  • We’re glad to see our S2 MK3 working with djay! Thanks to our friends from algoriddim in Munich. TRAKTOR PRO 3.4 is out now, and we've added Smartlists! Choose your filters, give it a name, and off you go. 21,121 Followers Software. 293,042 Followers DJ.
  • A DJ friend of mind recommended Traktor to me, but I thought I could save a few bucks since the cheapest S2 MK3 was almost a 100$ more than the DDJ-400. So after I received it, I plugged it in, installed rekordbox, tried to play a song and the controller was unresponsive.
  • Hercules DJ Control Starlight. The cheapest one on this list and in my opinion one of the most fun.
Traktor S2 Mk3 Rekordbox

  • Hi Guys,

    I play both bars and clubs, and in general I’ve used CDJ1000s for the club or if playing house in a bar, and I use Traktor with a Kontrol S2 the rest of the time (and for making mix tapes at home). Have started using CDJ2000s more often now and would like to use just USB sticks with them. So I’m wondering if installing Rekordbox will affect how all my music files are handled with Traktor. e.g will it mess up the track grids/tags and other data?

    Maybe I would have to copy some tracks to the USB (I wouldn’t need ALL my music on Rekordbox) and just manage that with Rekordbox?

    Collector for mac. Cheers in advance!

    Adam.

    You have just hit the proverbial nail on the head. I have stated a few times that I consider this to become the biggest problem with digital DJ-in the upcoming decade, unless something is done to correct it (and you never know what is happening behind the scenes already, right?).

    I believe that all your information (at least the common stuff that has no bearing on program specific features) should travel with the track, not stay behind in a (proprietary) database. So if you set cue points, loops, beat markers and such for a track on whatever platform you use (Traktor, Serato, VDJ, RekordBox, Engine, any of the iPad apps) it should be stored with the track and be available when you load the track in any of the other programs.

    Doesn’t work that way (yet?!).

    How it does work though:

    • You do your thing in Traktor
    • I actually think you can then load your tracks into RekordBox as well (since they both don’t move tracks someplace different (like iTunes always wants to do) and run RekordBox. So no need to copy actual music files to another place for use in RekordBox.
    • You can set playlists in RekordBox and just export whatever tracks/playlists and even CDJ setting to USB sticks.

    You will however NOT be able to use the cues, loops and such you set in Traktor in RekordBox or the other way around.
    So, keeping things in sync could be a bit tricky and at least a lot of manual labor.
    Major point for you again: I think you can let both Traktor and RekordBox use the same folder for their music files. They will just both make databases of the added info elsewhere. If I am wrong about that I hope another reader can correct me here.
    It may be wise to set the analysis features of RekordBox so that stuff that you already did in Traktor (BPM and Key info for example) are not re-analyzed in RekordBox. You’d want RB to use just the info that is already in the tags right.
    Greetinx,
    C.

    If you are useing a Mac there is a program called Rekord Buddy that lets you sync your Traktor and Rekordbox liberary. So as I asume you have all your songs already beatgrided set hotcues in Traktor with Rekord Buddy you can sync them to Rekordbox and get all the cue points and info synched in one go. I’ve used it for some time now and it’s realy a good program for this.

    sorry to deter an old thread, Im a traktor user (S4mk2), and starting to want to set loop points and hot cues, and also using rekordbox for CDJ gigs. I first put all my tracks in itunes and organize it in playlists there. Im trying to get the best workflow from there on (only to have the same playlists on my ipod for backup when computer crashes).
    I have been very unhappy in the amount of work that i need to get my tracks from my itunes library (on an external HD) into my traktor collection on a USB stick. i might be doing it wrong though.
    the process from itunes to rekordbox seems way easier.
    my question before i start the hard work on all my tracks: is it better/ faster to do traktor to rekordbox or rekordbox to traktor for setting up cues/ loops (via rekord buddy- gosh 4 bloody softwares to go thru…)
    im sure im not the only one in this situation. what worked best for youz?

    Seriously, this is my main reason for not wanting more than one kind of software. It is easy enough to use iTunes in both platforms, but as soon as cue points and loops and such are involved, it becomes a whole new ball game with only an external tool like RekordBuddy helping out.
