Have some questions after my first 20h

1) Can I store the songs in my collection in a specified folder? So that moving or renaming them in my normal library doesn't affect rekordbox

2) How can I transfer songs/playlists with cues and all to my laptop for gigs and whatnot?

3) I only get Related Track suggestions for Deck 1. Is it possible to get them for Deck 2? It's a little frustrating to always have to load the Deck 2 track onto Deck 1 to get suggestions.

4) How can I deactivate Vinyl mode on my DDJ-RB? Whenever I touch the top of my jogwheel to adjust the beatmatching it stops the music

5) dynamic analysis is complicated. Can I only analyse specific songs dynamically but keep the standard on normal mode? I only have few rock and funk and jazz tracks that don't have constant bpm and would require a dynamic beatgrid. Also, can I set a dynamic limit for the analysis? Some songs suddenly switch between 90 and 150bpm although there's no such change, only perhaps a prolonged pause or something. Can't I tell rekordbox to not vary more than 5bpm within one song when dynamically analysing?

6) Not that big of a deal, but is there an option to get a warning or block when I accidentally load a track onto an active Deck? Traktor has this, I believe.

Would be awesome if somebody could help me answer some of these.

For the record, all of the answers to your questions can be found within the rekordbox user manual, but here goes:

1) No. If you move or rename a track outside of rekordbox, the software will not recognize the new location/file name.

2) To your laptop from where?

3) You can change these settings here:

4) You can assign a keyboard shortcut to switch between vinyl and cdj jog modes.

5) You should only be using Dynamic analysis mode on tracks that have varying BPMs, such as tracks played by a live band or tracks that transition from slow to fast or fast to slow.

6) Yes, engage Load Lock.

Regarding 4), Turn outer section of the jogwheel. The pitch bend operation is possible.
