Hey where is the link to download stems onto a ddjflx4 controller :)

[@BB-hk2te]

Hey Carlo, Ive been able to download the link for the ddj400 STEMS but i seem to be having a problem. Ive been able to get the STEMS function on RekordBox, but I still cant get the function to work on the ddj400 itself with the Shift Key + Sampler. it still brings to the key shift function. If you can help me out with this or point me in the right direction that would be amazing. Thank You!

[@stevenh1]

I've been using Rekordbox for about 3 years now and this video has opened my eyes to settings I never even knew existed! Thanks Carlo, amazing video!

[@djcarlo]

For sure Steven! That's why I put this video together; some of the settings took me months to discover, and I was actively tinkering with it!

[@RichDuckKing]

It always makes me feel good when I see you recommend things I’ve been doing ever since I started mixing. Things like using cue points to mark specific sections in a track. It just made sense to me to have a visual representation of the bridge or the breakdown and build-up, etc. One thing I’ve noticed about my timing, I do FAR better cueing in the next track when I’m not looking at my display. When I do it by ear, I hit it dead on like 95% of the time.

[@djcarlo]

That's awesome to hear! 😊 It's always great when techniques like using cue points resonate with your own mixing style. Having visual cues for different sections really helps, doesn't it? Keep rocking those mixes!

[@chinno1234]

Does the que point markers setup in dj studio get transferred to serato too.

[@alpham8754]

I saw this at a colleague of mine: I think the best layout for Serato DJ Pro is when you have your decks right and left, so that the wave form can be in the same line. It's long enough and you got a higher library, especially when you got sampler pane all the time enabled like me.

[@djcarlo]

That's a clever setup! Having your decks side by side does make a lot of sense, especially when you want a more expansive view of the waveform. It's all about finding what works best for your workflow. Do you find it enhances your performance having everything laid out that way?

[@DJRND17]

I'm a brand new DJ, but your content has been teaching me so much. Its like learning a new instrument. I really appreciate all of the free content and hope to be able to pay it back someday!

EVERY DJ WILL LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS VIDEO I been DJing with Serato since release (2002?) using the Rane SL-1 box with my vinyls, on my classic Pioneer DJM-600. I’m so old skool that I was pretty much clueless about my settings until I watched this.

[@kesakko90]

Just starting on an FLX4 this past week and the hot cue settings and colourful waveforms are very useful. Thanks! and Happy New Year! 🎉

[@djcarlo]

Glad to hear it! Hope those things help you mix better!

[@kenneperrymusic]

In the 7th part of your tutorial you talk about when it's time to start the next song you give an example of correct and wrong way to start a mix. I think it's important to mention why those points are the start for a next mix. And you don't need to know each song by heart for this. The power of 32 is something i repeat over and over again to starters. Except for Drum and Base it's what always comes back in every genre. When counting the beats in a song it comes always back and each time the first kick comes, it's a good point to start (understanding the technology before trusting on it) It takes a few sets with counting beats to let it go in your human system and once they understand the power of 32, they will enjoy mixing more and enjoy music much stronger. And there are tricks to learn how to match the beats without a sync or helping tools. The first old school dj mixing tool is the power of 32 beats. And understanding why it's ok to tick the red zone in a table is ok but when the red light on a fader stays on is not, is an important thing to know, Mixing without sync is very easy is you (prelisten with low tones out) the moment you turn it on and turn off the other is the moment to change the headphones to prelisten to the track without the low tones) In a live band it's also always the drummer who is in charge of the tempo, to match two different tempo's it's much easier to correct the difference. Even experienced dj's will not be to mix a full set correctly, if they try to match the beat with the beatless track. That said, I want to say that I find your tutorial very useful for starters.

[@djcarlo]

One hundred percent agree on the 32s! I Just didn't delve into it here as I felt like that needed an entirely different video altogether (and it's not always true for all songs. Some have odd signatures and measures). I did make a video on manual beatmatching too, as I feel like that, in itself, needed it's own video! Given, those are great tips and techniques you put forth here!

