Hey,
I’m just getting to grips with Lexicon, geat piece of software!
I’ve been using iTunes/Music as my main library for Serato - after importing via iTunes using a .xml file, I’ve noticed that none of the beat grids of hot cues that were set using Serato are showing up?
I’ve tried analysing my library and checked “don’t overwirte existing”, but nothing still shows up…
Any help would be greatly appreciated
iTunes doesn’t store any cues or grids. What you need to do instead is import from Serato. Then you will get all the cues and grids.
Just leave the Merge option disabled so it will wipe your current library and import from Serato. That should give you everything you have in Serato in Lexicon.
Hey,
Thanks for getting back to me… Would it work if I just finished sorting my playlists for the moment - synced with Serato, Analysed my files there again and then imported back into Lexicon via Serato as a workaround?
Rather than recreate all my iTunes playlists in Serato and sync with Lexicon now?
Yes you can also import from Serato with the Merge option enabled, then it won’t delete your tracks and playlists but it will import the cues.
When you say “What you need to do instead is import from Serato. Then you will get all the cues and grids. Just leave the Merge option disabled so it will wipe your current library and import from Serato. That should give you everything you have in Serato in Lexicon.”
Where does one find the option to import my iTunes playlist from Serato? Are you saying that’s a setting in Serato or is that something I can do in Lexicon? I really need to have all of my saved hot cues and loops that i put together in Serato show up in Recordbox. I’m lost at this point.
I’m not sure where the “Merge” option is either.
If your tracks are in Serato then you just import from Serato, no iTunes involved.
I’m using iTunes playlists in Serato. I’m not sure if my tracks or playlists are actually “in Serato”
If I import all playlists from Serato, like the video directed me to, will I loose any data saved in Serato? Is Lexicon just making a copy of those playlists or am I locked into Lexicon to access those playlists from now on? Do all Serato playlists include the iTunes playlist like in the picture I attached? Thanks for your patience
So I tried import all playlist from Serato DJ and it only imported a Serato crate. Seems there is no way to transfer the data from the itunes songs that I set up in Serato to open in Rekordbox without having to redo all of my cues and loops again. I guess unless I put iTunes playlists into Serato Crates. Is a Crate and playlist the same thing?
Drag the iTunes playlists into Serato first, so they become crates.
Crate is just what Serato calls a playlist…
AHHHH. Got it. Make a crate. That worked. Thank you!
