A few years ago, I was djing in a club (it wasn't the biggest one here in Lima but it had a pretty decent PA system) and the second I dropped an 128kbps mp3 (the reward is cheese from deadmau5), the manager noticed and asked me to change it asap, the people on the dancefloor didn't notice it, but since it was one of my first gigs, he told me to never do it again and only play 320kbps files, best advise ever. I think its way more proffesional to do it, no matter if other djs don't.

Give me an exaple why he would need to export the hot cues to his SD cards? like how would he use it in a set for example?
thank you

[MrBlaiZ]

[Lexluger_]

Hey guys what kind of setup should I have to become a club DJ?? Mixer or a controller?

[Wieniet]

CAN rekordbox show the CAMELOT KEYS in the display ??? its just very handy to have when creating a set ..

[MrBlaiZ]

Between 128k and 320k MP3 file i hear a big diference in sound quality, but between 320k mp3 and wav dont. But i understood your explanation :)

[keith]

hey chuckie you ever sell hard drive list wish i could have that much music

[gunchief]

so they still have the free version? and is it pretty much the same as the paid version? or whats the big difference?

[MrBlaiZ]

If u export Hot Cues for SD card, u can "call" them on CDJs. like Chuckie said better use SD card instead of Pendrive cause even CDJ 1000 supports SD cards. Hope my tip is usefull

[bitsequence]

Guys how do you export a playlist in rekordbox as a simple text file? i do not want it as a xml file.

[Tacomaridge]

What kind of SD cards will work for the CDJ 2000 nexus models?

[ostovari_swe]

I spoke to a DJ about this and he told me this:
320k works great for a crowd up to 2000 (he used crowd so I could get the picture)
But if you wanne play big gigs like an arena then u have to use WAV.
But then again, this is 6-8 years ago and both soundsystems and digital media has changed so I'm not sure :)

[mixmasterd]

He did'nt touch how well the program interfaces with the CDMA

[playLOUDtv]

Usually it's because you are in front of monitors. On a well built system, you will hear and feel the difference between a 128k or even 320k MP3 and lossless and WAV and vinyl tracks.
Low quality MP3 with lose top end sibilance, bass frequencies and for extremely low bitrate, you will lose the details in the mid range.
If you can tell the difference in your headphones, you can bet it sounds ten times worse coming out of the PA ten times louder.
