Intelligent file management for fast, smooth track selection

Superior track analysis
When it analyzes music files, rekordbox gathers a variety of useful information such as waveforms, beatgrid, BPM, keys, and phrases. In addition, a new AI-powered algorithm accurately displays the position of vocals. All of this helps the software to perform at a higher, more stable level.
