rekordbox Phrase Analysis guide

In the recent rekordbox 5.1.0 update, Pioneer have introduced 'Phrase Analysis'. Here is our quick guide to what this is and how it can help you in your DJ sets. You will first of all have to update to the most recent version of rekordbox. You can do that here.

The latest version means you can analyze the structure of a track through Phrase Analysis. After Phrase Analysis, each part of the structure is defined as a phrase. and the track structure is expressed as a set of the following phrases. This function only works in performance mode.

Intro:       an opening phrase of a track
Up:           a build-up phrase of a track
Down:      a breakdown phrase of a track
Chorus:    an uplifting phrase of a track
Bridge:     an interlude phrase of a track
Verse:       a phrase that does not apply to other phrases
Outro:      an ending phrase of a track

You can then edit the phrase positions, delete or combine sections to your liking giving you instant visible feedback as to what is coming up in your tracks allowing for smoother transitions. All in all a welcome addition to the DJ software.
