RBDJ - Various questions

Hi

I have written a list of questions that I have not managed to solve by myself. I hope your supreme support will help me get these headaches away.

I have DDJ-RZ and DDJ-XP1 with a relativly strong PC and super-fast SSD. RBDJ latest 5.4.1

So here it is:

  1. How Show/hide Rec-panel med keyboard shortcut?

  2. How do I get rid of all duplicates that shows up when create a SMART-playlist?
    It seems like it counts and show every time a song is in a playlist. I have 4 of every song...
    I have a SMART-playlist that show all songs since beginning of 2017 (as conditions).
    Very irritating. How do I solve it?
    Otherwise the SMART-playlist is a very powerful tool that I really love! Makes things easier.

  3. How do a slip-loop that "contiues" when "release it".

  4. How to "bulk-UN-ACTIVE" Auto-beat-loops. Say I have a playlist were I wanna unactive all active loops. So that the ABL not start auto.

  5. On the XP1 you can "skip to next track" by pressing shift+Load. Is there any MIDI or other setting I can do so I also can "go back one track"?

  6. Also I wonder if I can press "Play" for a song in any way on the XP1? Not start by Hot Cue. I mean press PLAY. And assign it on the "BEat-sync-button"

  7. If I have multiple DVS and RBDJ-licenses, is there any good reason to save all the licenses or is it smarter to sell the licens I dont use? Is it allowed to sell it? I wanna know if there could be any reason I dont can think of so I will regret the sell in the future

  8. I would love to be able to click on the album-art inside RBDJ and see it show zoomed in a bigger image in middle of the screen. Just to be able to look at album-art in bigger image would be great.
    The album-art is also what sets the mood.

  9. How to erase "Genre" from objects that already existing inside the list?

  10. Would love if it was possible to choose the color of "the track playing right now"
    Now it is bold green. I see it, no problem, but that custiomization would give the little extra edge on personalization and also to be able to work with contrasting colors more direct. Color-persiving is so individual so I would like to test other colors. Like the ones used on Hot cues for example. That would be enough to start with.

  11. I wann Also to be able to see what time it is when "dragging the mouse-marker"over the waveform. So I can get a better understanding in time. More time showing on cuepoints too.

  12. Is there any easy way to "change" the "SLICER-BUTTON" to become the "BEAT JUMP-BUTTON" on my DDJ-RZ. Or do I have to go in and customize and change EVERY value for every button under MIDI!?
    For example, On my XP1 there is a PAD-menu where I can choose a little bit more freely. Is there any way to do this on my RZ?
    I am little affraid to change under MIDI and very time-consuming. Much that CAN go wrong and so on.I tried just to switch the settings on only those Two buttons but realised that every pad must be set..Any suggestions or advice to solve? I never, or almost never, use Slicer, but Beatjump would be supreme to have closer. Then I would start use that more.

 

Many questions, I have saved for some time. Hope you can give good answers. I really looking forward to hear. I love Rekordbox DJ.

 

Thank you in advance.

1. No keyboard shortcuts to toggle that, but you can remap the FX PANEL or SAMPLER PANEL buttons from the RZ to act as the REC PANEL control:

Alternatively, you could simply add keyboard shorcuts for the the recording controls:

2. Duplicates will only appear if you have duplicates in your collection. I'd start there.

3. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.

4. No way to do that, sorry.

5. Yes; map it out as you see fit:

Just hit it twice if the track only jumps to the start.

6. Yep:

You'll just have to un-map the BEAT SYNC button first.

7. If you have multiples, sell'm! Make some cash back! That was my huge selling point on the DDJ-XP1; if you already owned a rekordbox dj product / license, the cost of the XP1 is about $249US, but includes a $129 dj license, and a $99 dvs license, making the cost of the hardware $21!!

8. The best you can get is by changing the preferences to have the largest line-space sizing, then show the full-size album art here: 

Unfortunately, that's as big as it gets.

9. Those are drawn from entries within your collection. To remove them, sort by that genre, select all the tracks you want to edit, click the info panel open, then delete the genre for them and it will edit all tracks simultaneously to remove that genre.

10. Sorry, no preference for that option.

11. No ability for that, but you'll get used to looking at the interface to know where you are in the track, especially once you know these markers indicate 1 minute elapsed:

12. Sorry, no PAD MODE for the RZ, but we're hoping they add it for all products down the road. Unfortunately the only way to do it is to manually re-map it all in the MIDI editor.

Thank you so much! Very appreciated. And your images makes it so clear!! =)
The markings for 1 minute is awsome!

I only have two follow-up-questions:

  1. I have no duplicate in my library (regarding question 2 above). I have checked several songs that are duplicates in the smart playlist and all point at same song in same folder in explorer.
  2. I want to assign MT to shift+LOAD-button. (As I now changed MT to "go back one track" and BeatSync to "Forward one track".
    But the shift+LOAD button seem to be connected to the browse rotary knob!? Exactly what attribute should solve this?

 

Again your support is supreme! I am very satisfied with your answers and time it must have taken to do. =)
