Hi, I can't see my rekordbox playlist on rekord buddy, to transfer to serato. any soluce please ?
Is it just me, or is this an obvious feature that should just be included in dj software?
Hey Traktor!? Want to save that sinking ship? Spend a day and figure out how to import your competitors' libraries.
Where I can download Rekord Buddy? Can someone help? Thanks!
What if your Rekordbox Library appears empty inside of Rekord Buddy?
does anyone have a link too record buddy 2? the link in the video does not work
Where the eff do I download Rekord Buddy 2.0???
I love how for the last 2 years, Rekordbuddy has said "coming to Windows soon". How about just putting out a statement saying "We will never support Windows because we think "real DJ's" only use Mac". Been wanting to transfer my Serato library (cues and all) to RB with 'Buddy always screaming "coming soon" for nearly 2 years. Maybe they need to research the definition of "soon".
It took indeed forever but for what it's worth it's out in beta on Windows now... (and everyone knows real DJs use vinyl ;).
@@damiensirkis5196 it's worth...NOTHING! The beta isn't for Windows...again.
@@tharukkus err... not sure where you are looking but the 2.2beta I released last week is for both Windows and macOS. Feel free to contact me via the next.audio forums and I can direct you to the right place if you want to try it out.
@@damiensirkis5196 will do. See you there
It's in Beta on Windows now :)
I swear Crossfader must have been reading my mind because I had this question 2 days ago.
NOCDIB haha Mind-readers
Tried all of these but record box is not showing cue points although the XML import is showing cue points ... Pls help
Does anybody have the link to download the software ??
It doesn't show any "Export collection in xml format"option in my Rekordbox 6.0. Can anybody help me? Need to transfer collection to Traktor
Nikki Z. Download the 5.6.0 version
How can I download rekordbuddy? I can't find it anywhere
Same, where can you download rekotdbuddy
Seems like the website of Rekord Buddy is down? I cant download it anywhere...
I can't either...
@@tauredthedj Scroll up to @Damien Sirkis he has a link in his comment.
Thanks bro...I'm moving from Serato to Rekordbox and I was sad this might be a horrible transferring experience, reseting cues and all.
excellent tutorial, I wanted to tell you how to do if I have the music base in serato, to load new songs, since I can not find the way, I would greatly appreciate a tutorial on that.
In my rekordbox there are playlists but in rekord buddy I don't see it. Please help me.
Doesn't work anymore on macOS. Try CrossDJ 4 or CrossDJ 4 Pro (seamless) Doesn't transfer the Names of cue points though.
Are all previously set tags also adopted? e.g. my color-coded tracks in serato that I need in rekordbox.
Question:
I make a backup copy of my music.
But, by using Rekord Buddy Serato and Rekordbox will read from the same folder or I need (or the buddy makes one)?
Also, will it be simpler when just making (transferring) my Serato collection to Rekordbox for the first time (empty Rekordbox)?
Very good question, it's a shame you haven't gotten a response.
No link for Windows anymore, paid for this a few years back and doesn't work anymore, bummer- worked pretty good too!
how do i get the software ?
Rekordbuddy is a real pain in the ass. From 1000 tracks, after you migrate from a software to another, 70% have shifted all cue points. If you want to transfer tracks from Rekordbox, or Serator, to Traktor, then you cannot protect your Traktor collection and your entire collection is damaged. I am a Rekordbuddy for 3 years. In all this time they release alot of updates, all full of bugs. If you take a look on their forum you will see that all users have problems with this app. For the services and support that they provide, the app is very expensive. I can recommand to all DJ's, if they want to use a similar app, to search for DJ Conversion Utility. And you guys, from Crossfader, If you are not paid for this "review" then you should try the other app and make a comparation between them.
You may have solved my issue of the day!!
Hi, I do so but in the end most of my tracks have no HOT CUES when I plug my pendrive into the console... only few tracks have it as i pointed. what is wrong ?
I use a external hard drive I plug in VirtualDJ how would that work?
The download link in description is dead. Is Rekordbuddy 2 obsolete or is there a way to get it somehow ?
Mixvibes does it too,but how can i export history lists to rekordbox?
Does it transfer video and mp3 mixed on the playlist? How about the cue points?
How about if iTunes and rekordbox music is not showing up iTunes symbol is not even showing. But serato is. What do I do in rekord buddy?
Can this be done if a friend of mine who has Serato is trying to give me music? I have rekordbox and I would like to keep his cue points
not all my cue points were transferred
You don't have to drag and drop the playlist in Serato like you have to do in Rekordbox?
Any idea if it will work with Denon’s Engine software as well any time soon?
It will be added to the 2.2beta this month.
@@damiensirkis5196 Fantastic news, thank you!
why when I drug the xml file to Rekord body its say error....?
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks.
I have 0 playlists in my Rekordbox . How can i transfer my serato playlists with rekord buddy? Should i drag and drop all my zillion crates , one by one into Rekordbox? Seems stupid ,no?😅 or maybe is there a way but you don’t say it :)
When will we see a PC version
Will it transfer my files from "tracktor scratch pro" to "traktor dj"? I used to play on traktor z2 mixer which is traktor scratch pro software and recently i bought s2 mk3 controller which is traktor dj software. They both are from traktor but there software are different. I hope u understand what I'm saying big bro. Please help me.
Engine Prime support?
I have watched the video, and I maybe missing something. Does the software make copies of the files? So mp3's for rekordbox and for serato(what i use)? Thanks for the video, this is something I have been thinking about, because I am a bedroom dj at the moment using Serato and I thought if I was asked to play in a club and it was pioneer cdjs I would not know what to do. Ive never used rekordbox.
:Leon :Edwards. Hi Leon. There’s more info on ‘copying’ here we hope this helps. docs.next.audio/using-rekord-buddy/2-syncing Thanks for your comment
As of now Rekord Buddy doesn't copy or move your track files. All the different programs (rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, Engine Prime) are made to use the same files in the same location.
@@Crossfader Thank you for the link.
@@damiensirkis5196 Thank you, Damien, that is what I was attempting to find out. Appreciate that bro.
@@damiensirkis5196 @crossfader I have a question gents, if i transfer a playlist from Rekordbox to Serato, will I still see that playlist in my actual rekordbox program and be able to play tracks off that playlist? or will i only now be able to play that playlist in Serato?
HI , i AM TRYING TO INSTALL THE REKORD BUDDY AND IT SAYS ALL YOUR MUSIC FILES WILL BE WIPE ,i DONT HAVE ANY BACK UP ,COULD SOMEONE GIVE ME AN ADVICE PLEASE?? MANY THANKS
Yeah, back up your music. That is the first step. If you don't, you will regret it some day, that's for sure.
No mixvibes cross?
Not at this time but could be added in a future release if the demand is there.
After installing the 2.0 beta record buddy, I can no longer open the record buddy. Or search, reset your database, or, can't create a local record buddy database. I installed multiple times, deleted registries, exported to my music record box xml file, just always the same message, can't create a local record buddy database. I note that I have a Serato Pro and a record box and until the beta was installed, everything worked perfectly. I'm just not smart anymore what to do. I often see these questions on forums but there are no answers anywhere. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. thank you for your reply.
Nice tips, good news that this is possible, thanks man, exactly what I need!
What exactly is the subscription fee for? Updates Alone??? That’s a ripoff
I made a post a long time ago on the next.audio forums on why I decided to switch to subscriptions. Rest assured that that decision wasn't made lightly. I respect your opinion though.
Damien Sirkis I think your missing my point . My point wasn’t why people use subscription services . My point was why is there a subscription for Rekord Buddy itself . It seems to only be a file management software . It doesn’t offer streaming music
@@stevenmaneri1972 You are correct, it does not offer streaming music. But then again there are many apps around the world which don't offer streaming music and are still sold via subscriptions.
@@stevenmaneri1972 I agree 100%, it makes no sense to pay an addl $29 a year for a file management software. I think it's great you guys came up with this software but c'mon guys let's NOT be greedy.
serato to traktor pro 3 results in traktor saying file not found or corrupted etc warnings
Does it work with VirtualDJ?
steve gee I was asking the same question in my mind
steve gee Only Rekordbox, Traktor, Serato & ITunes at the moment
VDJ support is planned for a future release.
You can export and sync the playlist but can't transfer the hotcue
Can someone help me?
