I bought this piano stand for my Denon Prime 4 and it works beautifully

Plixio Piano Keyboard Stand - Z Style Adjustable and Portable Heavy Duty Music Stand for Kids and Adults (Fits 54 - 88 Key Electric Pianos) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07574VQPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KEP1XWM0PJ65WWZPPWRQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I was looking at this Pinoeer 2-channel audio interface. Would that do the trick? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0756LVTY6/?coliid=I3J0IQ4GA1IF1M&colid=2R4N1ALYQVC1X&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Otherwise, I'm looking at the ART Pre, but it looks like it would need one for each turntable which is kind of a pain.

You should get yourself a little external sound card & run RCA's out of the booth output if not you'll have to use the master out This sound card will still let you have your monitors running at the same time.

Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 Ultra-Low Latency 2 In/2 Out USB Audio Interface https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0023BYDHK/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_W6SG5ZJD78ZH2R85HZBS

Yes.

1. Get a Tidal account.
2. Use Tune My Music, it’s free, and send all your tracks/playlists to Tidal.
3. Unsubscribe from Spotify, or be a baller and have both.
4. Connect Tidal account in Rekordbox
5. Experience severe overwhelm.
6. Mix.

That's the biggest issue with asio4all it does it for performance. Uninstall asio4all and use flex asio

https://github.com/dechamps/FlexASIO

Then go into ableton and rekordbox and make sure flex asio is selected. Then you can enable ableton link.

You can use Blackhole as a virtual audio driver on Mac. https://github.com/ExistentialAudio/BlackHole

Install that and set your output device to ‘Blackhole 16ch’ in system preferences (not Rekordbox).

In Rekordbox, click the icon that says ‘output audio from built-in speaker and output device’. You now have audio running through your gear and the Blackhole virtual audio device (nothing should actually be coming out of your computer speakers though).

In the audio mixer in OBS, set the input device to Blackhole 16ch and check that your levels look good when playing something in Rekordbox.

Before you stream, be sure to turn on DND and mute the other sound sources on your computer (i.e. if you have an open Twitch window in the background our something). Since you’re routing ALL your system audio to Blackhole instead of your speakers it can be pretty jarring to your viewers if you get a Messages alert in the middle of your set and Rekordbox is routing it’s audio only through your controller so you’ll never hear it. (Yep, I’ve made this mistake and only caught it watching the VoD to see why everyone was almost immediately bailing).

Let me know if you have any questions!

If it's just a few track you can use a CDJ prepared USB which can be accessed by Rekordbox on both platforms.

If you want your entire collection shareable, I've developed a tool for that https://sellfy.com/p/qgPS/

a little background

We developed the djay Conversion Utility because we wanted to use cues set in Traktor Pro in djay about 6 months ago. The idea was just for in house usage, we never intended to go public with it. But when we spoke about it with other DJ's it became clear that more people needed this functionality. As such we released what we used in house under the name djay Conversion Utility. Just because we could, we introduced conversion from Traktor Pro to Rekordbox as well as other options while the utility evolved.

And then.. things went a little nuts. It turned out that hundreds of people needed the Traktor Pro to Rekordbox conversion. We never realized that. So we expanded options, de-bugged the utility you know the drill. The early adopters might recall december 31st 2016 when we released no less then 4 updates within 12 hours. Just to make sure that everyone could prep their gigs for NewYears eve.

But coding, debugging and supporting our users drew our attention from something else. The name didn't cover the functionality of the utility anymore and the user interface was definably due for a less geeky overhaul. This all became painfully clear when DigitalDJTips.com did an article mentioning our utilities http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2017/04/dancefair-2017-3-products-show-highlights/ In the first draft of the article they had the conversion options all wrong luckily they were flexible enough to change them and well you can't argue with taste but this time they were spot on with their "not pretty" remark. This experience opened our eyes, time to get the appearance of the utility in line with its usability.

So I'm proud to inform you that from this day foward the djay Conversion Utility will be named DJ Conversion Utility. A new name (ok missing 2 letters form the old), with a new face, but the same functionality under the hood. This update is free for our existing customers!

I had exactly the same problem as you on my Dell XPS laptop and LatencyMon was invaluable in diagnosing it.

The short and narrow of if was Dell had loads of bloat ware that interferes with Rekordbox. I done clean Windows 10 install from a stock image (I.e. no Dell bloat) pretty much immediately fixed it.

The other super helpful thing was following the steps outlined in this (free) guide to help setup my laptop for low latency audio - strongly recommend following this as it is super comprehensive (it also explains how to use LatencyMon etc): https://www.cantabilesoftware.com/glitchfree/

Make sure that it's being supplied enough power.... I've had to use an external USB power supply to avoid this..... Does your cuepads blink?

They offer a bunch of different configurations ranging from $799 to $1099, check out the link below.

The moving heads I'm using here are the Lixada Moving Heads. They are really cheap considering other ones (only $71 each), I like them. To use them, the dimmer needs to be like 30% or more, otherwise they just spin around without emitting lights. It seems like you need at least 2 of them for some reason if you are using other lights too. For some reason it really acted weird with just 1 moving head and par lights. These moving heads need to be shut down and turned on correctly or the motor starts acting weird, unlike any other lights that have no moving parts. Overall, I like them and put them on a strip so I could turn them off independently if I wanted to.

Yep, that's exactly how I have my library set up; I use a bunch of these SanDisk 128GB USB-C Dual flash drives and have 3-4 of them cloned at a time in case of loss / damage, etc.

I have this little Audio Amplifier I bought from Long & McQuade for 80$. It takes 2 XLR inputs which you can then connect to each of your KRKs and it connects to your PC/Laptop with a USB-A. When you go into rekordbox, audio settings, you will see an option which says output using PC or something like that and just select this amplifier as your output. Good luck!

Then buy a $20 audio interface on Amazon and livestream with Serato like literally everyone else who livestreams with Serato. It’s cheaper than a license to Rekordbox 5 would have been when Pioneer still sold them (the DDJ-SX2 did not come with a free Rekordbox license because... wait for it.... it’s a Serato controller!)

Again, the only problem is that reality isn’t conforming to your expectations of how it should.

Edit: so that you don’t think I’m an entirely unhelpful prick here you go. Buy this for 21 pounds and plug your controller into it. You can do the thing you want to do.

Edit 2: the literal dictionary definition of obsolete is ‘no longer produced or used; out of date’ so there’s no irony there since the DDJ-SX2 is no longer produced. Don’t really know what you’re getting at there.
