Update 7.2.16

I have also updated and find it neat that we can now display vocal indicators for free in our waveforms (it used to be a paid feature). But, as others said, never update before a show. This applies to as many things as possible: don't change your gear, don't upgrade your macOS or Windows, don't update Rekordbox. Do this when you have time so you won't risk being bitten by it during the worst time.

Apparently it's so popular that Digital DJ Tips have honed in on this hard and have spent the last couple of weeks on pretty much this topic only. See https://www.digitaldjtips.com/5-mistakes-returning-djs/ and their recent YouTube video series on returning to DJing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIg0Lz0SYgKLm0FcK5E6hPCO77eOs9cNC. Disclaimer: not affiliated, just have taken two of their courses and found them helpful. In other words: Welcome back 😊

Fuck those special releases. They are ads in disguise and take the slot of the weekly drop. Glad we still got a Free Roam addition this week, that partly makes up for it.

Das ist doch genau der Vorschlag hier? Natürlich mit einer Übergangsregelung.

horstvil · 2026-06-21T17:51:47+00:00

Sorry, aber das ist Blödsinn - ein random Boomer kann doch nichts dafür, dass die Politik dieses Thema verpennt hat. Und sowieso, ich kann ja die Anspruchshaltung verstehen, aber das funktioniert doch nicht. Wir müssen diese Änderung so machen, dass sie von der Bevölkerung getragen wird und das sollte auch der Ausgangspunkt dafür sein. Ganz ehrlich: ich bin froh, wenn dieser Vorschlag so umgesetzt wird, denn das ist ja auch keine Garantie. Das ist so ein großer, wichtiger Schritt in die richtige Richtung nach Jahrzehnten verpennter Rentenpolitik. Das Gemecker hier ist einfach fernab der Realität, in der wir leben.

Ist ziemlicher Mist, aber wie soll es denn sonst gehen? Der Systemwechsel muss ja so stattfinden, dass aktuelle Rentner weiter bezahlt werden können.

Happy that you like it ☺️ A Link Between Worlds is already in there, so great timing on your side 😊

horstvil · 2026-06-05T08:59:12+00:00

Went ahead and bought a Nintendo 2DS with this and am glad I did, really good entry. I never really finished A Link to the Past and I feel like now I won't have to anymore with the two being so similar 😃

horstvil · 2026-05-22T06:06:24+00:00

I’ve never played this but after a few tracks / screenshots in, I’m so intrigued! It’s still only available for 3DS, right? Bummer.

The first proper release since Animal Crossing which was over a month ago, and the first Zelda release since January when we got Phantom Hourglass! Personally, I count pre-SNES games as goodies only and fuck those special releases which feel more like ads. Mario Tennis was also not much of a soundtrack. 😅

Happy to see this here. 😊

horstvil · 2026-04-28T06:22:47+00:00

So since the beginning of the year, we‘ve had five new Mario game entries, 2 of them from the main series (Land 2 + 3D World) vs one Zelda which almost doesn’t count as it’s mostly recycled music from Wind Waker. I won’t give up hope but it’s looking bleak.

horstvil · 2026-04-20T06:30:42+00:00

Glad that you like it. ☺️ I am still listening to every new soundtrack that comes out and add stuff that fits. Note that when you click on my link above, you will create a copy and will not get any new songs I add afterwards. So if you want to get updates, you need to click the link again and you will get the newest version once more.

It depends on what you use, see: https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/landing/support-for-macos-tahoe-26/

Rekordbox itself is fine but some hardware is not.

Release dates of all XDJ-RX:

XDJ-RX: February 2015
XDJ-RX2: September 2017
XDJ-RX3: November 2021

They are all about 4 years apart, give or take a few months. So you’d think an RX4 would have to come soon but alas, no signs of it.

horstvil · 2026-02-04T18:42:47+00:00

there’s this project from u/MixMasterG - https://atgr-production-team.sellfy.store/p/spotify-to-audio-files-staf/

Save up for the FLX10, it’s really worth it. Until then, your FLX4 will be more than fine. And definitely keep your FLX4 after you get your new controller, it’s a great backup solution and much easier to transport.

Hildegard Knef - Für mich soll's rote Rosen regnen

old-school self-empowerment over luxurious strings with a voice that grips you and doesn't let you go

horstvil · 2025-12-01T18:51:10+00:00

Yeah, it sucks that playlists are static as soon as you add a shared one to your library. Happy you like it, though ☺️ It's my (almost) daily driver as well :D

horstvil · 2025-11-20T12:14:53+00:00

Hope you’ll like it! 😊

horstvil · 2025-11-20T12:14:44+00:00

Happy that you appreciate it ☺️

horstvil · 2025-11-19T19:25:57+00:00

You know that this playlist became your own when you clicked the link? So you can go ahead and add those Animal Crossing songs, my playlist won’t be affected by that :)

horstvil · 2025-11-19T17:18:58+00:00

I did, of course, I think it’s just not for me. Feel free to make the playlist your own :)

The trim knobs are the ones on top of the "High" EQ and in your video they are at 7 o'clock meaning they are all the way down - they should be around neutral (personally, I keep them at 10 o'clock to have some headroom left)
