![]() ![]() The new version of Rekord Buddy makes this process as effortless as possible. Gone are the days of having to analyze your library more than once, setting beat grids and cue points multiple times, just to have the flexibility to move between different platforms. Say you feel like playing on Traktor for one gig then you for your next gig you feel like using Rekordbox on flash drives, with Rekord Buddy 2.0 this isn’t an issue at all. This is the first and seamless method of syncing your library’s metadata across multiple platforms. Rekord Buddy 2.0 is quite a big deal for digital DJs. Rekord Buddy library file ensures Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor library files will not be corruptedĭJ Software Freedom Of Choice A glimpse of the metadata editing screen in Rekord Buddy.Organize your library thoroughly using smart lists, filters, and tags.Sync playlists between Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor.Sync metadata between Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor.Rekord Buddy 2.0 is music management software with a few special features: After a private beta earlier this year, Next Audio Labs has this week released a public beta version of Rekord Buddy 2.0 that anyone can download – assuming you’re ready to buy. The software that promised to sync metadata (cue points, beat grids, loops, ect.) between the top three current DJ platforms (Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor) has been eagerly anticipated for years. ![]() ![]() In the meantime, I’m glad people are building tools like the Denon Conversion Utility, it makes everyone’s life easier.It feels like an eternity since Rekord Buddy 2.0 was first announced. Standards make everyone’s life easier and allow software manufacturers focus on what makes their offering truly different from the competition, without having to re-invent the wheel. Wouldn’t it be great if DJ software manufacturers found a way to standardize the storage of cue points, saved loops, BPM, beat grids, playlists and other information so we can finally switch between DJ software packages without the hassle of going through third-party utilities? The price is still unknown, but I don’t expect it to be more than a few dollars since other utilities by the same team cost around 5 USD each. The tool is not available yet, and when it becomes available, there will only be a MacOS version, and there are no plans for a Windows version. I wouldn’t be surprised that Denon DJ is working on a solution of their own on the side as well. Most of the DJ’s they will be converting will be coming from Rekordbox, and without a solution to quickly and easily convert Rekordbox data to Engine Prime these DJ’s will give up before they start.Īccording to the creator (Mix Master G) he’s is still fixing issues and waiting for some answers from Denon DJ in order to finalize the tool, which means that Denon DJ is at least supporting third party software creators in solving this issue. Why I’m paying attention to this? Because I feel it’s the missing link for Denon DJ. So yes, the tool won’t win any UX prizes anytime soon, but let’s move past that and look at what’s under the hood: A fast and easy way to make your Rekordbox USB thumbs “SC5000 ready”. First, check out the video for the full explanation: The solution is still rough around the edges and needs some manual fixes to work, but in the end, it does the job. But that might change soon.Ī collective called ATGR Production Team created a tool called the Denon Conversion Utility that will adapt your Rekordbox USB thumb drive so it can be used with the SC5000 Prime as well. But if you are a Rekordbox user, and there are many of those out there, there is currently no way of converting Rekordbox data to Engine Prime. Engine Prime recognizes Serato DJ cue points and beat grids, and imports them. If you are coming from Serato DJ, the answer is no. ![]() With many top DJ’s making the switch to the new players, more and more DJ’s will feel tempted to at least give Engine Prime a try, and with that, the inevitable question will come:ĭo I need to re-analyze my entire collection? Rekord Buddy converts your track data and playlists between Serato, Traktor Pro, and Rekordbox DJ and until recently, it was probably all you needed.īut with the launch of the Prime Series hardware and the new Engine Prime, Denon DJ has come to shake things up. Each software has its own approach, and over the years we have seen many vendors come up with solutions to convert track information between DJ software packages.Ī very popular solution is Rekord Buddy. One of the biggest challenges in switching DJ software is the fact that cue points and beat grids are not stored in a common, universal format. Price: USD 27,95 until July 1st 2017, after that USD 34,95. ![]()
