How do you organize your crates? Tell me in the comments! (PT 2 Coming out tomorrow!) 😜

@Tobiemoss 5 месяцев назад

Atm i have a few genre folders like house and techno rave etc that won't really go with my main track folder. But the main one got to 7k songs, takes forever to load in traktor and probably causes the odd crash.

@anboojz 3 месяца назад

this was crazy to watch...organization to a whole new level. You and Cee B are doing the Lord's work for real!

@justinraymund 19 дней назад

Well this is awesome. Thank you.

I used to have a ton of genres and decade crates on my hard drive, but then dumped all my music into a single folder and created smart crates for all genres and decades. Smart crates make life simpler, for me at least.

@officialJonDivine Год назад

Smart!!

@Gauravanartist 4 месяца назад

but then how would you managed the songs for examples, I have folders for dance , hip hop, festival music, wedding, college fest and then subfolders in it and so on, if I dump all these songs in one giant folder, It will be a one long list and I will have to scroll from all the way up to down finding the songs, how would you manage that????

WOW - wall to wall info Jon. great tutorial. "just the facts' - you don't try to be a comedian - just gave it to us straight - much appreciated. 😊

@officialJonDivine 4 месяца назад

My pleasure, Walter! Just trying to help

@bboymac84 Год назад

Def worth it!! Especially when clubs have CDJs and you use Serato! Trust me!

@jetdeleon 10 месяцев назад

Hey thanks for this helpful video… looking forward to checking out the organization video… To help anyone else reading this… as a musician turned DJ… I wouldn’t rely 100% on MIK for key-detection because it’s only about 60-75% accurate. I ended up getting a refund because I saw no point in paying money just to have to go back and double check their results. Trust your ears…

@officialJonDivine 10 месяцев назад

Nothing is perfect, but studies have shown that MIK is the closest key detection software to date

@djshy8090 10 месяцев назад

OMG THANKYOU!!!!!

@DJAUDIO1 Год назад

Incredible resource.

@officialJonDivine Год назад

too many people don't know about it. I'm hoping to change that!!

@BkDjCrush Год назад

Good stuff bro

@officialJonDivine Год назад

Appreciate it

@bigdaz7272 Год назад

The MiK Energy level is pretty good for most Music other than say Rock or Metal, it mostly puts the a decent approximation number for each track or at least within the adjacent number which you would choose. I been using it for a while to add this number to the start of my "comments" however because screen real estate is limited on a typical Laptop i just add the "number" without tagging "energy" before it as it allows me to have more information viewable in the "comments" column, those extra 7 spaces count for a lot xD

@officialJonDivine 10 месяцев назад

You're not wrong! lol

Hi Jon, First of all, very good videos, informative and well paced. I have been using Lexicon for some time now, but I find the beatgrid analyzer too weak, it seems to be off more than it's accurate. While the same songs is bang on in serato. So at the moment my workflow is as follows: Mixed in Key Drag into dummy crate in Serato Analyse in Serato Import the crate to Lexicon Start working on metadata and so on Export back to Serato Feels like working a bit backwards in a way 🤔

@officialJonDivine 10 месяцев назад

Great question - If you wanted to, you can simply drag the MIK tracks into a lexicon folder and then sync to serato. Or, even better, keep the tracks in your downloads folder and use the 'incoming' section of your tracks to reroute all of your new music into smart folders that you've created in Lexicon. I've shown this in one of the series' videos!

@RetroRobson Год назад

Lexicon duplicates tool is amazing as it can tell a duplicate not just by the artist and title and mix, but by fingerprinting the track itself. I had gone through a period of getting older tracks but some were duplicates instead of actual different Remixes ie one track was called maxi mix another would be 12inch mix, when in reality they were the same version. Only way to know without Lexicon was to stack the waveforms or listen to them as sometimes the waveforms were just slightly different or had slightly different track lengths.

@officialJonDivine 10 месяцев назад

True!

@musiclovnlibra Год назад

Can I move my music to an external hard drive then use mixed in key and lexicon? If I have started using mixed in key and it’s taking some time to process, is it wise to go ahead and put the music on an external drive?

@henryconor5238 Год назад

This is awesome! What is the benefit of Mixed In Key though? If lexicon can already analyse the key and danceability? Thanks :)

@officialJonDivine Год назад

Great question! Mixed in key uses the actual audio dynamics of the song it’s analyzing to determine it’s energy and dance ability. Lexicon uses outside sources from the internet such as mixit and discorg. Ultimately, I trust MIK because of its lengthy and trust background in the industry
