I love it man. I come up with sets and do prep right in my phone. Sometimes I’ll even practice my set on my phone. And now that they added Apple lol I’m not using anything else lol
The fluid Beat Gridding is seriously amazing, literal game changer for all us folks who love to mix none DAW produced Music where the BMP wanders all over the place.
Is there a way to turn it off though? I always press sync twice, just to get the BPM right, but to keep the freedome. Now with the fluid beat gridding it's changing BPM when the track is playing the same tempo. This messes up the ability to simply "double sync". Any idea how to turn this new ( for some people great) function off?
Thanks Carlos! The reality is that with all your knowledge of DJ techniques and software and your incredible teaching style, Algoriddim DJ should have hired YOU as their representative. Thanks again for all the that you do for the DJ community.
I am so mixed about all of the technology, being that I learned to mix on vinyl back in the 80s, 90s. The fluid beatgrid is amazing and I get why it's needed. Stems are also amazing. But the skillset to provide a good mix is disappearing. The technology is almost at the point where it can mix itself, and we just choose the music and activate a few settings. I'm not trying to be an old head glorifying the old days - but where is this all going in the future? The DJ market is already oversaturated. I enjoy what you do, and you are the best at making these videos.
Thank you for your honesty! These advancements are all tools one can use. Everyone is free to choose or not to choose. And though old skills are no longer as appreciated as before, there now more ways than ever to express your DJ creativity more freely without feeling the constraints. After all, isn’t musical expression is the goal for any DJ?
@@djcarlo I have a mental conflict between musical expression and DJ skills. In the past, it was more about skills. Today, it's expression. You have adapted to the changing times very well. 👍
The neural mix feature is what I really like about DJ pro. It makes it easy to match the key and tempo of two songs thereby creating a new song. Like some new type of sample where the whole song is the sample and the software/controller mixes and creates new sequences in real time.
There are over 100 million long samples otherwise known as songs on RU-vid. With the ability to match the key, the tempo. and isolated vocals on the fly, you will not run out of new song combinations. Its litterally a new music business.
pity NeuroMIx and Fluid Beatgridding arent available on Windows/Android. also a pity you didnt mention the differences of the IOS & Windows/Android versions. DJ Pro looks awesome but as a non-Apple user I cant recommend it.
I have 100 Mp3 Songs.. on my Tablet djay, if i Change device its Game Over then.. its not Apple music its file MP3 im gonna lose my cue point, so i have to protect my current device at all cost
Okay, that's fair! Make sure to protect your tracks! However, if you upload those files to your Apple Music account, the files should retain their cue points on other devices

Pretty much all streaming services still compatible with DJ software restricts stem isolation. I believe I touched on that here. You'll need the file to be in your computer as a local file for stem analyzation to occur. But if you don't use stems, then Apple Music is still amazing
I need the confidence to know my my local files are safe. Can we rewind and spend some more time on that part? ... So essentially we have 100,000 slots to backup and sync local files? Am I right? ... How can we test this without losing our minds?
How do you manage or ensure that your smaller devices are not overwhelmed by the files being synced to the mobile device for example? My MacBook and iPad are 2TB but what about my 256GB iPhone? ... I'm still used to syncing over the wire. ... I'm excited but afraid at the same damn time.
Follow exactly what I did in this video. Basically drag and drop your files to Apple Music’s library, and things should back up! Try a few files first then come back to it :)
@@djcarlo interestingly enough, like a number of DJ, I managed my music in iTunes/Music already. I am wondering if the cloud sync somehow put my tracks at risk of getting replace by tripping the DJgod-forbidden Music Match Monster? ... I signed into my DJay accout and the app tells me its i already syncing to iCloud, I didn't even confirm or configure that I wanted to use the iCloud Sync feature. I have 75k tracks and I am afraid to interrupt whatever sync is taking place. Fans are blazing right now (2015 MBP) lol. Not sure if there is a system requirement for these new features. Just some feedback. Not asking for tech support.
Great video man! I always enjoy watching your videos, even if its not something that will help me, at least for the moment but..all of your videos anyone can come back to and watch so, another one to the pile haha
I went with the Rane One so I could go back and fourth between DJ Pro and VDJ. I still need to use VDJ when I use Soundswitch so needed something I could use flawlessly with both.
Im trying to midi map my pads for stems, (Numark mixtrack plat FX) similar to serato, I'm finding that the hardest thing to do on the program, other thatn that, its awesome, especailly the FX with the crossfader
I stoped using Apple Music. They are too intrusive with your music. I have many CD’s that I uploaded into iTunes and now have become DRM protected and cannot play on third party audio apps including DJ pro.
