Exactly what I was thinking. Especially the Rekordbox one. Hit that shit head on. But as Photojojo said earlier, if it is consistent then I suppose it would work just fine.
I have a love hate relationship with this feature. Yes it’s making it easier to find tracks that match in energy but again this just seems like another step towards microwave djing by doing something that most DJs should know in their own. Basically I just don’t want to see beginners relying on this and not learning their tracks, just cause the computer says a song is a 6 doesn’t mean it’s not a playable song. This makes me think when DJs will trust the auto BPM detection and think a hip hop song is 168 BPM, when really you should know That’s not right and traktor just doubled the BPM speed.
Tools like these should be used as a reference or guideline but not relied upon absolutely. I think the real benefit of tools like these is allowing DJs to quickly experiment with new music and sort through music faster. Lets face it the rate of music is only increasing and tools like these could help filter through all of it.
What I’d like to see is Traktor be able to recognize your play patterns. So that it know what songs you tend to put together, and suggest them in the future. Again with so much music out there and so many possibilities for mixing I think this would allow you to comfortably know that traktor is remembering all of your favourite mixes and transitions so that you can focus on finding new ones to add, and it would just keep remembering the ones you tend to put together.

boom! 
Anybody ran any Country through MIK5.5 yet? I need to know which Dolly Parton joint to drop at peak time, right after the Crazy Frog song ('cos, if Crazy Frog ain’t a 10 I don’t know what is. I don’t wanna live in a world where Crazy Frog ain’t a 10).
Guys - lets just agree RIGHT NOW. NO-ONE here at DJTT should use this feature. We need to stand up and be counted. This is a DOG SHIT feature that anyone with half a brain would ignore. Boycott this crap.
We could lead the way in keeping the integrity alive in DJ’ing. Right here. I’m making a stand. Who’s with me?
Im completely confused on how this is going to work??
E.g Somebody who listen’s to soulful (energetic in a way??) country is in no way possible going to find a high energy hardcore 170bpm song good are they? I guess they would just be taking a random stab at thinking something with a variable waveform is going to be energetic for a crowd.
Why let a computer choose what could sound good? Instead listen to your collection and sort then some way according to the genre and your personal rating is what I think is best…
I’m with Patch on this one and think its a bad turn. I won’t sit here and say its totally horrible until ive tried the thing though!!!
That’s what I’m doing. Plus I’ve got 80% of my collection already rated on a 1-10 scale so it will be easy for me to see how well this works for me.
I’ve found the colour and brightness of the spectrum waveform in Traktor can help when judging the energy level of a track. Duller, redder looking waveforms tend more towards deep bassy vibes, while the bright ones with lots of purple are often more trebley and frenetic. It will be interesting to see if these tendencies correlate with MIK’s results.
So now you can download all of your music illegally, get keys and energy levels from MIK, buy some new CDJs with your parents money that will sync tracks for you and give you stop or go lights for what track to play next, and you can play the biggest parties jesus posing like Guetta flawlessly (enough for all the drunk people) with no experience, right? Sick!!!
showed nothing higher than an 8 for me, so not sure if this is a good or bad ideal . but its just a tool and not going to tell the dance floor you should be dancing this song is a 10 lol
Initially I thought this was just a rubbish idea, but I was recently thinking of putting my music into folders, such as warm up material, mid-vide, and full on stonkers. Obviously tagging them in this way could be a way of doing this without putting them into folders.
Might try it and see if I get an 11 
Not sure why this would bother anyone. It’s a cool feature that they added to a useful program that you can completely ignore if you don’t find it useful…
That’s how I got where I am today. Well minus the illegal downlands, parents money and all the computer stuff.
Ya I am just a little tired of another aspect of DJing getting ‘automated’ every month it seems. C’est la vie..
I can’t really think of why to use it unless I couldn’t remember what the track was without a little listen, which is perfectly plausible when working with a large collection, and I was after a track with a certain level of energy. Certainly would save time.
Anyway, purely Dj’ing by numbers isn’t gonna work, but I could imagine some young noobs trying
