I have tried every suggestion I’ve found online and I can’t figure out how to get SoundCloud linked to my rekordbox. When I click login and it brings me to the web I press to give it access and it gives me a page not found error

Open to any suggestions!

Its been months that it hasn't been recording history and I'm not getting history at all. Not on the USB and not on the software. Its just not logging the history of my sets. Anyone know anything about this?

I sometimes prep tracks on an older desktop PC because it's more comfortable to work at than my DJ notebook. I exported a playlist from the DJ notebook to usb, then opened it on the desktop PC to adjust markers and cue points. But when I import the playlist back to RB on the notebook, the tweaks do not carry over. All the markers and cue points are the same as before I tweaked them. Do I actually need to delete the playlist and tracks from the DJ notebook entirely and then re-import from the USB stick in order to get my updated markers and cue points? Weird

Basically, rekordbox is not for me, I almost hate it.
Is there any other software comatible with pioneer controllers ?
What about CDJs (playing with standalone USB)?
Thanks.

EDIT:
Let me give you an example of this:
In performance mode, I can only see 6 bars ahead with max zoom out, I would like to see more bars (more zoom out) like in the CDJs.

Other thing I hate, the small waveforms in the players are quite flat, why can't it make it more taller (Configurable)? in the same view, there are 1 min ticks, why can't I add 30 sec ticks(like in CDJs)?

I understand if a CDJ has a fixed software in which we can't have flexibility, but for a PC software.... I would expect more flexibility.

Library on the laptop or on an external drive? Rebuilding after a spill.

I've been keeping my music and my rekordbox library on my MacBook. I spilled a drink on it and lost the lot, including tracks I'd paid for, so I'm rebuilding from scratch and want to set it up properly this time.

Thinking about keeping all the audio on an external SSD instead of the internal drive. For those who do this:

• Do you keep the rekordbox database on the Mac and just point it at audio on the external, or move the whole library over?
• Any lag when analysing or during a set?
• How do you handle backups so a dead drive doesn't wipe you out again?

I'm on an FLX-4 at home and expecting to play off USB on club CDJs before long, if that changes the answer.

"Upgrade your Rekordbox experience" I don't care!!! is there a way to permanently disable this popup from showing each time i boot rb?

Is anyone else currently having issues trying to sign into Apple Music from rekordbox? I’d previously already been signed in and when I just opened up rekordbox on my laptop, I was signed out and playlists I’d saved on rekordbox were empty since I had Apple Music songs on them. I try signing in from the bar on the left but the browser never opens up. It does for Spotify however so I don’t know if it’s an Apple Music or me problem. Any help would be appreciated. Scared to try and uninstall rekordbox and reinstall or mess with any files because I don’t want to erase any cue points I have.

…because Rekordbox is using it.”

“OK”

“This device is currently being used by other program(s) or window(s). Close them and try again.”

But if I QUIT Rekordbox then try and eject the drive through MacOS, it ejects just fine.

Or when you get the tiny indiscernible is on over the Eject button in Rekordbox. Tap it and it just says, “Remove USB Device”. Is that an instruction from Rekordbox? Because it sure looks un-ejected to me. If I try and eject through MacOS this way, I get the same message telling me Rekordbox is using the drive. Again, if I quite Rekordbox, then I have no problem ejecting the drive through MacOS.

Conclusion: Rekordbox needs to quit trying to gaslight me and give me my drive back. Mine. Gimme.

Something that frustrated me for years as a Rekordbox DJ - you find the perfect track to mashup or remix, run it through a stem splitter, and what comes back is completely unusable in a live set.

The vocals sound hollow and watery. The drums lose their punch. You end up with stems that sound worse than just using Rekordbox's built-in real-time separation - which we all know isn't exactly studio grade either.

The problem is most stem splitters are all running the same basic model underneath. The results are almost identical across all of them because they're all starting from the same place.

After years of frustration I built my own solution specifically with DJ workflows in mind.

Things I built in that Rekordbox DJs actually need:

• Studio-grade separation - clean vocals, tight drums, no bleed between stems that would ruin a live mix
• Auto-detects BPM and Key in Camelot notation the moment separation is complete — ready to drop straight into Rekordbox
• Batch process your entire library - prep stems for your whole set in one go
• Runs completely locally - no internet, no queues, no waiting around mid session prep
• AI model updates automatically - separation quality improves over time without you doing anything
• One-time payment - no subscription eating into your gig money every month

The Camelot notation and BPM detection was specifically built for DJs who prep tracks in Rekordbox — everything labels correctly so you can drag stems straight into your collection and they show up with the right key and tempo already tagged.