Hi, thank you for your superb video 👍👌 I am having a problem with Djay pro, the fusion crossfader does not work on my Pioneer FLX4. I'm on a macbook air m1. Any ideas, any adjustments to make? thank you for your help
Yes Djay pro is up to date, the FLX4 too, I activate the Crossfader Fusion, but when my controller is connected to my Mac, the Crossfader Fusion option disappears. So it is impossible to use this option with the FLX4 crossfader.@@djcarlo
Great video! You really deserve so much more recognition for your hard work and time that you put into making the videos 🙌🏻. Quick question. Does it allow to record the songs you play from Apple Music? With SoundCloud it’s all protected and you need to download a song to your device.
It can be set up with your iPad! The beauty of having the sync environment is that you can set up your crates from your laptop, and just have them reflect on your iPad. Otherwise, you can also upload your songs to your iPad, and fix the crated there (though it's a much more taxing method compared to the cloud now)
@@djcarlo many thanks for your reply, really appreciate it! How do I setup the my crates on iPAD? I don’t see it as an option in my list of sources on the left hand side like it shows on your video. Thanks 🙏
Not for streamed files! Specifically mentioned that while talking about Apple Music actually. You can record using local (i.e. purchased and downloaded) files
Yup! It's been covered before I believe, forgot if i mentioned it here. I mentioned that you can't record as well with streamed files, but you can do so with local files, even the ones purchased through Apple Music
I see that you’re using Apple Music with an iPhone and MacBook, I have an iPhone but can I use it the same as you have without a MacBook? I had a windows laptop. Thanks
@@djcarlo Some features don't work, like smart fader and cfx, I've made the updates to both program and controller and it seems to work way better than before (a couple weeks ago) but they still don't work like on rekordbox.
Great!!! Quick question my Apple Music library works on djay 3 but not on djay pro… any idea why? I bought the djay pro subscription so not sure why it is not working properly
Thanks DJ Carlo, I’m testing apple music and so far I really like being able to build playlists on any of my devices I only wish that you could build/edit an Apple Music playlist in the DJ Pro app like you can with Tidal. It would be more convenient to not switch to apple music to edit a playlist and then go back to DJ and then refresh. Any idea if this feature is coming? Love your content BTW!
Thanks @djcarlo ! I’m doing the 30 day trial of Apple Music now and so far I’m pleased. Another quick question: if I am analyzing a streaming track in apple music (especially on iPad/iphone) I would still have to download it I wanted it to live on my device correct? Thanks again! I love your channel.!.!
Is it just me or not but whenever I go to my crates I made in serato When I go to Dj pro it keep asking me to allow access to a file that I don’t have.
I have queue points on the desktop version but they’re not showing in iOS version. Any idea why? I have paid version and am logged on to my account on both. Can’t figure it out! Help!!!
Yes. I’m using both a MBP M1 and an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Both are logged in to my account and have iCloud active. Nothing ports from Mac to IPhone. And their customer service is non existent. It’s much easier to do in and out points on desktop and just want those to also appear on mobile. Ugh. 😢
Hi there, im trying to pick between the prime 4 plus and the xdj xz. I can't decide because my goal for a long time was the xz but i cant help but feel the prime 4 plus is just better suited to me. I stream a lot of my music but also use usb. I play on cdjs every week but am already comfortable on them. Any pointers?
If you're comfortable using both platforms, it really depends. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Just choose the one you'll use the most in your free time!
I'm not as familiar with the nuances of the laws pertaining to public playing of music in different countries, but I think using Apple Music as a source falls under the same licensing rules that most venues adhere to. The source doesn't matter, as long as you're playing the music in public, you'll need a license. It's not something I'm very well versed on, so best to really check with your local venues haha
Yes! Djay Pro works with the FLX4. It should work with the iPad too, but I've yet to try that. Check out the Algoriddim forums for a few more details! It's been discussed there a lot
Apple just does it so much better and faster from my experience. The ability to download your OWN DJ library and even stream it changed how I approachec backing up!
@@djcarlohave you seen the new update from DJ studio? All music you bought from beatport you can see it on DJ studio and mix it. They have Spotify and apple too but my account is not linked to DJ studio because I don't use them to buy music but I believe all tracks from apple is there ready for you to mix. I actually prefer beatport for my music. I don't like apple because they are greedy all their products are way over priced
You’d be surprised how much Apple has. I just wish they would get their genres right. When I search on Beatport, or other DJ music poles, I find a lot of music It’s on their sites, is on Apple as well.
