Rekordbox 7 Thread (for DJs)

Dan

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.

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!

NasserAlazzawi Cheers, i’ll take a look for that.

Looks like 7 minutes of shite Pete!

Does he say anything remotely noteworthy?

ArchimedesQ

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

ArchimedesQ
LOL. 7 minutes well saved then 👍

I’ve just seen this video, he does raise some interesting points!

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.

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.

NasserAlazzawi Cheers for the heads up. will give that a go.

Cool - Ebay here I come !

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.

NasserAlazzawi

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

Imported new music
It was analyising the music
I was previewing some music whilst the above was happening.

It stopped after that. RB6 doesn’t have this issue, they will fix it.
