3rd Edition - Plus, Beyond ChatGPT: AI Hacks for Mobile DJs training

Welcome to the 3rd edition of The Future DJ, the official eNewsletter of Crate Hackers! We’re bringing you the BEST news and tech breakthroughs that DJs need to stay on top of so that you have no AI fomo, no VR fomo, no gear FOMO or any other kind of DJ FOMO. We’re starting with our current Crate Hackers members and then going broader. Hope you enjoy!

Meta AI has just dropped Voicebox. This isn't just any old AI model, it's the first of its kind that can generalize to speech-generation tasks it wasn't specifically trained for, and it's doing it with state-of-the-art performance.

Imagine an AI that can create high-quality audio clips in a variety of styles, from scratch or by modifying a sample it's given. That's Voicebox! It's like a digital audio wizard that can synthesize speech across six languages, remove noise, edit content, convert styles, and generate diverse samples.

Of course, the AI Doomers are crying about this… But this excites us because imagine being able to create content in multiple languages (Spanish, French, even Chinese) after you upload your video to Meta. Wild!

Twitch Gets Their Shxt Together & Will Pay Out 70% of Subscription Revenue to Qualifying Streamers (2 min read)

  • Twitch is launching a new program called Partner Plus, which will increase the percentage of subscription revenue that streamers earn to 70%, with Twitch retaining the remaining 30%. The standard revenue split offered by Twitch to streaming partners is 50%.

  • This is probably a move to help combat some rising competitors like Kick.com which reached 1M active users in March.

BIG News: Jason Jani’s Crates are now available to ALL Members

Crate Hackers is celebrating our 3rd anniversary this month (mark your calendars - we’re properly celebrating on Thurs, July 13th on Twitch) and we’re going to be making a ton of noise as we come up to Crate Hackers 4.0 launch at the end of August (Thurs, Aug 31st).

As part of this, we have a BIG announcement from Jason Jani - you will now have access Jason Jani’s crates (like his wedding opener set).

Note: Current Jani VIP members paying $10/mo will be phased out shortly but you’ll still keep access to all the crates you paid for. Basically, you’ll no longer have to pay an additional $10/mo. 😀 

Plus, we just announced that you’re also getting access to Justin the DJ crates (specializes in weddings & corporate ragers) and Miguel Mixx crates who is the official tour DJ for Jory Boy (who has a song with Bad Bunny - ‘nuff said).

Aaron Traylor, co-founder of Crate Hackers, shares tips and tricks on organizing DJ crates in software like Serato, Rekordbox, and Virtual DJ.

He emphasizes the importance of having a well-structured crate system and highlights the use of numerical ordering and master genres with hashtags.
