I've been using the Pioneer DDJ-1000 controller for some time, and I'd like to switch to a laptop soon. Since I prefer to store my music externally to prevent overcrowding of the computer memory and to hang up on other devices. What should I get for it and will it work?
Will my hot cues be stored on the songs on the hard drive?
No, that will not work. Basically, most DJ software can also use data from external storage. The reading times are often too big. In addition, this results in the problem that you can't presort the library as usual. All this really only works reliably if the music library is also stored on the laptop.
Hot cues are stored in the metadata of the MP3s. In this respect it is possible to use tracks on other laptops that have already been prepared. But even that varies from software to software, so that a blanket statement is not possible here.
Thanks in advance, can you recommend me a laptop with about 2 TB memory is the affordable?
