Navigating your music library Arguably the most important tool in a DJs box is their music collection. This is where all DJs plan their sets, choose their tracks during their sets, and edit playlists and track metadata, and an efficient library within DJ software makes a DJs life much easier. Unless you’ve been a keen collector of tunes over the years, you might find your library is a bit sparse of music. Don’t rush to fill it up… it’s important to slowly curate your collection over time so that it reflects your tastes and you know what you have. This…

I’m not a string player by any means, but I can pull up a string library – say Stradivari Cello – and create a cello section in my track. With such a large range of realistic-sounding sampled instruments, I’m able to create something and translate ideas pretty easily. Even piano, which is something I do play but don’t have the resources to record, becomes easier to bring into my productions. I think increased ability to experiment is also something that comes with modern production tools, which can help in furthering idea development. The one way in which I think these…

As I previously mentioned regarding the older Gentle Brass release, brass libraries don’t always sound authentic, and…
