It's definitely not free.

well did it use to be free?

see you gotta do some prep work,theres this shit called money you get in exchange for work, you can use this shit to exchange for goods and services. Now theres a middle step, you cant hand them the money so youll need to take this money to a financial institution and get a "credit card" this piece of plastic has a unique code # that you can use to magically give this "money" to people in far off lands. Now pick out what yo want for the site but make sure the numbers add up to <= what you earned. Then just download rinse and repeat

fuckin socialsts

Wow dude you dont gotta be mean, i was asking because i saw a bunch of forums here it said things like "its technically free" and things like that relating to crooklyn clan

that wasnt mean, thats was a well thought out and thourough answer to your question! Your welcome :)

No.they are free after you paypal them 3.99!

lol!

they are free. you just dont get it

at least thats what someone told me.

i thought they were all free except for safsdre tracks those are EXCLUSIVE

When you play a wackass CC track, you pay with your soul. Oh, and they are not free.

Hahahaha wtf someone was fucking with you! It's never been free Dj music is not free!

"Also they emphasized dozens of times that those tracks are for free. So technically, assuming everything is true what they said, there shouldnt be any legal issues with allen's idea."

i know DJ music isn't free, i usually get my music off of beatport for the sound quality, however, i know it is kinda overpriced

your missing the point, the "rules" of crooklyn clan are that you are NOT to purchase a track you dont already own, your paying for them to remix, mashup, and generally destroy the tracks you SHOULD already own not the tracks themselves, is this BS yes of course but thats where your misunderstanding the comment. Your supposed to ALREADY own the tracks your purchasing so technically they are free

Thats completely retarded!! who would buy shit from there! So basically i have to PAY for someone to do what i do for free!?!?!

thats where the TECHNICALLY comes into play lol

i dont mean to sound like im cheating at DJing but i really need some bpm transition tracks, which i heard could be bought at crooklyn clan.....i just didnt know it was gunna be 4.00$ per transition >.> id rather make my own in FL

i wouldnt say it was cheating (hides from dj jd) but youd get more out of it by learning to make your own (advanced tip: crowds hate transition tracks lol)

dam bro if you cant pay any where from 99 cents to $6 bucks a track you might want to find a different hobby. dj is not a cheap hobby.

Well, im only 14 and its not about how much money because i have a Ns7FX and a Vestax VCI-380, both of which are expensive controllers and i also have a vinyl setup, its more of the principle of spending 4 dollars per track, plus its hard to get a gig as a dj when you arent old enough to dj in a bar and most clubs, meaning i make very little profit.

yup saw that one commin

damn bro i got cartridges older than you

hey isn't it good to start early? ;)

props to ya lil homey....but instead of crooklyn try learning different mixing techniques or more importantly making your own, youll thank me later. Good luck!!!

hell yeah.think about a lemonade stand,lawn mowing,paper route etc. you'll be beatbreakering in no time

Well thats what ive been doing for the past four years....i JUST learned about crooklyn clan today and do not intend on using it very often.

haha yeah, selling hand made light and speaker systems sounds more fun, i sell lots of that stuff to the ravers and other djs at my school

score.so wait til cc's next 99 cent sale and go bananas! good luck grasshopper!

hahahaha thanks dude.

+1

$0.99 still too much.

If that's how he feels about paying $4 per track, he's lucky he lives in the tech age of mp3 djing... He'd crap his pants if he had to buy vinyl doubles of each track he wanted. Talk about it getting expensive quick... Now THAT took $ and dedication!

this times 1000

I beg to differ... if your a smart DJ and use them SPARINGLY & SMARTLY within your night, they can be an effective tool. I only rotate between a handful of ones anyway, & am kinda picky when it comes to selecting one out of a bunch, because yes, a lot of them are wack.

I still feel agrieved at paying 18 queens heads for doubles of Lil Kims The Jump Off!...what the eff was I thinking!

I don't feel s bad buying them since it was a white label, don't remember what was on the flipside. Instrumental still bangs.

A lot of their edits are free, your not looking hard enough.

Yep. Thats why I bought them. Nearly smashed my TT's up when I heard her "spit" over the track though lol

ay
same with Fatman Scoop shit.
yep

I was waiting for bezzle to drop safsdre. that was the funnies thread ever by far

HELL NO!! safsdre cant take a f'n joke last time i mentioned his name he cut me off the email blast fpr a month....i damn near lost my residency without his remixs and edits!!!

lol lol lol

You are not paying for the actual tracks (since its illegal to sell copyrighted material similar to mixtapes). What you are "actually" paying for is the labor the DJs put into edit those tracks, its like a donation of sorts since they invest money on programs to make those remixes...

Hope that helps

Smiles and farts are free. Everything else costs money.

I was gonna say the same thing! The instrumental is dope.

Wow 14 with all that gear? U must be a rich kid tell your mommy and daddy for Christmas you want a 1,000 gift card So u can go on line and buy a bunch of cool music to use with your gear.

naw i already asked for an mpc 500. btw im jewish so its Hanukkah

^^^ SMH

Music should be your number 1 investment first and foremost to make you a good DJ... not your gear.

Cant knock somebody who's parents have money. Thats not his problem and he is blessed but that doesnt mean you shouldnt show respect for the craft and learn how to handle it from people who have skill and knowledge. Buying good music is very important. I try to buy wav as much as possible and high quility mp3. It makes a difference.

kids like you will grow up with bunch of haters, means u will get jacked for your shit by some hood gangstas, lol

oh im sorry did i forget to say that i learned how to dj on a vinyl setup
im not one of those "press play" djs, i just wanted some transitional tracks from crooklyn clan beacuse im not very good at transitioning between far apart bpm's
i hate when people are so quick to judge.....

I'm not someone on that's hating on you or judging you. I'm giving you solid advice for you to become a good DJ and last in this game. I have nothing to hate on... I'm not lacking on quality equipment, so it's not an envy thing. My advice regarding music is irrefutable when it comes to DJing. You may have the best equipment, and may have learned on vinyl, (which in itself doesn't make you a good DJ), but unless you spend the time and money on a quality library of music, you'll be a sub-par DJ... fact. Just trying to help out by giving my opinion... and you don't have to take my advice. But you did come on a forum for help, so I offered my viewpoint. And you'll find that even though some of the comments seem harsh, the reality of not taking those statements into account are much harsher in the real world when you're out there spinning at gigs... and you'll end up thinking "I should have listened..."

i understand, thank you for the helpful advice :) by the way do you know any tracks that are per say......must haves? any genre is fine :)

That's too broad of a question. It's going to depend on the genre of music you spin, what kind of events/gigs, where you spin and for what demographic, and your own personal style. Club bangers in California may not work for a sweet 16 party in New York, or a wedding in Nebraska. This is why I say music is the number one skill to be learned by anyone DJing... Being able to read a crowd and having the knowledge of music to know how to program a set is something that comes with experience... Just keep at it and eventually it comes together... practice in anything makes perfect!

yeah.....well im in LA, i spin electro house, dubstep, rap and hip hop
i play for younger ages which like rap and some hip hop

If your core audience is younger, just check the charts... look at the must plays of radio stations. That's a good start.

Well if u already know what type of music u spin look at the charts like someone else said. As far as must have there's tons !
