Picking several songs at once and adding to prepare panel....GENIUS! I'll try it out.

A tip you could of mentioned is to have “play from start and play from first cue point” checked in setup. It’s helpful for beginners and will indeed load the track faster.

Great tips. I personally have them organized by decades but in them i havesubfolder( that start with THE decade song) and then others that match. I was hoping to see some examples. Thanks

Cool video but what I do with my cue points in Serato is that I name the cue point for example (mix here). I do that because I have so much music that sometimes I forget where I should mix my next song. Especially when I haven’t played that song. Hope this helps someone ✌️

Kid Capri started the quick mixing craz because he only had 30 minutes or less on Def Jam Comedy. But if you DJing 3 or 4 hours straight just quick mixing seems weird

An additional tip that if add would be to not forget to pay attention to the crowd. It’s easy to get wrapped up in everything you’re doing with your equipment and lose track of interacting with the crowd.

Great video bro. Question what is a prepared crate? I just started using Serato DJ Pro. I know how to create a regular crate and a smart crate and a sub crate. Hopefully not a stupid question. Thank you

How long should a song should be playing b4 mixing the next track? I mix it from 1min to 1: 1/2min. Also how long is a mini set? Are you talking 15 more or less?

Um hi I have a set in July and it's my first ever set it lasts for 30mins any advice

[PMeventsLT]

soooo, where do you actually start quick mixing to show us what you talk about?

[deejaybalance]

For your quick mixing, are you just dropping it on the 1 between tracks? And how are you transitioning between different genres & BPMs in a short amount of time?

A demonstration would of been nice. Not really a good video tbh
