How to Download & Install Rekordbox on a Windows PC
Mac All day….
After this process, can i use the USB to transfer those files to me pc so that i can upload them for sharing ?
no
I really need help installing because mine stopt at a point with installing every single time when I try again
whenever i analyse my tracks the export button doesn't appear do i need to have a usb button plugged in for the button to appear
yes
Hi I’m trying to download it and I’m on the page that says agree to terms, I checked on the agree button, but it doesn’t let me click download. What do I do?
contact pioneer
I copied another user problem and I have the same. Can you help with this? "Hi, for some reason when i try to select the flx4 as the audio device i can only select "DDJ-FL4 WASAPI" and it doesnt show the option to use my laptop speakers, and i cant hear anything. Im on windows. can anyone help?"
If you wanted Virtual DJ to be the best, you should have just made a video about Virtual DJ..... Pioneer is the most popular brand, obviously its software will be highly rated. Its the club/ festival/ industry standard. The real point is though- it doesn't matter- you can DJ perfectly fine on any of these, even the beatport one.
That it is most often used, doesn't necessarily mean it is best rated.
Ok so no to Apple? Yes to Hp? I have Hp and record box and I and not having the best experience so I was going to switch to Mac. May just just stick to HP
Yeah, I don't get the Apple appeal. Had Macs for 10 years, their OS is good, but hardware was drama without end.
@DP-lx1jn What version of Rekord box are you using?
VIRTUAL DJ IS KILLING EVERYONE BECAUSE IT IS USER FRIENDLY.❤
Yeeees, was waiting for you to come out with an updated video on this topic. Your stuff is dope, thanks for always putting out stellar content!
thanks FTR! Just curious, have you seen other content around the topic of me? My Music Production channel perhaps??
@@deejayplaza Yes! Sorry, thought you rebranded that channel. Yep! It was through your music production channel.
I USED A LENOVO AND STILL USING IT UP TO THIS DAY I ONLY HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH IT THE SCREEN WENT BAD
I'm so sorry for me be too subtle in the video because I don't want to get into politics. I'm also sorry for not knowing that 1 was statistically significant
@deejayplaza LOL
@deejayplaza The only Windows laptop that I have is a Lenovo Thinkpad X 240 running Windows 10 Pro other than that I run Ubuntu on my Lenovo X220i with Mixxx on it. Mixxx is stable and far less resource hungry than Serato, Virtual DJ, Traktor or De Juiced. For the private functions I do Mixxx running on Ubuntu which is mapped to the custom made Midi controllers that I built based on Ardunio boards. The only other stand alone controller that I am buying is the Dennon Prime 4 + and I can run Windows 10 Pro in a virtual machine inside Ubuntu Studio on my custom built NUC with external GPU and Sound Card outputting to my Motu M6
In my experience the big difference is the drivers. On PC laptop this just always sucks. I have an XPS and it just doesn’t want to do music. I fixed it once by removing the chipset driver. But its just too much hassle. Also running internal midi between apps isnt nice on Windows. Maybe its better on those new Qualcom laptops. Haven’t tried those yet. On my MacBook it is painless but then you have to put up with a screen where the keyboard is imprinted because Apple can’t build laptops properly and they will screw you over at every chance they get.
The XPS is infamous for its issues.... for years now That's why its on the non-recommended list
thanks bro
Thank you for all the extremely helpful information.
Glad it was helpful!
@deejayplaza I run DJ Pro on a Samsung S22 running through a Reloop Mixtour Pro. For some gigs I run Mixxx on Ubuntu and its less resource hungry. I am building out a NUC for private functions and moving to a stand alone controller.
Hi mate , i just got my 1 st dj deck Ddj Flx-4 . I made an acc to rekordbox and i linked the controller . I downloaded RB7 but cant get the free plan as you got it in vid . Mine show up there TRIAL , any advice please? I mention that im 100 % begginer , never touched a deck before , and a program like RB
Mine in the video is the expired trial version. Pioneer is extremely sneaky with their dark patterns
RecordBox ❤
I disagree that Rekordbox is the best. First Rekordbox uses a subscription model. Secondly, the idea of industry standard is rubbish -- this is not a qualification but a designation that UA-cam reviewers use say that it feels familiar to them. New DJ's have no idea of what is familiar. Traktor is the best software as it pertains to capabilities. No software is more capable than Traktor with support for Stems and Remix Decks. Traktor is also based on a perpetual license so that you don't have to pay monthly.
I disagree also. btw rekordbox is free when you let the trial expire.... hooray for Pioneer and their dark patterns
I exported the multiple playlist. But when i check the folder from the device my laptop. The song isnt inside of folder. Each song has a folder. And when i put my usb into rx2. The file is not inside of playlist. But in different folder name key. I confuse
me too
@@deejayplaza how to fix that?
New sub here as well. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you! welcome
Im user of serato and I cant agree with you about the grid. I can say its correct 90% of the times.
I was wondering why when I made a backup that the file was only half a GB in size. Didn’t know there was a bug in RB7 so you need to copy your music folder separately
I just said yes to the to get the Library plus but its not compatible to my XDJ-RX1. Do you know how I can comeback to the conventional library? Thanks '
i believe it exports both the usb. if not, reformat the drive
Someone made a usb for me so it’s got a lot of songs on etc, I now want to add songs onto that usb does my usb still need formatting when I plug it into my computer as he downloaded the songs on his laptop and then to the usb and then gave it me. Is there anyway I can plug that usb into my computer start downloading songs and also keep the old songs on the USB?
no, if its formatted wrong you need to reformat.
