Beatsource Streaming - Explicit Content (Icon?)

J. Spencer · 2023-08-13T16:25:01+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

When I used Beatsource in Rekordbox, there were two ways to identify a track as explicit or not. One was the "Mix Name" field and the other actually included an icon next to it.

Do we have any way to distinguish explicit/clean in Traktor? Right now, I've been having to go to the website and search, then add to a playlist before importing to know I've got the right version.

Hi @J. Spencer,

in Traktor, the 'Mix' field carries the info when track versions are clean.

Surprisingly, no -- that "p*ssy wet" line is "whole world" -- so that is the clean edit, despite saying Original.

I might need to do some additional research on this. Still, in RBDJ has a much more obvious visual flag that doesn't rely on the Mix column, which frankly I ignore when I'm working quickly.

But it's worth pointing out that "Good Life" is labeled Original Mix also, but as indicated on Beatsource, it's explicit. So inside Traktor it's not obvious.

Okay, but that's still not the best way. Some tracks are listed as "Original Mix" while others might say "Explicit Version" or "Clean" -- Other software (and even the Beatsource website) make it much more obvious.

For example, this same playlist on the Beatsource Website has an icon that shows 7 of these tracks are explicit:

The same playlist in TP3 seems to only indicates one of these tracks is Explicit:

Again, I know that there's a better visual indicator in a competing software, would just like to see it here in Traktor as well.

In general, if it's the Original Mix, it's explicit.

Which field does the right column on your screenshot show? Is it 'Mix'?

When you listen to "livin it up", which is not marked E or clean, does that version contain the words "p*ssy" "ho|e"?

Yes, that is the Mix column. It appears to me that it's pulling that a field next to the song title on Beatsource, but again, they clearly have another field that can identify it as Explict (even when the original recording).
