r/Rekordbox

I‘ve been actively using my FLX4 for about 12 Months and i‘m thinking of upgrading to an All-in-one system.

Are there any recommendations what i should go with?

Was thinking of going for the XDJ-AZ, they‘re the closest to a compact CDJ-3000 setup I can think of. I also want to use the System to Stream on Twitch and ofc to practice with or even take out to small raves.

Maybe ya‘ll have some better recommendations/advice or some info on the deck in general?

hello! i’m new to djing and have had a few lessons. i booked a practice room, and wanted to ask: how would i go about connecting my laptop running rekordbox to the controller?

i also created a playlist using apple music within rekordbox. will it automatically read it?

please forgive me for any mistakes. i’m still learning!

I have replaced my FLX 4 for the second time and when i play on the laptop with just the USB - C port the first 2-3 days it plays perfectly but then suddenly after the 4-5th day the USB-C stops supporting the laptop and i have to use the external power usb c, Why is this happening? at first i thought it was a flx 4 issue but now that i have used 2 diffrent FLX 4's on the same laptop i think it could be a laptop issue , Please please help my laptop is not even 1 year old and it has 16GB ram

exported my USB today before a gig like i always do, double checked it - everything looked great, pull up to the set, plug it into the XDJ AZ they have, and suddenly music from my friends old rekordbox pops up?

i’ve never plugged this USB into their laptop or synced it to a different rekordbox. i’ve only ever exported my own music onto it from my iMac, rekordbox version 5. i’ve been using this USB consistently for about 7 months and it’s always been perfectly fine on any other equipment, but this was my first time using an AZ.

anyone have any insight on why this happened? the folders (none of which were mine) were also all empty. i was genuinely at a loss for how to even explain this to anybody there. someone please help!

I've know it's "on the list for a future update" from Pioneer. Has it been implemented? I set up my column order the way I want it but it changes every time when I make a new playlist. Thanks.

I feel like this should be a pretty common use case for producing and DJing:

1. You make a tune
2. You render the tune to mp3 (or whatever)
3. You add the tune to Rekordbox
4. You analyze, tag, and add cue points
5. You sync the tune to your USB so you can play it out
6. You tweak the mixdown later and re-render the tune
7. You sync your USB
8. Rekordbox updates the mp3 on your USB with the new mixdown, because the file has been modified

Except step number 8 never actually seems to happen.

I don't want to have to delete tunes from my collection and reanalyze them and retag them and add all the cues and stuff back to them again, and go and add them back into playlists I had them in. I want Rekordbox to just... update the damn files on the USB, since the files have been modified.

Is there no way to do this currently? Am I missing something?

So when I am mixing on my computer everything sounds fine, but then mixing on my friends laptop, all the songs sound like they’re in a different key. I am not using key sync on either device. Though I did try key sync on the laptop to see if that was the issue, yet it sounds even more out of key with that on.

Is there a setting in rekordbox somewhere that he may have on that’s causing this?

I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to recording using OBS. Maybe this question could be posted in OBS forum. Anyway, in case any one has suggestions I'll ask here.

I've been using OBS on a Mac to screen capture/record a mix. It's worked well previously in that I can't hear what I'm cueing up. For some reason lately something has changed and I don't know what it is? Now when I record I can hear what I'm cueing up in the recording.

A while a go I was going to use Blackhole plugin to route audio, but discovered I could just do it in OBS.

I'm using Beatport streaming, as I have done with previous recordings without issues.

Anyone had experience or suggestions with this?

I can see my history in the old version on my old USB which I still bring to my gigs (I plug both in) but the USB I add all the latest tracks in and that is using the latest version , … I see nothing , anyone have any ideas?

Salve a tutti , espongo il mio problema

Uso un macbook air m2 16gbRam con una flx4.

Ieri durante un compleanno ha iniziato a laggarmi il pc ma come programmi aperti avevo solo rekordbox. Inizialmente il cursore andava a scatti e dopo un po sembrava non dare segni di vita.

Delle cose volevo puntualizzare:

Il problema si è posto solo durante il momento del ballo ( quindi canzoni più spinte ). Una volta terminata la parte danzata e sono passato a musica d’ascolto mi è andato tutto tranquillo.

Sempre durante il momento del ballo capita che rekordbox cambi da solo i bpm di brani in riproduzione , senza che io tocchi nulla. Tutti i brani li analizzo in modalità ‘Normale‘ .

Vi ringrazio in anticipo

Hello everyone,

I’ve been DJing a few times as an opening act for noise, ambiant, shoegaze, or black gaze shows and was considering going hybrid.

What I’m actually thinking about is having Ableton on the side, and using it to enrich tracks with drums or bass lines, sending midi to a hardware synth and have a live part in sculpting the sound.

I’ve tried using Ableton link but it prevents from using key sync, which is an important tool for me considering the melodic aspects of what I’m playing. So I was thinking about a basic midi clock but there are still unanswered questions, and I would love to have feedback from anyone having tried the same. FYI I’m usually preparing my sets on my gaming windows pc and playing them on my laptop with a DDJ grv6 at the venue).

Here’s an exemple of the workflow I’m looking for :

- track 1 playing in deck 1

- I’m layering some drums played directly in Ableton

- at some point I’m cutting the bass in track 1

- I bring back the bass with a midi clip sent by Ableton to my synth

- I’m beatmatching track 2 on deck 2

- I stop track 1 to make room for track 2

- I’m cutting my bass clip and drum clip to let track 2 drop

This is kind of « thinking out loud » so it might lack sense in some aspects but I think the idea is there.

What I don’t know : using a midi clock, do all decks have to be permanently at the same BPM, is there such thing as passing over the master status from one deck to another ?

Is there anything I should know about considering setup complexity and stability ?

Hi everybody, I know this is probably a common question but I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate if someone could spell the answer out for me clearly. I'm looking into learning to DJ as a hobby. I don't have any intention of making a career out of this, just DJing for house/block parties hopefully. I understand the FLX4 is a newer version of the 400, is there any difference in the type of rekordbox features they unlock? I understand the FLX4 is the only beginner being sold currently that unlocks performance mode but does that mean you can no longer unlock it from an older DDJ 400?

I'm looking to buy a used controller and from what I can tell on kijiji and FB marketplace nobody wants to sell the FLX4 for under $450cad even though I could buy a brandnew one for $450cad off amazon, the DDJ 400 I have been able to consistently find for 300-400 which is what I would prefer to spend anyways, would I really be trading major features in comparison to paying that extra $50 + tax for the FLX4? Maybe I'm being too cheap but from what I understand so far they're essentially the same performance and features wise.

So when j change anything in the library ie an artist name, the UI loses focus and skips a random number of tracks down the library. So the you have to scroll back to the track you are working on.

Fucking annoying.

hey my DDJ-RR controller won’t connect to rekordbox. I’ve changed my computer from a macbook air to a macbook pro with a M3 max chip. I don’t know if that’s the issue. I would be really sad if i can’t use my controller because i can’t afford a new one right now.

I feel like i’ve tried everything. :/
