, even if it's powerful. But if you insist on running one laptop, I would recommend the 14" and 16" MacBook Pro. If you're running DJ gear AND capture cards, as well as DJ software on top of OBS, you will need a decent amount of ports as well as power with good cooling (because the Pro models have fans) for sustaining loads. It's not to say the MacBook Airs cannot handle it, but the MacBook Pro is better suited for the task. If you're wondering whether the dedicated graphics matter, I'm under the knowledge that OBS on Mac does not (yet) run from the dedicated graphics. What will be more important is having sufficient RAM which I then will say, 32GB would make sense.

@mariolopes2365 Год назад

Im still on my MBP late 2013 and Im starting to have audio drops and glitches running Serato, I always had some trouble with serato so a new Macbook Air will be better than my old MBP but atm i think I prefer invest in a controller with built in software like an RX3 as dont like much to Dj with a laptop and I can still use my old mac just to manage the music, I will keep going till it dies lol

@djsteel3000 Год назад

Hello, which Matebook pro X did you get? i have the 2020 version and it cannot process stems real time in high quality . So i am thinking to get a Macbook pro M1 pro unless you have figured out some settings that i can change to help the Huawei create stems in real time

@DJkleptic Год назад

I feel that if your planing on djing for the next 5 to 10 years there is nothing wrong with overkill. Mac book pro's really last Im still using my 2011 that I upgraded to a 2tb ssd and 16 gigs of ram I have a huge music library that I like having on my comp so I don't having to worry about a external drive. Planing on copping a 14in m2 next year any enjoying it for the next decade. Also apple lets to purchase apple care as a subscription now witch is great.

My previous is the trusty 15" 2012 MBP 16gb ram, & 4TB ssd (Brick & Beast) is a workhorse. Today my 2020 M1 MBP beach ball of death & crashed again.. it's unacceptable 😤 so I just ordered a 14" MBP 16gb ram & 4TB ssd since I dj music videos. I hope and pray this is the next dependable workhorse (dongle & external free) for the next decade! Hope to VJ, & Livestream & record from it.

@djstretchtone9851 Год назад

Pri yon Joni Excellent video as always from you. I am purchasing a MacBook. If I go for a 2 TB drive the price goes way up. It always seems when all the music is on the laptop it works best. I know a lot of people think 2 Terabytes is overkill - but I need the space for a huge variety of genres...without having to stream. Plus music portability. I've tried other DJ softwares. I've had a hard time getting an external drive to work smoothly. I get so frustrated with duplicates Dropbox on off pause etc lol. My windows external drive was NTFS, exfat never did work for me. If I use Serato what external drive is most recommended - for the easiest most stable way to get the FAT32 file format and so forth? With my Xdj Rx3 & Rekord box, I had to download a format tool to make my windows external drives Fat32. I always hear MacBook is plug and play? Thanks

@priyonjoni Год назад

For my external, I switch between an SD card and a Samsung T5 SSD. I actually recently purchased a 2TB SSD to use for pre-rendering stems. With that said, I actually don’t use exFAT or FAT32; rather I use HFS+ aka macOS journaled. I have found this file format to be most stable for two reasons: 1. Least likely to get corrupted if accidentally unplugged. 2. Fastest recovery after being unplugged. (FAT formats can take 5-15 minutes before you can use it, which is unacceptable at a gig). HFS+ is instant. I also have a utility so my Windows PCs can read HFS+. You’re right, 2TB internal is not overkill for a library. I was not referring to the capacity, but more referring to the power of beefing up the CPU, GPU and RAM. But with that said, it only takes less $200 for 2TB external while it can be way more to upgrade the internal. At the end of the day, these are the options. The choice lies in what works best for you.

@velanche Год назад

This is. good overall primer for DJ software. But as an owner of an M1 MacBook Pro, I will say that sometimes it's more than money that should make a dimfrencce, especially if you are making money as a DJ, and you could also write off your laptop if you are doing so. For instance, are you plannignto do much more than DJing on the laptop? Can you see yourself future-proofing and holding onto your laptop for a long time, and maybe as long as that 2012 model? Do you really wanna deal with dongles and external drives? I dealt with them, and I knew that when I upgraded, I'd definitely pay for the convenience of that extra storage, the extra internal memory, those ports. I realize that not everyone is gonna be able to afford that out of the gate, but again if you are planning to make money off of DJing, the short-term pain of paying a few hundred dollars extra might well be worth the convenience in the long run. And if you are worried about spills on that laptop, that's why you should also make sure you have insurance to cover that. Just my own perspective, as a DJ. Again, good overview and thank you!

@priyonjoni Год назад

Just responding to the point that “spending a little extra matters when you’re making money” from the computer. The other thing to consider is how easy you can replace the machine if and when an issue happens.

@velanche Год назад

@@priyonjoni True that. Not gonna lie, the Air is so robust for DJ software now, as opposed to what it used to be, that if one wants to upgrade later, it is a cheap option, in as much as budget controllers can do a pro job until one's ready to step up. Good perspective to bear in mind from ya.

