«  The top CDJ governed for 2000/900 »

Published on 04/12/14 at 00:36
Hello,
I use Rekordbox since almost the beginning.
This tool will allow you to manage your library as a finely iTunes (or Traktor, Serato).
Are you going to manage your playlists with many parameters such as smart playlists (which are updated dynamically with the criteria) but also and especially to place your CUE and other loops on your songs. (An iOS version is available for iPhone)
I use Rekordbox stand alone on Macbook Pro to manage my library and then connected on a network governed CDJ 2000 DJM 900 with a mini switch 100 base T. The link function hugely multiplies the tool and do not miss it if it is equipped with CDJ 900 or 2000!

GETTING STARTED

Installation on Macbook Pro could not be more simple.
Function verifies that there is no shift in the launch (if you are connected to the web).
The manual ..... why? We found it without problem!
I prefer to create a topic to talk about the expected functions (some of which were born!)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Macbook Pro Core i7.
The analysis is not longer than the other tools of its kind.
No crash in delivery when rekordbox is "linké" with a control network.

OVERALL OPINION

For 2 ½ years.
I'm old school training on SL 1200 and is not misused V DJ and Traktor in HID.
The big plus of this tool in my eyes: use networking with CDJ 2000 (or 900) and a DJM 900 table.
Instead of using keys or hard drive, the big advantage is that you connect your laptop to your Rekordbox governed (CDJ and DJM being networked with a mini hub).
Here you will get the power of research with computer, then send your tracks on the plate of your choice. Or there is very strong with a DJM 900 is that you can pre-listen to a song played on Rekordbox from the DJM 900 without sending it on a plate: fully integrated!
It is much more ergonomic evening, and provides access to its entire library, almost impossible with keys.
What I particularly like with rekordbox is that it reconciles the best of two worlds: the power of management and research through the computer, while taking advantage of ergonomics, quality audio components a "classic" board.
Pioneer gentlemen, keep it up!
