rekordbox version 4.2.1 brings new features. RMX EFFECTS Plus Pack for rekordbox dj offers fresh creative possibilities.

New features are coming to our free music management software, rekordbox.

Version 4.2.1 will be available on 2nd August 2016, bringing a new way of easily recording analogue sound sources so you can effortlessly manage digital and analogue music in one library. Using its audio analysis technology, rekordbox detects the silence between tracks and creates a separate file in your library for each one, so you can just press play and record a whole album from an analogue source to individual tracks without resetting the recording in between songs. And thanks to the new normalise function, when you DJ using recorded tracks their volume will be automatically standardised so there’s no need for you to edit them in advance. We’re also making it easier to find the perfect track to play next in your set with the new Matching feature. You can audition tracks in rekordbox and mark the ones that mix well together, then when you’re DJing on certain multiplayers (CDJ-TOUR1, CDJ-2000NXS2), you can choose to display the tracks that you’ve matched with the track that’s currently playing (firmware update required).

We’re also releasing the new RMX EFFECTS Plus Pack for rekordbox dj. Taking the Scene FX from our RMX hardware – effects units used by DJs and producers for live performances and track-making – the Plus Pack brings exciting new ways for you to unleash your creativity and make your sets unique.

And to further improve the accessibility of rekordbox, the application now supports all languages supported by Mac OS and Windows, including Hebrew and Arabic.
