Rekordbox 7 Thread (for DJs)

At least there was a barrier to entry with decks. Without the sync button or waveform display some of these modern djs would be fucked.

mono-stereo I don’t need the sync button, but the waveform comes in handy.

Accessibility is a good thing, more people getting involved makes it better

Well that depends on your idea of better. If that means you get a load of performative instagram DJs waving their arms about like cunts without worrying about musicality, then yeah.

The same can be said about producers using presets. You just end up with more shite to wade through.

mono-stereo Obviously, I don’t want cunts getting involved, Mono

Homegrove It’s so fucking slow still.

I found the USB export painfully slow this time - but it didn’t do that in the Beta testing.

An hour ago I found out why, and the fix.

Some of what this guy does is handy as fuck - he’s worth a follow and developed some non subscription based tools to manage databases across different brands https://www.atgr.nl/ (Mac only).

Along_the_Wire. Of course you don’t. I dunno. Prehaps no one gives a shit about the “art” of the DJ any more?

I suppose the question is are the kids on the dancefloor having fun, if yes then who cares?

There are still people in the digital world who do.

I really had to get my head out of the technology side to allow that in to be honest

In some ways Live Streaming made being in the moment harder because there was so much to think about and the devices / connections would conspire with each other to break for no reason at random.

Getting into your own flow / being present FTW

It’s a good question. From a sample size of one, my youngest, he goes clubbing reasonably often, but he doesn’t give a shit who it is, or where it is, or even the genre - I’d imagine he’s just getting smashed to bits. He doesn’t listen to much music either, despite everything I taught him

The world definitely needs more mixes.

mono-stereo

Along_the_Wire Sounds like the first wave of ravers. Maybe the kids are on to something.

Along_the_Wire

mono-stereo nah, it’s now and again - birthdays, New Year’s Eve and all that shite

Smallman1 For once your spot on. No dicking about.

SM001 At least a few years ago you’d have 2 x USB sticks and backed up with 20 odd cds just in case they played up.

I don’t miss playing out.

Dan Feels like theres a lot of admin involved nowadays.

I’ve had a fucking mare this weekend.

Deleted all this year’s tunes.
Recovered
Ran through Platinum Notes
Retagged everything - really just artist, tune and artwork
Then mixed in key wrote over everything so back to retagging

What a load of ole shite

Dan

SM001 Hannu’s post about updating drivers etc….. 🫣

Homegrove

Both gigs went fine technically (not checked the recording for Sat yet). Friday played with an USB-stick on XDJ1000s, Saturday with my XDJ700s on a laptop with Rekordbox DJ. Both times with the version 7.0.

Mad_Cyril Ran through Platinum Notes

…you know this isn’t a necessary step for an entire collection, right?

NasserAlazzawi

Mad_Cyril I could be wrong here but if you’re using mixed in Key, rekordbox 5 onwards has an inbuilt way of doing this.

Smallman1

Lol!

Sounds horrific!