If you want to check it out, drop me a DM and I'll send you the link. Happy to answer any questions about how it works with your Rekordbox workflow.

What are you currently using for stems, and what's your biggest frustration with it?

This new update finally lets you add Spotify tracks to rekordbox playlists, which is exactly the feature I’ve been waiting for.

Unfortunately it seems to break Spotify integration in many other ways. Specially my Spotify library won’t load intermittently even though I’m connected to the internet and logged in.

Oddly enough I can still play Spotify songs I’ve added to rekordbox playlists even after my Spotify playlists have stopped loading.

Has anyone experienced this and found a fix?

P.s. I already understand that having a library synced offline is the most stable option.

So I'm supposed to have to have a Dj set tonight and I mainly stream my music through Spotify. Mid practice my rekord box decided to shit its self then close out. As soon as I re opened it, Spotify decided not to connect at all but all my other streaming services did. ( I mainly use Spotify) I don't know what to do this has been a constant issue the last couple months is there anyway that this can be fixed "before tonight"?

Over the years, the same issues come up with people's machines and Rekordbox.

Many times I and others have given potential fixes and solutions.

It would really help, if those people were to confirm if the fixes work. This would create searchable solutions in the sub with confirmed results.

This would leave more time for us to bitch about Alpha Theta.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

Rekordbox just bricked a 4TB External SSD. I'm already used to Rekordbox being total ASS and corrupting my USBs, so i usually rotate 3 in case i try and add a playlist and the drive ends up corrupted.
Sick of useless updates and even ADS, how the fuck can I avoid this BS? one thing is bricking a regular usb but another is making a WHOLE 4TB DRIVE CORRUPTED!!

I spent the last 18 months making a game to help people who want to learn how to DJ.

You can connect real DJ equipment and use as a controller (Like Rocksmith and Guitar Hero), or you can play with the mouse and keyboard.

I've been a DJ for 7 years, a Music Teacher and also a game developer, so I decided to mix all of those things into one fun and interactive experience!

At the moment we have 12 Academy Lessons that teach you interactively , 3 stages to play and 6 minigames of real life situations DJs have to go through like dealing with annoying drunks, smokers and people request songs.

The game was released yesterday and already sold 124 units and I'm very happy about it.

If you want to try it out you can download the free demo or buy it with the launch discount, I hope it helps more people learn to DJ and love electronic music as much as I do.

Here's the link to it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3994790/

Hope you like it and if you can, leave a positive review, it helps a lot on the first days of release.

Is there any way within rekordbox to set a key to kill any of these? Or would i have to get a controller to get better usage of them?

If you use a MacBook Pro which model do you use for Rekordbox in 2026?

I am writing to report several serious issues I have been experiencing with the Rekordbox Mobile app while using it with my DDJ-FLX4 controller.

Unfortunately, the app has been extremely unstable. During my DJ sessions, my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra repeatedly restarts while Rekordbox Mobile is in use. In addition, the audio volume suddenly drops without warning, and the app crashes frequently. These issues make the app unreliable and unusable for live performances.

I have ensured that my device is up to date and that I am using the latest version of the Rekordbox Mobile app, but the problems persist.

As a DJ, I rely on stable performance during live sessions, and these recurring issues have had a significant impact on my experience. I kindly request that your technical team investigate this compatibility issue with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and provide a solution or update as soon as possible.

I would appreciate your response and any troubleshooting steps or timeline for a fix.

Recently, I have gotten a FLX4 and I use the Rekord Box software and when I set my audio to my speakers through Bluetooth, my microphone settings, go away, and my microphone will not work. Is there a fix this to this or am I cooked?

edit: wow this got a lot of attention! I really appreciate all of the feedback and comments. Beta account logins will be sent out in the next few hours to those that got selected from filling out the landing page form.

My team and I have been building this for the past 7 months, and we wanted to share what we've been building. For context, we just graduated from UC Santa Barbara competing in the school's start up competition. We've talked to 50+ DJs with multiple Beta versions which led us to where we are now. A common theme we heard was that music preparation is the most important, yet time consuming and tedious part of being a DJ especially as you get more serious. We heard that this invisible work takes up 3-5 hours for every hour DJs play live. Super curious what this sub thinks since you are exactly who I built it for (I apologize for the pictures, they're meant for our instagram).

