However, it is really disappointing, that the sync works this way and that the dynamic beatgrid mode is not supported. Many thanks for your answer, which clarifies all my questions.
Is a real 2-way sync including a full beatgrid sync at anypoint in time possible/planned? If this is all true, then the sync is meaningless, as the beatgrid editing is taking most of the time - and as such the sync is almost useless - or do I oversee something? Which means you have to analyse the tracks again in Rekordbox. So if you can not re-sync from Rekordbox to Cross it is all useless to my mind.ī) Rekordbox supports 2 beatgrid modes (normal and dynamic), but it looks like Cross only supports one mode? Why? and which?Ĭ) Can the (dynamic) beatgrid of Rekordbox be somehow imported into Cross?ĭ) It also seems, that with the Rekordbox Sync (from Cross to Rekordbox) the Cross beatgrid is NOT synced at all! live with the CDJs which is then synced into Rekordbox). It seems beatgrids are lost and it is impossible to import the Rekordbox collection into Cross!Ī) Is this true or is there any way to sync from Rekordbox to Cross?Īs a real DJ most changed are done in Rekordbox (resp. The current sync is just an import bridge within Rekordbox and as such a simple import of tracks and cue-points only. This seems actually to be a one-way from Cross to Rekordbox - but not the other way around?!

The software does do exactly what it advertises, and I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Unfortunately as part of the terms of the beta I am not able to give many details on the software in its current state. I’ve purchased the beta license for Rekord Buddy 2.0 and have spent some time with it. The thinking is: users willing to pay the cost of the software up front are more likely to be invested in the beta process. Next Audio Labs wants beta users that are serious about using the software and willing to actively report on any issues while still in a testing phase. This will certainly prevent some DJs from joining the beta – but that’s also the point. Cleverly, the current purchase price is discounted to try and entice more people to join the beta.
The software license for the beta will extend into the full release version.
