Thank you so much, I had no idea how to get the songs section up by clicking browse, so I couldn't use anything. Thank you!! it's always in the details others miss
Glad I could help!
Brilliant, never new about this..
Amount of times I've loved a tune but hate the huge boring breakdown in the middle...this will come in very handy for sure...thanks Phil....
Nice one Stuart, put it to good use!
Best preview and feedbacks from you Fella. never fails
You would'nt believe how long it took me to figure this out... thank you!
you're welcome Alex.
Thank you
About to go crazy on my hip hop edits
Go for it!
Really like this feature I usually use ableton for this kind of thing but when I just want to take out an intro or something it is so much easier and quicker this way!
Nice one Karla, yes Ableton certainly has a lot more features but for a quick edit this will work well :)
Wow this is a game changer for me so that I can make some quick re-edits of tracks for my mini-sets and as a workaround for a rekordbox version of serato's flip function. Thanks DDJT
No problem!
Love it thank you! Its good to see pioneer add to rekordbox and implement some of traktor and serato studio inspired interfaces. Dope new feature!
Yes we think so too
Love this new feature, its SO fast
Yeah it is fun!
Cool stuff, love the way technology is going.. Everyone can now make tracks their own..
Yes it’s true!
You speak with clarity, thanks
Glad we could help Daniel
Thank you 🙏 so much for showing me this way of editing ✍️ can’t wait to try it at home 🏡
You're welcome Johnny.
Is it possible to censor or reverse the profanity in the songs with this edit feature? Or add any effects? I have a DDJ-1000. Thanks!
No, it isn't.
@@digitaldjtips Good question by the OP. Can I ask with explicit lyrics such as those tracks only available as a Dirty version from DJ Pools. What Tip can you provide for the quickest way to edit them to make them clean?
Use reverse slip if you know where the profanity is.
Can you take the edit to cut out a section and then put it into a sample slot?
did you find out if you can do it?
because I have the same question.
Thanks :)
This is cool. I use Serato studio for my Rekordbox edits :)
Yeah Serato Studio is cool
Another banging tutorial
Thanks
Hi Phil when using edit in rekordbox is there anyway to cut small sections out of they are only half a beat or less? If not what program could I used? I looked at ableton but that’s way to much for me. I just need something simple that has beat grids but let’s me edit finer margins
Check out Audacity, we use it for editing in our courses
Thanks Phil, helpful as usual!
You're welcome! :)
Thank you so much
You’re welcome
So I would still need an external DAW in order to edit two tracks into one correct
yes
Ive made an edit and went to render, a pop up says i need a higher plan
Ive just bought an rx3 does that come with license code ?
Thanks
No, you need to be subscribed to Core I believe.
i like the pallet
Nice
Thank you for that tutorial 🙏
No problem!
Thanks for sharing this Phil 👍
No problem!
great vid, thanks for the info, id hope there was cross fades, for like halfing a breakdown, or they add it soon
Thanks for watching!
I know this vid is old , does this copy the track so you still have the original that stays on r.b ?? So you end up with both , your edit and the original?? Tia
Yes, it does
Hey guys another great video thank you for this…quick question, I wanted your input on the Mashup 2 through Mixed in Key if you’ve used it before, and if it’s any good for editing for mashups and it’s capabilities, since the price tag is pretty cheap on it I figured I’d ask you guys about it! Thx for any info on it, and keep up the awesome videos!!
Yes, it is basic but fun for what it does.
Finally!!!!
Definitely a welcome addition!
@@digitaldjtips but nothing more than cut copy and paste...serato studio is more advanced...rekordbox should also put additional tools like effects etc and instruments
Sure it's a new feature and has room to grow, a welcome addition for Rekordbox users though
So helpful thank you. Can we edit the bar itself and FX or echo to the mids or highs maybe?
No you'll want a DAW for anything like that
Hi Phil. Can I use a part of another track and paste it and create the edit ?
No, it is strictly parts of the same track.
Thanks for the video i tried it super easy and fast. But it won't let me save. The rendering is locked. How do i unlock this? I have a pioneer ddj s7 which unlocks rekordbox and i don't want a monthly subscription. Any help on this thanks.
You need the subscription
Super awesome 🔊🔊🔊🔊💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🎛🎛🎛🎛🎚🎚🎚🎚🎚🎚🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for watching!
