For working DJ's and with most music purchases for $2 or less I would recommend having a base amount of music on your hard drive "just in case". For mobile and open source DJ's streaming services are great because of the wide variety offered.
I’d never recommend to only rely on streaming music for any serious DJ sets. This just helps you find stuff you don’t have, especially with the amount of new music releasing these days.
It’s all about those DJ edit tracks on beat source, unless you’re playing basic house music only it’s too hard creating creative mixes with radio edits every single track which is what I’ve been doing using tidal for the last year, time for an upgrade
Most WiFi is super slow!! Your phones 5G network service is much much faster than most WiFi. So I just use Djay app on my phone and I get suggestions for song genres I’m not too familiar with. Serato need to level up their features!!
@@thirdletterc Does the base plan when using serato not have ads, like if I search a song and play it, it wont like randomly play an ad after or anything correct?
I use dj pools but just signed up to tidal. Reason being i can now look up any song available. Can’t do that with the pools. My only question because I do like being able to use Intros and clean versions. Would beatsource be like all other dj pools with limited music?
Do the beatsource trial and see if it works for you. I like beatsource a lot. it has so much, and a lot of playlists for when you get lazy. I just like to actually have the music. I use tidal cuz it’s just a perk for paying for the streaming service.
You can’t go wrong either way, but beatsource may have some wedding playlists, and other genres you may need depending on your crowd. And you won’t need a wifi connection with beatsource. If you already have a big DJ library, and just wanna be able to search for a new request you don’t have, use tidal.
I have a small library, so with Beatsource you don't need WiFi at all? When I sign up to it, all the thousands of sounds are automatically on there? Thanks
To download music to your hard drive you need to have the actual mp3, or wav/aiff. So either you buy them on iTunes, Amazon etc, and or join a record pool.
i got both services streaming BeatSource ; 7 imllions tracks TIDAL ; 100 millions. i use a MSP controller and use BS for Streaming, because TIDAL not available for my MSP verison. i use a Tablet for backup with TIDAL and DJay, work great. TIDAL best for huge catalogue and for Wedding dj
@@thirdletterc Yeah. I wonder if it’s because I’m on the basic plan. I thought only a Capella a and extended mixes would be missing but it seems the basic plan lacks many tracks.
Great content. Clear and concise.
Thanks!
Solid review straight to the point no bs gotta love it ty
Thanks!

Thx for sharing your knowledge
No problem!
appreciate u bro this video was quick simple straight to the point
Fasho thanks!!
I use Tidal right now for my gigs, and it's been pretty good. I'm definitely going to give Beatsorce a try. Thanks for the info
No doubt. I’m still using tidal today. It’s good to have.
What do you do when theres no wifi with tidal?
Use the music you have
@Pedro Malanco I ran into that before. I have a hard drive that I use with my controller and if the wifi is slow or not working I go with that.
What if the venue doesn’t have wifi to use tidal?
Solid video! Thanks!
Thank you for watching!!
thx for the video! very helpful:)
That’s great! Thx!
Appreciated

Good work, thanks :)) DJ Skeezy Okinawa Japan

Supposedly tidal has offline locker now. Game changer if so, but I don’t wanna update
@@thirdletterc yea if you update you lose stems on tidal
@bboymac84 exactly! Also I always keep my old versions whenever I do have to update
It says the basic version has ads, how does that work with serato?
Does the basic version work with serato?
@@thirdletterc Does the base plan when using serato not have ads, like if I search a song and play it, it wont like randomly play an ad after or anything correct?
Using tidal with serato and using tidal to stream music are 2 different things.
@thirdletterc Gotcha so you only need to be subscribed to the basic plan of tidal to have access to it on Serato
I use dj pools but just signed up to tidal. Reason being i can now look up any song available. Can’t do that with the pools. My only question because I do like being able to use Intros and clean versions. Would beatsource be like all other dj pools with limited music?

@@thirdletterc gotcha thanks for reply
What's best for a mobile wedding DJ in your opinion? Thank you
You can’t go wrong either way, but beatsource may have some wedding playlists, and other genres you may need depending on your crowd. And you won’t need a wifi connection with beatsource. If you already have a big DJ library, and just wanna be able to search for a new request you don’t have, use tidal.
@@thirdletterc Thanks 👍

They have offline locker. Check it out
Beatsource is better in the sense that its songs are analysed and show bpm and key unlike Tidal
All you gotta do is analyze the tidal tracks you wanna use for bpm to show
Best source don't have a lot of stuff from the 80s
Tidal keep freezing my laptop
Can I download music on to my hard drive 😊
To download music to your hard drive you need to have the actual mp3, or wav/aiff. So either you buy them on iTunes, Amazon etc, and or join a record pool.
great video !! what dj pool would you recomend for a starting wedding dj? I recently tried crate connect and its crap :/ @@thirdletterc
@@thirdletterc WHAT´S A RECORD POOL, BRO?
i got both services streaming
BeatSource ; 7 imllions tracks
TIDAL ; 100 millions.
i use a MSP controller and use BS for Streaming, because TIDAL not available for my MSP verison.
i use a Tablet for backup with TIDAL and DJay, work great.
TIDAL best for huge catalogue and for Wedding dj
Well….. beatsource drives me crazy. Half the time it doesn’t load songs at all.
Oh wow. Even with the offline locker?
@@thirdletterc Yeah. I wonder if it’s because I’m on the basic plan. I thought only a Capella a and extended mixes would be missing but it seems the basic plan lacks many tracks.
LMAO this is not Karaoke! Thanks for the info brotha. Hare Krishna!
