Rekordbox Performance Mode

Now Playing 2 works with any hardware that is compatible with Rekordbox 6 in Performance mode.

To get started, make sure Rekordbox is in Performance mode by selecting "Performance" at the top of Rekordbox.

Now Playing reads from Rekordbox's playlist history database. Rekordbox adds a track to this history after you've played a song for at least 60 seconds (see "Changing Track Update Timing" below). The position of the faders on your mixer is not read by Now Playing.

After the install of Now Playing, start it up. It will wait to make a connection with Rekordbox.

Start Rekordbox and make sure it's set in Performance mode. Now Playing will detect Rekordbox and show the last played track from the history database.

Now load a track into Rekordbox and press play.

Now Playing will display the track as soon as Rekordbox counts it as played. Rekordbox counts a track as played after it's been playing for 60 seconds by default.

Changing Track Update Timing

By default Rekordbox will send Now Playing updates after you play a song for 60 seconds. To change this go to Preferences > Advanced > Browse, then change the Playback time setting.

Note: You must upgrade to Rekordbox 6.6.8 or higher for this setting

Note: Now Playing's internal fastest update is 10 seconds. Meaning setting Rekordbox to less than 10 seconds won't make it any faster than 10 seconds.
