rekordbox 6 Software Masterclass 

In most DJ software, you can view the album artwork for each music files. If your music files don’t have album artwork, you can use an ID3 tag editor to add it so it shows up with the file.

@@PioneerDJUSA yes I can see the artwork in Rekordbox but it's either just the top 3rd of the art or it's a small thumb. My suggestion was for a larger pop up, say for 3 seconds. It could display comments as well. But the artwork would be ok itself though.

Great to hear!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad the video helps!

Will do!

If you type “K” in the search bar, it will list songs that begin with K first.

We'll add them soon!

The single channel beat FX is based on the established workflow on the industry standard mixer. It started on the DJM-500 and is still the preferred workflow all the way to the DJM-900NXS2 and DJM-V10 mixers. DJs who plan on one day ending up on a CDJ and DJM system will have better muscle memory of arming and triggering effects.

If you have "Grouping" it's because you haven't converted that to "Label" in the rekordbox preferences (Advanced > Database > iTunes). They've removed the KUVO functions from the column list, so no - you're not missing anything, that's just a change in the application.

For the DJM-S9, that is correct. You will require at least the Core Plan to activate DVS. However, the DDJ-XP1 is a hardware unlock device for DVS. Make sure DVS is activated (checkmarked) in your rekordbox preferences. For more information on rekordbox compatible hardware, here is the full list: rekordbox.com/en/support/link/

Under your playlists, click "create folder" then right click.

@@PioneerDJUSA great thanks, so will folders export to usb and play on CDJ’s in the same way that playlists do?

Have you tried changing the native resolution of your desktop? If you have a large native resolution, where your icons are typically smaller, the size of rekordbox elements will also be smaller.

Metadata such as tags and album artwork are saved as part of the music file.

Thanks for sharing! We’ll definitely forward that to our engineers. With that said, may we ask what device you’re using rekordbox with? We may have some tips to get the best scratching sound quality.

@@PioneerDJUSA I am using the CDJ-3000's with a DJM-S11

@@Zigla Are you using a Mac or a PC?

@@PioneerDJUSA I am using a PC

Got it. We’ll definitely forward that to our engineers. While we’re not recommending to change your laptop setup, have you had a chance to try it on a Mac? Just to see if the same is happening.

Hello Wendel, are you referring to Merge FX in rekordbox?

Enable Merge FX in RB 6 and then reprogramme your knobs/rotary dials in the midi section to enable and use Merge FX

Those are the XY-Series speakers from Pioneer Professional Audio.

Well the CDJ-3000 has onboard analysis now so you actually can.

You are correct. The function can easily be MIDI mapped. Typically, it’s best to use the encoder knob since it closely emulates the function of the merge FX knob.

@@PioneerDJUSA Thank you for confirming and getting back to me so quick! Superb community support! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Pioneer DJ USA team!!

Are you using Apple Streaming files? The only files you can import into rekordbox from iTunes are actual music files like MP3, WAV, ect.

@@PioneerDJUSA Yes. The iTues music that I’ve purchased. Also, will I need to convert them into files, then drag and drop them into Rekordbox?…

Streaming files will not work. You will need to download and/or purchase actual music files like MP3 or WAV.

@@PioneerDJUSA Thank you sir!.

We don’t have any information on it at the moment, but we’ll pass your interest for that to our developers!

We’ll forward your request to our developers.

If you select and highlight the folder you want to search within, it will search only in that folder.

Sorry to hear. A few questions. 1. Are you using rekordbox or Serato? 2. Are you using a Mac or PC?

Devices typically do not support discontinued software. The CDJ-3000 was released after rekordbox 6 was introduced. And what’s great is, the CDJ-3000 is a “hardware unlock” device for rekordbox 6 in Performance Mode. You can use it without additional subscriptions and have features like 3-band waveform as well as parts separation, which are not rekordbox 5. You can even migrate your library from version 5 to 6.

So sorry to see your USB drive not responding properly. Let’s get you over to one of our product experts to help you troubleshoot. Do you mind creating a support ticket using the following link? We’ll give them a heads up so they know you might be contacting them. www.pioneerdj.com/en/support/contact/

@@PioneerDJUSA Fantastic, thanks 🙂

There isn’t an instant way to do it since it could risk having files removed that you don’t want it to remove. However, the follow is an easy way to sort those types of files to allow you to identify them to do a batch removal. Sort by title then compare locations or missing status, import date, number of hot cues. Figure out if there's a pattern with other duplicates and then sort by that criteria to batch remove. If you need additional help, our product specialists in our forum can provide additional help. forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us

That’s actually not a glitch. That’s done purposely so you don’t accidentally jump tempo when you move it. Basically, until you reach the point where the tempo position meets the locked tempo value, nothing will happen to the pitch. You have to bring the slider to that value in order to regain control.

@@PioneerDJUSA Ok I get it.... Interesting - I wonder if I was used to that correction happening in some other way using cdjs controllers are new for me. Thank you for the response sincerely.

In your rekordbox preferences, uncheck rekordbox lighting.

@@PioneerDJUSA Thanks for this, sorted. For anyone else it's under Preferences / Extensions / Enable Lighting Function

In rekordbox, video capability requires a subscription to the Creative Plan or the Professional Plan.

Which one would you like to know more about?

It’s a preference. Use what works best and sounds best!

@@PioneerDJUSA So there is no way i can use upfaders rather than xfader in mixing the videos?

@@PioneerDJUSA its at 5.3 ms

@@PioneerDJUSA- Thank you so much.

Thanks for your comment! We will pass your request onto our developers.

The DDJ-REV7 is not rekordbox compatible.

Are you using Beatport Link to stream your music to rekordbox?

@@PioneerDJUSA yes o do

If you are using a streaming service, the record function will stop working. This happens on all other DJ software as well that supports streaming.

What version of rekordbox are you running?

@@PioneerDJUSA 5.8.6 bro

@@PioneerDJUSA what version of rekordbox do i need to use bro ?

CDJ-3000s are not compatible with version 5. You must use version 6.

I reinstalled windows it was working fine for few days n now it's the same problem again

So sorry to hear. Since it’s difficult to narrow down the cause here in the comment section, let’s get you over to one of our product specialists from our support team to troubleshoot the issue.

There is a way to manually adjust the best grid so it dynamically adjusts to variable tempo shifts. The way to do it is to go into the grid editing view, and manually set a down best across the whole track. You may have to do this at every bar, or every few bars. Here is the recommended priority: 1. Some tracks, especially older tracks were recorded without a metronome. The tempo will be all over the place. For those tracks, you have to manually set the downbeat if you want it to be perfectly gridded. 2. If your track seems like it is supposed to have perfect tempo (most modern and electronic music) but the file is a vinyl rip, it is recommended to download a digital copy of the track. This will not only give you a perfect tempo, but will give you a richer and fuller sound quality. 3. If the digital version continues to be offset, then we recommend proceeding to manually setting the down beat on the grid. Hope this helps.

@@PioneerDJUSA thanks for the quick reply.. I will see if I can figure it out.. (I may need to scour the internet to try and find a clip.. I’m a visual learner, so I often need to see a process in action for it to make sense in my head.. lol)

Hello Floran. The DDJ-400 is not compatible with Serato software.

Did you know that on the XDJ-RX3, there is a pad mode called Release FX that has effects like you described? Hold Shift>SLIP LOOP to access them.
