In Rekordbox's case Pioneer have restricted the jogwheel mapping to Pioneer hardware only. So, you pretty much need Pioneer hardware to use Rekordbox. And seeing as Pioneer decks are almost industry standard in clubs and you need Rekordbox to organise your playlists, they have the DJ hardware market sewn up. Which is very frustrating because Rekordbox has to be the most resource intensive (& therefore inefficient) DJ software available.
- Onawa 2y agoResource intensive, and it's been crashing on me far too regularly to be relied on at all.
- cechmaster 2y agoSo many issues with Rekordbox and their vendor lock-in. I can't even reliably export songs on a flash drive and have it showing up in their CDJ. It's honestly time to take the Pioneer giant down.
- butlike 2y agoI always thought the reason Rekordbox became the standard was to get around the 4GB limitation of FAT32-formatted USBs.
- hnlmorg 2y agoIt’s amazing just how badly Technics dropped the ball. At one point they were the industry standard but they shot themselves in the foot with their reluctance to release a CD turntable until after Pioneer had already got themselves into nearly every club. Though I can’t say I’m surprised. I never thought 1210s was a particularly good vinyl turntable either.
