  • Mix Club - The Remedial Class

I’ve been mixing a lot yesterday and today. I honestly can’t believe the effect of the tempo settings. It’s so much more reliable and consistent - so much more enjoyable.

Had grand ideas about a mix that meanders from about 110 through to 124 ish.

Today just mixed between 118 & 124.

Was liberating.

Not what I want to do but probably a good way to learn.

Steady lads you’ll be hitting the 130’s next. After that it’s full on nose bleed techno.

    My transitions are always roughly 200+, once I’ve expertly combined both bpms

      Along_the_Wire Changing the tempo settings to +/- 6 is a massive game changer for me - who knew?! Thanks @Amps.

      No worries.

      If you stick at it, you should have a moment where it all becomes second nature, like driving a car, you won’t even think about it, thats when you can start really having fun.

      I’ve searched high and low, but can’t work out how to re-order tracks in a playlist on Rekordbox - can anyone help a brother out?

        In Serato DJ Pro you need to click on the hashtag line in the folder to re-arrange tunes. Not sure if its the same in Recordbox

        Along_the_Wire …how do you mean re-order, you mean drag them into a different sequence, or have them go 99-1 rather than 1-99?

        If it’s the latter, like Dutchy says you click the hashtag symbol at the top of the playlist and it should reverse the order.

        As long as you are filtering via the number (ie. hashtag selected), you should be able to drag tracks into any order you like, but if you have a different filter criteria selected (BPM, Comments etc.), it won’t let you drag/reorder.

        None of this necessarily reflects what you see on the CDJ/controller though, it’ll depend what search filter you have selected on there.

          Unbroken1 I click the hashtag symbol and it orders them, or reverses them, but I can’t drag tracks up and down to re-order whilst hashtag is selected

          You can only re-order a playlist when you have the column sorting set to the column called “#”
          was the reply

          I’ve worked it out - you have to click on the track with the mouse pointer in the hashtag column and it then drags.

          Cheers fellas.

          Old-Dutch I get that, Dutch! You can’t select the hashtag column and then click on the title of the track and drag it, you have to drag it from the number in the hashtag column.

            Good on you for sticking to the remedial brief Grant.
