What's going on hackers?

In today's video, I'm gonna show you how to use ChatGPT to level up your DJ game.

Now if you're not familiar with ChatGPT, it's a language learning

model that has exploded on the internet over the past six months.

So far it's helped out DJs with song selection and crowd interaction.

And the best part is it's all done with a natural language learning approach,

which is really key in a tip I'm about to share with you that will revolutionize

the way you handle tech going forward.

A lot of the talk online is that artificial intelligence is good

for techies and computer nerds.

AI is for everyone, especially DJs.

First, let's talk about how ChatGPT can help you with song selection.

We all know the right song can make or break a set, but sometimes it's

hard to find the perfect track, and that's where ChatGPT comes in.

Simply tell it what kind of vibe you're looking for, and it's gonna suggest a

couple songs that match your criteria.

You can even ask it to suggest songs based on the mood of the crowd.

Or the time of the day.

It's kind of like having a personal DJ assistant.

So for example, got a gig coming up, it's a bar mitzvah.

And just to get started, I told 'em I need 10 songs that

we have to have in our crate.

And what I'm noticing already is that it's pretty spot on.

Songs l ikely we already have.

And take note, certain tracks are a little bit older.

Now, here's one of the current issues we're dealing with

at the time of recording.

We are going off of data that you've fed the internet up until 2021.

Now, I'm sure this will change some day where ChatGPT and the internet will

soon intersect for real time analytics.

But at the moment we're looking at a chart that looks to me like

songs from about that time period.

Still not bad

you're looking through your contract and you realize uhoh, it's not a

Bar Mitzvah, it's a Bat Mitzvah.

So is there any change in maybe the playlist that ChatGPT can help us with?

Let's see.

Okay, so sure enough, check this out.

Leans a little bit more female

All right, now, this one is absolutely crazy and a little bit creepy.

I've got this client this weekend I know nothing about, and so I decided

to take as much data as I could find about the person and copy and paste

in the ChatGPT and help me decide.

what songs they might actually like.

So what I did as an example, was I went over to my personal Facebook

page and I copied everything.

The first feed, whatever I could grab, select all copy,

paste, and then I told it.

I'm giving you a feed from Facebook for a client that I'm DJing for

this weekend, and I want to know what kind of music they like.

If you were to guess what is this man's top 10, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I've paste it all here and, okay, so here's what it said.

Based on the limited information provided is difficult to determine.

Aaron Traylor's top 10 music preferences.

And then it starts to say, okay, it nailed that.

I do enjoy electronic dance music.

So possibly techno house music.

Yes.

I just upgraded my DJ studio.

Yes I did.

By the way, the video is from last week.

Hit the card right here.

And sharing information about DJ Dan.

Yes, I'm opening up for DJ Dan in July.

This is nuts.

Now, you could probably get a little bit more out of it if you

got some more out of your client.

By doing a little bit of stalking, we've pretty much figured out

what kind of music I like.

I'd be curious to see what kind of music you are into.

Maybe I'll stalk you next.

This is crazy.

ChatGPT is revolutionizing customer service as well.

Now, I want you to think about this from a point of view of talking to a

client, a promoter, venue owner, but in my situation, I was having a really

mysterious issue with the road caster pro.

There was an echo feeding back to the audience.

Every time I played like a YouTube video or something.

So my normal instinct was to text a friend,

but I do that too much and I don't wanna annoy them.

I don't wanna be that kind of friend.

Right.

Always asking for favors.

Then you would go to maybe Reddit.

And you suffer this slings in arrows of being called a noob or shot

down, so you don't want to go there.

The Crate Hacker's private group.

We foster a, "Any Question is the Right Question" policy, so you can

fire away in there, even still going into our private group, we're seeing

less and less questions because people are starting to realize that.

If you can feed ChatGPT, your problem, it's going to solve

everything step by step.

So I was saying to ChatGPT that I was having echo issues

with my Rodecaster2 podcast.

You can see here on the screen, and I copy and pasted a ton of blogs and articles

and I said, just summarize it for me.

For starters, it gave me everything summarized in bullet points,

which is the format I love.

I recommended a few issues, and then I started asking the dumb questions

that I would've been embarrassed to ask my friend or a private group.

I even said something like, I'm afraid that this will make changes

if I mess up my current settings.

Will you walk me through it on how to make selections to reflect that change?

And it said sure.

I'll be happy to help you.

I was even talking to it saying, I am a dummy to this.

Can you walk me through it step by step?

Again, it's another one of those tools that you can use if you

ever feel uninspired or stuck.

And while Chat GPT is just getting started, the Crate Hacker's software

h as been doing its own little language learning along the way.

Let me show you how the Crate Hackers software is using artificial

intelligence to help you find the next hit song to mix faster.

Now with the brand new version of Crate Hackers, you can type in any

song and it gives you recommendations note the key and energy match and

tempo lock, meaning that any of these songs will be a perfect match.

We crank up the popularity to over 60% and above.

Ensuring that every track you push play on next will be recognizable by the audience

And with metrics like energy and dance, ability and mood,

it's a near sure fire way of keeping the party moving.

We're also using artificial intelligence inside the Stems Matcher.

Beta version.

This compliments new software innovations from Serato Virtual DJ

and Rekordbox finding songs to mix with stems has become so much easier

Now that you can filter by genre.

And all the other metrics we were talking about earlier,

The point is,

If you can use a combination of these tools in your everyday life,

you truly can be the best you can be, which is exactly what Crate

Hackers strive for every day.

And if you enjoy little hacks like this, please subscribe.

We're just getting this YouTube channel started.

They say that you gotta do your first 100 videos to get a feel for it and then

really find out what the audience wants.

So I'm asking if you watch this video all the way through and you're enjoying

stuff like this, drop a comment.

Let me know you're out there and if you want more videos like

this, you know exactly what to do.

Thanks everyone.

I'm Aaron.

Happy hacking.