@IndieDJ Год назад

I think as a DJ you need a model with a MagSafe charging port. Having to use a USB to charge not only takes up one of the USB ports, but it can also be pretty dangerous when gigging. You would hate to have someone in a crowded booth trip on that cable and knock your computer right off the stand. A MagSafe cable would safely disconnect with no harm done, since it’s connected via magnet and all. Just a little something to keep in mind.

@priyonjoni Год назад

Your USB cable to the controller or mixer isn’t MagSafe. What’s to say that doesn’t get disconnected if someone trips on your gear?

@priyonjoni Год назад

I use Samsung cards

@MakingMadBeats Год назад

May I ask which SD card you are using to run your Serato Library on? I used a Sandisk Ultra A1 Class 10 mircoSD Card with a Nifty Drive adapter in the past on my MacBook Air 13" Early 2015, i5, 8G RAM. Wasn' t satisfied with the performance, seemed very slow... So, how smooth does your SD card run with your current MacBook? Thx 🙏

@priyonjoni Год назад

I like Samsung and San Disk brands that are U3 rated.

@MakingMadBeats Год назад

@@priyonjoni Allright, thx! What about this specific model: SanDisk Extreme A2 U3 V30 190 MB/s microSD microSDXC 512GB ? THX

What’s the recommended amount of RAM to obtain a MacBook Pro or air for stems? I’m looking to purchase Serato studio for mashups.

@priyonjoni Год назад

It’s listed on Serato’s website.

@cyphahbanne6312 11 месяцев назад

I know you use. Serato but please talk about the 16gb ram needed for Rekordbox stems

@priyonjoni 11 месяцев назад

Both work fine for me with 8GB on my M1

Thanks for the video! Hey Bro , quick question. So I’m on a budget right now. If I was to purchase a 2012 MAC Book Pro will I be able to use Rekordbox Software on it today and for the upcoming new year 2024 ? I don’t want to by a refurbished laptop that I can’t use with certain DJ Software.

@priyonjoni 8 месяцев назад

No it will not work on an 11 year old MacBook. Save your money and get an M1. The MacBook Air you see me use on videos can go down as low as $800 brand new.

@djextrodinare9495 8 месяцев назад

@@priyonjoni Yes Sir , this is what I will do definitely 💯 # !

@djrez2107 Год назад

M1 is plenty powerful and its the better buy IMO

@growingtentacles Год назад

How does the processor temperature behave with rekordbox on an M1 or M2? I have a 2012 MACBOOK pro and the fans go to the maximum every time i use rekordbox.

@priyonjoni Год назад

The new MacBook Airs don’t have fans.

After upgrading to the FLX10 specifecly for stems sepratation function Rekordbox updated their minimum requiremtns to 16 GB of RAM even for Macs, so we need now a upgrade the laptop as well lol

@priyonjoni Год назад

I use an 8GB Air M1 with no issues

@louaysaad9072 Год назад

The problem is my Rekordbox crashed on me twice while on gigs for unknown fatal error while I was using 8Gb of ram on Dell xps laptop, I opened ticket with Rekordbox to analyze the dump file for this crash and let me know the root cause, but all what they did is to tell me that my laptop doesn’t meet the minimum requirements so any unexpected error may occur and thus I have to turn off stems function or upgrade to 16gb. Also, at the time they introduced the stems function their requirement was still 8Gb then they have updated that recently to 16Gb. After I watched your video that any Mac model should work I sent also enquiry to ask if this 16Gb requirement also apply for Macs whether M1, M2 or intel and they confirmed the same.

@priyonjoni Год назад

RAM on Windows is not the same as RAM on a Mac. Both operating systems have differences in how they use RAM. Which is why sometimes, a Mac may be listed to require less RAM than a PC for the same software program. If you feel you need 16GB, then go for it. But just letting you know, I use real time stem rendering on a MacBook Air M1 with 8GB on every video I used stems in so far. Never had a crash, including during gigs.

Hi, anyone knows if ddj200 works with MacBook Pro 2010 with high Sierra? Just trying things then will upgrade with cdjs but not sure if this setup will work.

@priyonjoni Год назад

The DDJ-200 runs on rekordbox 6, which will not work on a 13 year old MacBook Pro.

@mangadolo 5 месяцев назад

Anyone feel the need to have higher refresh rate like 120Hz to reduce eye fatigue? Or is a basic 60Hz rate ok as the Serato waveforms travel across the screen for hours?

@priyonjoni 5 месяцев назад

Few DJ gear with displays are even 60hz. Many are 30hz with some as low as 20hz. 60hz is plenty for waveforms. If you are getting eye fatigue looking at waveforms with 60hz, perhaps I suggest not staring at the screen the whole time while DJing.

@feature25 9 месяцев назад

Ignore my comment on other video. Why do you use a SD card instead of an external SSD?

@priyonjoni 9 месяцев назад

Because an external SSD has two points of potential failure. The port on the SSD and the port on the USB. When you have to use a dongle hub, those points of failure are doubled. With an SD card, you reduce two points of failure to one connection. And an SD card reader is more secure and unlikely to get pulled out. There is no performance advantage or disadvantage when playing music. It’s just a smaller, compact, and more secure storage device.
