Hey everyone! I don’t usually share my own videos in the comments, but I wanted to address an issue in Rekordbox 7 where exporting to USB is super slow. I’ve got a full explanation and a fix for it in this short video kzbin.infocu5YxTFiDtY

[@Shevzon]

a lot of amazing features! hopefully the stems get reworked :)

[@Crossfader]

👏

[@sicfxmusic]

In this pace, rb 8.0 will create a fire mix while I'm asleep.

[@pepeee548]

Maybe i am an old style dj, but i prefer to choose the tracks i will play in a set, rather than AI deciding my hot cues and tracks. And i wonder how this beatport and SC tidal work in a club as you just play on offline decks? You should still have a folder prepared before with your selected tracks for the gig, isnt it

[@allentastic]

Isn’t it what

[@flysworddd]

I know that CDJ3000s have the Beatport Sync access if you pay for it, but I think you can only play a gig from SC, Tidal, or Beatsource if you're on a Laptop (with internet).

[@NexuJin]

It's a feature you can use if you wishes. You don't have to use it if you don't. It's like having a garage full with tools: for in case you need them.

[@DizzelerTheMediocre]

No reason not to use it as part of preparation. It can streamline the process of what songs could mix or mash well with a song you may typically have trouble digging through your entire collection for.

[@johneicc]

Phew! Thanks Jamie. These are some significant changes and I'm so pleased I saw this video before upgrading. Looking forward to testing the new features!

[@MrYatharth7]

Idk if this is something other's want but I want that. In performance mode, why can't we zoom waveform all the way out (just like it can be done in Virtual DJ)? I would love to have that ability to see my track all the way out and know when to cue the track.

[@JohnDoe-pe9ew]

I cant speak for CDJs but you can see a smaller waveform when the tracks are playing on your laptop with the cuepoints visible

[@fintanblair5408]

When I get the new rekordbox 7 do I need to change the settings I had with rekordbox 6 or can I leave it the same ?

[@melvinp1324]

i quite like that with the radar

[@EricStGemme-jc1cz]

Great summary. Thanks!

[@rossreynolds3562]

Will it create hot cues for you now if not got any set up yet, like you can in lexicon? that would be ace if can so don't have to export all tracks out and put it through Lexicon

[@DJPowerPaul]

Interesting. Thank you for the insight.

[@mazx103]

Do we get the functionality back of using wireless headphones while using export mode / preparing tracks?

[@ferrarigustavo]

Will omnis duo have streaming with this update? Any info about this?

[@pcflynn89]

great quick coverage!

[@ilyafirsov7237]

thank you guys! You are doing a great job

[@djaugustoangelici2796]

Major flaw in the library section, if I'm in Collection I can't see my playlists tree, so I cannot drag track into those playlists like before. If I select the playlists tree, I cannot see my Collection, only shows me tracks that are already in those playlist... so how do I add new track to the playlist? I'm sticking to Rekordbox 6.8.0, this update it's not good.

[@FrankCavaliero]

I completely agree. This is a major issue. It’s infinitely harder to search for tracks CTRL F brings collection up then you type and the words just disappear. Only way to get play list and collection to display is have a sub window which really is not productive. I absolutely hate this new version

[@kylierosedj]

I've found you can right click and there is a menu option to add the track to a playlist. But it's not ideal. I liked the drag & drop workflow a lot more.

[@zoeywillems]

Thanks for the update!! Can you make a video on how to easily update your playlists? I've created a folder on my computer for each genre and dragged them over to rekordbox so they have the same name and rekordbox knows the locations. However once I add songs in the folders on my computer it isn't automatically adding them in rekordbox, Is there a feature for this? Or do you have a suggestion on how to do this quickly? I'm currently doing it by copying and dragging them folder by folder. Which is pretty time consuming if you have around 50 folders.

[@zoeywillems]

I used to have just one folder on my computer and sort them in Rekordbox itself, but after a few updates and completely erasing of Rekordbox (ofc just before shows) I learned the hard way that keeping them in folders on the computer is much safer. Please let me know if anyone has an idea, I can't imagine there isn't an auto update function or quick go around for this.

[@spiekermax]

Auto hot cues are definetely welcomed! Amazing idea.

[@paulhamacher773]

I'll eat my hat if that reliably works only half of the time and does actually save me some time

[@JOSOdubz]

So in Rekordbox 6 you could have sync playlists from Soundcloud larger than 100 tracks and now will Rekordbox 7 only let 100 track playlist sync or is there a option somewhere to sync larger playlists? or will I need to have my Soundcloud Playlist be less than 100 from now on?

[@ankitsethiya1626]

If I enable to auto analysis for cue points, will it replace the existing cue points on songs that I manually edited?

[@luisvallejooo]

For some odd reason when i play a track on rekordbox 7 the bpm starts bugging and changes randomly, does anyone know how to fix this??

