key matching track in green RB DJ?

I agree. The answers I have seen so far are:
  -look at your Matching Tracks panel on the right side. Not great.
  -use Mixed In Key to write to your comments.  Not great.
  -other people have manually gone through all the keys, sorted them, and batch edited them to the Camelot notation. Sadly, this seems to be the best solution, but is a modest effort.

I wish RB had an extra paid module for Camelot notation, or a clever automated macro to automate the batching solution.

All of these are not great solutions. As much as I hate Ser*to, it was much easier to match the keys.

UGH thank Rob.

I must say I am pretty shocked by the lack of this feature.  Is Pioneer really doing an Apple with iPhones?  Leaving one common feature out just so they can try to sell an upgrade, or in this case push linked CDJs with a feature that everyone includes as standard for controller software. 

I use the related tracks window and it's not great (needs to be customisable - eg add the star rating etc to the view and make it easier to search/filter)... Otherwise, I too would like to see the key matching colour system.

tw332,

Just found the Related Tracks function.  While clunky it does most of what I was looking for.  Through the options menu (cog above related tracks window), you can set it to show closely related track by key and have it look just in your current playlist.  

I take back what I said before, this function is in RB. The implementation is not the best, at least for my needs.

Honestly, the matching tracks function within rekordbox is one of its best functions -- and sorry, @Rob, Serato DJ doesn't even have this feature, you'd have to match manually.

@vivid > What is it about the implementation you have troubles with?

@Pulse

I created this post because it was not an obvious feature with in RB.  In fact, initially I thought maybe it was not a feature.  I think a better way to implement would be have it built into the playlist or main song selection window.  Maybe add another color to indicate matched key, or add a column with an icon to show key match.

When looking for my next track key is not my only consideration.  I'd rather browse my own created playlists and be able to see what was in key or use my own judgement, rather than have a separate window that only showed matched tracks.

I guess the current method works, but why have two playlists (user created & related tracks) when you only need one.

Because not every DJ works the same way you do. ;)

True True,

Made this over the weekend, before I knew about the key matching option.  I guess my ears still work too :D

Yeah, the Matching Tracks is a GREAT feature, but the real power comes out if you have your library in perfectly organized condition, which I don't.

The bad condition of my library is my own fault, but the biggest failure of Matching Tracks is the CRITERIA button. I want to match BPM / Key AND History AND Matching. The pulldown menu only allows for a single selection, which doesn't make sense to me, and doesn't allow it to be as useful as it could be when playing on the fly.

I would like to see the option of selecting all 3 options, where Matched tracks appear at the top (because you have already done the work to manually say they are good), then show the ones attached to History, then finally show the ones matching all the criteria. This format would prioritize what has worked in the past, followed by new suggestions at the bottom.
