Hi guys, more of a 'dj' question here but thought id see if anyone in here knows anything about this.
I understand that a lot of guys 'record mixes' from their laptop. Obviously for promotional purposes. You know, labels put out podcasts to promote music and their releases, DJs put out podcasts etc

Now I understand that recording mixes from decks is better blah blah blah....... but I am looking for something to record for when I am away from home. I don't really want to invest in traktor as I prefer to mix from cdjs (and I am tight).

Now what I want to know is: does anyone have experience in doing this with Rekordbox? I see you can record in rekordbox but there is just a crossfader....no EQs....seems strange to me? anyone used it before? what was the outcome?

I know that Morgan page for his podcasts just uses ableton and volume automation so you could do that route. that would be for more radio mixes where its mostly just playing a full song then mixing into another. you could use something like traktor or serato if you already DJ and just record but that's tougher. So you can technically mix using volume automation but don't expect amazing mixes from it.

lol ableton live is the best for making mixes

armin van buuren does everything on ableton live with ASOT

just play with the EQ for the transitions and use the time warping

recordbox is for gathering tracks and organising your sets