I LOVE VDJ ❤
you and me both :)
I am a Rekordbox user has subscription of creative plan for 2 years, by the way, i needed to recover my MacBook Pro computer, after macOS installation, i installed Rekordbox which is the version 7.05. Then, i was so disappointed, i asked: Where is the Rekordbox? Because there was another application with total different looking and options named Rekordbox 7.05. Such ridicolous. My question is: How can i get back to my previous Rekordbox? Why does Rekordbox change our Dj system that we have used? I must end my subscription, that is not acceptable situation. This is so rude. Shame on you Rekordbox. We are paying to you every month and what are you doing? What is that crap version called Rekordbox 7.05?
Thank you !
You're welcome!
❤ Traktor Pro ❤
Hi. Thank you for the videos. I'm new to Rekordbox. When I download tracks from beatport, I end up with multiple beatport files with the date. Can I merge these into one ?
you get one file per song, you can import them in rekordbox
@deejayplaza Thank you.
Just got a new sub, keep up the good work, need a vid on adding custom art work to xdj and cdj jog wheels 👌🏾
Heb jij een betaalde versie van rekordbox? Want ik krijg een heel ander scherm als ik op de sync manager klik
nope helemaal gratis. Je zou hetzelfde scherm moeten krijgen
Why nobody never speaks about PCDJ Dex3 ?
I thought that Serato purchase was blocked?
yeah eventually it was, but that was only a couple of weeks ago
Do you have to pay for the backup feature in rekorbox 7?
no, but I wouldnt be surprised if Pioneer introduced it tomorrow. Everything slightly useful needs to be behind a monthly fee paywall in their opinion
Virtual dj for 3 is mental 💀
The timeline seems off I think you missed a few releases Cdj-300 (1992) Cdj-500 (1994) Cdj-500s (1997) Cdj-100s (1998) Cdj-1000mk1 (2001) Cdj-800 (2002) Dvj-x1 (2004) Cdj-200 (2005) Cdj-400 (2007) Cdj-900 (2009) Cdj-2000 (2009) Cdj-350 (2010) Cdj-850 (2010) Cdj-2000nxs (2012) Cdj-900nxs (2013) Cdj-2000nxs2 (2016) Cdj-3000 (2020)
haha, by the time I went through all of them, everybody would have fallen asleep and youtube wouldn't promote the video, and you wouldnt have seen it, or be able to comment that I missed a "few"
How is the second best name in HiFi at your local Walmart also the leader in DJ Gear??
dude c'mon , i hope you are joking ...
thank you very much for this fantastic work!🙏 this helped me a lot to refresh my knowledge about the system👍
Glad it helped!
Would any edits or changes made using the flash drive for our songs be saved when we use a different device for Rekordbox? For context, I am using a Pioneer DJ FLX4 and have songs downloaded from my computer on a USB drive for if I use my friends laptop. So if any changes were made using my friends laptop which is using the flashdrive, would they be saved if I used it again on my primary computer?
I dont follow
It’s crazy how outdated this is but it’s still in clubs. It even loads songs slow. Denon killed this…
Rekordbox being sluggish? I'm running it on a Mac Studio M2 Ultra and it certainly doesn't feel that way. Disclaimer: no I haven't used it on older hardware.
have you tried other software?
i have exported playlist in usb drive and it was working on cdj but i did again and now it dosen’t work anymore.. the cdj is reading the usb but the playlist dosen’t appear ? Is this because im using the free version ?
no. try re-exporting it. usbs are not every reliable media
If you accidently delete a memory que how do you get it back?
you don't
I use to export using sync manager but since I upgraded to rekordbox 7 sync manager option is gone now i have to export one by one
sync manager gone?? it is here in the video. why do you want to export it one by one? far easier to select all the playlists at once, or right click on collection en choose export
VDJ is literally the best, it can read rekordbox playlist and hotcues plus serato crates and hotcues as well. VDJ stems is the best in the market even better than serato. Serato is over priced and slow. VDJ is cheaper & faster in anyway.
Vdj stems is the best
Could someone explain to me why in the sources on the left there is the Itunes music application? Does this mean that we can import our music directly from the application? Does this mean that we can also use spotify or not? Because I don't have itunes music. Also, if we import music directly from our files, does that mean we have to download them one by one beforehand? In other words, convert each track from youtube to mp3. Sorry for my questions, I'm just starting out in djing and everything seems complex. Thx in advance :)
first, never use youtube as source because of quality and copyrights. You can use the itunes local library on your computer, not apple music. iTunes is only there for legacy purposes, don't use it in 2024. you can't use streaming from other services than are integrated with RB, spotify is notoriously not one of them. And still, don't rely on streaming services: they can remove any track at any time, and you always need an internet connection in a crowded club with shotty wifi or cell phone signal (because there are 200 cellphones around).
@@deejayplaza Thank you very much for your detailed reply. ☺ Could you please recommend a nice streaming platform for downloading my sounds?
this was so helpful. thank you very much<3
You're so welcome!
Started on Rekordbox 5, Kept my 5 library and went to 6 on another drive. Kept using 5 and thought "surely 7 will be better" Still on RB 5. I'm really tempted to move off of the "pioneer" ecosystem at this point. I absolutely do not need anything more than 5 can give me but I'm unsure that if I upgrade hardware I can use it. Also WHY IN THE HELL are the preferences not stored int eh database?
Pioneer is fine.
