I've been DJing for 3 years and this might be the most useful video I've come across

Knowing which deck is the Master deck is really handy when you want to do very smooth but also very big tempo changes. You can sync BPMs of two decks, set the pitch range for the new track so you can comfortably bring it to 0% or where you wanna be, then set it as Master, enable Sync on the previous song, play the new song and pitch up/down as you need. The track you're transitioning from will lock its grid and BPM to the new track, that way you can make breakdowns or buildups as if you're doing it in Ableton.

You are definitely the best, most informative, helpful YouTuber when it comes to djing. I really really appreciate your content

[strahilkiskinov]

The tip about intelligent playlist is really helpful and unique one in comparison with other softwares. It gives you the chance to save so much time from music management. All you need is to tag your music with all the info..

[hamzage]

5 minutes in and this video has already taught me 4 awesome things!

[petewarren]

Great and very informative video :-) really like the master traffic light feature for finding tracks in similar key (I usually sorted by key) the situation tagging feature is really useful. Big room, terrace, bangers etc. 20 mins well spent thanks again :-) yiu could even create sections with 1 min intro, 2 min outro etc.... ooooh the possibilities 🤣🤣

This was really helpful, thank you! I picked up my first controller yesterday so this has been a big help in opening my eyes as to just how powerful the library function in Rekordbox is.

[johnnyrubio]

All those tips helped me out so much especially at the end when you said don’t just organize your tracks also DJ and balance it 😎

[akinkunmicook]

Wow! I had no idea how powerful rekordbox software is! I’m in! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

Another thing is, don't try to make your library perfect, you can make an infinite amount of folders and playlists.
For genres that I don't know, I just put them in a vibe folder, or I have broad genre folders like "Okay it's not Ghouse but its gritty it goes in gritty like some other gritty bass house I might have etc.."
Also it's all a matter of finding it yourself, I know I have some tracks that are defo not in a "future" folder, but I know if I look for that track il defo somehow relate it to "future". Just take it easy and experiment.

Heya! I went through my tracks, tagged em and rated them and boy o boy that made a huge difference. Then I made folders.. key1 key2 key3 etc and collated them. Its amazing! Thankyou

[sweetj]

This is the video I didn't know I needed!! Thank you!!

[jjwalker]

The “Song Key” tip is amazing and super helpful as I continue to learn and understand the actual musical fundamentals of music.

After coming from virtual DJ which had its own version of the traffic light I was looking for this option in Rekordbox cheers my man you saved me hours.
