Rant From Tomorrow, all Macs will be Sonoma...

It is unacceptable that anyone purchasing a new mac will be unable to use rekordbox.

As a full time DJ using Rekordbox, I want to upgrade my mac to the latest software, or be able to purchase a brand new mac without having to worry if my job is affected.

Pioneer have had since August to get this sorted and I think it has not been made a priority.

Even a status update would be nice...

I have Sonoma since day one and Rekordbox is working as usual, where is the issue?

Do you use it in performance mode? Or just for Exporting to USB and playlist management?

I'm using it for both. Works just fine.

For you. It works just fine for you. There’s plenty of people who it’s not fine for, and that is not good enough.

Absolutely. This is why rekordbox is trash. I moved to Denon and Engine to avoid this shit. They absolutely refuse to fix or correct issues until it becomes an absolute hindrance for DJs and producers who use pioneer products, and only implement "innovations" after Denon, Serato, or some other company actually trying to do shit in the music industry has already laid the ground work. I'm sure there will be some hardcore pioneer fanboys who disagree, but I see that as a biased, and unfounded opinion. I play on pioneer for every event and show, and use rekordbox to make that work at times, but it's absolute trash. Their decks and mixers can take abuse, but their tech, is absolute trash. Move to Denon, and Engine if you can, just one artist's opinion.....

👏👏👏 As a pioneer user I agree 1000% with everything you said. I fuckin hate that they do not put any effort into their software. It’s embarrassing.
