![]() Try setting the Mood, Vocal, and Set Time fields, for starters. Once done, you’ll find that Beatport has filled out some of the attribute fields for you on the right sidebar such as the right genre (according to Beatport, anyway), the song’s key as well as the proper BPM, however we suggest that you go even further and fill out the other attributes: Doing so lets you filter and search for a very narrow slice of your music library, letting you get very track-specific when you need to. Trying a new music library system is a bit like moving house – what’s the point in throwing all your junk in boxes and bringing it with you when you can use the exercise as an excuse for rationalising as you go along? Filling out fields It’s a bit time consuming, and this is partly the reason why I recommend that you start out with a handful of songs in the beginning. Note that this is not an automated process and you’d still have to pick out the title that matches your track, so don’t expect any “batch” processing of sorts where you can leave Beatport Pro to fetch all your data for your songs. That way, you don’t have to deal with removing duplicate songs (which could take hours) and erroneous files.Ĭlicking “Sync with Beatport” lets you interface with the Beatport Store where you can download metadata information for your track as well as the related album art. When you’re just starting out with Beatport Pro, the best way to get acquainted with it is to start with a small batch of songs. Selecting a track brings up its attributes on the right sidebar, along with a host of characteristics that you can fill in so that you can use them to filter them out later. Here I’ve created a rather generic “EDM” playlist, but it’s good enough to start. That’s what I did, and here’s how I got on… Starting outĪ great way to get familiar with the way Beatport Pro works is to create a playlist which you can populate with a handful of tunes. Unless you’ve been religious in keeping your tunes organised, you probably have a lot of duplicates as well as broken files that you don’t want imported, so instead of getting frustrated with having to clear all of these out, I’d say start small. PLEASE REPORT posts and comments that violate the above rules or just suck.While it’s possible to sync your entire iTunes Library with Beatport Pro so you have access to all your songs immediately, I think the best way to get acquainted with the software would be to process chunks of music at a time.
