    As always... excellent content. Pioneer/Alpha Theta should hire you.
  • @marcwest833
    I don’t think I’ve seen a channel with such efficient content on the workings of Rekordbox and how to get the most out of the software. This means making more time to use for creating and playing sets. I also thoroughly recommend anyone who finds the content useful to subscribe to the newsletter. Fantastic content. Thank you 🙏
  • @DJ_S2000
    2:50 you can use your controller too - Shift + track selector :)
  • @Ervy__
    At 3:00 you can simply hover over the waveforms and scroll with your mouse to zoom in/ out too
  • @ArmandPad
    The fact that AlphaTeta hasn't added side by side waveforms (a la Tracktor) is insane. I really suffered from this before transitioning to CDJs.
  • @DmitryInNz
    Fantastic video again, Chris. That last tip is killer, I've been wanting that for ages. Thank you!
  • @kayceejr
    great job mate! thanks for all the tips. makes life easier!
  • @kendeelD
    WoooooW.. that will make my life much easier! Your Work and your video are awesome. very grateful for you! 🙏🚀🚀
  • @aksoofficial
    Love the video. Some of these are very useful, so I’ll add them to my shortcuts. Thanks
  • @pengam2006
    Holy shitbags. This was incredibly useful. Best tips for me - show/hide platter, sub browser, find in browser. Brilliant. Any chance you could name the shortcut timecodes? That would be super super helpful.
  • @johnnyk.3635
    Thanks again for learning new stuff which recordbox want to hide from us❤
  • @inputsh
    6:55 If we get that advanced functionality in Rekordbox 41, then maybe we'll also get Traktor-like method of adding new tracks to collection in Rekordbox 76. Going from "just throw a bunch of tracks into a specific folder and Traktor will auto-add them to your collection next time you start it" to "move them out of the Downloads folder, start Rekordbox, drag them manually before you forget about them, occasionally select all and drag them into Rekordbox to make sure you haven't missed any of them" has been a truly spectacular downgrade.
  • @sagelyden
    Have we figured out how to change the BPM decimals from two decimal points to one? This would be huge for me on an flx4 with sticky tempo faders
  • @dbracing713
    Love your videos Chris, learnt everything about Rekordbox from your videos! Quick question if I can ask? Is there a known audio quality issue recording sets on the FLX4? Have heard it could be due to the sound card but wondered if you’ve encountered it? Whenever I record in Rekordbox the audio sounds awful, even after running tracks through Platinum Notes first
