Not sure you need to do it by dragging on the actual track number in Serato - sorry mate no idea how Recordbox works
Not quite mixing but I want to change the file metadata (specifically Genre) on my music so that it matches my folders.
Then, when I import into Rekordbox the Genres will match what I have them filed as.
Will help me organise and create playlists
Anyone know anything I can use to do this without editing each file individually on a Mac?
Anyone here use Mixed in Key SW with their standard DJ SW?
Seems a bit like overkill to use both Rekordbox & Mixed in Key, given RB has it’s own key ID system.
Having said that, I’m keen on anything that can make my mixes less unpleasant, would be interested to hear any experiences of using both (or with Traktor etc…) and whether there’s any advantage?
Nice one.

I use it. Massive hassle but it’s very useful. Sometimes it can get it really wrong tho, so I’d only recommend using it for djing once you’ve hit a dead end when hunting for a tune for a mixtape.
Cheers Zack. Interesting you say it’s a massive hassle, that’s something that isn’t mentioned in their promo material
Rekordbox is solid in my view, but the odd mistake is easily recognisable
Mad_Cyril It may be simplified by record box and tractor, but thats just a guess. I use ableton to dj, and there is no seamlessness between that and mixed in key. I color code all of my tunes to match the Camelot Wheel, which makes it easier, once I’ve gone through the initial process of loading, reviewing, and editing all of the tunes in Live.
I don’t disagree. At the same time, I feel almost obligated to use it bc I am djing with ableton. Once the beat matching is taken out of the equation I feel compelled to do more with the available time.
Along_the_Wire I’m not sure if we discussed drifting bpm on the RX2. Its still on the XZ but apparently you need too analyse the tracks in normal not dynamic mode. dynamic mode is apparently for live drum/analogue recordings.
apologies if this is not something we have discussed!!!!
baggers44 Nice one - I shall make that adjustment. Not set up the XZ yet as I’ve been away, but glad you’ve mentioned that - I’d be well fucked off with the drifting
baggers44 I had it on normal already
Mad_Cyril If you arent playing out to a crowd, then just get creative for now, play tunes that you think sound good together, get involved with interesting transitions and the like, worry less about the key and aim for interesting. You can worry about the key stuff once you start to get a bit more advanced or ambitious. Remember, you can pitch shift tracks if you need them to fit, but things like chord progressions, bass lines, miss matched percussions, clashing vocals etc can stop two tunes going together as much as key.
