As a DJ or music enthusiast, you're always on the lookout for new ways to organize and discover great music. That's where the Crate Hackers app comes in, with a brand new feature that lets you create custom playlists with ease. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to create your own Crate Hackers playlist, and export it to your Serato DJ software in no time.
Step 1: Create a new crate
To get started, open up the Crate Hackers app and create a new crate. Give it a name that reflects the type of music you want to include, such as "Party Mix" or "Summer Vibes".
Step 2: Search for a song
Now it's time to start building your playlist. Use the search function to find a song you want to include. For example, let's start with "No Hands" by Waka Flocka Flame.
Step 3: Add the song to your crate
Once you've found the song you want to include, click on it and select "Add to Crate". Choose the crate you just created, and the song will be added to your playlist.
Step 4: Get suggestions for similar songs
One of the coolest features of Crate Hackers is its ability to suggest other songs that pair well with the ones you've already added. Click on the "Suggestions" button to see a list of recommended tracks.
Step 5: Add more songs to your crate
As you browse through the suggestions, add any songs that catch your eye to your crate. You can mix and match genres and styles to create a playlist that's uniquely your own.
Step 6: Export your crate to Serato, M3U playlist or your favorite DJ program
Once you've finished building your playlist, it's time to export it to your favorite DJ program. Click on the "Export Crate" button and choose your destination. The app will automatically generate a file exported to your DJ Program or favorite M3U Playlist to be used in other programs that support M3U playlists.
Step 7: Save your own Crate Template to My Crates
Saving your work with the "Save to My Crates" allows you to save your own Crate Template just like the mixable Crates you can download from our Premade Crates that allow you to save and rescan against your personal Music library or download and add new music. Please note that this unique feature "Saves" your Crate Template and will automatically match your music to it each time as it is opened. If you want to save specifically selected tracks for this crate you must Export Crate to your favorite DJ program.
Step 8: Enjoy your new playlist!
Finally, open up your DJ Program and load your new crate. You'll have all your songs at your fingertips, ready to mix and match as you please. With Crate Hackers, creating custom playlists has never been easier or more fun.
In conclusion, Crate Hackers is an innovative app that simplifies the process of creating and organizing custom playlists. With its intuitive search and suggestion features, you can discover new music and curate the perfect playlist for any occasion. So give it a try, and let your creativity run wild!
