I’m in the process of switching to DJay Pro from being a devote Rekordbox user for many years. One of the features I’m really missing and am struggling to make work in DJay Pros implementation is the Related Tracks feature. I use this heavily in Rekordbox because it’s so easy to use. It’s a single button on the players that will toggle the related flag.
The implementation in DJay Pro is a lot more convoluted with the Releated list being buried within the information tab for the current track. It makes no sense to me why this is here anyway. Surely there’s room to squeeze in one more button to display the related list alongside the queue, history etc.
Additionally to this, the only way to mark related tracks is via drag and drop from the library, with no drag and drop ability from the decks currently loaded. There’s been many a time I’ve navigated away from the tracks currently playing and wanted to set them to related. Then having to search the library for the track to drag and drop from the list.
So, to summarise, my suggestion;
1: Make setting related tracks easier (via a single button, preferably midi/keyboard mappable)
2: Promote the Related list to the main side toolbar for easier access.
I mean, apart from this I’m absolutely loving DJay Pro. I was getting a little bored of DJing but spending time using stems and the awesome effects has got me buzzing for it again.
Would love to select ‘my own’ related tracks as well, Rekordbox has this feature. You know, when 2 tracks fit together like a glove, you can link them and then they show up as related tracks.
Thanks for clarifying that for @Kikeon. Just goes to show how buried it is when people don’t even realise it’s there. Fingers crossed it gets some attention from the devs to make it easier to use.
I think everyone who would appreciate a better, more user-friendly, and more accessible related tracks feature should make sure to upvote this request using the Vote box at the top left. This way, Algoriddim can see there’s strong interest in this improvement.
