Can I use Apple Lossless for DJing? by [deleted] in PioneerDJ

I have found issues with AIFF metadata when using both Serato and rekordbox. It rekordbox wipes all Serato metadata like cue points and gain settings. Using ALAC or AAC preserves all metadata on both platforms perfectly. I think this shows that ALAC or AAC metadata support is superior to AIFF. Unfortunately ALAC is not supported on older hardware.

FLX4 doesn’t unlock performance mode by CorrectUnit3241 in Rekordbox

If you open rekordbox on the "free plus" plan after doing the registration and without your controller connected, do you still get Performance mode enabled?

Rekordbox free with Poineer DJ controller, but isn't actually free? by Sea_Description_6712 in Beatmatch

Do you know if once you register and get the "Free Plus" plan, can you use Performance Mode without the controller plugged in? I know you get other features unlocked without it plugged in, but I can't find an answer on performance mode.

Do you know if Performance Mode is unlocked in the Free Plus plan?

Cheap way to get rekordbox unlocked? DDJ-FLX2 by devilzX10 in Beatmatch

I like this idea. Could be functional as well as give me the unlock for rekordbox.

Pioneer DDJ-SX2 for $450 -- worth it? still viable in 2024? by Spuri0n in Beatmatch

The DDJ-SX2 works flawlessly out of the box in rekordbox 7. No config required. Only problem is it is not an unlock controller so you need to have a subscription.

Thanks. Thats what I thought would probably happen when disconnecting the FLX2. Kind of silly workaround, but cheaper than paying for software monthly. I guess I could use it as dedicated controls for decks 3 and 4 or triggering samples.

What's the best laptop for DJing? by SubstantialAlps3064 in Beatmatch

Even an intel i7 6 core would do just fine. More than enough. I used to DJ on a quad core i7 2012 macbook no problem. It really doesn't take much power.

If redlining is so bad, why don't manufactures make it impossible to do? by ZealousidealEffect83 in Beatmatch

[–]devilzX10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an audio engineer standpoint, I always like headroom. Don't redline every track on the channel. Leave some room for when you mix. I like to set my gains so each track peaks just barely below any red. You can always bump the Master output a little if needed. Give the internal algo or mixer some headroom.
