- Digital DJ Pool is an online record pool
that has a great selection of music,
and has some really cool features
that separates it from
the other record pools
that you can find online.
that you're looking for.
Features like a really useful mobile app
that allows you to search for music
when you're away from your computer
as well as daily updated charts
that help you stay on top of new releases.
So in this video, I'll go
through the features of
Digital DJ Pool, then give you
my thoughts on it at the end.
Now, if you're interested in more reviews
of online record pools,
just like this one,
or more DJ tips and tricks videos,
make sure you subscribe to the channel.
Now, let's get into the
features of Digital DJ Pool.
online record pools allow DJs access
to thousands of tracks to
add to their collection
at a flat monthly fee.
Not only can you find tracks that are
at the top of the charts,
but most online record pools
have DJ-friendly edits,
many of which are exclusive
to each record pool.
Digital DJ Pool looks
to separate themselves
by providing their
service at a cheaper price
and including features that aren't found
on other online record pools.
It's priced cheaper than some of the other
popular online record pools,
such as DJcity and BPM Supreme.
They even offer a trial for just $1,
which is a great way for DJs
that aren't sure if the
monthly subscription
for Digital DJ Pool is worth the money,
to at least give it a try.
Even at its competitive price,
Digital DJ Pool includes
thousands of tracks
that span a wide variety of genres,
from hip-hop, to deep house, to reggaeton,
that should service the
majority of DJs out there.
search feature is something
that even the most expensive
online record pools do not get right.
Thankfully, the search
feature on Digital DJ Pool
has some of the most
options, and is easy to use.
You are not only able to
do a normal keyword search,
but you are able to filter it further,
by genre, BPM range, or even key.
Once you've found the songs
that you want to add to your collection,
you have the option to either
download them immediately,
or add them to your crate.
The crate is handy when you are looking
to add a bunch of tracks at once,
and gives you a place to bookmark
all the tracks that you've found.
So, once you're done with your search,
you can download them all in one shot.
Besides using the search function
to find tracks that you're looking for,
most online record pools have
a trending tracks or top charts.
Now, most record pools update their charts
and trending tracks on a monthly basis.
Digital DJ Pool takes this a step further
by updating their charts on a daily basis.
These charts are separated by genre.
So, not only finding the newest song,
but songs that fit your
style, is an easy task.
Digital DJ Pool takes the
idea of trending tracks
even further by adding a
social media component.
You're able to follow other
members of the record pool
and see which tracks that they're liking.
Now, after following a few DJs,
your feed will be populated by live tracks
by the DJs that you've decided to follow.
This helps to give a more
personalised record pool
experience by providing
recommendations based on
DJs that you relate to music-wise.
It's a different type of community aspect
that I wish more record pools included
after using Digital DJ Pool.
One feature that's becoming
popular with the larger
online record pools is the
inclusion of the mobile app.
Now, the usefulness of a mobile app will
vary from record pool to record pool.
And I can confidentially say that the
Digital DJ Pool mobile app is
definitely worth the download.
Not only do you have the ability to listen
to all the tracks available
on the record pool,
but you can then save them to your crate
to download them once you
get back to your computer.
Another uncommon feature
of the mobile app,
for all the portablists and
turntablists out there,
is the inclusion of a looper.
Now, the looper contains plenty of tracks
at all different tempos that are perfect
for long scratch practise sessions.
It's a feature that I was surprised
to see on a record pool mobile app.
It shows Digital DJ Pool's
commitment to serving
all different types of DJs.
While all of these features
make Digital DJ Pool
an overall great experience,
it isn't perfect.
Now, the biggest issue I
have with Digital DJ Pool,
is the way their music
releases are formatted.
Instead of combining the
different versions of the song,
clean, dirty, intro,
into one listing on the record pool,
they're split into separate listings.
Now, I don't expect this to be the case of
any kind of remix or DJ edit of a track,
but for things like
clean and dirty versions,
it helps to tidy up the record pool
by keeping these all in the same listing.
If you're scrolling through
the New Music section
looking for new tracks to
add to your collection,
this double posting can take
up some unnecessary time.
Another shortcoming of Digital DJ Pool is
the lack of songs added to the record pool
that include intro versions.
Now, I first learned
about online record pools
after seeing more and more DJs
use intro versions of songs.
I became curious where
they would find these
different versions of songs.
And only after having
the heart to finally ask,
I learned that these came
from online record pools.
Now, intro versions of
songs are not a necessity,
but are really helpful,
especially for beginner DJs.
They not only make beat mixing easier,
by giving you more time to mix,
but also teach proper phrasing,
which is even more important.
So if your reason for
joining an online record pool
is to find these types
of DJ edits with intros,
maybe this pool might
not be the one for you.
Overall, I enjoyed my
experience with Digital DJ Pool.
or are clearly aimed at
certain types of DJs.
And the wide variety of music
that Digital DJ Pool has
and its intuitive search
made it really easy
to find new music and also
helped me find new tracks
that I wouldn't have found otherwise
if it wasn't for this record pool.
Also, I really enjoyed the
social networking aspect
of Digital DJ Pool.
Being able to see what other DJs
that have a similar style of playing
gives a different perspective than
just the top charts or trends list
that you see on other online record pools.
The way that following
DJs and record labels
personalises your feed
makes discovering new music
a more enjoyable and almost
addictive experience.
Digital DJ Pool is a great
value for an online record pool.
The combination of price
point, variety of music,
and social aspects makes
for an online record pool
that I could see myself
consistently using in the future.
It may not include all the
custom versions of songs
such as DJ intro edits,
but it makes up for it
with all the other
features that it provides.
So, if you're looking into
your first record pool,
or adding another record
pool to fill the gaps
that your current
subscriptions may be missing,
Digital DJ Pool is a great choice.
And now we send it off to you.
