The Big problems of Rekordbox 7

[@djkirk2854]

I also have the issue where I am using rekordbox 7 with my Rev 5, and when I load a song on either deck it freezes for about 5 seconds P|lease note all my music is on a external ssd HD a fast one, plus I am using a M1 Max 32gb and I am having this issue The software is ridiculous

[@mikecosta1889]

How is it doing with the 7.0.1 update?

[@baze.selecta]

same shit with the 7.0.1 ... let's test the 7.0.2 🤪

[@kokunaijin]

I had to go back to 6 today. My REV 7 pitch faders stopped doing anything. The BPM would change in Rekordbox but the speed of the track would return to the original BPM after half a second. I thought it was a problem with my laptop so I formatted it, reinstalled Rekordbox, reflashed the REV 7 firmware and nothing. I called Pioneer support and they suggested I try Rekorbox 6 and the problem went away.

[@baze.selecta]

no need to go back ! Did you uninstall the version 6 ? you can have simultany the both versions 6 & 7 on your laptop. Rekordbox 6 & 7 are totally separated and there is no conflicts between them. Install both use the 6.8.x for live show and prep. Use the 7 to test new options only cause it's no stable right now

[@mimazo4]

And how do I activate the microphone in rekordbox 7? I don't get any mic on option

[@reedy8585]

@@mimazo4 I don't use rekordbox 7 but there is no option in rekordbox 6 instead microphones are linked via the hardware equipment controller or mixer and recorded on the master output along with whatever you are playing

[@JBRacing613]

this is happening to me as well, have you received any support yet?

[@reedy8585]

@@JBRacing613 No, I've just reverted to using rekordbox 6.

[@bigdaz7272]

Have you tried increasing the buffer time in the Audio settings utility up from Default, maybe 15-20 ect? Have you also tried "disabling" all the "extensions" in the options, Stems, Video ect. They claim it now runs 40% odd faster than Version 6, i don't see that personally but not having this severe audio glitching like yourself even when i tested it on a super basic Dual Core Windows Laptop. Rekordbox has always been super Glitchy historically though when you run it against Serato which is always Butter.

[@Tyronnster]

What system you using i have a laptop connected to external monitor. Looking at getting a desktop pc

[@darnwarn]

Don't use a desktop bro. Just get an old Mac💁‍♂️

[@ToddBryantsr]

I’m using it and it’s flawless.

[@reedy8585]

What setup have you got?

[@koatovibes]

Sometime it works fine when the wifi is off. MacOs Ventura intel i9 16go 2019

[@reedy8585]

@@koatovibes thanks I'll give it a try with the latest update I was using Lan but still had the wireless on

[@cody_raves]

and what about when you use a thumb drive with the unit in standalone mode? personally i say ditch the laptop altogether. you dont need it at all

[@seanbrennan3472]

Maybe try the latest driver update

[@reedy8585]

Version 7.1 has the same issues and also the issues occur even just running the software alone so it is the rekordbox software. The firmware and drivers for the controller are irrelevant at this point but for the record I am running the latest firmware/driver. One thing all my systems have in common is they all run off m.2 hard drives 2 are nvme and I'm unsure off the top of my head with the surface 4 i know it's m.2 but it might be on the sata interface. So maybe that has something to do with it.

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

I don't have a fancy Pioneer deck like yours, but I use Virtual DJ and a Numark Mixdeck Quad and it's great. I wonder if Virtual DJ would give you less issues. You should try it

[@edenandmeadow]

hello bud..... thanks for a great video and has also confirmed my shit I get.........

[@jaylo230680]

I keep getting communication error with rekordbox agent failed i ended up switching back to Traktor🤬

[@Jacques.krause]

Everyone commenting it's his setup should step back and think, if RB6 works fine on his setup then RB7 should too, RB7 should work fine for all users, not just some. There's definitely something weird going on here. I don't have these exact problems but with mine there is a crazy delay between midi input and the sound being affected in the software and my buffer settings is exactly as it was in RB6 and also the GUI is very laggy for me. Not worth it for me, it looked like a nice update on the box but nah. Shit's wack for now.

