RBDJ with Rane MP2014/MP2015 mixers and SL2/SL3/SL4 interfaces

Hello - Rekordbox DJ currently works in Performance mode via USB with built-in internal soundcards of Rane MP2015 and MP2014 as well as SL2/SL3/SL4 interfaces which is FANTASTIC (thank you), but is there any chance of this ever changing, or will these mixers and interfaces always be supported? Also, will Rekordbox DVS work with these products as well? We are in the process of making a lot of future planning decisions in regards to hardware/software and need some official answers on this. Thanks

I would love to give you guarantees about the future support with other companies products but afraid I can't.  The industry changes and companies change their direction, Pioneer has always been good about support with others and their gear, but can't predict the future on this.  I think that RBDJ will maintain a working relationship with the products mentioned, but don't have a specific list for other mixers or boxes.

www.Rekordbox.com has a full list of supported gear if that helps.

Thanks for quick response. Much appreciated. 

 

Are you saying with "RBDJ will maintain a working relationship with the products mentioned" that these Rane models mentioned above are all officially supported by Pioneer and that's why they work now? If so, why would that ever change? 

Also, I went to the ink you provided for "list of supported gear, but didn't see a list. I did however find this via a separate search and do not see any Rane products listed. https://rekordbox.com/en/products/rekordboxdj/function.php

The list is only for Pioneer gear on the Rekordbox page.  Other gear that is working now is not always an officially announced thing.  Can I say it will always, no, it comes down to both companies and where they go in the future.  Like I said, it is unclear who will do what with RBDJ down the road but I hope it will continue to grow with other companies support.  For now buy Pioneer gear and you'll have the best experience using Rekordbox and Rekordbox DJ.

"Other gear that is working now is not always an officially announced thing." – Does this mean that the MP2014, MP2015, SL2, SL3, SL4 are all currently supported by RBDJ, but just not announced? If so, why would this not be announced? If not supported, how is it that they are they all currently working with RBDJ? 

"Can I say it will always, no, it comes down to both companies and where they go in the future." – If these Rane models are currently supported (which they ARE working now), why would anything change in the future since the hardware is already produced? Are you saying Pioneer might change their RBDJ software in the future to NOT work with this hardware? If so, why would they do that? 

 

"For now buy Pioneer gear and you'll have the best experience using Rekordbox and Rekordbox DJ." – Appreciate the recommendation, but this is not practical for countless real world scenarios. Also keep in mind that Pioneer doesn't offer mixers that fit many of our needs. Perhaps they will in future, but they just don't now.

Ok. I will end this with this advice. Buy what works best for your needs and budget, Pioneer has an expansive line of DJ gear that fits the majority of pro DJs but not all. If you would like to suggest a different line please add to our product suggestion at the top of the page. Good luck with all your DJ events and projects!
