Review: Mixed in Key Platinum Notes 4. By Markkus Rovito On Jul 16, 2013. Track preparation: the decidedly unsexy aspect of professional DJing that almost always pays off in the end. Yet your prep routine may be missing a step if you’re not using Platinum Notes. Start harmonic mixing with the #1 DJ tool in the world: Mixed In Key. Use it with your Serato, Traktor, Pioneer CDJs, rekordbox and Ableton Live.

Quote: I really don't get why you would want to 'Improve Your Audio Files' when you buy high quality digital music from known sources as Beatport or Juno. Even if you rip them yourself right from CD to a lost-less medium like flac or wav. This music is all mastered by professionals and sounds like the artist wanted it to sound. Why, besides corrections in the volume of the track, would you want to change it??

DJ-ing is all about slightly changing some dimensions of a music! Pideme Lo Que Quieras O Dejame Pdf Descargar on this page. Why channging gain, EQ? Why changing bpm and tempo at the end when professionals did it the best way??? Why applying FX?

Well, because you intend to mix different tracks, styles, and sometimes you need to change something to make more similar dimensions to make mixing smoother. Not everyone buys music from Beatport. Not everyone plays electronic music. Some of us are playing oldschool tracks, production was different few decades ago. We should fix that. And it souns better. Relax and enjoy the music.

Quote: is this thing converting a 320K mp3 to WAV, tweaking, then back to 320K? So it is, in essence, making an MP3 of an MP3 - totally counter to the idea of 'making it sound better'. It's like making a photo-copy of a photo-copy. One is only degrading the quality further. If someone has a very poor sounding MP3, then they need to re-rip their vinyl/CD and make any pertinent changes to the lossless file (Wav, Aiff, Flac, etc.) before converting to a lossy format (like an MP3). If a bad sounding MP3 was purchased, then seek out an alternate source or find a lossless version. Users recommending this for MP3s are doing the other members of this forum a great disservice.

Caveat emptor! Quote: It's like making a photo-copy of a photo-copy.

One is only degrading the quality further. Actually, you are right! It's not a photocopy of a photocopy because THE MOST of the non-audible info is removed when converted to mp3 the first time.

Then you convert back to wav and make improvements and second time when returning to mp3 you will lose SOME info again, but most of non-audible info is already lost and you can not lose it again;) So yes, second mp3 is worse than the first one, but not that much as photocopy of a photocopy. This is my opinion. At the end, DJs should be aware which 'generation' of mp3 they actually own and you can not be sure if you donwload from soulseek, you never know the history of the file, maybe some stupid reconverted it from 128 to 320, you never know. But, you can listen and as long as you like what you hear, you're on a good way. Quick Question: Is PN basically auto gain adjustments? Meaning I don't have to adjust the gain for different tracks, they would all be in the same range? Surprisingly, even tracks from record pools clip easily.

If this means I load up the next track and not have to worry about it being to low or high I would strongly consider. Nothing is worse then doing all the hard work, beat/phrase matching, then you slam on the next track expecting a dope reaction only to see energy level dissipate because the incoming track is either to low or is over powered.

Auto gain is one part. But according to their pages it's not just an across the board type thing. It's supposed to intelligently bring up stuff that is too quiet while tempering stuff that might be compressed and too loud. I mean honestly, if you're doing it to WAV and it works for you I say great since the source material isn't being recompressed, but to convert mp3 to some intermediate format (AIFF, WAV, whatever) tweak the dynamics of it, then recompress is where I would be too anal about bothering. I own PN 4.0 and can say YES and NO. It is perfect to refresh old tracks.

As wedding DJ I have often the challenge to switch between tracks where are 30 years or more in between. Here PN is just awesom. Never had a tool that made it so easy to adjust dynamic and volume differences!
