It’s very complete, and looks to do everything you might need to with your library. The first half of the video is all about rekordbox as a library manager. I imagine that the hardware will enable all the necessary software features, making rekordbox a standalone library manager or a fully fledged DJ app. I can’t tell if that’s the final name or not, but I see no reason to add DJ at the end to split the product into a separate category. It’s also clear that Serato DNA is stronger which is understandable. So let’s go.įirst impression - Serato DJ and Traktor have a child and its name is rekordbox.
For the record, we haven’t been told anything so we’re free to say whatever we like, as are you to post speculation in the comments. I love this bit - frame by frame dissection of a teaser to pull out any clues that may give us clear and not-so-clear pointers to what is coming. And now that Mixvibes is no longer in the rekordbox equation, it’s just a matter of time and resource as to where rekordbox will go.
When you think about it, The PLX-1000 turntable is little more than a product gap filler and hardly expected to make Pioneer DJ pots of cash in an already full market.īut Pioneer still needs to talk to the software industry - more so Serato though, as they partner to put out hardware. So for me, it was a no-brainer that rekordbox would become much more than it already is. It was along the lines of “if a DJ needs it, we want to be able to fulfil that need”. My thinking has been driven by a seemingly throwaway comment tossed in my general direction at a trade show. Back then I posed the question to the team, and while at first the response was one of thinking I was a bit mental, over the last year or so, we’ve all come round to the same way of thinking. When the very first performance features appeared in recordbox, it was obvious to me where this was going, and I’ve stated it many times over. But when Pioneer DJ pushes out a teaser video that appears to show rekordbox changing from library manager to full DJ software, I’m forced to tear said video apart and see what can be gleaned from it.īut first, I’d like to start with… TOLD YOU SO
