Pioneer DJ Releases Significant Upgrade to Professional DJ Application, rekordbox

Pioneer DJ has announced an expanded offering of creative possibilities for its professional DJ application, rekordbox, by adding vocal position analysis, support for the Beatsource LINK streaming service for open format DJs and a playlist Auto Upload feature.

“rekordbox is a popular and powerful tool for DJs of all experience levels. We’ve been working with users to deliver the next level of functionality they need, and this update delivers,” said Yoshinori Kataoka, president and CEO, AlphaTheta Corp. “Most significantly, with rekordbox and our Creative subscription plan, artists can see when vocals will drop in a track by simply glancing at the waveform—this is a powerful new feature allowing DJs to never clash a vocal again!”

Kataoka added that DJs interested in integrating new sounds into their sets can update to rekordbox ver. 6.0.1 and use the Performance mode to choose from millions of tracks in the Beatsource LINK*1 catalog. To help ensure playlists stay updated, artists can use the new Auto Update feature to add a track to a playlist on the go, and have it automatically upload to the cloud for use on other devices.

Pioneer DJ’s new rekordbox platform follows the industry-wide transition to a subscription-based software model and delivers artists innovative and real-time updates without added costs. All artists receive a 30-day free trial of rekordbox 6.0.1 and can purchase Core and Creative plans at a discounted rated (offer ends July 13, 2020). Artists currently using rekordbox 5 will not lose access to their paid software.
