Rekordbox/DJ/DVS feedback

It's good to be back. Things look very different now. I guess that works with the new direction of the company.

So I've been putting some time in on Rekordbox lately and I quite like it. After fixing the Intel GPU issue, I've found it to be quite good.

Using DVS timecode with my old CDJ800mk1's and T1 I find it to respond much better than TSP (2.1.10), timecode. Records seem to be quite light on the ground. I doubt I will get my hands on some before my 30 day trial expires.

I found (as I suspect others have) that it is very resource intensive. Many times moreso than TSP. I've had a few crashes in performance/dvs mode. I'm not sure I would rely on it for a gig yet.

My main feature request is: MIDI control in export mode. I have a quite nice midi map for my Traktor Kontrol F1 to work with hot cues and transport control. I would love to be able to use this in export mode as it's much nicer than clicking away on the mousepad. It would be really easy to add memory cue assignment capability to my midi mapping too. I imagine this would work even better on the SP-1.

Othewise it isn't too shabby in the slightest.

PS: 64 bit drivers for the T1 would still be nice.

Hi sorry to hijack your post but I have not been able to anything helpful online, I have some cdj 1000 mk3 and a djm 750 and can not get them to work with the Rekordbox dvs system. Not sure I f I have the to have inputs on  cd/line or usb? I have down loaded the latest drivers and seem to be getting a signal when calibrating. Any idea on how to connect properly would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

Dr Nation, I plugged my cd's into the line inputs, set the input on the mixer to usb. Then opened the Pioneer utility, set the input channels to the line inputs, opened the software and everything was working perfectly.

Here are my configurations
The second one is the audio configuration page in RBDJ
Hope this helps.

Hi again the only difference i have found in set up is in the RBDJ input setting your setting has input deck 1 and input deck 2 USB

on my RBDJ input settings the only option i have is TIMECODE/CD LINE or REC

Any help would be amazing .

Not trying to be funny but have you clicked on Activate DVS? I think I had to do that with mine.

Also can you maybe post a screenshot of the settings in Rekordbox and utility. On windows the tool to grab it is called 'Snipping Tool'

If you just hit play yourself in rekordbox performance, do you get music playing through the DJM?

Ok so maybe in rekordbox preferences try deselecting input channels 3 and 4, the setting utility isn't sending timecode to those Then deselect input record. If you can't deselect it, try putting it to channel 3 or 4.
