Twitter.dj in use

A couple of weeks ago I posted about twitter.dj which is a new way of totaly embrasing the social media experience while DJing. Posting all your played tracks continuesly and effortlessly to Twitter. Super easy to set up and super easy to use! I've been playing around with it for a couple of weeks now and it is a pretty cool tool.

Setting it up (On PC):

1. Install the software from www.twitter.dj
2. Set up Traktor Broadcast with following settings:


Click to make it full size

3. Authorize Twitter.dj with your Twitter account by writing the authentication code provided by Twitter.
PS: You can access the preferences by right clicking the Twitter.dj icon in your icon section on the task bar.

Tips:

1. Put ID tag information on all your tracks! Most tracks bought online come with ID tags, but ripped tracks or tracks that are downloaded illegaly will need to be properly named.
2. If you don't want to share a track name. Just write the title in another field like "comment 2" and write something else in the title and artist tags.
3. Remember that you can incorporate hash tags and user tags in your title/artist tags.
4. Use a display to show what you're playing when your performing! I use www.Twitterfall.com which is a OK way to show what's been posted to twitter. (Inputs are welcome!) Use advanced filter in Twitter to limit your output. (e.g. "from:username")

Look at live tracklists from around the world!

Richie Hawtin stopped by the guys at DJ Techtools to shoot the breeze and they got to talking about his newest inovation: Twitter.dj

A while a go Richie started broadcasting his sets live through twitter with this new application that he custom built for Traktor. I wanted this sooo bad and today is my lucky day!
As this was a very good idea he started branching out this idea to work as a platform for more DJs and twitter.dj was bourne. They've made this available for everyone to see and this will probably open up for some interresting new aspects of DJing and sharing.

Through the website you can browse through live sets all around the world at any time. I spent the last hour looking through and I think it's amazing to look at what people are playing at different countries at different times and see what other DJs in the area are playing.
It will get you some new tracks and ideas! LOVE IT!
Share the love and your tracklists.

The software is cross platform (Ableton, Traktor or Serato/PC or Mac) and is now available for everybody!
It comes with a very simple step by step manual and it's not that hard to set up.
On Traktor it uses the broadcasting capability to pick up the track info. It's not that hard to set up.


Download the software for Traktor here.
PS: It is currently in beta.
