IndustryStandard Tidal on a hired XDJ RZ i’m going to have to hook it up via USB cable and pay for a performance subscription
Negative, the XDJ-XZ is a hardware unlock for Performance Mode so you just need to take your laptop, rekordbox, put rekordbox in performance mode and log that into tidal.
baggers44 message https://rekordbox.com/en/support/contact/ but my first idea would be that you are clicking something wrong.
I’d be going
I assume all the music is in there too rather than just the playlists or you’ll need to move your mp3/wav music files into exactly the same series of folders that it was in on the other laptop (i.e. c:\yourusername\music\dance or wherever you had it).
baggers44 I had a similar issue, can’t remember the resolution, but Pioneer help were excellent and surprisingly quick
NasserAlazzawi the zip just opens to a folder…..yes the music is there. will try support - cheers
Fixed it - just ran it again and it worked- weird!! thanks chaps
Anyknow know how hardware unlock works with CDJs? I’ve got everything all plumed into the same network and can see the tracks from my laptop/rekordbox from the CDJ screens, but the app says it’s still in “trial” mode?
Do I actually need to do somthing in order for it to register the software?
CDJ-3000 are hardware unlock. 2000nxs2 and earlier arent. Neither are any XDJ-1000.
Makes no sense to include 3000s and not the older models but you’re also not likely to use those in performance mode on any of the above models - just to manage the library and make USBs really.
Full list of hardware unlock here.
If I had CDJs and wanted to activate hardware unlock, I’d rather buy a used RB-DMX1 for automatic lighting control or DDJ-XP1 / DDJ-XP2 for DVS control (so you can run turntables but use rotary knobs and buttons for controls and efx off to the side). Then I’d have some benefit, and not be paying a subscription. I already have the above kit but the XZ unlocks it anyway.
There is also a Pioneer Interface 2 that creates DVS capability where a controller or mixer didn’t already have it.
mono-stereo Do I actually need to do somthing in order for it to register the software?
If you have the CDJ-3000 you can register under Preferences somewhere and then you dont need them plugged in for hardware unlock anymore on rb7.
(edit - Preferences, PLAN, 3 dots on the right, check for active devices - think they need to be plugged in, take photos of the Serial number you’ll need them)
Trial will still show, as some extra features are activated so you can try them out as hardware unlock doesnt unlock some of the higher tier pro stuff.
My son had his controller on the go yesterday and gave me a swift tutorial on rekordbox. Might give it a whirl…. Been using Traktor for 18 years.
There is an advantage to having the separate windows, it’s a doddle to drop stuff into your USB and you don’t have to scroll all the way through your playlists to drop it in
NasserAlazzawi cheers dude. Will give that a go.
NasserAlazzawi So I tried this, prefreences, plan, 3 dots - checl for active devices just takes me to the rekkordbox wensite which asks me to choose a plan - there’s a hidden box to choose a “free” plan which then just takes you to a download link. What a load of shite.
mono-stereo somewhere along these steps is a button to register the device (maybe down the left of the website is a menu). It’ll ask for your serial number when you are in the right bit but you need to have a log in for that website for it to work.
NasserAlazzawi Cheers, i’ll take a look for that.

Looks like 7 minutes of shite Pete!
Does he say anything remotely noteworthy?

Nope, nothing remotely interesting. I just posted it because I want to feel ‘part of’
