You don’t have any for serato Dj ?

[@Crossfader]

We have the same tutorial on Serato here: wearecrossfader.co.uk/blog/how-to-dj-with-a-laptop/

[@mauriziodellafortuna2702]

everytime I try even with another video I never manage to receive the email to download the free music pack

[@deejayprinciple]

Do a virtualdj video too

[@markroban7463]

​@@Crossfader0:54

[@StrictlyforAmapiano]

Everyone says I make great Spotify playlists. Kind of motivated me to want to learn to dj because only thing I could do is cross fade on Spotify

[@JesseMcCullough]

I love EDM and I love finding mixes I can just leave on in the background while I'm doing my daily tasks. At some point, I got curious about the art of mixing and making my own mixes. This led me to looking online at the gear and software and eventually I found Crossfader and have loved how you guys breakdown the gear and teach the craft. Knowing me, I've not wanted to buy equipment I might use once and then have sit in a corner collecting dust for ages because my ADHD just can't stand not getting instant gratification. This video is perfect for getting me started with what I already have, namely the PC on my desk.

[@blackman13ful]

Greetings Jeremy. My inspiration came from watching you mix seamlessly, and how easy it is to follow along to any of your tutorials and reviews, just amazing.

[@shroud4269]

man crossfader is such a great channel you guys are amazing keep up the great work

[@TheDigitalRaiin]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!!

[@darkstepwarrior88]

perfect balance of information for beginners and also some in depth stuff

[@anthonyfonseca2417]

Dude, I had no idea how lost I would’ve been without this video til I downloaded rekordbox. I’m starting with zero DJ experience and just bought my first controller, the DDJ FLX4 and was ready to get started learning. You basically held my hand though this whole process and I couldn’t thank you enough!

[@ayishatusman4860]

@anthonyfonseca2417. Same as me. 😢

[@siemprehayflores]

hi! i also bought a ddj flx4, but i dont have the perfomance mode on my rekordbox, did you have to pay something to activate it?

[@anthonyfonseca2417]

@@siemprehayflores No I didn’t have to pay for anything. You should check out beatmatch guru, he has a beginners guide for rekordbox. Hopefully that helps!

[@John_McLean]

​@@siemprehayfloresno,you can switch from export to performance mode. You find it at the up left

[@Ayaanmasked]

One of the best class I can say I was totally confused on seeing all channels and I was just thinking only wit controller we can start djing this gentleman showed each break down of before buying a controller wat we can do really hats off man.... I was for some cash to come to start but before tat we can do u said amazing man

[@olikirke]

Thanks for the vid. Very helpful. I've been interested in DJing since watching DJ Carlo Atendido play a mix back in 2020. I've had some struggles in the past but I know this video will help me push through.

[@Lifemade007]

You killed it bro 😎 great teaching

[@lukwagobrian5767]

Thank you for the lesson 👍

[@king_Asibey]

I’ve been interested in DJ for a while and finally got on KZbin to find an app to download and to learn and I found more than what I was looking for

[@Boccione07]

This was a great video to watch for a beginner!

[@trentmakes]

Great tutorial.

[@johnd9937]

Thanks men! 🙂🤜

[@theodorekgampe3644]

amazing video my g ...

[@juanwinstonparedesbarril3378]

[@vincydelsekene9724]

Thank you so much.

[@apy912]

always loved playing music to my friends.

[@markkirkpatrick6997]

Wow cheers

[@DJBRAIT_]

i love this

[@Crossfader]

😍

[@hartleypike162]

Great video! Do you have any info on connecting headphones to listen to the queued track when using laptop only?

[@saren6538]

Hi did you find out ?

[@Lifemade007]

Thanks for the dj jumpstart but I didn’t get the email for the music pack some special I need to do?

[@hughmunro2467]

I notice this newer ‘laptop DJ’ video uses Rekordbox vs the one you did years ago using Serato DJ Lite. Any reason for the change?

[@iraklitos]

really nice video, is there a way to connent to Spotify or Soundcloud songs directly to the rekordbox?

[@danieldongua8419]

GOAT

[@deiwar2994]

I was just curious what has happened with Laptop DJing these days! I used a Laptop way way back with VDJ.

