Thanks for making the most comprehensive yet down-to-earth videos and articles, Phil. Saw the second edition of your book is on sale at an 'impulse-buy' price so did just that! I only have KZread Music as a streaming service currently, and strange that they are not integrated yet with any DJ software unfortunately.

No, that is a shame

Currently a Tidal subscriber. Was fine without having Stems on this service. Now that the price will increase. I will be cancelling once again. I don't Dj to make money. Only for fun. So, will find an alternative or simply purchase the music I really care for. Cheerios

Same here, although I do Dj for money, it’s not my main form of income and I went form Spotify to Tidal as it was the next closest thing , but now with the new price rise, I’ll be cancelling my subscription,, I maybe use Tidal for 2% of my music

Likewise. Not getting anything extra from Tidal for the price increase. Sticking to Beatsource for streaming and ZIPDJ for paid downloads.

Welcome aboard!

Great video. I use Tidal but they need to clean up the login process, sometimes it takes various attempts to set it up. I manage to use Spotify via another port on my DDJ-1000SRT and on my Prime Go and just mix that in. I don't get the track details, but I do get what everyone wants...THE MUSIC!

This is the "old school" way of doing it, and plenty of DJs do.

Good morning Phil. Another great video from you. I been going over your video on the Opus Quad. Trying to learn this thing. I am VDJ user for years. When I go into rekord box and I go to devise, I do not see the option for Opus Quad. Can you help me out ?

Cd's and records also have a "for private use only" message printed somewhere on the disc or sleeve.

I’m glad that tidal is bringing back stems price is up but it’s ok

Re: Tidal does anybody know if the price rise in subscription for DJ's will include the use of stems? I was really enjoying my DJing with stems but now it's been taken away or not enjoying it at all - if Tidal do not include stems I will be moving on.

@@digitaldjtips I guess 4 channels if they work at the same time in standalone would be more fun for me. But even 2 channel I would be ok with it , if I spend the 400£ extra for the sc live 4 I wanna make sure is a good investment. I'd be not happy if in a few months something new comes out at 1.2 1.3 k. Been 2 weeks I been watching all your videos , reviews , etc and still can't decide. Even the prime 4 go I wouldn't mind but really just don't know. It must be more that justify the 2 channel extra if I go for the sc 4, but the real question, do I miss alot in terms of creativity effects while mixing with the numark ?

WAV or MP3 when choosing to download a track? Thanks

@DataHoarders

4 ай бұрын

Wav. As a general rule mp3 is always compressed and information is gone. They use wav to make the glass master for mass production. So wav is always better than mp3

@digitaldjtips

Listen for yourself and see if you can hear the difference.

@DataHoarders

Wav they don’t use the MP3 format for mass production so there is obviously a difference whether you hear it or not. Always always use the best quality. You may not hear the difference but there are those (a lot and I mean a lot) who can hear the difference.

@MrKuken911

MP3 at 256 kbps minimum, ideally 320 kbps are well enough. You don’t need wav.

Here is the last thing I will say on the matter. Look at the file size of each. With a file that small, there is a TON of information lost. Always always use the best quality always.
