![]() the technical argument presented here and elsewhere are either nonexistant or they dodge the issue. Pulse, I think you will not make the frustration go away with that answer. (no standard of tagging in FLAC is not true, there is a standard as Pasi suggested) I would like to hear the argument as to _why_ you shouldnt support this (technically speaking) as opposed why I should change my workflow to suit your software. If you want DJs to completely change their archiving workflow, then you lose marketshare. FLAC is the way because _it_simply_works_. I agree with Irvin, I dont use WAVs because tagging is proprietary and largely doesnt work. I _would_ use it over Traktor in many gigs if I could use the format. I DONT use Rekordbox or 2000s natively simply because I cant be bothered to recompress my triple-backed up music archive from FLAC to mp3 just to use Rekordbox. ![]() I always have sound engineers running over to check out what's making such a crystal clear sound. When I use Traktor I use RME hardware instead of NI. On a Funktion1 or a Void rig you WILL hear the difference in a club. It offers 30% reduction in filesize and maintains WAV quality. I think its ridiculous to assume to "know better" that FLAC is a pointless standard to support. +1 on FLAC support or at least add an option that Rekordbox will convert the file to something native.Ĭ'mon people add your plus ones to this thread otherwise they will never add this feature. It takes about 15 seconds to save any changes. I use Carbon Copy Cloner to do very simple and quick backups every couple of days or so. I have an identical second hard drive which is my backup drive. I keep my music on an external hard drive. It worked perfectly and all of my tags were preserved for my WAV and AIFF files. I recently did a clean install upgrade of my OS from Snow Leopard to Lion, and had to do the Rekordbox migration. You just need to be diligent with your backups. Yes, I would certainly like to have more tagging ability, but we can still tag those files in Rekordbox and iTunes, or in other music library software. Surely drive space is not the biggest factor? The only advantage I would concede to MP3 or FLAC is the tagging ability. I don't understand why WAV is not an option because of file size? Hard drives are so cheap now and the capacities are huge. But I can tell you the difference at my home, in my car (probably the easiest place to tell), and at the club I play monthly. So you would be correct if the system being used does not have good bass reproduction ability. In my tests, the bass response is always the dead giveaway. ![]() ![]() But in a club with even a reasonable sound system I think it matters. If it's a small lounge with self-powered Mackies hanging by chains, then perhaps you are correct. I guess it depends on what kind of music it is, and the venue. I could understand someone not hearing much difference in an MP3 when using a pair of those lousy white iPod earphones, but on an amplified system in a club. And I have done blind tests with friends to prove it.Īnd I would argue that the need for quality formats is ever greater when being used in a live situation. the same WAV file playing on the same system with an iPod through the dock connection. I can hear the difference between a WAV file on CD vs. an 320 MP3 (that's pretty easy), but I can do even better than that. Koobah, I can assure you that I can hear the difference in not only a WAV vs. why not stick with wav or aiff? ok art work and enough tags to populate would be a nice place to start! but with £50 2TB drives is a compression (lossless or not) format needed. dont get me wrong reading the spec of flac, and hearing the difference its an awesome format as is aflac. not many of my apps (ok they are main stream) actually support flac - audacity and audition are the only two on my lappy! Ok i have traktor as well but i gave up using that due to its poor stability on stage!Īs i said above id love a new format to work with, but 320k mp3 on most systems does the trick. I personally wouldnt want to be playing chase with a bunch of open source dudes when i potentially have a bunch of issues i need to focus my development team on.ie rekordbox has a long way to go to get to where it should be - i would rather pioneer focus on the core issues before new stuff is added.īeing a mac user i have limited access to flac. If flac was to change the libraries, traktor would need to ensure this change is reflected in their package, or face a bunch of djs moaning for support! while NI may have flac support in traktor - they have no control over its future support or direction of the format.
