i love traktor, just bought new CDJ's.. do i really need to switch to rekordbox?
Posted on: 19.03.2013 by Kandis Smollen
So here it is, I just bought a new setup, 2x CDJ-2000nexus + 1x DJM-900nexus.. I've been using Traktor 2 Pro for several years now, and really like how close of a zoom you can get to the waveform when setting beatgrids.. I tried installing the "rekordbox" software, and was really disappointed that I could hardly see if I was being "exact" enough when moving around the beatgrids..

In using Traktor, I am basically a pro at quickly and efficiently setting beatgrids.. Is there any good reason why I should switch to rekordbox (like will I lose any important functionality of my new setup?) or will Traktor do everything that rekordbox can do plus more?

And also, do Traktor beatgrids transfer perfectly on a USB drive when I plug it into my CDJ's? Thanks for the help!

+1 for rekord buddy here. With a couple of clicks your whole traktor collection, with all tags, beat grids, playlists, cues etc gets ported over to rekordbox. It's only

what's the point of buying CDJ-2000 Nexus if you're going to use traktor with them?

I'd also like to ask why you bought this setup when you had so little background knowlage of how it works. It's kind of like buying a ferrarie without a driverlicense.

Dude did you do ANY research before you bought this set up?

Rekord Buddy is a 3rd party paid app, and proper Traktor integration seems to be coming soon in the 1.5 update.

Didn't someone make a program to transfer Traktors stuff to Rekordbox.

I believe it's just cue points etc not grids though

You just made a thread on this 30 mins ago. Short term memory problems?

The detailed Nexus waveforms are entirely dependant on Rekordbox, and if you ever want to use the CDJs without a computer you'll need to analyze+export your music through RB too.

Traktor grids do not transfer in any way to CDJs. You can use the CDJs as HID controllers like I said in your other thread, but you won't get the detailed waveforms on the player screen like you do with Rekordbox.
