Rekordbox for Mac is a software used to enhance the efficiency in managing audio files that can be played on the Pioneer DJ Player (e.g. CDJ 900 or CDJ-2000). It was developed by Pioneer Corporation and can be used in classification and searching of music files stored on hard drives. It uses the files to create a customized playlist meant for DJ performances.
Rekordbox has the capabilities of detecting, measuring and adjusting beats, tempos (beats per minute) and the rest of the elements of music before the actual music performance. The program has additional features of setting and storing point information for cueing, hot cueing, looping, etc. prior the actual performance. The data detected, measured and adjusted as well as the points that have gone through setting and storage using the program, can be used with the combination of Pioneer DJ Player in order to achieve an outstanding performance.
Rekordbox is battling it out among the three of the greatest performance software in the game (Serato, Virtual DJ and Traktor) and although it is the newest of them all, it has advanced features and friendly customized properties to satisfy heavy music performance DJs. Pioneer Corporation, the manufacturer of DJ systems and turntables, is in a perfect position to understand the needs of performance DJs; hence filling the gap by coming up with a genius music program and making rekordbox a better software compared to the rest of its rivals.
Rekordbox has attractive appearance and setup when opened and while in use. Working with theis software also means when tracks are under export to a USB key or an SD card (CDJ-2000 or CDJ-2000NXS only), waveforms are instantly located. Some of the additional features include:
The system requirement for the software installation is OS X 10.6.
