Im from Brazil . My name is Diego  ( Fkk Eventos) . Thank you very much Nicole !

Very explicit thank you so much ☺️🙏🏾

Questions? But, first off thanks for the detailed help!   1. I noticed you didn&#39;t drag you&#39;re serato back up file but then when you added the new serato file to the new laptop, there was a serato back up in the hard drive. Did you add that later from your laptop or was it created automatically by the hard drive?  2. If I don&#39;t want to add my music folder to the new laptop and just want to work my music off of the hard drive, how do I make Serato play music from the hard drive since I didn&#39;t add it to the laptop? Thanks again!

The Architect Of Sound: Nicole, I have been a DJ in NYC since 1976, so I always try to embrace anyone who is resilient enough to continue the trend. Blithe optimism about the ecosystem is what cajoles me to reach the pinnacle of my success.

Hello Nicole, I use to have a dj service from 1989 to 1996. Times sure has changed. Thinking about getting back into the business. Is there a service where I can access packs of music, sort of like the old record pools. I want to concentrate in these following genre&#39;s, (gospel, Jazz, and oldies.

Question if you drop new songs in all crate where does it go because songs have different BPM and Keys

Thanks for these little tips, I have a lot of music in my serato and I do feel I’m becoming overwhelmed with them all, also I’m thinking off getting mixed in key, any thoughts on that?

Thanks for video. Is there a way to separate BPM Supreme, BPM Supreme Latino in download? Thanks. Also to clarify you place all music in BPM SUPREME folder on desktop, thanks separate in folders in Serato? Got some much music and run across yellow folders.
