![]() ![]() For any serious DJ making playlists regularly, this means a lot of manual work. ITunes organizers can see all of their playlists in Denon Engine – but the playlist/folder hierarchy is broken, with every playlist from every folder appearing at the same level. Currently iTunes playlists have no structured hierarchy / folders in Engine Prime Remember the campaign tagline for the SC5000s was #SwitchYourRider – implying that Pioneer CDJ users were the focus. If you’re lucky enough to have your entire library in Serato DJ, you can import it into Engine Prime – but that’s not the target audience of Denon’s new players. For our review of the SC5000s, Denon did note that an “elegant solution” was “coming soon” for this process, but we’re almost one month later with no more information. If you want to move your Rekordbox library into Denon’s Engine Prime, there’s no direct way to do it now. There’s nothing official out yet, but the just-launched Denon Conversion Utility offers one solution. For DJs coming from Rekordbox, it feels like there should be an easy, no-hassle way to turn a CDJ-ready USB drive into an Engine Prime compatible library. Particularly if you’re an organizational nut like myself and/or really into trying all sorts of software, I can confidently say that Rekord Buddy 2.0 is worth checking out.Įditor’s Note: We’ve reached out to Next Audio Labs to see what they’ll allow us to show / tell you all about in the new software and we’ll update this article or create a new one when we get details.One of the main hesitations for DJs considering switching to the new Denon SC5000 players is the demands of switching to a new track organization system. The software does do exactly what it advertises, and I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Unfortunately as part of the terms of the beta I am not able to give many details on the software in its current state. I’ve purchased the beta license for Rekord Buddy 2.0 and have spent some time with it. The thinking is: users willing to pay the cost of the software up front are more likely to be invested in the beta process. Next Audio Labs wants beta users that are serious about using the software and willing to actively report on any issues while still in a testing phase. This will certainly prevent some DJs from joining the beta – but that’s also the point. Cleverly, the current purchase price is discounted to try and entice more people to join the beta. The software license for the beta will extend into the full release version. You have to purchase the software before being able to download the beta version. While Rekord Buddy 2.0 is in public beta, it’s a paid public beta. With this software, DJs can be more prepared to play on any of the three major DJ platforms without more investment in library prep time. Your entire DJ library is imported and all of your metadata is synced across Rekordbox, Serato, and Traktor.Īs a DJ who has taken the time previously to analyze my library multiple times, just to have it available in more than one software, this saves a tremendous amount of time. The new version of Rekord Buddy makes this process as effortless as possible. Gone are the days of having to analyze your library more than once, setting beat grids and cue points multiple times, just to have the flexibility to move between different platforms. Say you feel like playing on Traktor for one gig then you for your next gig you feel like using Rekordbox on flash drives, with Rekord Buddy 2.0 this isn’t an issue at all. ![]() This is the first and seamless method of syncing your library’s metadata across multiple platforms. ![]() Rekord Buddy 2.0 is quite a big deal for digital DJs.
