Duuude I love ur channel. Really helpful tips. When I started dj ing I front of a crowd, I used my virtual dj laptop for months until I was able to get a controller - inpulse 500. Now I'm getting at a point where some venues will only use CDJ's, so I have no choice but to learn how to use rekordbox . And that's where ur channel comes in. Thank u for enlightening me. It saves me the time I would have spent learning it on my own .....

[@ReallyChrisM]

@@bitangayves2125 glad I can help!

[@ArslanAkhmedov]

jeez your channel is a hidden gem, so glad I found you

[@itsXZY]

Found this week ago and I feel I've learned so much

[@christophersonawane]

This man is an absolute gem! Great teacher and giving so much information and not keeping the important bits behind a pay wall. Thank you sir

[@RC.13]

Been looking for videos like this for AGES. If they added a way to filter by My Tag properly on CDJ/XDJ units, my life would be complete. Imagine scrolling through a My Tag list, selecting the tags you want to include in the filter list with the rotary knob, then having all the tracks fitting that criteria display on the screen… game changing!

[@ReallyChrisM]

We can only dream!

[@kryn3904]

is it still not implented?? 🥲

[@kryn3904]

⁠@@ReallyChrisMi think you can find it under „Track Filter“ -> „mytag“ Don‘t have a cdj, but maybe you could have a look

[@notnotsyaj]

Thank you so much! Your videos are really helpful, and I love your sarcasm lol

[@howardajoodha6690]

Thank you so much ! I have watched two of your videos so far and they have been so informative ! And the editing is punchy and clear Keep this up

[@ReallyChrisM]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words :)

Oh boi this channel is gold

[@hardwarelabor1631]

It's crazy the Libary Management of rekordbox. I've just started this year with DJ'ing and use also rekordbox

[@ReallyChrisM]

There’s a lot to discover!

[@raysanto5088]

You solved my question. Thank you.

[@Stickwithnunu]

Chris superb sir 👍👍🎧🎧👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@foxkocreates]

wow, this is super insightful thank you

[@craigdaly4550]

Thanks for the Video, great ideas...the reason I moved to Rekordbox was because of the Tag feature, but was not that clear in how best to use or set up. Great video.

[@ReallyChrisM]

I’m happy it helped clear it up :)

[@aivarasbertelli4728]

Great video and great editing, thanks!

Thank you!

[@andiedwards368]

Great videos 👍🏾👍🏾.... just started using Rekordbox. Am a 57 old school dj and just play for myself. I decided to go down this modern world of playing my music as a bedroom dj. Have you done a video on how to backup your Rekordbox. 1: Do you put all your music to your laptop harddrive...or external SSD. If harddrive...will you lose all data including cues, grid edits etc if to say you lost or laptop gets damaged. 2: if you store files on external SSD and you lose or damage laptop. Will all your cues, grid edits, hot cues etc... basically you won't have to start again from scratch loading all your music back into rekordbox. Can you do a video on how to backup your files and best way to avoid losing all that months of data added 🤜🏾🤛

[@ReallyChrisM]

Definitely plan to do a video on this at some point :) The files themselves and the data associated to them (cue points etc) are generally separate things. You can back up just the rekordbox data, or the RB data along with the files themselves. Bit hard to explain in comments so watch this space!

[@rafalvarezsevilla]

damn your videos are perfect, im heaving a rocket kickstart with your videos =D

[@ReallyChrisM]

[@Nite85]

Well done

Thank you

you are THE legend, should work for pioneer😅

[@thomasrodriguez8797]

Thanks man!!

[@eli-shulga]

Hi happy to find your channel very useful and sarcastic stuff :) Question about tags with CDJ's - Can you explain a bit deeper (maybe do a vid) about how you see tags on CDJ's? I have a DDJ 1000 at home and I use the comments a lot for my track "scoring" and reminders to my self whats in each track. And afraid to find out the hard way "under fire" that my comments where ran over on decks Do tags show only in comments? Do they overwrite your comments? Is there a a way to see both? Great stuff - Subbed :)

[@ReallyChrisM]

More CDJ stuff coming soon hopefully!

