  • ”Communication with rekordboxAgent failed.” appears when I start rekordbox ver. 6.

    rekordbox ver. 6 communicates with the rekordboxAgent application running on the same computer.

    Sometimes the communication between these applications is not working properly due to anti-virus software or VPN software.

    Check to see if you can solve the problem by temporarily disabling your anti-virus or VPN software.

    If your anti-virus software has the function to exclude certain applications from being blocked by the firewall, add rekordbox and rekordboxAgent to Exceptions.

    If your VPN software has the function to bypass the VPN only for specific application communications, bypass the communication between rekordbox and rekordboxAgent.

    For details, contact the manufacturer of your anti-virus software or VPN software.

  • The rekordbox [LINK] button does not show up when I connect my computer to the CDJ/XDJ with a LAN cable.

    PRO DJ LINK works when rekordbox is in EXPORT mode. (It does not work in PERFORMANCE mode.)

    1. Depending on the security software used on your computer and its operating system settings, it may not be possible to establish a PRO DJ LINK connection. If this occurs, it will be necessary to check your settings for the following four programs to ensure that they are not blocked:
      • rekordbox program file
      • ProDJ Link System Manager
      • ProDJ Link NFS Server
      • edb_streamd

      check "Windows Firewall settings"

    2. PRO DJ LINK may fail to run properly if your computer is connected to multiple networks as the networks (wired LAN, wireless, etc.) may interfere with each other. If this is the case with your computer, you can resolve the issue by disabling networks not used by PRO DJ LINK or set the network precedence properly to favor the network used.
    3. PRO DJ LINK may fail to run properly if the Port used by rekordbox for PRO DJ LINK is being used by another application (NSF server, etc.). To resolve this issue, close the application or service being used and then try again.
    4. PRO DJ LINK may fail to run properly if Internet Sharing is enabled. If this is the case, disable Internet Sharing and then try again.
    5. When there is a router connected on the network used by PRO DJ LINK, the network may fail to be established properly depending on the order in which connected devices are powered on. Either first turn on the power to the router and then connect the device, or disconnect the router.

  • What is [Use FX1 and FX2 as FX SEND/RETURN] of [BEAT FX] in PERFORMANCE mode? ([Preferences] > [Controller] tab > [Effect] tab)

    This is shown only when an FX SEND/RETURN compatible DJ equipment*1 is connected and selected as the audio device.

    When you select this option, FX (e.g. ECHO or REVERB) tails can be heard even after pulling the channel fader of the mixer all the way down.
    Please note that FX1 and FX2 must be set to the same mixer channel in this case.
    This is because both of the FX1 and FX2 are routed to [FX SEND/FX RETURN] audio routing of the mixer.

    Therefore you can set the FX1 and FX2 to separate mixer channels.

  • If I change my plan, when will the change be applied?

    In any of the following cases, the change will be applied immediately:

    • If you're changing from the Core plan to the Creative or Professional plan
    • If you're changing from the Creative plan to the Professional plan
    • if you add the Cloud Option to the Core plan, or Creative plan

    What's the "next renewal date"?

    Suppose you started a plan on the 10th of the month. If you change the plan between the 1st and 9th (inclusive) of a month, the next renewal date is the 10th of the current month.

    If you change plans on the 10th or any following day until the end of the month, the renewal date is the 10th of the next month.

    For a yearly plan, it will be the same date one year after the start of the subscription (however, if the first contract date is February 29 of a leap year, it will be February 28 of the following year).

    For example, if you started a monthly plan on June 15 and you switch to a yearly payment option for the same plan on September 20, the next renewal date will be October 15.

    *Disclaimer: renewal dates may differ due to time zone differences, etc.

    One Synchronization method is going to MY PAGE and opening the [LIBRARY SYNC] or [CLOUD] tab, then going to [Synchronization method] to select [Synchronize selected music files only] or [Synchronize all music files].

    For rekordbox ver. 6.6.9 or later, only these two options can be slected

    1. [Synchronize selected music files only] or 2. [Synchronize all music files].

    If rekordbox is updated to version 6.6.9 or later and Cloud Library Sync is on, [Synchronize all music files] is selected by default.

    * For rekordbox ver. 6.6.8 or earlier, only the setting for synchronizing all the music files is supported.

    • Synchronize selected music files only

    This is the Synchronization method where the API is used to access Dropbox.

    The music files you wish to download can be selected out of the music files uploaded to Dropbox.

    With this Synchronization method, Dropbox is accessed via the API, so the Dropbox desktop application does not need to be installed.

    Using a laptop to save music files on an external storage device can save more storage space in local storage than using the Dropbox desktop application.

    • Synchronize all music files

    This is the Synchronization method using the Dropbox desktop application.

    All the music files uploaded to Dropbox are downloaded.

    Because uploaded music files are automatically downloaded and kept synchronized, this saves the effort of having to manually synchronize files.

    To use this Synchronization method, the Dropbox desktop application must be installed and the Dropbox account must also be logged into.

    Auto Upload can be turned on for the music files in the Collection or playlists to be automatically uploaded to Dropbox.

    * If subscribed to the Professional plan, [Collection Auto Upload] can be turned on for the automatic upload of the Collection.

    * If subscribed to the Creative plan, the playlist [Auto Upload] can be turned on for the automatic upload of the playlists.

       If all the files in the Collection are used in playlists, all the files in the Collection can be uploaded automatically.

    When managing tracks on an external storage device or using only the playlists needed on a laptop, [Synchronize selected music files only] is recommended.

    Select this setting to use storage space more efficiently.

    By downloading the tracks and playlists needed on the DJ player on rekordbox in advance, the DJ player can be played offline in a location without internet connection.

    If you wish to use the Dropbox desktop application when this setting is selected, please see the precautions here.

    Can the Dropbox desktop application be used when [Synchronize selected music files only] is selected?

    • Synchronize all music files

    To manage all the tracks saved in the storage on a PC/Mac used at home and a PC/Mac used in a studio, etc. and keep them synchronized, [Synchronize all music files] is recommended.

    Select this setting if there is enough storage space on each PC/Mac and you wish to maintain the same content on the computers as on Dropbox.

    This setting offers the function of linking the Dropbox desktop application and rekordbox.

    For details on the Dropbox desktop application, see the information below.

    https://www.dropbox.com/install

    * A different Synchronization method can be selected for each PC/Mac computer.

    E.G.) A desktop computer used in the studio can be set to [Synchronize all music files] while a laptop used for tours is set to [Synchronize selected music files only].

    * A Professional plan subscription is required to use [Collection Auto Upload].

  • I’ve started rekordbox CloudDirectPlay, however sometimes tracks are not appearing on the browse screen and I can’t seem to load tracks. Why is this?

      If the upload isn't complete, the track can't be loaded.
