i love traktor, just bought new CDJ’s.. do i really need to switch to rekordbox?
So here it is, I just bought a new setup, 2x CDJ-2000nexus + 1x DJM-900nexus.. I’ve been using Traktor 2 Pro for several years now, and really like how close of a zoom you can get to the waveform when setting beatgrids.. I tried installing the “rekordbox” software, and was really disappointed that I could hardly see if I was being “exact” enough when moving around the beatgrids..
In using Traktor, I am basically a pro at quickly and efficiently setting beatgrids.. Is there any good reason why I should switch to rekordbox (like will I lose any important functionality of my new setup?) or will Traktor do everything that rekordbox can do plus more?
And also, do Traktor beatgrids transfer perfectly on a USB drive when I plug it into my CDJ’s? Thanks for the help!
You just made a thread on this 30 mins ago. Short term memory problems?
The detailed Nexus waveforms are entirely dependant on Rekordbox, and if you ever want to use the CDJs without a computer you’ll need to analyze+export your music through RB too.
Traktor grids do not transfer in any way to CDJs. You can use the CDJs as HID controllers like I said in your other thread, but you won’t get the detailed waveforms on the player screen like you do with Rekordbox.
+1 for rekord buddy here. With a couple of clicks your whole traktor collection, with all tags, beat grids, playlists, cues etc gets ported over to rekordbox. It’s only £3/$5 too.
I’d also like to ask why you bought this setup when you had so little background knowlage of how it works. It’s kind of like buying a ferrarie without a driverlicense.
