Hi Everyone. Managing my library between two platforms has been a nightmare… mainly because both applications are kind of trash in my opinion (coming from someone who has been designing software for over 20 years). Anyway… I thought I would share the workflow I created for my specific needs.
One of the best things about this workflow, is being able to use my phone to manage playlists, hot cues, etc… and then syncing it all the way back.
I mainly us an SD card, just too lazy to find the icon for it If you ever need help with your mobile app or want to get feedback, I’ve been designing mobile apps every since they were invented for some very well known brands.
I was thinking about this the other day, and feel like if you could nail just being able to play and manage playlists… add, edit, delete, change order, etc for an alpha candidate… that would be huge. I think after that, you can add managing hot cues as a later subsequent release. The key of course is how you develop it so you can launch ios and android simultaneously since I’m picking up that a lot of DJs have androids.
I actually use a portable SSD drive that I’ve been using to go back and forth as the primary drive. Until someone figures out sync and the Fat32 issue… it’s the unfortunate way to manage things. That said, my primary drive also automatically backs up to Dropbox… so even if the drive fails or gets lost… I can always retrieve the latest version.
I also use a portable drive as my primary drive, but I have the feeling it messes things up when I use for both playing and for being the Lexicon-source, so I wanted to get a clean internal disk for just Lexicon. Just not sure what’s the best way to change the source-disk.
This looks great but I also need Serato in this configuration.
We need an easy way to sync Rekordbox - Serato & EngineDJ across multiple devices. A video of how to do this would be fantastic. Rekordbox subscription with DropBox.