[@HYBG1999]

I have the same setup but with a MacBook and not a single problem think it’s just your set up. Also why not use a usb like normal that would make more sense

[@Vagab0nd]

deepest sympathies, lol. Sorry you are having a hard time. I just installed and am doubtful I will use it for anything other than a gateway between Serato & Engine OS.

[@reedy8585]

I started off on serato which pioneer/alpha theata now also owns they bought it just after stems came out , up until now the rekordbox software has been pretty decent there's always been a few little issues here and there with updates but nothing completely unusable like this.

[@tumeloramagoshi8899]

My headphones don't work on Rekordbox 7

[@reedy8585]

You should be able to fix that by clicking the setting cog and changing the audio device from the drop-down menu, if you plug a controller in the output will default to the controller outputs so you'll need to plug your headphones into it.

[@mixx_factory]

I have a macbook 2019 OS 14 . 16GB RAM 1TB . RB7 for me is unusable . Imma stick to 5 or 6 . Plus now that they are charging no thank you !

[@djscale2821]

I use serato pro whit stems recordbox it’s not for me

[@darnwarn]

Tryong when i get home. Hope im not gonna have these issues 😭😭😭😭

[@originalamias]

Sounds like it's doing soft echo on everything

[@DJJAMONE]

Its that AMD processor btw brother. I had one and had these problems looked up online and rekordbox barely supports AMD switched over to a intel i7 been buttery ever since

[@reedy8585]

Yeah I had the same issues with 2 intel devices and record box 6.8 works fine

[@GamerNycteris]

aside dumb comments and wanna be dj's in this comment section. I have similar issues with RB7 it's total garbage! tbh for now stay to 6.85 till or just swap to denon there are reasons why Pionner DJ was sold 3 times and now it's owned by Chineese company who apparently does not care about quality standards.

[@Only1retro]

Worst update I got. And doesn’t seem to work proper at all on windows pc. Just use rb6

[@juniorchomsky9609]

This is not good. Thank you for sharing!

[@djscale2821]

I have also problems whit recordbox

[@DJSinnsy]

I'm going back to 6.85 come across a couple issues now, dog shit

[@typemismatch2712]

i have an xdj-xz and would never use it as a controller for rekordbox. Rekordbox is the worst dj software ever. I have long played with traktor pro 3 and a kontroller, and traktor is just king in dj software. I only use rekordbox as an archiving and analyzing program. Rekordbox 6 couldnt even stream on the net, you needed a workaround for that. Traktor has the streaming function just built in. Also that subscription thing, which you see everywhere nowadays, i find horrible. I'm currently running rekordbox 6.8.5 i think, and i will stay with that.

[@reedy8585]

@@typemismatch2712 yeah I don't do subscription, also the price point is delusional.

[@typemismatch2712]

@@reedy8585 its purely intended to grab as much money as possible and the company has a steady flow of money coming in. You also see this with synth and effect plugins.

"industry standard". Record Box and Pioneer are second rate. They make pretty black boxes with flashing lights though.

[@Mr__Fogg]

whats top rate then?

[@mework1871]

@@Mr__Fogg all the others on the market that don't corrupt your USB playlists at a moment's notice forcing you to reformat. That connect your controller easily, the same every time, just by plugging the cable in. Where you can edit song info/comments while a controller is connected. Easily records sound with the record button while linked without having to reference an unofficial youtube tutorial video. Able to easily connect to OBS or other recording software without having to reference an unofficial youtube tutorial to get it working. Able to update your controllers firmware via the software that tells you need to update yet can't download the update directly, or send it to the controller that's plugged in. That doesn't tell you a certain controller can't play FLAC when older models of the same series can, even when it's linked to a PC so the controller is not actually processing the FLAC files, the computer is directly from the hard drive. That doesn't let your computer go into screen saver mode when linked then disconnects the link, forcing the controller into a 4 beat loop and you have to reset the controller. That doesn't change how FX works while linked. Not to mention the awful forced cross-fade volume dipping that Pioneer has forced onto customer. And Many other ways I'm sure i'll find more of in future of using Pioneer and Record Box.
