Track Section/Phrase Analysis
The main addition to integrating rekordbox is being able to see the different sections of a track.
Rekordbox detects verses, choruses, breakdowns, bridges etc (you can also manually mark them in rekordbox). These markings are imported into DJ.Studio, and are displayed clearly on the timeline, with colored sections for each part of the arrangement.
By clicking on one of these sections, you can automatically highlight it, making it easy to delete or loop segments in one click.
Using these cue markers makes it super easy to rapidly arrange songs at the perfect moment.
These markings are displayed above the Mixed In Key energy segment markers, so you can make the best of both pieces of integrated software at the same time.
Note, you will need to enable certain track analysis settings in rekordbox for these phrases to be marked.
Open rekordbox
