  • Rekordbox 7 Thread (for DJs)

Fixed it - just ran it again and it worked- weird!! thanks chaps

Mad_Cyril were you ā€œflying low without a licenseā€ ā€“ did you have ā€œegg on yer chinā€.

      Anyknow know how hardware unlock works with CDJs? Iā€™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 itā€™s still in ā€œtrialā€ 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 youā€™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, Iā€™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 Iā€™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 didnā€™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 youā€™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 whirlā€¦. Been using Traktor for 18 years.

            There is an advantage to having the separate windows, itā€™s a doddle to drop stuff into your USB and you donā€™t have to scroll all the way through your playlists to drop it in

            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 - thereā€™s a hidden box to choose a ā€œfreeā€ 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). Itā€™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 ugh I accidentally hit the thumbs button so now I feel compelled to reply now. I havenā€™t seen the video, but I can see Pioneer ending up reminiscing with Technics somewhere down the line. Blue chip products but demand doesnā€™t match supply.
