Vibralocity Tutorials | Organizing Your Sample Library
In this video, I go over a simple method of organizing a sample library that I use in my DAW (Ableton). The idea is to be able to quickly find and use any sample within my library for any project I'm working on. The method I use in this video is just one approach to organizing samples, and I encourage you to find your own!

Vibralocity Tutorials | Reworking a WIP
zhlédnutí 160Před 11 měsíci
In this video, I cover a process I call "Reworking a WIP." The premise is- if I'm working on a track and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere, I will save a copy of it and start reworking it. That means I will take the elements that seem to be working well and then take bits out that weren't fitting. I'll usually add a new instrument or two, change up the percussion, or write a new bassline. I ...

      Yes- first you will want to right click on the column headings and make sure 'Track Number' has a check mark next to it. Then, you will find that column (usually marked as '#' and click it once so that the songs are organized by track number. Then, you can drag the songs around to be in any order you choose.

    • @vibralocitymusic
      @vibralocitymusic Před 2 měsíci

      Hey there! So, when you have the playlist open in Rekordbox, you'll want to click the 'Track Title' column so that it arranges all the tracks in alphabetical order (or do this with the Artist Name if that's what you want). Then, you'll want to right click the column section and then left click the "#" or "Track Number" heading. This will make sure it shows up in the columns. Finally, click any of the tracks so it is highlighted, then go to your menu, click 'Playlist' then 'Renumber Track Order'. Then you can export! They should be in order if you follow all these steps.

      So usually what that means is that you have to activate it. If you right click anywhere in the column heading area (where it says Artist, Title, etc) you should see a list of all available columns. The "#" label should be the very top option I believe. Just left click on that label and it should appear in the column headings. Then you can left click the heading and drag it as far left as you'd like, to organize more effectively.

    • @vibralocitymusic
      @vibralocitymusic Před 5 měsíci

      No need to apologize. The library, or collection as Rekordbox calls it, is not really meant to be organized. It just shows the songs in the order you imported them, I believe. You will want to create a Playlist and then click the "#" column heading, which will allow you to freely move the tracks in the Playlist. I am planning to make a video on set prep, which will include creating Playlists, in case you don't know how. It is pretty simple though- just look in the left hand menu section, hover over the 'Playlist' heading, then click the little + sign that appears. Then you just name the playlist and drag songs over from your flash drive. If you're wanting to import your entire library into that playlist, you totally can! Hope that helps :)

      When you say play after each other, do you mean autoplay through a playlist in Rekordbox? If so, you will want to just select 'Simple Player' which is in the dropdown menu where it says '2 Player'. That's it, when you hit play, the tracks will autoplay one after the other.

    Regarding exporting playlists to flashdrive. If you already have a playlist on your flashdrive named e.g. "House 1" and you have a playlist in Rekordbox named also "House 1" but with new tracks and then you use the sync manager to update the playlist on your flashdrive with the new tracks, will it erase and replace the playlist in the flashdrive with the playlist from Rekordbox or does it only add the new tracks to the playlist?

    • @vibralocitymusic
      @vibralocitymusic Před rokem

      Good question! I like to think of Rekordbox as being a direct representation of what's on my flashdrive. That means, when I import songs to Rekordbox, I name the playlists the same, and have all the same songs for both the flashdrive and in Rekordbox. In your situation, if you added songs to a playlist called 'House 1' in Rekordbox, when you sync, it will create a playlist that's only accessible by Rekordbox compatible products (CDJs, etc) of that same name. That playlist will have your songs with the beatgrids, tempos, comments, and any organization that you used in the Rekordbox program. It will not affect the raw track files that are saved on your flashdrive. Again, that's why I like the playlists I create in Rekordbox to match exactly what I have saved on my flashdrive- so I always know where I have files backed up. Let me know if that answer makes sense or if you need a different explanation.

    My first thought is that this method use a lot of playlists. On a CDJ that means more scrolling hance requiring more time to find the track you want, but if it works for you I suppose that's what matters. I noticed some similarities to how you organize your tracks for points in a set to how I do it. I have actually tried several ways to find out what works better for me personally but one say is [Folder] called 'Set Point' (super basic) playlsits in the folder: 1. Openers 1/4 1/2 3/4 Closing Another Method I tried was [Folder] called ' Atmosphere' playlists in the folder: Light Warmers Openers Openers Downtempo After First Track Builders Midset Moving Along Closing Obviously I am creating these lists based on the tracks in my collection and also as an attempt to keep it simple. I can't really find something that works for me exactly how I want it however. I just wish that Tag lists work better and searches workd better in CDJ functions. The thought occured to me that I could use your method that could expand from my current Intelligent playlists: IE: [Folder] Deep House playlist in the foder: Openers Light Warmres Midset etc...

      Thanks for the thoughtful response! I appreciate your feedback. My method does have a lot of playlists, but generally for a given event, I will only be searching through a limited number of them to find the tracks I want. I'm glad that this method got you adjusting your playlists- I really wanted it to be a starting point for folks to create a system that works for them! Let me know if there are other topics you'd want me to cover.

    I feel like a got an over-the-shoulder view of exactly how one DJ uses Playlists for different DJ scenarios. Thank you for sharing this video!
