Set timing
Plan how long a set plays with a start time, blend length, set tempo and timing for each track.
The planned length is what the set actually takes to play: each track's planned part at its planned tempo, less the blend into the next track.
The summary above the tracklist compares it with the length you planned:
left when the set is shorter, over when it's longer, or on time within 30 seconds.
Length, at least when some tracks have no length yet. The real total can only be longer.
Set the planned length with the Length chip under the set name.
Choose Start time under the set name.
Pick the hour and minute, in five-minute steps, in Starts at. Clear removes the start time.
Pick a Blend length: Hard cut, 16, 32, 48 or 64 seconds. It is how long two tracks play together. A new set uses 32 seconds.
Optionally enter a Set tempo between 40 and 250 BPM to plan the set at one tempo, as in a speedmix. Tracks you gave their own tempo keep it. Leave the field empty to keep each track's own BPM.
With a start time, the Starts column shows when each track begins. While the show is live, the blend length and the set tempo can't change.
Select the track and choose Timing.
Fill in what you need:
Play from and to: the part of the track you play, as 1:32 or as seconds.
Tempo: the BPM you play it at, between 40 and 250. Pitch sets the same change as a percentage. Both need the track's own BPM.
Blend into next: this track's blend in seconds, instead of the set's. The last track has none.
Press Enter to save a field, or Escape to undo your typing.
Under the fields, Start at or End at offers your own Rekordbox cues for the track, when it is in your import, and −16 bars and +16 bars to move the point. Clear a field to fall back to the track or the set, or choose Reset to clear them all.
The time column turns bold when a track plays only part of its length or at another tempo. Hover it to see how much plays.
Shift-click the first and last track of a run.
Choose Timing in the bar that appears.
Enter the part, tempo or blend for all of them, for example the same tempo for every track, then choose Apply.
Empty fields stay as they are on each track. Reset timing clears the timing of every selected track. One ⌘Z undoes the whole change.