I play in a Rekordbox controller, my friend also plays in a Rekordbox controller.
But if we want to play B2B, how can I export my playlists to his Rekordbox? I mean, I can select the music files and put them in his collection, but this way my CUEs and HotCues won't appear on his Rekordbox, I would have to set them all from 0, before I start to play on his computer
Can i transfer from VirtualDJ to rekordbox ?
Sure can.
@@Crossfader so cool how can I go to the official site can you give the www address?
Thanks Buddy
A question to ask, if you transfered a folder from Traktor to Serato and then a month later you had added something to the original Traktor folder, would it reflect in the 2nd Serato one or do you have to drag and drop the Traktor V2 folder over? Would it duplicate or just add the missing files in the folder to reflect the changes?
Would like to know if I change in one, would it auto reflect in the other. Thank you
Same question from me, but transferring from Rekordbox to Traktor
You would have to replace the old file in Serato with the new one to get any adjustments. They do not sync any changes. Its just a file
so helpful! Great tutorial
I transfered my playlists from traktor to rekordbox just opening both softwares selecting the tracks of the playlist drag and drop! 🤷🏼♂️
With cues and beat grids?
Serato to rekordbox works, nothing to or from traktor works tho.
So I'm already 800 tracks into my 1200 (re adding them to playlists and re cue pointing) so to save 50 I think I'll just stick to it 😂
Great software though and awesome use ability
It dosent transfer the tracks with the cue points!
Are the hot cues accurate or will they need to be to be offset when dealing with compressed audio? A different conversion software will shift all my hot cues off grid. Kind of waste of time converting, if my all my hot cues are 1/16 of a beat forward of the downbeat.
ryan leatherwood Through our experience we did not have this issue and it worked perfectly.
Thanks Ryan
Crossfader awesome I’m looking forward to using it.
The issue you are describing comes from the encoding of certain MP3 files. I'll be completely transparent and say I still get reports of files that fall thru the cracks with my own checks from time to time. Whenever that happens I ask for a copy of the file and implement a better check for the next release. It's a bit of a wack-a-mole game but we are getting there.
@@damiensirkis5196 Thank you for chiming in and developing a software for us non coding DJs. Sounds like a bit of complicated hocus pocus. I'm also having alot of issues with AAC files. Would you say Mp3s have more or less codec variances?
Does it not work with Virtual DJ ?
Dj Positive P it does not unfortunately
@@Crossfader thanks for the reply! I think there are many virtual DJ users that would like to convert their library to serato or rekordbox
VDJ support is planned for a future release.
i use windows explorer and keep my tracks in order under set files. Whats more explorer comes free with windows so no need to pay for a subscription to use drag and drop. i can use this technique with all dj software and music players and im not limited! also works with photos and videos etc. lol
not sure why djs throw all their tunes into 1 folder and then make "play lists" within their chosen software. seems like a dumb way to do stuff. i guess djs who cant be arsed to sort their tunes out natively deserved to be cashcowed :]
That's a great solution for tracks and playlists but it doesn't transfer your beatgrid, cues points and specific metadata like track colors between software. Rekord Buddy does takes care of that.
who else have the "unknown company AlphaTeta" error ?
Best to just set all your music up in iTunes so you can access it through every DJ Software
from Recordbox to Traktor, don't work
Too bad, that this software is deprecated and no longer in development. The move to open source did not work out, either.
No windows version
sylvio spadafino not yet unfortunately
Windows is out in beta right now.
@@damiensirkis5196 can I join the beta?
@@sylviospadafino3277 It's a public beta but you need a valid Rekord Buddy license to use the beta build. If you prefer a stable build, just keep an eye on our forums to see when 2.2 is officially released.
@@damiensirkis5196 never mind
Skip to 1:47
IF U HAVENT COME UP WITH A WINDOW VERSION U STILL HAVENT SUCCEEDED ..LATER
You can also just drag the songs from serato to rekordbox. Select your songs from serato and drag them into a Rekordbox playlist. (It’s possible to select all songs from a playlist at once
Does this include memory cue points on the selected tracks from Serato?
@@YVR_Manuel NO, But it's a quick way to transfer the tracks
What a ripoff.
For fuck sake its cost money its piece of a wallet