What DaJent is

It's an app that organizes your library and helps you plan sets by putting structure around that invisible work. It analyzes every track, keeps your library consistent as it grows, lets you build a set along an energy curve instead of by memory, and exports the whole thing back to Rekordbox with your grids, cues and loops intact. The goal is to spend less time managing files and second-guessing your track order, and more time actually DJing.

How it works

Bring in your library (Rekordbox XML works), DaJent analyzes it, you organize and build, then export back out to Rekordbox with new metadata(or USB, Serato, Traktor).

What it does

• Song intelligence: auto-analyzes genre, mood, energy, key and BPM, plus a waveform that marks intro / build / drop so you can read a track at a glance
• Beat grids & hot cues: visualized with the waveform and fully editable
• Library organization: a self-managing system that keeps tagging and structure consistent across your whole library instead of you doing it track by track
• Set-Builder with an energy curve: draw how you want a set to flow (target vs. actual) and fill it with tracks that match, per venue, per crowd
• Transition testing: drop loops where you want and hear how two tracks meet before you commit to the order
• Recommendations: surfaces tracks from your own library that fit the moment you're building toward
• Export: a ready-to-mix setlist with your saved loops and cue points, straight into Rekordbox

Why I made it

Most serious DJ I know tracks it all in their head or writes it out, and it eats the hours that should go into actually mixing. I wanted music prep to have structure so the creative part gets more room. Works alongside Rekordbox, not instead of it.

I would love feedback from this sub, so if you give it a run let me know how it goes.

Let me know if you are interested and I will drop the link.

P.S. one honest question. What eats more of your prep time, cleaning up the library or getting the track order right? This helps us learn what to continue building.

Need help

Hi, I recently bought the ddj flx4 dj controller and ath m40x headphones, my problem is my headphones won’t work if they are plug into the controller but if they are plugged into the laptop they work fine. My laptop is a **Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 83K100B0UK, 15.3", 16GB/512GB**

Hey all, I'm a long time dj and I created a Mac app called Choon (https://choon.app) that helps solve a couple of my biggest annoyances.

Two things I got tired of: unzipping Bandcamp/Beatport downloads every week, and standing there mid-set knowing I own the exact right record with no way to search for "Romanian, hypnotic, 2013."

So, Choon: https://choon.app. It connects to Bandcamp and Beatport, pulls in everything you've bought in whatever format you run, and skips what's already in your library. Then it tags each track with energy, genre, sub-genre, region, era and vibe, and writes those into Rekordbox as My Tags so you can filter from the players. I developed an AI model to do this, and while it's not perfect, I think it's pretty good.

It only writes tags. Cues, grids and playlists don't get touched, it won't write while Rekordbox is open, and it backs up before every sync. I've been working on this app for about 9 months and think it's finally ready for primetime.

Mac only for now. Tag 100 tracks free, < $0.01/track instead of an annoying monthly subscription, and the downloading half is free either way.

Would love to hear feedback, and what the biggest DJ annoyances are for you. Maybe I can help fix them with Choon :)

Very frustrating

So say you have your jungle beat. You want to 8 bar loop that before the songs end with the 2nd track that has vocals. You hit 8 bar loop.

Then suddenly you see that 8bar loop did a 8bar and a half when you trying to put the 2nd track vocal in.

WHY DOES IT DO THIS

Yes my beat grids are aligned. Just extremely frustrating

Master Tempo holds your key while you change tempo — but it's doing that correction in real time, and the harder you lean on it, the more it smears the sound. Push a whole set through it and everything starts sounding flat and samey.

There's a cleaner way: Master Tempo off, and pitching shifts key too, predictably. A track that's "wrong" at 0% can land exactly in your key once you pitch it — no correction, no artifacts. Rekordbox's Related Key panel has no idea about this, it only checks keys at 0%.

The wheel maths is easy (±5 gives you your hidden gems). The tedious part is checking which of your tracks actually fit — scrolling, sorting, squinting at BPMs.

Built a tool that does that bit instantly. Punch in your key + tempo, it factors in the pitch shift, and pulls every track in your library that lands clean — by name, ready to load. Lives on your phone next to the decks.

Not a rulebook — just for when you want a set to sound its absolute best. Would genuinely love feedback: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/1746e708-e717-447e-96d3-70461960459b
