About rekordbox

Features of rekordbox

rekordbox is an application for managing music files which can be played back

on a Pioneer DJ Player (i.e. CDJ-2000, CDJ-900).

— rekordbox can be used to classify and search for music files stored on

your computer and create playlists used for DJ performance.

— rekordbox allows you to detect, measure and adjust the beats, tempos

(BPM) and other elements of your music files prior to performance.

— rekordbox can be used to set and store point information (for cueing,

looping, hot cueing, etc.) prior to performance.

Data that has been detected and measured, as well as any points which have

been set and stored using rekordbox, can be used in combination with a Pioneer

DJ Player (i.e. CDJ-2000, CDJ-900) to achieve outstanding DJ performance.

QUANTIZE

By detecting and adjusting the beats of music files ahead of time using rekord-

box, cue and loop points, etc., can be set and played on beat even when the DJ

player buttons are pressed roughly.

CUE/

LOOP POINT MEMORY

By creating and saving cue/

loop points ahead of time using rekordbox, the cue/

loop points can be called out on the DJ players. Up to 10 cue/

loop points per

music file can be saved with rekordbox.

HOT CUE

By creating hot cues ahead of time on rekordbox, the hot cues can be called out

on the DJ players. Up to 3 hot cues per music file can be saved with rekordbox.

PLAYLIST

By creating playlists of favorite music files ahead of time using rekordbox, music

files can be selected quickly on the DJ players.

HOT CUE BANK LIST

Combinations of three hot cues (A, B and C) to be used on the DJ player can be

created with rekordbox as hot cue bank lists. Cues of different music files can be

combined and registered on the hot cue bank lists.

Multiple hot cue bank lists can be prepared, allowing you to quickly call out

and play a greater number of hot cue combinations than ever before on the DJ

players.

TAG LIST

In addition to playlists, music files you plan to play next can be temporarily col-

lected in rekordbox’s tag list. The rekordbox tag list can be shared on DJ play-

ers connected to the computer by LAN cable (up to 4 players). This function is

extremely convenient for selecting tracks during live performances using mul-

tiple DJ players reciprocally. For details, see Playback with a LAN cable connection

(PRO DJ LINK) on page 4.

HISTORY

The history of music files played on DJ players (track and point information) can

be fed back to rekordbox.
