Hi Team, I must be doing something strange or my work flow is just not right 
I have looked at the tutorials etc but can’t figure this out.
So, when I do a full Sync of my Serato database the folders appear is Lexicon but it a strange order…would be nice if they would display as my Serato does…but not a biggie.
The issue is when I sync to Rekordbox 6/7 with the Modified box checked it overwrites all changes I previously spent hours going thru in Rekordbox - this is mainly Active Loop settings and grid adjustments where needed - all the other info seems ok such as cue points etc.
I would have thought that the Modified sync wouldn’t change any of the data already there…any ideas??
Thanks…Nigel
Import should normally keep your playlist order.
Modified Sync means it will send any track or playlist to Rekordbox that have changed in Lexicon, since the last sync. So that means full tracks and not just a small change of a track. For example; if you change the title of a track, it will send the entire track to RB including cues, grid, etc.
That’s what I thought would happen, but it’s not…my import is all over the place in terms of order.
Also, the tracks that have NOT changed since the last sync have lost their updates that I had completed in Rekordbox -so something must be awry…but what?
Check if the number of tracks that Lexicon is going to sync makes sense, when you choose Modified Sync. Tracks in RB should not change unless Lexicon is overwriting them
OK, this is interesting - so I added 14 tracks to my Serato Library - I did an import to Lexicon and can see these 14 tracks in their relevant crates. When I went to sync to Rekordbox in the Modified format it said it was going to sync “600 playlists and 33397 tracks that were changed since the last sync”
That last sync was done last night when I logged this initial issue as I had lost all my Rekordbox settings that had been made over the past few weeks…
Any ideas why it would try and sync so many playlists and tracks?
What kind of import did you do, full or playlist with only the 14 tracks?
If you did a full import it does make sense because that would have updated every track in your library
Apologies for the slow response…been a tad busy!
So, I did a FULL import and selected the Merge with current library from my Serato.
The Sync to Rekordbox was set to “Modified”
Does this mean I am doing my sync from Serato all wrong? or what is the best way to sync from Serato so that the Rekordbox files don’t get over written each time?
You can do a full sync to Rekordbox or just a playlist sync to make it quicker.
Modified sync is more intended for when you’ve made changes in Lexicon and only want to sync the tracks that were modified.
