Can I use RekordBox like this? (MacBook Pro, Toshiba netbook and two CDJ-2000’s)
Dear all.
I want to use Pioneer’s software RekordBox on CDJ-2000’s, and I have some questions about this. Hope someone can help. ![]()
I have both a small Toshiba netbook (NB 205) and a MacBook Pro. I would like to do the following:
- keep all of the music on the MacBook
- manage the music library with iTunes on my Mac and create playlists for DJ’ing there
- use bridge in RekordBox (on the Mac) to access the iTunes playlists and add them to the RB database, then set beatgrids/cue+loop points for the tracks
- then export the RekordBox database to an external FAT32 USB disk
- connect that disk to the Toshiba and import and/or sync the database in RekordBox on Windows XP there
- bring the Toshiba and external HD to the gigs (for easier browsing of tracks, BPM’s and keys)
- use an Ethernet cable to connect one of the CDJ-2000’s to the Toshiba netbook, so the CDJ can access the RekordBox collection, including grids/waves/cue+loop points
- then use a USB-cable from CDJ to CDJ to link them and have both access to the MP3’s on the Toshiba/RekordBox
Is this possible? And if not, do I have to skip step 5 and just connect the external USB disk directly to one of the CDJ’s?
I will appreciate any answer, since I don’t have any experience with RekordBox (yet), and I would love to do what I outlined above. Thanks!