[@Fmweditz]

I'm so happy that he made this video! There were some things in this video that I needed to know and he covered everything. Thank you so much.

[@djcarlo]

@@djcarlo Just ended up moving to Serato, sad I don't get some of the visual quality of life stuff from Rekorbox, but stems quality is a bit higher. Thanks again.

[@DiPalma1982]

I may be missing something in my current configuration (relatively new to this). But DJ Studio export is only worth it if you use Rekordbox, for example, if you use Serato DJ Pro. You will only get the songs in order. When you import them, you get no Hot Cues created. So, none of the "cool things" you show on the video to help you pick transition points will work for Serato users. If I am mistaken, please correct me. Otherwise, make that clear in the video. Everything else is useful and accurate, so thank you for this and all the other videos.

[@djcarlo]

Good eye! From what I recall, it's mostly for Rekordbox. DJ.Studio works better in exporting for Rekordbox for now, though they may be working on more Serato-oriented features in the future.

I thought those latency settings are there to set how long will the sound card buffer the sound, so that it plays without delay or any noticable clicks? Another thing I'd like to know: I see you often playing on computer-based controllers. Would you prefer those on gigs or all-in-one controllers?

[@djcarlo]

Absolutely! You nailed it with the latency settings. Adjusting the buffer ensures that you get smooth playback without any delays or annoying clicks. It's like fine-tuning your performance for the best experience. Great observation! Computer-based controllers offer a lot of flexibility, but the choice between them and all-in-one controllers often comes down to personal preference. Do you enjoy the versatility of computer-based setups, or do you prefer the simplicity of an all-in-one unit? It's all about finding what feels right for you! I often just use whatever is available!

[@alpham8754]

@@djcarlo Well, my colleagues said to use professional Pioneer hardware, so that it's possible to send songs to the console across multiple laptops.

@@djcarlo I found it under collection , but was looking under my playlists which it isn’t there. Is there a way of getting it for just my SoundCloud playlists? Many thanks for your help!

Another great tutorial. Subscribed and bell has been clicked 👌

That means a lot!!

Hey Carlo!! Dope video!! What’s your opinion on numark platinum fx? Should I get it? (For bedroom use, maybe some parties/gigs in summer) I have had the baby numark party mix for 3 years and I really want to get an upgrade to learn more skills!! Btw I’ve considered the flx4 but it’s kinda overpriced in my country (almost 370 bucks)

[@djcarlo]

It's pretty okay if you don't scratch. Jogwheels are pretty heavy. However, its the only controller in its category that has digital displays on its jogwheels I believe. I have a review on it if you wanna check it out!

Finally learned to midi map but the effects don't stay on unless it's the 3 effcets that take you out of a song. Big miss there by Pioneer.

[@djcarlo]

That's so strange! I don't think thats been my case with midi mapping. Do they just revert otherwise for you?

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

I noticed for pad fx you do "v brake 1 off" for both the top and bottom, is that on purpose? why have that repeat instead of using a new one

[@djcarlo]

Oops, mightve accidentally double-assigned it 😅

Great vid I’m a DJ of some 40 years as a DJ I’m actually 58 but I find your Vids entertaining, informative and make me try new stuff, although I’m more of a flow mixer. Can you do the same type of vid for VDJ and Djay5 if you ever get time.

[@djcarlo]

I'll see about that Pauli! Gotta do a lot more research into both for that :)

[@discopauli]

Just a quick one as I keep getting free trials of DJ studio does it output those cue points to VDJ or DJay or just Serato and RB, I have all 4 lol

[@discopauli]

And a fell of the chair with the trainwreck mix and funeral scene, lol

Hi Carlo, thanks for the tips, much appreciated! I also have the FLX4, may I know your thoughts on Rekordbox for iPad? I can’t find a lot of the settings I see in the PC version. I probably should get a laptop/macbook instead. 😅

[@djcarlo]

I havent explored it well myself, but I will say it's slightly watered down compared to the laptop version. Still a good program though!

