Smart crates
A smart crate lists every track that matches its rules. It updates as your library changes. Make one with ⌥⌘N, or right-click the tree and choose New smart crate.
Each rule reads as a sentence with the value editable in place, for example “Shorter than 3:00” or “Added in the last 90 days”. Add a rule from the menu. Every rule has a visible × to remove it. Most rules can be flipped to their opposite.
| Rule | Matches |
|---|---|
| Shorter than, Longer than | Length |
| BPM | A tempo range |
| Key | One or more Camelot keys |
| Added in the last, Added more than | Days since the track joined the library |
| Never played, Not played in, Played in the last, Played on N nights | Play history read from Rekordbox |
| Kept, Undecided | The current review’s decision |
| Same audio | A confirmed duplicate whose other copy isn’t cut |
| Missing file | The file isn’t where Selector Studio last saw it |
| Quality | Is, at most or at least High, Medium or Low (only measured tracks match) |
| Unsteady beat grid over N ms | Rekordbox’s grid strays from a steady tempo |
| Not in any crate | In no crate at all |
| Marked extended | Marked Extended in a review |
| Has an edit | A saved edit exists |
| Not in Rekordbox | No longer in Rekordbox’s collection |
And, or
Section titled “And, or”When a crate has more than one rule, the word between them is “and” or “or”. Click it to flip it. “And” needs every rule to match; “or” needs any one.
The name
Section titled “The name”A smart crate you haven’t named is called by its rules, in the same words, and the name follows them as you change them. Rename it and it keeps that name from then on.
Ready-made
Section titled “Ready-made”Selector Studio starts you with Recently added, Shorter than 3:00, Same audio, Missing file and Low quality. Once Selector Studio has read Rekordbox’s play history it adds Never played, Not played in a year and Most played. Delete any of them and it stays deleted.
