Thanks Phil! Great review as always! I have used djay pro for years, and I concur, it has been tough seeing the STEMS on alot of other software, and I forced myself back on Serato since the STEMs and echo out effects are great, but my heart is always with Djay Pro and it didn't seem to get a lot of love due to RB, Virtual DJ and Serato. Lastly, it just doesn't work with a lot of controllers as you mentioned, unless you MIDI map them, which can be challenging at times, you just want things to be plug and play. Virtual DJ is amazing at that since it works with everything, I just wish DJay Pro would take that cue and be open since there are some controllers I would love to get and ones on the shelf that I would use if they are Djay Pro compatible. My 2 cents!

I’m seriously impressed with the update to the quality of the stems I just updated and tried it… im really excited about this update, so here is my opinion/rant For now, this is the only software I’ve been using heavily because it’s the most accessible to me. Originally the djay software was the cheapest and most professional software I had available to me without a laptop. I got right to my stem mixing, and immediately heard a difference in the quality. There are less artifacts, a lot less and it makes mixing with stems on algorithms amazing! The beat grids I’m loving so far, no complaints there… i wish I had more to say but I rely on the waveforms as a visual aid I like the new colors on the waveform too, they may be pretty generic but they’re a step up in quality forsure. I don’t know why that is important to me, but it is.

The crossfader fusion is really good. Better than virtual dj. Stems seem just as good as virtual dj but much faster to process. The beatgrid is the best in the industry now. If these features were available on pc I would buy the software today. I suspect before it’s released on pc other dj software would have already implemented the same features. I love the innovation but I hate the apple first policy. They are loosing money with that strategy.

The stem separation is absolutely phenomenal, and the improvement is mental ❤... BUT, I'm sure they are gonna fix this, but there are a lot of new bugs that have come with it that a few people, including myself, have had the misfortune of running into. Mainly to do with fx processing, there is no longer a wet dry option, and now it just changes effect volume, also no longer shows on screen which effect is changing, and the new beat grid isn't exactly perfect, because it runs this new automatic way of doing things, this results in the software doing it's own thing, and sometimes it will just automatically increase or decrease tempo of the next song or the one cutrently playing, it aint perfect sadly. So I think there should be a choice to make beat griding manual or automatic, depending on preference. Another new bug is that sometimes the beat sync will randomly turn off without prompt, not ideal to have to go back and fourth with it constantly 😕 But when these issues are fixed, this new software will be unstoppable ❤❤❤

djay is making a big push, seeing them on all the channels. They had to nail the gridding, the system they sell with this (the mixer you plug in) has no jogs so you can not adjust live really. It was less fun than playing with the more "hands on" systems. It's about time for DJ software to evolve. It has been basically the same (with some QOL improvements and slight additions (stems, more efx). It has basically been the same though. Think of what has been happening to the power of computers and tech in that same time. Compare the growth in video games during that time.

Most clubs festivals will have a V10 or an A9, both which have the multi io and the A9 has bluetooth. You can use it straight from the phone to the mixer. That opens up a limitless realm of software possibilities. Just make sure that your program/ app is mapped really well the basic club set up (and the few variations you see). Lots of possibility there.@@digitaldjtips

2:53 In Serato I would put a manual down beat marker at the start of every bar, but having the software do that is amazing off course. Now what would this software do if you would have pressed sync before the tempo slows? Would sync continue to follow the songs tempo or would it keep the song synced to the previous faster tempo?
@digitaldjtips 6 ай бұрын
All synced decks follow the tempo of the master deck.
@XEinstein 6 ай бұрын
@@digitaldjtips still unclear. If in Serato I put a downbeat marker on ever bar such that the song's beat grid follows the song's tempo, let's say from 120 bpm down to 100 bpm, then if I press sync at the 120 bpm section, Serato's sync will speed up the master song to keep it tightly locked to 120 bpm. So rather then that the master sync also slows down to 100 bpm, it just keeps everything locked to 120 bpm, which I don't want. I want that all other songs slow down to 100 bpm as well

Please help! Since the update, the BPM of a lot of songs are changing during the song and the same happens when I mix it with a other track with sync turned on.

@digitaldjtips 6 ай бұрын
What you're describing is how it is meant to behave I think. Unless you're playing with tracks with big BPM changes, this wouldn't be noticeable to the audience. The overall DJ set BPM will always follow whichever deck is set to the master, which would normally be the first of the two tracks (ie the one you are mixing out of) so you may want to check this.

I find rekordbox's gridding a bit inconsistent even with simple beat grids on. I have grids on multiple tracks which the BPM drifts slightly...but I know the tempo should be staying in one place all the way.

Where do the beatgrids get saved to? Can I analyze my migration in djay and then use them in serato?
@digitaldjtips 6 ай бұрын
No, you can only use them in djay, there is no common standard for sharing beatgrid information unfortunately.

Could you please post a step-by-step tutorial on the following for Rekordbox: I have a track where the beatgrid changes about halfway through. I DON'T NEED TO ADJUST THE BEATGRID FOR THE WHOLE SONG. It's already on the grid. There's a half-bar thing that changes the grid about halfway through the track and throws it off the grid. How do I adjust the grid from where the track changes halfway through so that it lines up properly from that point on, while not changing the grid on the first half of the track? Can't find any tutorials on this. Thanks

The subscription service is what kills this software. Great tech but trapped behind a pay wall. After subscribing to various DJ pooles the last thing I want to do is keep paying for a software. Charge for plugins not the software. Would be a great time to do a stems comparison with competitors.
@digitaldjtips 6 ай бұрын
Definitely a great time for a stems comparison! There is a free version of this software of course, so in effect you are only paying for the "good bits" if you choose to subscribe.

In some cases DJay stems sound better and in some cases you can hear other instruments bleeding thru, but the way you can control stems with just knobs on your mixer is so cool and useful, I can't believe Serato hasn't done so. BTW Serato crates system is not perfect but still better than in DJay

Thanks for sharing. Serato could do with a cloud solution too, in our view.

Here's my example: Deck 1 is sync'd to deck 2. Yet deck 1 is playing at, say, a 15% slower tempo than it's original tempo. To get deck 1 back to it's original tempo, I used to adjust deck 1's tempo. And there appeared a kind of ghosted or shadow indicator that I could move until it hit the current tempo. And I would adjust from there. Now, that helpful ghosted or shadow indicator is gone. How do I get it back? Thank you so much!