[@siemprehayflores]

hi there! i just bought a ddj flx4 and i have rekordbox on my mac but the perfomance mode is not available :/ do i have to pay a suscription to active it? or should i delete it and download the newest version? thanks!

[@evacax]

Why isn't any of my apple music supported by rekordbox? All of my songs have that red circle by it and also doens't show any music when I type in a song. Do you have a solution for this so I can start practicing?

[@LennoxWhite-lb7ye]

Thanks, I'm a slow learner, need step by step guidance, already have music on my computer, how do I get them on record box

[@MrYatharth7]

I cant find the free music pack , it redirects to a page and then redirected to another video

[@CosticaKristianDiVogli]

You can mix with just an iPad, was doing that a decade ago with iPad4; besides, you can use EQing for a proper mix and even FXes. I did also mixed once with a laptop about 8 years ago and did the EQing as well (at list on the bass level)

[@Crossfader]

You sure can just mix with an iPad. We’ve got a series on it here: wearecrossfader.co.uk/blog/ipad-djing/ Some people get started with a laptop, others have an iPad. All just personal preference. The next video in this series shows how to start using EQs to mix also.

[@jeffwilliams8031]

can you transfer your spotify play list into this dj software?

[@ProflexFitness]

I'm eventually going to get the DDJ-FLX4 but (For Now) I want to learn from just the Rekordbox software on my Laptop. In this video you're describing Beats and Bars - could you "explain" the Beats and Bars on ANY TOOL Song? I know that their songs are NOT every 4, 8, 12, 16 etc - as you are describing here. If you listen to any TOOL song you will understand what I'm talking about.

[@dejonmontgomery3663]

Which laptops are compatible with serato DJ lite controller

[@J-God_1999]

What are some benefits to using Rekordbox over Serato? Or is it just personal preference?

[@Crossfader]

Personal preference. Its usually determined by what controller you first buy

[@user-sz6lb3jf7y]

Hello, I have a problem with the Recordbox program

[@blackman13ful]

...and my apologies for getting your name incorrectly Jamie. Keep making wonderful videos brethren.

[@nando349]

reliving my lost youth

[@dorangovers1795]

Bro you cant use rekordbox on every laptop i got an Acer laptop and did instal it but it want open i got a notificatie that my Acer laptop is not compatible with the Acer

[@djqestrainternational9168]

Is there a way to map controls on keyboard? Using a mouse only, limits the tricks one can do in the software.

[@Crossfader]

Yeah you can map anything to any key. If you go into rekordbox settings then go to the keyboard tab there are all the options there

[@bigdaz7272]

You can also Midi Map controls/functions onto a Midi device you happen to have lying around also

[@djqestrainternational9168]

Awesome thanks guys

[@DJStanSteel]

VDJ is far better choice and is already mapped to the keyboard. But a controller is the only way forward.

[@jake2na]

An Overmono set @nye festival., touched my soul. Great video tyvm!

[@eddgutierrez5811]

I've been doing as a hobby since 2001 and I want to know where I can find a free dj software with too 40s music and KZbin and or cheap i dont want to pay $199

[@user-zi6nx1sx8z]

Staying with a friend

[@jacklaing6399]

Hello, I have recently watched the video and the link did not work. 'Sorry, we couldn’t find that page Make sure you’ve typed the URL correctly, or try searching Vimeo. You could also watch one of the videos below instead.' This is happening when i click the link.

[@Crossfader]

Apologies, thanks for letting us know. This should now be resolved.

[@trenine807]

My DJ Daniel walding I need one of I'm homeless

[@darthsynchronic]

won't support other DJ controllers... Numark Controllers would have to MIDI mapping... smh

[@ismailuslu4076]

Songs are 160 kbps man I like 256 kbps,In short, the archive is garbage

[@SUPAROCKINDJSMASH]

Let this be known y'all will not be able to do nothing without no gear you may be doing it with a laptop and now but don't think that you are a professional like leave that professionalism to the professionals y'all play around if you want to but don't come out the Woodworks thinking you're nice cuz I will show up and I will tell y'all down

[@ismailuslu4076]

The songs are very bad, I have my own archive, there is a lot of music with better quality and it's from the same producers.

[@djqestrainternational9168]

I`ve been using #Virtualdj for years, can`t wait to dexter #Rekordbox on PC 💯❤‍🔥
