Serato spearheaded the birth of digital vinyl systems back in the early ‘00s and has remained one of the major players in digital DJing ever since.

Subscription and expansion model can be confusing

Read the full Pioneer DJ rekordbox DJ review (version 1) Full cloud capabilities will set you back around $20/£20 per month though. The basic features, track prep and export tools are available for free, and many mixing features can be unlocked by using a Pioneer DJ controller. The feature set of rekordbox is accessible in a variety of different tiers, some of which require a monthly or yearly subscription. The major selling point here is the way that both mixing skills and your library of tracks can be easily transferred from a small home setup – focused around something like the DDJ-400 – to a pro-level CDJ rig in a club, or top-end controller.

The slick Edit Mode is an impressive feature too, bringing basic DAW-like features that let users make rough, quick edits of tracks.Īlthough the DVS control is as good a quality as you’ll find with any rival, rekordbox’s primary appeal is with club DJs. This allows the rekordbox library to rapidly access BPM, key and phrasing information from a huge central database of all tracks analysed by the user base. Its strongest side is still the track organisation tools though, which have recently been updated to add not only cloud library sharing but cloud-based analysis. It’s all well implemented though, and the feature set is growing with each new update, incorporating things like a sequencer, visual mixing, lighting control and lyric playback alongside obligatory tools such as effects, samplers and DVS control. In terms of mixing functionality, much of rekordbox’s toolset is similar to that found in Serato or Traktor. It was only in 2015 that Pioneer expanded the app to become a fully fledged piece of DJ mixing software, but it has quickly become one of the most significant products in the sector. Pioneer DJ’s rekordbox has been around since the late-‘00s, but for much of that time it existed solely as a tool for organising and preparing digital music ready for use with the company’s CDJs.

Cloud features require a pricey subscription
