Stop Playing Low-Quality Rips. As a DJ or producer, your sound is your brand. You can’t afford to play a "high-quality" track that’s actually an upscaled, low-bitrate rip. dRIP provides the technical clarity you need to ensure every file in your library is club-ready. Whether you are digging through new promos or cleaning up your Rekordbox library, dRIP gives you visual certainty - on the go. Using advanced spectral analysis, you can identify frequency cutoffs and distinguish between a true lossless file and a fake "320kbps" render in seconds. dRIP also supports a library, playback, and categorization under the RINSE feature. FREE audio file playback and library features right on your device. dRIP is for visually inspecting the quality of the file. RINSE is for validating you actually like the track. Core Features: Precision Spectral Analysis: View high-resolution spectrograms to see the exact frequency range of your audio. Share Sheet Integration: dRIP straight from the iOS Share Sheet. Inspect files directly from your browser, cloud storage, or messaging apps without opening the main app. Batch Inspection: Save time by inspecting multiple files at once. Perfect for vetting large downloads or new record pool hauls. Designed for Professionals: Built with a focus on both aesthetic and function by DERMANO, specifically for DJs, producers, and audiophiles. Detailed Metadata: Get instant readouts on sample rates, bit depth, file size, channels, LUFS, key, BPM. Why dRIP? In an era of WhatAapp and Telegram DJ pools quality varies wildly. Don't let a 16kHz cutoff ruin a high-end sound system. dRIP is the essential tool for the modern technical DJ. -DERMANO

Rimeo puts your Rekordbox DJ library on your iPhone, streamed from your own computer. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud: your audio files stay on your Mac or Windows PC. Install the free RimeoAgent app on the computer where Rekordbox lives and sign in. It finds your library by itself, so there is nothing to export: no XML, no USB stick, no copying files. Then sign in to Rimeo on your iPhone with the same account, and your playlists and tracks are there. YOUR LIBRARY, AS IN REKORDBOX • The full playlist and folder tree, with BPM, key, genre, label, artwork, play count and search • Waveforms: scrub any track by its waveform and find the part you need • MP3, WAV and AIFF, including 24-bit files LISTEN ANYWHERE • At home over Wi-Fi, or from anywhere through an encrypted connection to your own computer • Offline: download single tracks or whole playlists and play them with no signal.

Rekordbox's database is backed up before every write • Similar Tracks: ideas for what plays next, picked from your own DJ library • Pulse: reads your set history back to you, such as which tracks are in rotation and which never made a set • Stems: split any track into vocals, drums, bass and more. Your computer does the work, and you listen to each part on your phone, with solo and mute. Works for audio files on your phone too FROM YOUR PHONE TO REKORDBOX • Add to my Rekordbox: got a track in Files, AirDrop or a chat?
