TOP DOWNVOTES JQBX SOFTWARE
In this video, I\’m repurposing a free software called JQBX (Juke-box) to help fitness instructors bypass sharing music through Zoom. If someone votes or stars your track, it will show up on your notifications.Įach room has a dedicated chat box where you can share your thoughts about music, life, or anything else. Many dance and fitness instructors notice the unavoidable and unpredictable music or video delay in Zoom (when sharing video and music together). When it's your turn the song at the top of your queue will play for everyone in the room. If you want to share a song, just click 'be a DJ' and you will be added to the list of DJ's in the room. Once you're in a room you can chat, DJ, listen or just kick back and enjoy the vibe. You can also pick the genre and invite friends to join. Rooms can be public or private and you get to decide how many DJ's can take turns playing music. You can create a room or join one that already exists. JQBX hooks into your Spotify account and is 100% free to use. I am not advocating for one style over another because both are fun, just comparing to how real DJ battles work.We believe music is better with friends! JQBX lets you be a DJ, join a party, or just kick back and listen to music with friends or strangers from all over the world in real time. Just depends on what route the rooms battling want to go. Downvotes could be used with this method. This takes away some bias and is more fair, but also takes away some of the crowdsourcing aspect of the battle.

The crowd responds in the chat as normal and judges use that to rate criteria #4 regardless of who’s in the room. If a tie, at a real battle usually crowd response settles it, or there is a tie breaker round.Įveryone doesn’t need to hear both plays this way, just the judges. Room with most overall points wins the battle. Each song is judged independently against criteria not against the other DJ. Scoring is done immediately after the track is played.
TOP DOWNVOTES JQBX PRO
Judges could be someone like JQBX Jason, and some folks from different rooms who don’t normally hang in the rooms battling.Īn example of how pro style could work on JQBX: Judges rate each criteria below on a 5 point scale (5 being tops).

For JQBX, it would be less of a popularity contest and takes away the bias of a vote because someone hates/loves the track. This method prevents a weak DJ from stacking the crowd and winning the cash.
TOP DOWNVOTES JQBX PROFESSIONAL
This is how professional DJ battles and battles for money work. To go this route, you select 3-5 judges, determine criteria and rate on a scale. Professional Style: A panel of industry judges rate each DJ on specific criteria. This is similar to the current JQBX thumbs up style.

Did the DJ get people on the dance floor and get the crowd pumped up and making noise? The round goes to the DJ with the most crowd response. I’ve been to some real analog DJ battles, so If you compare a JQBX DJ battle to a real analog DJ battle, there are basically 2 types of DJ battles.Ĭlub Style: Those that happen in a club where crowd response is the only criteria.
