It is not as hard as you think. If you are reading this, I am sure you are curious about Rekordbox and why you should perhaps switch over from another program like Serato for example. There are two reasons why I have switched over. One is the cloud backup system. I have moved over to having all my music on the cloud for a few years now and there is no looking back for me. I have gone through several main gig computers since then and it has saved me so much headache and worry. Using Dropbox in combination with the Rekordbox cloud service has been a game changer for me as far as productivity and workflow goes.
The second reason that I considered moving was the use of USB sticks. Not having to carry around a backpack is so important actually. You do not want to be walking around the party with a huge backpack on your back. It is just so much easier to turn up with headphones and USB sticks. You might even get away with not using headphones nowadays if you are well prepared.
Features. Rekordbox has a huge amount of extra features available for DJs that are willing to dive in a little deeper into the program. There is an automix function, DMX lighting control and more.
Switching over is not that difficult. There are programs that will convert your serato library into a rekordbox format library but I just did not want to have to mess with all that. Just wanted to concentrate on learning the program that the equipment is designed for.
