The longest established of the utilities on this list, Rekord Buddy 2.1 works with Mac and Windows (the latter in public beta), and converts between Traktor, Serato and Rekordbox (not Rekordbox 6 at the time of writing). Once I had everything imported to my Rekordbox collection from the rekordbox xml that Rekord Buddy generates (and is fairly portable), hot cues and all that MIK made for Serato, I. So, I recently went through the exhausting steps (see cosine83's comment for the steps) of converting my Serato library over to Rekordbox using Rekord Buddy via Mac VM so I could use my new Pioneer gear.
#SETTING UP REKORD BUDDY UPDATE#
Hi, I did the recent Rekord Buddy 2 update and it still crashing when I try to import from Serato.

To provide the best experience, Remote Buddy controls other apps using AppleScript, simulated input, UI automation and even UDP packets. No other remote control app integrates so closely with as many apps as Remote Buddy.

Īnd as always feel free to ask whatever is not clear.100+ Mac Apps supported. There are more tutorials in the YT channel about for instance using the modification date as selection criterion in DJCU. I strongly advice you to watch the whole begin where I explain how things work when it comes to iTunes and Rekordbox for instance. A reminder of one of the Forum Rules: Behaviour Do not make inappropriate or offensive posts - including threats, harassment, swearing, prejudice, defamation, deliberate insults or name-calling, other negative remarks about this forum, its moderators and administrators or your fellow members. You'll have to see through the fact that I use Traktor instead of Serato.

Watch this video where is explain how my workflow works, there is a time index in the remarks. If you are going to tweak your workflow a bit, there are however some things you need to be aware off in order to make this painless.I'm in close contact with the Rekordbox engineering team about this problem and have faith this will be solved it in one of the next updates. This is why it's so important to poinpoint the conversion as good as possible in order to keep the generated XML as slim as possible. (simplified version) There is a quirk in Rekordbox that makes importing a Rekordbox.xml into a Rekordbox collection a drag.So rule of thumb don't rename or move tracks once they are introduced to your collection (iTunes is an exception to this that's why I recommend it as the collection manager of choice among many other reasons). Only if a track's filepath changes it needs to be re-analzyed by Rekordbox.Having them external makes you much more flexible, easier to maintain backups, and keeps your internal (SSD) for the OS and applications. so i still use it to beatgrid my tracks, then use rekordbuddy to transfer them. DJCU will automatically find them on all mounted volumes (even if they are in the cloud or in my case on a fileserver). It will convert your serato library to rekordbox and keep all hot cues. For either Serato, iTunes (with the correct settings) and Rekordbox it doesn't matter where tracks are stored. I strongly advocate using external drives for storing your tracks.Thank you for your business a few bullet points for you to consider:
