Transfering crates from external to internal drive

[MrDjdtime]

My question is how can I get all the music off of my computer and transfer it onto my external and set it up that way in order to free up some space.

[SeratoTutor]

@MrDjdtime - See my other video on how to transfer from internal drive to external drive.

[MrDjdtime]

Hi I have a mac book pro 13" and i have just about about 5500 songs and it seem like my mac is running out of space. Everyonce in a while I get a message that says 'Your start up disk is full". I've noticed that my buddy that's also a DJ has at least 98% of all his music organized onto his external hard drive. It's organized in a way that as soon as he plugs his hard drive onto his laptop all his crates are already set up the way he wants it.

thank you mate ill let you know how i get on. Just ordered my new hard drive. Wish me luck :)

[DjClarksta]

main reason i need to do all this is because i have all my music on my external but im going to upgrade my mac with a 500gb harddrive. i am going to copy everything on this hard drive to the new 1 and then do what you do in your video. will this work? Your help is much appreciated

[DjClarksta]

ok i see. Next thing is that i dont have a music file in my mac. i did a search for _scrachlive_ but i dont have this but i did find _serato_ on my computer so is this the folder i need. it looked like it had the same things in as your folder (_scrachlive_).

[SeratoTutor]

@DjClarksta - Serato changed to the _Serato_ folder format now in 2.2 plus. It's the same as the old ScratchLIVE / _ScratchLIVE_ folders. Just do everything as shown in the video with the _Serato_ folder(s) now.

[DjClarksta]

I noticed that when you finished and loaded the tracks that the waveforms did not load up instantly. Does this mean you have to re anaylize every track again?

[SeratoTutor]

@DjClarksta - No, most of these were new files that I didn't build overviews/analyze before. You won't need to reanalyze the files if you built overviews on them before.

[okunlolafabunmi]

This doesn't work on 2.2, does it? i tried it and ended up with a shitload of duplicate crates and missing files everywhere

[djkaramel80]

can u do the same for video?

[LcancerA]

dude... you are the fucking MAN!!! I followed your instructions to the letter and all my music transferred without a problem and with all the inserted cue points and loops!!! thanks bro!!!

[djaward]

Serato tutor, I have a new mbp. Got it in may. Im having trouble transferring music from the MBP to an external. I know you made a video but you made it by using a PC.. Do you have a video that shows how to do it on a mac? the problem Im having is that the folders dont add up. Theres 5,100 songs in my internal, but when I transfer theres only 5,000 songs why? and everytime I drag and drop, it gives me an error that it has to stop. Please hit me up. Thanks.

I've got a question that's different to this video, but I want to know if there's ways to quick find songs on an external hard drive say when someone requests a song on serato live. I also find all your other videos very informative, cheers

[Ginjrbread]

Thanks so much bro. you answered my question and i've been looking for a while now.

Just copy/repace the SCRATCHLIVE and SCRATCHLIVEBACKUP folders to your "MY MUSIC" folder. That's where Serato looks for the crates & subcrates.

You're the man!!!

[DjCraigDalzell]

Great vid mate.....sorted!!

[jesusholdon]

how did you get the temperature and rpm speed on the top bar?

[SeratoTutor]

It's a small program called SMC FanControl

[alfonso704]

Thanx i used both videos from iternal to external and this 1. i just upgraded to MBP 13.

[leke008]

Thanks for your reply but I dont think it will worl because it wants me to replace it. I have one other question I have two external drive plug to my mac but it takes forever to load any tip?

[leke008]

Please is there away to combine scratchlive folders into one?

[SeratoTutor]

Sort of, just add the crate files from one ScratchLIVE folder into the Subcrate folder of the other ScratchLIVE folder. Then use the relocate lost file option to find the files. This will essentially combine both libraries.

[djbrandonr]

good info but wanted to make sure. This should work the same when going from pc to mac and vice versus right? Cuz Im trading libraries with a friend and we both dont wanna re sort everything. Just dont copy the v2 file on both ends right? THX

[mexikanman]

Konix, this just saved my life. Thanks for the video.
