About rekordbox

rekordbox from AlphaTheta (the company behind Pioneer DJ) is DJ software for preparing and organising your music and for live mixing. Its workflow mirrors the Pioneer DJ / AlphaTheta CDJ players found in most clubs, so it is the natural choice if you plan to play on club equipment.

The free plan covers music management – analysing tracks, setting cue points, building playlists and exporting them to a USB stick for club players – plus basic DJ performance. Paid plans and compatible hardware unlock more performance features, such as advanced effects and recording.
