Rekordbox 101 - Getting Started Tutorial 

people like you are what makes the internet amazing! thanks for sharing this excellent primer, you're helping me take my first baby steps into mixing which I've wanted to do for years. THANK YOU!

First time I hear a DJ saying "I play Happy Hardcore". And I'm happy that's a thing :D

Clean and shiny, straight-to-the-point tutorial. Just what I was looking for. :)

I am such a fooking dinosaur (djing since 1989, I actually said to myself outloud whilst looking at RB for the first time...." jeez what happened to taking a 12 out of a sleeve".... this helped a lot mate. Greets from an old timer. Peace. dj clarkee.

Big thanks! This marks my ascension from Traktor to CDJs!

Neat, I had to learn all this by trail and error good to see a tutorial.

i found this to be the best utility to convert your USB to fat32 no matter the size AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition 6.3 hope it helps, it took me a couple of hours of downloading, testing and CMD

Huge thanks for this one. Was wondering about the track listing for the tunes used in each section. There are some really good ones here.

Thank you for this post.

Hi bud, absolutely great video really helpful to a beginner like me, can you please please make a short video, on adding & exporting tracks to a already established " analysed music collection. (I just want to add tracks to my USB.... ) Thanks 👍👍👍

Great video. Thanks.

Thanks bud! very helpful!

REALLY useful thanks!

SONG IN THE BACKGROUND: I've been looking for it all day. I found the original song but not the version on the video.. It's called Seek bromance by Tim Berg (feat. Vicky jackson, i believe) If anyone finds it, please let me know! - Nice tutorial!

Thanks mate really good tutorial !!!

Awesome video!

Hey cottsy, I'm feeling nostalgic.. Do you remember hardcore journey?? Could you post a track list?? There are so many good tunes in that classic set.. Much love. Cheers for another classy vid xx

My music management if it intrests anyone: Music > "I don't fkin know", "Approved", "Emergency" (You know, just in case I need it but it's music I dislike) > *Music genre*, "I don't know what genre" (but sort it out later). So far, it works out for me.

Hi Cotts, you mentioned that a good quality and fast usb stick is recommended, could you name an example or what would you recommend

What if you have folders that have large collections of tracks and want to display them as folders on the deck. Can you still see your tracks in the folders you placed them in on the USB. I have a DCJ 850 whish is quick for me to find. ie folders inside folders. (hope that makes sense) I 'm registered blind so I only really want Recordbox for analysing tracks for quantizating Great tutorial and looking forward to moving up to NXS200s :)

My whole problem with Rekordbox is that it's all playlist-based. I want my USB to be organized how i want it. So if i have a USB with folders, i cant just say: "Hey Rekordbox, these are my folders...just analyze the tracks, but leave the folder structure alone!"

Great content...However, how to play music and match bpm I thought would have been included in this video.

Tks you so much

Nice, thanks!

Thanks for the video

Thanks so much, crash course before gig tonight... only problem is i can reorder my playlist in Recordbox 5... :(

Thanks a lot!👏👊👍😎💪

Great Tutorial!!

Thanks for posting this video. My 2000 nexus 2s just arrived and this was very helpful to get me going! BTW, what was that track at the end of the video? Just the two of us???

If my electronic music has bpm changes in it do i still use dynamic analysis or normal?

I have one track that I use in 2 different playlists. Can I use any kind of notation (color notation or a comment etc) for that track, to be different in 2 different playlists? For example, I have the song named "Midnight" and in playlist 1, i want it to have a red color notation. The same song "Midnight", its in playlist 2, but here i want it to have a Blue notation. Is that possible? (sorry for the confusion, im not sure how clear i was).THank you!

Hi, I just wanted to ask you a question. Do you upload your entire music collection to rekordbox ,or you just upload playlist you created. Also just starting up.

Well Explained Thank You (:

Great video. Lots of great tips 😊 However , I wondered....... is there a way of stopping rekord box from analysing the bpm? As I use dvs together with my old vinyl at home , so don't want any mixing aids.

Dope vid. Thx

Thnx for the tutorial! Shame you didn't play happy hardcore in the background..!! Cheers from Amsterdam, Cole 45

hey man, I was wondering... how do I repeat a loop over a song? I've got some drum loops from my sample packs that i want to have repeated over some music

Thank you so much :)

nice

Very helpful thank you

Great video thanks. Anything new for the 5.2 version out now???? That would rock, as Im ust getting started as a new DJ

Hello, I have a Mac but rekord box is not recognizing my USB ? what is wrong ?

I just bought a cdj 850 and created three playlists in rekordbox then transferred them to the USB stick. When I inserted it in the cdj, all the tracks were there but it didn't seem to show playlists, the tunes just had to be scrolled through one by one. Can you think why this might be?

Can you please help - I am so desperate and cannot get hold of anyone. It's probably something super simple but ive been trying to work it out for 5 hours and can't so: I have the XDJ RX set up as a midi controller and it is working perfectly except the sound will only come out of the laptop speakers. I cannot for the life of me work out how to make the sound go back through the XDJ's mixer and out to speakers. I have the latest firmware on the xdj and have installed the driver for it but.... just can't work it out. I have been into settings - the only sound output options I have are 'built in audio output' and 'ishow audio capture'. I've re installed the software.... 5 hours of doing everything i can think of...please help Show less REPLY

Great tutorial, many thanks .. very helpful.. I can’t see the smart disk utility link !

Thanks, great video. But where is the link to the utility you said was going to be in the description box?

one think that i need your help is, What about all the Cue Points. Gonna export with the tracks too? Thanks

cool.

if i have my collection open, and i want to export my tracks to the usb keys. If i mark all of the files and drag them, will the same files already on the usb be duplicated or ''Ignored''?

Thank you

Hi, I am going to buy a controler with rekordbox software license. If I download rekordbox on my PC can I install it on my laptop with the same license?

whats the background track? diggin it

Any software to fix, organize, rename, and flag duplicate files on your computer?

If full waveform availble only from PLAYLIST? I prefer to choose songs from FOLDER, but when I load the that from there, there's no full waveform at all (tracks were analysed before) on NXS2.
