vinnyt77 all good points. i think it’s a much different skill set than it was when everyone played records, i know it wasn’t the same for me.

    Changing the tempo settings to +/- 6 is a massive game changer for me - who knew?! Thanks @Amps.

    No drifting and was much easier and quicker getting things beatmatched properly - one positive I suppose is that it properly kept me on my toes before.

      Saw Ian Ossia at the last ever Renaissance at The Cross.

      He played b2b with Nigel Dawson all night and they were absolutely brilliant.

      Unbroken1 Also, and bizarrely, the colour when you have +/- 6 looks like some kind of warning that you’ve got it wrong.

        I’ve been mixing a lot yesterday and today. I honestly can’t believe the effect of the tempo settings. It’s so much more reliable and consistent - so much more enjoyable.

        Had grand ideas about a mix that meanders from about 110 through to 124 ish.

        Today just mixed between 118 & 124.

        Was liberating.

        Not what I want to do but probably a good way to learn.

        Steady lads you’ll be hitting the 130’s next. After that it’s full on nose bleed techno.

          My transitions are always roughly 200+, once I’ve expertly combined both bpms

              No worries.

              If you stick at it, you should have a moment where it all becomes second nature, like driving a car, you won’t even think about it, thats when you can start really having fun.

                I’ve searched high and low, but can’t work out how to re-order tracks in a playlist on Rekordbox - can anyone help a brother out?

                  In Serato DJ Pro you need to click on the hashtag line in the folder to re-arrange tunes. Not sure if its the same in Recordbox

                  Along_the_Wire …how do you mean re-order, you mean drag them into a different sequence, or have them go 99-1 rather than 1-99?

                  If it’s the latter, like Dutchy says you click the hashtag symbol at the top of the playlist and it should reverse the order.

                  As long as you are filtering via the number (ie. hashtag selected), you should be able to drag tracks into any order you like, but if you have a different filter criteria selected (BPM, Comments etc.), it won’t let you drag/reorder.

                  None of this necessarily reflects what you see on the CDJ/controller though, it’ll depend what search filter you have selected on there.
