Rekord Buddy

Rekord Buddy

So, this has been mentioned in a different thread but I believe that it needs a thread of it’s own as I think it’s a genius idea. Rekord Buddy is a software designed to sync all of your Traktor data into Rekordbox so that all of your cue points, loops, basically anything that can be saved in an ID3 gets transferred into Rekordbox so when you’re spinning out at a club all you need to bring is a Flash drive or an SD card that’s already synced w/Rekordbox! I’m getting a ton of new gear in a couple of days including a new Macbook Pro, a DJM-900, (still waiting on Pio to announce their update to the CDJ-2000’s) and I’d like to know if anyone has used this software and/or wants to check it out! If you’ve used it, tell us what you think because I would really like to integrate this as part of my set up once I get me some new CDJ’s and my MBP!

These are the links to check out Rekord Buddy:

Thanks for the post Luke and welcome to anyone who is new to Rekord Buddy.

Please keep in mind that the software is still currently in beta, feel free to report any issues you find directly to me or in this thread.

Version 1.0 should be available for free this fall on the Mac App Store.

Thank you so much Damien. I have been wanting this for a long time! I prefer to set my hotcues and grids in traktor and primarily DJ with it but when I am playing on 2000s, I use rekordbox. It’s always a pain in the ass to have to spend time in rekordbox to do what I have already done in traktor. Let me know if I can help with testing / development or anything!

Post v1.0 there will be a closed beta for future releases. Look at one of my recent posts on my FB/Twitter.

This is an amazing idea. I do not have time to do exactly what I prepared in Traktor in Rekordbox over again especially because I am tagging a whole new libabry and my gig went tits up on Friday because of this. Hope this works okay.

It’s in public Beta right now, but the first 1.0 release is not far off in the future.

Don’t hesitate to let me know if you encounter any problems.

this would be so cool.

damien this is amazing.

any chance of a windows version?:smiley:

Very nice work. I also switch between TC with TPro and CDJs and therefore this is perfect for me.
I heavily worked on the adv. HID integration in Traktor which is very good but mostly still prefer going either TC or CDJ-only.

I’ll run it through its paces and let you know what I think and probably even prepare a post about it after my vacation.

I’ll be honest with you, there are no plans in the foreseeable future.

Main reason is that this is obviously not a ‘for profit’ project at this time and I only have Macs at home :slight_smile:

This is fucking awesome!

right on man.

too bad its not for profit because there are profits to be made.

for example, i would definitely pay $100 right now if I could automatically convert my entire traktor library to rekordbox.

Version 1.0 is out on the App Store.

Please use the Next Audio Labs forums for any questions regarding this as the DJTT forums will not be monitored by our support team.

Does it sync Rekordbox to Traktor yet?

Great work, Damien. I’m giving this a deeper look soon.

One suggestion: Why don’t you preallocate the nml-location? You can find it at Users > user name > Library > Preferences > com.native-instruments.Traktor Pro version.plist.

Version 1.0 is Traktor->Rekordbox only. The other way is in the works for 1.5.

Mainly because once we support Rekordbox->Traktor it will be a bad idea to modify your main Traktor collection file directly. The recommended way is to export the collection from Traktor and use that file instead :slight_smile:

As mentioned above, please try and move discussion about the program to the Next Audio Labs forums as it will be easier for us to keep track of. Thx!

Not finding it in the app store?

The link is on my facebook page and on Next Audio Labs’ website

Brings me back to the apple site, which doesn’t find it?
Am I retarded?

Are you on a Mac or a PC?