[@NexuJin]

I'm still not a fan of a redesign on the collection explorer. With the new redesign, you lose the old ability to drag a local folder in Explorer and drag it into your collection as a playlist automatically. Also, Pioneer can't seem to handle the request to view my subscription status. But I guess the device authentication works: I can now use my Xone K2 with RB without a subscription or Pioneer device connected. I have always hated that Pioneer had MIDI mapping/capability for non Pioneer hardware locked away behind a paywall, even if you do own Pioneer hardware already.

[@plantmarksthepot5618]

You’re probably the best person to ask. I have a FLX - 10. If I move the jog wheel on deck, one it triggers the stems on deck for to toggle on and off. Which is a huge problem if you are scratching or moving the jog wheel on deck one while deck floor is playing. I thought it was a hardware issue and got another FX 10 and it still does it. Any possible solution?

[@Dj_OLD_MATE]

the major issueis that i cant upgrade thru update manager nor can i download it from pioneer site

[@mathijsvann]

I've been afraid to update rekordbox for 1,5 years now. I'm running it all of a 2016 MacBook and already rekordbox freezes once every 2 months (often in hot rooms/weather). Any clue if updating it will brick Rekordbox? I just didn't want the stems update, fearing it might crash my laptop

[@starkmann1232]

Do sb know if recordbox now can record when playing (stream) soundcloud?

[@Zentie346]

I can't seem to get the link option in export mode... I usually hook up my XDJ-XZ and browse music in export mode and load it trough link. Where do I find this option? It doesn't show up when connecting the dj unit to the laptop with usb, like it used to in version 6. Could someone please help?

[@cazrep]

Could you provide the reference information on the JUCE update? Really curious about this detail and I can't find anything online that states it other than this video

[@Reuben100uk]

On 6.8.5. Selecting update from within software, version 7 not showing as upgrade. Shouldn't it update this way as per usual? Anyone else having this issue?

[@imsebiluca]

So in my playlists and collection, the bpm category is not showing up at all .Don't know if anyone else is having this problem. I NEED THAT KEY CATEGORY!

[@DanielFernandez-rr7ee]

I have installed it and rekordbox is on trial mode with a FLX10 connected. Im logged in with the register account. Why is the trial activated? On 6 everything was unlocked with hardware unlock

[@earl6345]

I had the same problem after I updated it. I installed it back to 6.8 ASAP

[@Kalpo]

I think the trial is about the features that are locked on the free plan. You get access to premium plan for a trial period.?

[@fintanblair5408]

Exactly the same with me when I try to get the free rekordbox version 7 it offers a 30 day trial instead and it dosent let me close any of the windows down I have to shut the whole laptop down to get out of it

[@efrn007]

From what I understood after reading the explanation for each plan that is on the Rekordbox website, the performance mode can be unlocked into the free plan with an unlock device , but they took away the mix recording option, that is available only during the trial period. Well, time to sell my DDJ-1000. Thanks God I also have a Denon Prime 4+.

[@valerakha]

Did they actually put midi mapping of stems behind the paywall?

[@CaiSamuels]

How does collection radar compare to related tracks?

[@user-qp6in7ip2t]

I’m new to Dj’ing and this might be a dumb question but how do I put songs onto a hard drive so I can play music offline. I’ve been streaming my playlist and sets from SoundCloud but it’s obviously not reliable due to the loading times and need for wifi

[@RoqueSantosJunior]

Isn’t finding the next track a human function? Like, subjective perception of the dance floor, that AI can’t know? And isn’t the DJ job to know it’s own music collection?

[@robertschnobert9090]

Counting BPM is the task of the DJ, not the software. Visualizing a waveform is the task of the DJ, not the software. Real DJs don't use Rekordbox. They only use records, for example vinyl or shellac. 🌈

[@mh_dot_fm]

You might want at least some narrowing of choice or advice to start from, if unsure. Better to have it not be as random as just scrolling playlists.

[@_vnthony]

I'm all for new technology and using it as tools, but a huge part of being a DJ is knowing your music, searching for music, reading the crowd/vibes, adjusting, taking your audience on a journey, etc... what's the point if the program just tells you songs to play next and does all of that work for you. How will DJs separate themselves if they just hop on Beatport and play the same songs from the top 100. Idk, i feel the attention on 'hey Rekordbox has AI and will tell you songs to play next" is pretty lame.

That depends on a few things. Your Internet connection, your PCs power and how busy the update server is. It's never taken longer than about 5 mins whenever I've updated in the past. I have good Internet but my laptop is nothing special.

[@djwaynelive]

I'm having a nightmare with it. It locks up when analysing more than 6 tracks at once, both analysis and updating any artwork with any track loaded, causes said track to repeat a 1/4 beat section (randomly). Not noticeable until you playback the track and notice the glitch and the BPM go out of sync. My machine is within the recommended requirements and I have run tests, which show hardly any RAM use, but 100% processor use (i7). Just a moment ago, the UI completely froze - I could not get much response from the DDJ 1000 FX, but the hot cues worked. Nothing moved on screen, jog wheel screens were also frozen and it was not possible to load a track. The existing track played out. Good job I didn't un instal 6.
