MixVibes partners with Pioneer to develop rekordbox

MixVibes is proud to announce its cooperation with Pioneer in the development of rekordbox music file management software. Today Pioneer unveiled the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 multi players with rekordbox, as previewed in the “Dawn of a New Species” online teasers.

rekordbox is based on MixVibes Cross’ advanced media management functionality, and was developed for use in combination with Pioneer products. MixVibes was selected to develop rekordbox due to its ten years of experience in developing stable, high quality audio software for DJs. Like MixVibes Cross, rekordbox is built around a high-end audio engine to deliver high quality features, such as cue, loops, hot cues and the deck layout is based on the new CDJ hardware.

Pioneer issued the following statement:

Based on Pioneer’s ‘Prepare & Perform’ concept, rekordbox works (for both Mac and PC) like the leading music database management software, but is more creative and more DJ-friendly. rekordbox allows DJs to prepare more before their performance and opens a door to tools such as Hot Cue Banks and Quantize, for perfectly synced loops every time. DJs can then export data to a USB or SD device to access vast libraries of music files and perform live – without the need for extra equipment or any inconvenient rewiring in the club. No need to burn CDs, simply take your USB device to the club, plug in to the CDJ and play. Through the industry-first Pro DJ Link, music files and database data on one single USB or SD device can be shared simultaneously by up to four players connected via LAN (local area network) cable. Plus, the data history of each DJ set is automatically saved and can be made into a playlist that can be loaded back into rekordbox.

A major update of Cross is planned this year and will include native support with the Pioneer CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 for plug and play compatibility as well as many exclusive new features.

OMG ! They look really nice,... with the huge screen and all the new features i .. so the relative price is ????

heard something about 2100$ and 1700€

Great piece of gear. the price is kinda crazy so i don't think any bedromm Djs will be picking these up anytime soon.

However Cross users can be happy, rekordbox is based on the same technology and the mediabase will easily be importable... When your local club does equip you'll be able to play there without loosing the feel/organization of your favorite DJ software !

I hope rekordbox becomes freeware. I can really see this application becoming a contender to iTunes place as N*1 DJ database software... If it can do a better job at BPM/playlist management and CUE point/LOOP preparation + be compatible with other DVS' such as Cross, Serato or Traktor, this could become a great tool for all DJs... Just an idea thrown out there ...

A very good idea but it's up to Pioneer marketing to do it... Not to Mixvibes to substitute to their thought.

Thanks uncle

I'm sure Pioneer's management is pretty upset by this post and already trying to come up with a retaliation startegy to overcome the massive press repercussions haha

anyways, hopefully Pioneer will see the logic in this since most DJs who don't own CDJs still play with them in clubs.