[@jacobblanchardart]

Such a great video, Carlos! You are a fountain of knowledge. I don't have that setting to replace pad more with stems in Serato DJ Pro. Is that a feature that's limited to certain controllers?

[@djcarlo]

Only available on Rekordbox DJ Gear :)

[@jacobblanchardart]

@@djcarlo I see. Thanks for letting me know!

[@matess9673]

Not all DJs use Serato or Rekordbox. I use Traktor and I have a question, could you show me how to set this option on Traktor?

[@djcarlo]

Ah, the problem is, when I did this video, Traktor didn't release their major update yet, so I couldn't really do much. I might do that once I've familiarized myself with the new Traktor though

[@andrewsears7185]

Great video it’s very helpful! Only thing for me however is that the sectional mixing layout doesn’t appear on my screen even after I adjusted my settings to the ones you show. Not exactly sure why this is, but I’m trying to figure it out myself

[@djcarlo]

Analyze the tracks first! That's the usual issue I see when they don't appear for others 😄

[@RickvanderPijl]

I have te exact same problem, how do you analyse tracks Carlo?

[@Hslaw.-]

Again many thanks DJ carlo Ive yiur stems script installed thank you for your many helpful videos

[@djcarlo]

Happy to help! Glad you’re gonna use Stems!

[@Hslaw.-]

@@djcarlo I'm gonna try anyways ,but either way I'll have fun in learning 😁

[@marcelolopez-rx4yt]

Hey Carlo, newbe here, just wondering if the stem mapping works with serato as well. Keep up the good work.

[@djcarlo]

Not for the controllers unfortunately. It's a little trickier on my end since Serato's compatible controllers are so varied 😅

[@martintilev8792]

Dude, thank for the awesome tips, i just downloaded the stems file. Looking forward to using stems!!!

[@djcarlo]

You're gonna love it, I guarantee you!

[@adamstudios]

these tips are so awesome - thank you!!! ✨🙏

[@djcarlo]

For sure Adam! Which ones were you able to apply?

[@adamstudios]

almost all of them, except the stems setup - this i will have to look into more deeply. it took me a little bit to figure out how to activate pad fx - at the very bottom of the rekordbox window 😂 my favorite setting was changing the waveform color - this is super helpful! thx@@djcarlo

[@DanielSuchite08]

How did you access the Pad FX settings on serato? Just started messing around with my FLX4 and my pad FX1 isn't doing anything and the bottom 4 of pad FX2 are not doing anything as well. Would appreciate your help and your videos have been really helpful thus far! 🙌🏻

[@djcarlo]

Oh man, Pad FX doesn't exist on Serato unfortunately. It's all on Rekordbox only.

[@DanielSuchite08]

@@djcarlo would you recommend rekordbox over serato? I've heard good things about both.

[@teodoroprea1282]

thanks for the tips

[@djcarlo]

Woohoo!

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

i make stems based mashups sometimes multimixes with an instrumental here a vocal there etc sometimes just two tracks more intimately blended but right now i find making these mahup up tracks easier and then i cue point them for when i record a show for twitch.I use Serato studio which also has stems so this sort of blurs the line between production and djing which is more creative.When i get a new mac then live stems will be a thing ..as well

[@djcarlo]

Believe me, once you get a new more powerful Mac, your world will change! Instant stem mixing hits very different

[@brianadris]

Hi DJ Carlo! First I want to say huge thanks for creating this video! It is totally useful for a newbie like me. Second thing is, I wanna ask related to FX Pads. I have been download STEMS through your link, and I am using the mapping pad fx in the video attached. But when I see in the last section of this video, your Pad FX turns different with the STEMS. Is it different pad fx mapping when we press sampler (for STEMS) and pad fx1? Thank you!

[@djcarlo]

I may need to update them. I did these settings on RB6, and I'm not sure if they held up on RB7
