    You're a legend. I purchased your Rekordbox beginners tutorial a couple of months ago. I can't lie, I was almost disappointed at first, but going through it discovered how useful those basic skills are and how strong foundation they actually build. Thank you for that. I will save up for the other two tutorial packs even if I don't win them now

    Great video. Thank you Very Much... I never realized How Powerful Rekordbox is with all its options and organizations. I just installed it threw stuff in it.... just to get a feel for it..... and just astonished about what all it can do. Now going back after mixing for a few days... to get a better understanding of the software itself. Organizing the wasn't too hard but being aware of the features that I didn't know were there.

    Good stuff as always! One thing that bugs me about Rekordbox is keeping my genre lists updated after I've added tracks in the folders themselves. Best thing I've come up with is to keep my genre playlist names the same as the folders and then after I'm done stuffing new tracks I drag the folders over to Rekordbox. I get the 'replace existing playlist' promts but it seems its not readding/reanalizing the old stuff, just the new ones. Kinda wish there was an update playlist from folder feature of some sort. Any tips for doing this better ?