You guys are the best 🎛🎚💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Which is better - Serato Studio or Rekordbox 6.0 ?
They are not the same as one is DJ software and one is production software
Probably better comparing this editing functionality with Serato Flip an add on for Serato Pro, flip is better in my view as you can just do it on the fly as your actually playing your DJ set as it remembers your Hotcue sequences for the given track.
You can create 8 separate versions of a Track and it doesn't take up the space of 8 different tracks like Recordbox edits would, you just load your track and select which version of it you want to play, as simple as selecting a saved loop.
Hi..yeah..great video..how about removing vocals in a dj remix😀...i have ddj 400 pioneer recordbox
Not possible in RB right now, but it is in Serato and Virtual DJ, for instance.
Love this ♥️👌🏻
Agreed!
You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend these days :)
@Saul Benedict Definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :D
@Saul Benedict yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
@Saul Benedict yea, been using instaflixxer for months myself :D
I can play the track in edit mode, but I get no sound. Anyone knows how I can fix this?
I've haven't got the latest version of Rekordbox and I don't want to be upgrading. Can you recommend something other than the basic Audacity where you can do these same type of edits and one that also shows the beat grids?
Mashup from Mixed in Key is worth a look
Dope.
Agreed :)
Does it allow you to use the stems to make edits?
No, but that would be great!
do you need to have subscription version of rekordbox to render tracks?
Yes
Hi, not sure if this was mentioned but you must be a Rekordbox PLAN (excluding Free plan) subscriber to be able to export. (You can't with a free plan and I'm yet to try if it's possible with a Hardware unlocked Plan)
Thanks for the info
@@digitaldjtips Thank you for the tutorial, this has allowed me to create an amazing edit in few clicks... then I hit the export limitation, will see if I use hardware unlock will allow me to export my edit.
i do a lot of editing in i movie which as you know comes free when you buy a mac.Having an editing feature in the software is rather good
You do audio editing in iMovie?
@@digitaldjtips yes sometimes i have a music file with a video i dont like so i can detach the vdeo and delete it then i can edit the audio on its own.Or i just need the audio for a mix i did for Mixcloud so i can detach the video and maybe edit the start and ends sometimes because with the video there might be a lead in or out which is a bit long and with no sound using titles and video effects that on a Mixcloud audio mix wont be needed.I also find it useful for fixing little mistakes in a mix and editing and tidying up.I prefer using i movie to audacity.I just seen to get much more work done and i have usually got better results though audacity does have one or two features that sometimes prove useful like getting an overall even sound and equalizing left and right channels if something went wrong on that but mostly i find I movie quick and easy to use.Also i like the speed function and the transitions though i need some new ones .I have been using the same stuff over and over for some time now.Video, audio separate or together i like using I movie.
Yeah Audacity is good but the user interface it terrible in my opinion, glad it works for you!
@@digitaldjtips thats why i mostly use I movie.Editing on Audacity is not good
Digital DJ Tips I know what you mean, but can’t grumble it’s free 😝
Can you also increase or decrease the "volume" of a song in edit mode?
Too bad you need a subscription for basic editing btw
Not sure, but from memory, no.
Is it normal that i can not render my tracks after editing them? I have the free recordbox version.
No you should be able to export them
youve not mentioned you need to pay monthly for the render services... pretty key info to me mentioning mate
This is an extract from a much longer course, not a standalone video
Any alternative software to edit tracks like this?
Audacity
Respect 💣 💎💪🏽😉
Thanks for watching!
Nice! I just got my controller and it came with Rekordbox. The question is how can I even find songs to work on without violating copyright? There is nothing out there that I can use from streaming services. Or am I wrong?
If you are making them from your owned music to play in DJ sets, you’re good to go.
@@digitaldjtips You mean owned music as I purchased and downloaded or literally made my own music? I downloaded some "copyright free" music from Hypeddit but still not sure if I can just edit those, make remixes and upload them on RUclips etc.
Can this DJ software be used with the Numark NS7III?
No
Wouldn’t Audacity be just as good? If not considering effects and deeper editing options?
It's not a question of "good". Audacity can do far, far more. It is really a question of "convenient". For really quick edits, this will take seconds.
