Every DJ should sort their own music library to a certain extent. That sounds easy, but with around 100,000 songs in a music library, it turns out to be easier said than done.<\/p>\n
Here are some tips and tricks to sort keep your FileArchive nice and tidy.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]
Just as important as general playlists are directories tailored to the respective venue.<\/p>\n
Digital DJs should go through their files and create their own playlist for the evening. This eliminates the hectic jumping back and forth between the \u201cgeneral playlists\u201d during the performance. This way, the set gets a certain flow and there is more room for creative mixing.<\/p>\n
You can put together playlists for different situations and name them according to the genre. So, depending on the mood at the wedding, company party, etc. you always have the right songs up your sleeve.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]
Many DJs and dance schools manage their huge music databases with iTunes. You can easily import the playlists and songs created there into the UltraMixer FileArchive.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Read More” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9kb2NzIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijc1OTkifX0=@” _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]
By exporting playlists, e.g. as an M3U file, you can keep the folder structure in your FileArchive more minimalistic.<\/p>\n
You could plan multiple playlists for a future event, e.g. “Romeo’s & Juliet’s wedding playlist” or a setlist for the next dance competition. Until the event, you can simply store these playlists on your hard drive and import them again to UltraMixer when you need them.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Read More” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9kb2NzIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijc4OTEifX0=@” _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]
Once created, intelligent groups save you tons of time in managing your FileArchive. Create playlists with the “most played tracks”, playlists with topics such as “Best of 90’s” or filter your music for certain dance styles or genres.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9kb2NzIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjYxMDkifX0=@” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Read More” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]
Highlight your groups in the UltraMixer FileArchive with different colors to get an even better overview. You could mark different genre types and quickly change the genre in your set. For example, mark all Pop music groups in blue, all rock groups in black, and so on.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]
