Pioneer DJ snuck a new Rekordbox update past us the other week, quietly launching Rekordbox 5.4.0 into public beta on their forums. It’s a smaller update compared to the spree of new features that they added earlier this year. Two features are particularly being championed in this update: “Traffic Light” style key compatibility displays in the Browsing area, and the ability to protect your library by locking out edits. Keep reading for the change log.
Want to skip all of this writing and just download the new beta? It’s available right here on the Rekordbox forums. Remember, don’t update to this version unless you’re willing to accept the risk that everything could break for no good reason – that’s why it’s a beta.
This update has two new features that are worth calling out specifically that many DJs could find useful. First up, the Traffic Light display for finding similar keys.
A button was added to the header of the browser area of Rekordbox that highlights which tracks would go well with the track currently loaded. It’s a really easy way to quickly mix in key and see what songs you might want to consider playing. To use this feature:
The other big feature Pioneer DJ added in this update is Library Protection. This is a pretty simple concept: they wanted a way to lock down libraries to avoid accidental removal or editing of a library. Maybe too many DJs have nosy kids these days who are deleting tracks from their libraries?
To use Library Protection, jump into the preferences and go to [Preferences] > [Advanced] > [Browse] > [Library Protection] and tick the box there to enable it. Editing and deleting tracks will be disabled to protect your library.
There’s a slew of much smaller changes in the new update – here’s what Pioneer DJ has shared with us:
