Features of rekordbox
Music files are automatically analyzed, enabling advanced DJ performance
MUSIC FILE ANALYSIS
By analyzing music files with rekordbox, you can obtain and display a variety of data during DJ performances, including waveforms, beats and tempos (BPM). For example:
! When analyzed music files are loaded into a DJ player, the waveform information is displayed immediately to provide the DJ with a visual of the track.
! The quantize function of rekordbox or a DJ player (e.g. CDJ-2000nexus, CDJ-2000, CDJ-900, XDJ-AERO, XDJ-R1) can be used to easily set accurate cues and loops.
! Accurate, stable BPM information can be displayed and checked instantaneously. In addition, the beat sync function can be used to mix sound synchronizing the tempos
(BPM) and beats of multiple DJ players (e.g. CDJ-2000nexus) or the left and right decks (e.g. XDJ-AERO, XDJ-R1).
The functions that can be used in association with Pioneer DJ units and rekordbox depend on the DJ units you are using.
BEAT GRID
The beat positions (beats) detected when music files are analyzed are displayed as a grid of dots or lines on the enlarged waveform display.
QUANTIZE
rekordbox can be used to detect and adjust the beat patterns of your music files before you perform with your DJ unit. This allows you to set and play cues, loops, and effects
exactly on beat with your DJ unit, by automatically correcting any timing mistakes that are made when you press buttons.
CUE/LOOP POINT MEMORY
Cue and loop points can be set and stored ahead of time with rekordbox and then called on the DJ player. Up to 10 cue/loop points per music file can be saved with rekordbox.
Also, loops created with rekordbox can be extracted and output to WAVE files.
HOT CUE
Hot cues that you stored beforehand using rekordbox can be called on your DJ player. With rekordbox, up to three hot cues can be stored per music file.
HOT CUE BANK LIST
With rekordbox, combinations of the three hot cues (A, B and C) you want to use on the DJ player can be created as hot cue bank lists. Cues from different music files can be
combined and registered in hot cue bank lists.
Multiple lists may be prepared, allowing you to quickly access a greater number of hot cue combinations than ever before on your DJ players.
BEAT SYNC
By analyzing music files using rekordbox, it is possible to use a wide variety of effects and to mix the sound synchronizing the tempos (BPM) and beats between multiple DJ
players (or between the left and right decks), greatly expanding the range of DJ performances.
