I’m definitely planning on getting 2 8gb 2014 MacBookPro’s getting one this fall and the other one winter

[@imsgoalie1]

Thanks for helpful video, it eased my mind about going with an older MBP and probably saved me some cash from buying something newer I won't need. Blessings!

I got a ddj flx10 but I need it to work with my Macbook pro 2012???

[@Djmartindus]

I would suggest getting a 2016 MacBook and up now, if you can. You have techs that can install the new OS on old computers but that causes issues down the line. another option is to have some install a version of windows on the mac so you can load both windows and apple os, and use the windows for Serato and fllx10

I have a gun 2018 macbook pro Catalina, i7, 16g ram, 2.5 ghz. I use traktor pro 3.6(2022) a traktor kontrol s4 mk3 with 2 turntable stanton T.92. It works, than it doesn't work. Basically its on then off, then on....offI. Im Getting low connection errors from the turntables. What do I need or what am I doing wrong?

[@Djmartindus]

I don't know much about tractor, I spoke with my friend Dj Troy, he said check your needles or increase the weight on the tonal arm to make the needle sit more on the record....

[@josephfranco1495]

@@Djmartindus ok I did increase 25 to 36, but increase more. I get back if it worked.

What software should i use on my newer 2017 MacBook Pro to work with most mixers like nexus 900

[@2119rocky]

Thanks for the video. I have a 2009 MacBook Pro OS Maverick would it be worth to upgrade or should I get a newer MacBook Pro. Thanks

[@diantheawallace5528]

Give info on the old MacBook your using

[@darienwatson2094]

So the 2017 one can be use but a bit hand bugging ?or the older days or more worth it 🤔

I was debating on a 6-core 2.9ghz i9 processor vs. an 8-core 2.3 ghz i9... What's more important, the number of cores or the processor speed?

I’m new to digital DJing,,, going to get a Mac but don’t want to spend a lot, and all I want it for is rekordbox and my music and maybe KZbin channel where I can put my mixes on. What will do for me ?

Is the old macbook pro 2019 version and new 2020 version? That's what comes up on amazon

I need to know what's the oldest macbook pro should I get for serato. What is the oldest year MacBook that is able to update to Mojave ?

[@Djmartindus]

i would suggest not to go below 2012 - 2013 models.

[@yodalukeskywalker6189]

I have a TTM 57 SL and I love it. Which Mac will work with it? Need some input please.

[@Djmartindus]

2015 and up, sorry for the late response

[@georgioocean7629]

Downfall I’m having with the old laptop is when you click update it’s not allowing it to work, right😢 I’m trying to see if there’s old update versions

[@Djmartindus]

the older ones can't upgrade to the new Mac OS .If someone does a hack on it and install it causes a lot of issue.

[@djextrodinare9495]

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 ?

[@Djmartindus]

You should be able to. But right now I recommend newer Macs as time has passed, try to get a 2015 and up because you will run into issues when you want to upgrade OS.

[@djextrodinare9495]

@@Djmartindus Thank you! Other DJ’s are suggesting I get a MB/M1 or M2. Everyone says that the M1 is more than capable.

Question, do you think you can DJ using new iPad Pro... what’s your opinion

[@daleymcginness2057]

I do it and connect it to a mixer

[@kamaredjsylvahamilton316]

Yow bro I know this is not about your topic but do have any guidance on getting dancehall and reggae music is there a website for that?

[@Djmartindus]

There is not just one site. There’s www.dancehallarena.com www.tunebanks.com Sometimes it’s best to find a dj that you can exchange music with. Yeah

[@MrTurkeybags]

Dj for 30 years. I use a mid 2012 13 inch macbook pro i7 2.9ghz 500gb ssd 16gb RAM. Specs are fire but im starting to have issues connecting to newer mixers even after i tried updating os. Should i just get a 2015 13?

[@Djmartindus]

Yes that's one of the issue with the 2012s, I would suggests you go newer. 2015 and up is ok. Do you use any other music softwares other than Serato, also what's your budget...

[@MrTurkeybags]

@@Djmartindus budget not really an issue. Just frugal and dont want to buy cpu that is overkill when im only using it for serato and need it to be compatible with s9 and nexus at least

[@playhawttt]

Big up yuhself martin

[@PoetKingBlaqIce]

Can u give me the specs I should be looking for? I'm looking for a back up. Should I go 15, 16 or 17 What size Mac book How many gbs How much ram I do want all my usb ports

[@deleted9578]

prob late for responding to this but 15 inch, any year is fine (15,16 or 17 - either one is good), 16gb of ram, and 500 gb. You can always get a external SSD which I have right now since 500 gb isn't enough for me.

[@williamrivera6818]

Can I use a 2020 mack book pro for dj

[@Djmartindus]

yes you can, if you play in direct sun light it may freeze up when using serato dj

[@djchaeliedeguzman8668]

Very well said!

[@drevolution4975]

Awesome video ❤which laptop can I use for vdj like using serato Dj video to Dj

[@Djmartindus]

I now recommend to get a 2017 or up, that’s because most older versions can’t upgrade to the newer operating systems out now.

[@Tryall200]

Later 2013 is the best for DJs

[@djs5663]

[@ACCOUNTANTB]

New hardware most of time its not gonna solve it - you will only have problems with some minimum requirement system demanded by some latests softwares like Serato DJ pro 3.0. if any serato older version works fine and still has everything you need - stick with it. thats no problem at all - many guys still use core I5 / I7 and windows 7 pro (64bit) + 16gb ram with older serato versions flawlessly - mind this - its all based on MIDI protocols...wich is very old and limited - and most of the DVS systems runs with USB 2,0 - even USB 3.0 wont get any better

2017+ is the better option over all, I am sorry. I keep nothing on mine even for when I am photo and video editing. Even when mixing, still keep nothing on board, but the sear amount of processing power overall compared to my 2012 - 2015 MacBook Pro 13 and 15 inch it just does not compare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Djmartindus]

Thanks for the feedback, I have noticed something about the new laptops. When playing outdoors if any sunlight catches it they freeze up while djing. So the older ones can withstand heat more.

[@mostwantedm3]

Djmartindus I haven’t been able to spot that change, but with the newer ones it is known for thermal throttling under extreme heat.