[@CDJPRODJ]

tag selected tracks by color, is there a dual rekordbox key command that would make this allot faster? Thanks

[@rsdsindy]

Hey, so I would love to use My Tags, but I found out it is limited to USB sticks. For some reason I can't open My Tags when I have my music on USB stick. What should I do?

[@goober123cool]

I'm having trouble getting My Tags to show up on my USB stick. Not sure if it's the same problem as you but basically I have an all in one Pioneer dj set up and need to get the Tags from the Rekordbox software on my computer onto my USB stick so I can access them when I'm Djing

[@goober123cool]

Hey Chris, thanks for the helpful video. I'm looking to get My Tags to appear on my USB stick from my Rekordbox software on my laptop, Do you have any tips on how I might achieve that?

[@Hannanakan]

Is it possible that the tags appear on the hardware - in my case a XDJ-RR

[@carlos_mann]

Thank you for the helpful tips!! Do you know if those tags that are created will transfer over to Serato but in the "Comments" section inside of Serato

[@ReallyChrisM]

If you use the option I showed, Rekordbox will write the tags to the comments field of the mp3, so you should be able to see that in Serato. I’m not sure you can actually do anything with it other than view though

[@Roy210997]

would anyone happen to know why non of my tags are showing in the track filter area? is this a common glitch?

[@Amatteus]

What about doing all the tags and playlist in Apple Music ( itunes), so then you are able to work and Dj on Rekordbox, Performance mode, Virtual -DJ, Serato, Tracktor and any other software for Djs.. They all take songs from Itunes ( now called Music). easily with all their tags and playlist.. If you do all the work of classifying your library in REkordbox, if one day , for any reason you want to use another Dj software you will have to remake all this tedious and time consuming work.. Would love to hear your 2cents on that subject... Am I correct?.. Am I wrong?.. Why? Thanks.

[@MrLbola]

How can Create the intelligent playlist? Thanks 🙏

[@jnny7182]

Do u drag your tracks into rekordbox from an external hd or thumb drive or do you keep your tunes on the internal ?

[@ReallyChrisM]

I use a mixture of internally saved tracks and streaming from tidal :)

[@miketheforce8056]

I made a large playlist (2,400 tracks) from an external drive then exported it to a usb, (took 3 hrs!) but the Tag function for the usb is greyed out. Why? I was hoping to be able to add tags as I go through the collection as opposed to only before transferring to usb.

[@erickprince9885]

Did you add the tracks to the collection? I had the same issue. Fixed when I added external tracks to collection.

[@jordanbeales370]

Hi Chris I tried to message a few times on insta but it won’t deliver. Fantastic content as always but I’m having an issue and hope you can help. Using tags only seams to be available if the files are stored locally and not on a memory stick ? It only shows the function for my tags if the songs they are in “my collection” and that seems to only show locally stored tracks for me…… any suggestions thanks

[@ReallyChrisM]

Hey, yes you can't tag directly on the usb drive. You'll need to do it locally then sync the playlists to the device

[@jordanbeales370]

Thanks, is there a way to change the location 'local' to an external drive etc.... or use Drop box ?

[@PspkCz]

sorry but i didnt understand properly , what is problem with cdj 3000 ?

[@zaynmalice7106]

he's just saying you can't use My Tags as seamlessly on CDJs as in Rekordbox on a laptop + controller setup i.e. too time-consuming and inconvenient to be worthwhile on CDJs, make your PLs in rekordbox first.

[@matthewromano9621]

What if I don’t know what genre and sub genre they are? I’m stressing

[@ReallyChrisM]

Give this a shot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXOQZIZpgc5jrLssi=He4eBwk7D-PYnjsl

[@mariosuarez1563]

Does this only work for rekordbox premium? Because it appears gray to me and i can't click on it :(

[@ReallyChrisM]

This should work on RB free plan if you have a hardware unlock device. What is greyed out exactly?

[@bboymac84]

Can you dual sorting like serato?

[@ReallyChrisM]

Unfortunately I don't think you are able to in rekordbox. What you can do though is create intelligent playlists that apply different rules to the tags e.g. Tag 1 AND Tag 2 as a workaround

[@bboymac84]

@@ReallyChrisM kool. Wish it had that feature tho

[@ReallyChrisM]

Me too!
