NasserAlazzawi ugh I accidentally hit the thumbs button so now I feel compelled to reply now. I haven’t seen the video, but I can see Pioneer ending up reminiscing with Technics somewhere down the line. Blue chip products but demand doesn’t match supply.

LOL. 7 minutes well saved then 
So whats the cheapest way to unlock performance mode on Rekordbox by buying a controller?
I want to do some practicing before I play on the XDJ-RZ im using at this party in Portugal, so my plan was to get a crappy Pioneer controller just to get used to the software. New or second hand. Any recommendations?
Other options I have are (a) just export to USB/HD and use like CDJs or (b) hook up Traktor via a 3rd party mapping and see how that goes….read some far from positive reports going down that route though.
Hi mate, I’d buy a used DDJ-400, practise on it, and sell it on. It has all the basic features to mix with, plus your hot cues. When you set them on rekordbox during performances, if you export songs to the USB after, the hot cues go with you and appear on the big pads on the XDJ-XZ.
DDJ-400 unlocks performance mode.
I connected my XDJ-XZ last night to rekordbox 7.01 (in Export Mode) and a button popped up asking if I wanted to register the product for hardware unlock. This didn’t happen on 7.0 so it looks like they’ve simplified HW unlock with a detection / OK button!
Cool - Ebay here I come !
NasserAlazzawi Cheers for the heads up. will give that a go.
Anybody else experiencing the tracks clipping (I don’t mean distorting, sort of like buffering) while playing in export-mode? I listen to everything I buy in Rekordbox in export-mode, and it’s driving me nuts. Sure the laptop is old, but this only started with 7.0. Same with the latest update.
Homegrove I’m not getting that but if I listen to anything on Bluetooth earphones its horrible. I’m currently organising my collection on 6.7.5 as I like to use my earbuds for that.
Actually come to think of it, I did get stuttering when I had the following happening
It stopped after that. RB6 doesn’t have this issue, they will fix it.
NasserAlazzawi hope they do. My old laptops (music and regular use) are both still working great, but I hope to get another year out of both. Will have to replace both when Windows 10 support stops in October of 2025. Neither of mine are eligble for an upgrade due to their age.
Also stuttering is the right term, thank you.

NasserAlazzawi yeah, didn’t help. Having an old Windows laptop is probably not helping.
Homegrove get yourself a MacBook Pro and all your problems will slip away, H
Along_the_Wire yeah, can’t justify the price to myself. A 2024 model Windows laptop will have to do.
