Totally agree with you on only buying good quality music that you love, yes it costs money but 1. It supports the artist and 2. If you’re buying tracks that wont be redundant in months/years to come then it’s a sound investment. Unless you’re playing out you don’t need the buy all the newest tunes ( of which many may become irrelevant in a few weeks).

@digitaldjtips Ай бұрын

Agreed!

@madsoundsdj 4 ай бұрын

I also find that when buying music make sure to listen to it on good speakers or with headphones. Cause sometimes a track sounds good listening to it on a laptop speakers then you buy it and play it on a big system and then you realize it’s not such a good track.

I'm glad to see you write an article on your practices Phil, and yes maybe I came off a bit agro with my question the other week so I take that back! I do feel some Traktor love could be added into a future live stream one day though as even if your survey does not reflect it there are still a lot of people around using and also love Traktor even from there begining days up until today, but I understand you might not have much call for it as you have explained. I like to think my questions as challenging ones! ;)

Ah, thanks for the dialogue! You were the straw that broke the camel's back to be honest so you did us a favour - we care a LOT about impartiality and also privacy. No harm done, and we hear you about Traktor - we do have some Traktor stuff in the pipeline as it happens.

i'm confused. is beatsource subscription only? based on how it was explained here, i'd assume it's a store, just for more commercial music, but i only see monthly prices there

@MRALLENLY 4 ай бұрын

The monthly price is for the streaming service, which integrates to DJ software. It is also a store though, just look at individual tracks and you’ll see they have a price too. You don’t need the monthly plan to purchase tracks though

Mr. Phil. Have you heard the news about Tidal? Starting April 10 the hi-fi plan will be $10.99. American dollars for everyone and $9 extra if you're a DJ.. I'm not sure if that reinstate us being able to use stems again? Also, Mr. Phil how many hard drives do you recommend we back up our MP3 collection to music files, etc. I use dumbdrives while doing sets but I like to have a master back up on at least one hard drive but I don't feel that safe enough thank you by the way I like Apple Music Tidal and BPM supreme