U can do the same thing and more with virtual dj
Which is zero use to Rekordbox users ;)
I Didn't mean any disrespect but what I said is true y r u promoting a company thats ripping people off
We're not promoting anything, we're covering a new feature in a software that millions of DJs use.
Just to confirm, is this a free feature?
And in your example, could you overlay that breakdown effect over the track such as the adding it back to the start of the new breakdown?
No it isn't you'll need a subscription
Technically it's free to edit, but to export/save you need subscription... Cheap shot.
I do re-edits like this from time to time using Traktors remix decks. Using the remix decks to chop up the track. When saving all the samples as a remix set you get all the each individual file so you can copy & paste then join them together in Audacity.
Just another way of doing it.!
Cool! Yes often there are many ways to do the same thing :)
i use a similar process. the rekordbox feature is pretty limited in so many ways.
Can these edits be exported onto usb for use with Cdj's?
Yes
is it comparible to the serato studio?
No it is far more basic
so is this a subscription service or is it actually part of the software you bought.
It is subscription, part of a higher tier.
@@digitaldjtips then sadly no.
Anyway to copy parts of one song and input it into another?
No
@@digitaldjtips Even if I upgrade from the free version? I’ll most likely need to get ableton or something correct?
Yes you'll want a DAW like Ableton if you're going to be doing anything more advanced
Do you need paid membership for this ?
Yes
LOL at him talking mad shit about the breakdown while the artist name is showing. Classy.
I am sure the artist can take one person's opinion for the sake of a demo/example. Especially as it is a track I bought and support.
@@digitaldjtips Then took a steaming shit on, publicly.
Can you do all of this with the free upgrade to 6.1 or do you need to have one of the subscription versions?
You'll need the Creative plan
@@digitaldjtips Can you explain to me what is meant by the RMX effects that are included in the creative plan?
They're basically just additional effects for you to creative with, Pioneer make standalone effects units and it's the FX from this device
@@digitaldjtips How do you access them. Same as the other effects like using pads or MIDI mapping knobs?
Same as the other effects
Does anyone know any App like this one but can be use for free ??
Audacity
@@digitaldjtips thank you very much
Why don’t it let me drag it across
It need way more features like adding a filter on some parts
Well, it's a first go, maybe they will add features.
@@digitaldjtips before that I hope they will add an enhanced zoom out feature in performance mode. I desperately need it for stress free djing
Isn't this part of the subscriptions service?
Yes
I've been using this function since early October and find it very useful, just wish I could edit the bpm of tracks aswell
I guess you can always do that when actually DJing with them :)
Shame you can't use this to change the BPM of tracks. Like I want speed up some Acapellas but doing them in Ableton takes more time than it would take to just open this up and change the number
Would definitely be a nice feature
If Rekordbox would allow you to pay one flat fee upfront. I would jump on it right away. But until then, I think Ableton 10 Suite will do the job for me.🤣
Very different beasts, you can do a lot more with Ableton
Love this, gonna get started on it now. I am a simple dj that likes bells and whistles but I only play for my friends. This can spice some stuff up for sure :)
Glad to have helped :)
Awesome feature but who’s actually under the subscription plan?
Therefor I am still with RB5. I rather use Ableton for all my edits, mashups and remixes
Would be interesting to know some figures
@@maus3454 same! I really think pioneer has been dropping the ball lately. If all the new rekordbox 6 features (edit mode, cloud library sync, etc) were available for the same price as rekordbox 5, there would be no reason to use other dj software or switch to denon. Might be less money but I think the user base would grow way more
I'm laughing at the fact that he mentioned audiocity and I've been struggling with for years trying to get the precise cut to tracks. Why I didn't google this sooner is beyond me!
Glad you've found it now 😀
Apparently you need to pay for this version in order to save it
Yes, this is indeed only in Creative and Pro versions.
Glorified ‘Cut & Paste’. This has nothing on Serato Flip or VDJ’s POI editor. Can’t believe the short sightedness of some of my fellow rekordbox users🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Yet will be fine for many, plus Serato and Virtual DJ features don't help Rekordbox users any
@@digitaldjtips Yet for years, a lot of rekordbox users have been asking for an EQUIVALENT to serato FLIP, and this is what we get.
To be honest, that breakdown didn't sound good to me at all. 😊 Sorry
Thanks for the feedback!
