Lets Put Tracks into Folders Based on the Vibe CD Pool Club September 2019

0:00 What's the best way of making folders?

Right then, folders, folders, folders. But first of all we've got the club series CDPool September 2019. As usual check out the link in the description. Also if you want to be a new subscriber to the CDPool stable then check out in the description there is a promo code. If you use that promo code for the first time you get 50% off your first month's subscription. Anyway, check this out. Okay so people are always on about... How do you make folders? What's the best way of making folders? There are many ways of making folders, putting tracks in folders. You could class a folder in key, you could class a folder in genre, you could class a folder in style and so on. What I like to do is class folders based on the feeling I get. So I have written down here deep, happy and vibe. Now this is very simple.

Very simple to understand. The tracks by the way I'm playing are all in alphabetical order, but they are the Club Series September from CD Pull 2019. So all I'm going to do, I'm going to play snippets of each track or most or some of them, whatever. And then I'm just going to put down, you know, the track number. Does it make, is it got that deep vibe for me? Has it got a happy vibe? Or maybe, excuse me, it's actually vibey. Some kind of different energy. Now these folders are based on my feeling, how I feel, my interpretation of these tracks. Now this is the key for you as well because if you follow protocol everyone puts them in key, everyone puts house in house and deep house in deep house and hip hop in hip hop.

Then what you're ending up with is a folder, say in for example A1, for example. You could have a thousand tracks, house tracks in that folder. They may all, so long as the software has analysed them correctly, be in the same key but they won't necessarily be in the same vibe and energy. So by doing this, what it means is that when you form some kind of mix You can go into the deep folder and go, you know what? I need a couple of deep tracks now. And you know that they're all going to have that same vibe and energy. Even though they may be in different keys, they'll have the same vibe and energy. But it doesn't end there because if you've got a thousand tracks in the deep folder and you do indeed want to have them in keys, then guess what? Open up the deep folder and guess what? So long as you've analysed them, then you can have them in keys in the deep folder. Make perfect sense? Let's give it a go.

2:46 Track number two and do

Okay, so this is a track entitled Tonight. How does this make me feel? It makes me feel happy. It's got a happy kind of bounce to it. So I'm going to put T1 in my happy folder. Let's go to track number two and do the same thing again. Right, it's not deep, but it has got a certain kind of vibe to it. It's got energy. It's definitely not... Well, I suppose it is kind of happy as well. So, ooh, this is a tough one. Yeah, I'm going to put this in happy as well. Track two in the happy vibe. Okay, took a little bit of thinking there, but we know where we're going. Okay, track number three, always there, the VIP mix. Now, deep and happy are very close, but I'm going to put this in the deep vibe. So T3, that will be in my deep...

4:43 In my vibe folder, let's play a few more

The next one, Chris Willis, Lenny Fontana, Top of the World. Big shout out to Mr Lenny Fontana. Straight away, nice sort of energy with that beat. T4 is in my happy folder because it's got an uplifting vibe to it. This one here, Love Got You Extended Mix. Okay this has got vibe, this has got some form of kind of energy to it. In my vibe folder, let's play a few more. Track number six, Never Be Alone, the extended mix. Don't forget the club series as well, the sort of tunes you'd have, Ministry of Sound, Ibiza. You know, these aren't sort of your full-on big room, lots of energy, piano breaks and so on. They're more in sort of the, not the club, sorry, the dance series. These are a little bit more deep and the sort of tunes that you could happily sort of form some kind of mix for, let's say, a demo mix for a big nightclub somewhere. But again, it does depend on what nightclub genre and style. Forget what I said just then. Actually don't. Should I end this? No, sorry. Okay, Never Be Alone extended mix. Okay, I'm going to put this in vibe because it's got vibe.

Okay, it's definitely not deep, definitely not happy. It's got that kind of moody feel to it. Waiting VIP edit. Then Vibe, a happy feel but it's a little bit more moody. It's got that sort of like, it's not up there, hands in the air. It's that kind of chilled out feel. It's definitely not deep. So T7 in my Vibe folder. Okay, let's go, I don't know, just randomly choose drop the bass extended mix. This sounds interesting.

I'm going to put this in my deep folder, so T11.
