Am i the only one that think rekordbox is a bit backwards in the way it works?
I am trying to use it with CDJNXS2 decks and really wanted to use the sampler within Rekordbox, so I mapped the midi controller within my DJM2000NX to work with it. so far so good, but then I realised you cant see the full waveform on the CDJs using HID.
Connecting the decks and mixer with LAN is a brilliant way to work, however (and this is what i think the backward bit is) connecting it this way mean you have to use the “Export” mode in Rekordbox and not the “Performance” mode, which is basic and has no extra features like sampler etc to use.
I think rekordbox should work in both modes through LAN, and have all features up and running in both modes, after all if you want to use HID why use Rekordbox, surely Traktor would be a far better option?
I think I might make my way back to Traktor then, I really thought Rekorbox was going to open doors for me and let me be more creative, in fact its far too restricting and frustrating!
I checked several tutorials on youtube.
I think there is a difference of using the computer only as a “harddrive” or in full performance mode. In performance mode the HID displays show even less than HID mode with traktor. Big letdown if you ask me.
Fully agreed, Wish I could have my money back from Rekordbox. Going back to Traktor seems the only logical option and I wasnt happy with Traktor since the stems direction to start with!
Ah. You wanted the big moving waveform? You only get teh full track preview waveform. Cant say I ever had a use for the alrge moving waveform. My bad. Maybe in a coming update.
Yes, talking about the large moving waveform. More of a “nice to have” than a necessity, but still should be available as an option, as it can be useful at times.
Ok, reality check: big moving waveform is not available ih HID mode with any software (Traktor, Rekordbox DJ, Serato DJ, Mixvibes). So it is most likely a tehnical limitation (usb bandwith limit or something else).
