Record Rekordbox DJ - DDJ-RZ & Maschine Studio & Audacity

Hi

Im starting to get hold of everything in Rekordbox DJ now! I come from Serato DJ and the road has been bumpy to get everything working right.
But I am starting to loving the Rekordbox smoothness...when it works..

BUT I have som big bumps left to solve before I get totally satisfied!

Two things:

1.
I wanna record what I play inside Rekordbox DJ in both Audacity from Rekordbox DJ Through my DDJ-RZ!
It seems to be some problem with the signal from the DDJ-RZ!? It is not picked up! Has this something to do with that RZ is ONLY compatible with the Rekordbox-setup!!??
I must be able to pick up the signal and record it however I want it! This must be done in some way.
Has someone done this, please give me a guide. Thank you so much.
I only get an error-code that says following:

"Error while opening sound device. Please check the recording device settings and the projects sample-rate."

I have checked the sample-rate in Audacity and on my DDJ-RZ. Both has 24-bit, 44100Hz!

I can not figure out what is wrong..



2.
AND I wanna record what I play in Rekordbox DJ from my DDJ-RZ to my Maschine Studio!
I wanna record inside Maschine 2.6 and then use it in my productions. Or just make samples from playing around on the DDJ-RZ. It would be AWSOME!!
I followed the guide here: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/210278285-How-to-Record-an-External-Audio-Signal-with-MASCHINE-2
But It does not work!!


I have done both this things smoothly with my Numark setup I had before I stepped up to this Pioneer-gear. So I know it is totally possible!


Thank you in advance! I would really help up my workflow if this could be solved as soon as possible.

Are you using an audio interface in addition?

 

What I do is Master from DDJ-RZ to Inputs 1 and 2 of my Audient iD14 (Interface) and then tell, Machine, Ableton, Logic or Audacity to get sound from inputs one and two from the Audient iD14.

Thank you for you answer.

I use soundcard in RZ and in computer. Everything goes through my RZ. The RZ out is to an amplifier that goes to the speakers.

 

So how would I accomplish what you wrote without the Interface? What "out" do/can I use? There is only one Master out on RZ.

Cant I "pick up" the signal from one of the USB-cables from RZ into computer??
I used a Numark M6-mixer with USB and with that mixer I could do that... What is the diffrence between Numark M6-signal and the signal from USB from DDJ-RZ??

I mean, it MUST be a signal coming in to the computer. Its just a matter of "pick it up" in the right way!?

It seems really retarded from Pioneer if we MUST use a third-party audio interface to pick up the signal for recording. WHEN there is TWO (yes two, not one!) soundcards inside the Pioneer DDJ-RZ!!!

I mean there MUST be a solution to use the existing soundcards in this way!! 
Please Pioneer support, what is the solution for this? You can not mean that I PAY for two soundcards in my monster-controller DDJ-RZ, YOUR earlier flagship-model, and not be able to use them fully!? I can not beleive that is the case. I love Pioneer, and I must think this is solvable!?

When I look in Logic my Mac I see this as an optional interface. I don't have my RZ connect but i know protools does something similar as far as interface goes. You might want to try inside machine. Also in MIDI there is a config there for rekordbox so there must be a way to set it through a DAW if your using it for your computer sounds.

Thanks for all answers! I really(!) appreciate it! =)

For others to know I manage to solve it with this little cable:

I Plugged it in my DDJ-RZ to my PC in MIC-contact.
Then followed this guide for Audacity:
https://support.serato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202304744-Recording-your-mix-with-Audacity 

The Maschine Studio now works also, to record audio in from Recordbox DJ!

But I found an audio degradation.. but I have not researched in it any further so I am sure that is something else to configure.
