How do you record/capture a sample from a track using Rekordbox DJ?

I push the red record button but it does not work. I have the full version of Rekordbox.

In PERFORMANCE mode, you can record Master Out of rekordbox or input audio from Pioneer DJ products.
(When you are to record input audio from equipment other than Pioneer DJ products, use recording function in EXPORT mode.)

[Check the followings]

In case no equipment is connected or equipment other than Pioneer DJ products is connected:
 Check the following two settings.
 ・Open [Preferences] > [Audio] > [Audio] and check if a computer built-in speaker is selected.
 ・Open [Preferences] > [Audio] > [Mixer Mode] and check if "Internal" is selected.

In case a Pioneer DJ product is connected:
 ・Open [Preferences] > [Audio] > [Input channels] > [Input Record]. Check if the channel of the connected Pioneer DJ product is selected correctly.
 →If you use DJM, DDJ-SZ, DDJ-RZ, DDJ-RZX as external equipment, click the [Setting Utility] button to open the Setting Utility window. Select the [MIXER OUTPUT] tub and select mixer audio output for each channel.
・Check if the volume of recording is zero or not.
 Adjust the volume by turning the level knob while checking the level meters.

・Check if the disk has enough space to save the recorded files.
・Check if destination of the recorded files is correctly selected.
 Open [Preferences] > [Controller] > [Recordings] > [Recordings] and check [Location of Files].

My DDJ-SB is connected to my Macbook Pro and using Performance Mode in Rekordbox DJ. 

I am in [Preferences] > [Audio] > [Input channels] > [Input Record]

It says MASTER OUT and below it "Control Device Information" is Pioneer DDJ-SB which is my controller. 

I dont see what you're talking about in the latter part of your directions:
"・Check if the volume of recording is zero or not.
 Adjust the volume by turning the level knob while checking the level meters."

This is what I see on my screen when I have the Sampler panel open in Rekordbox DJ. I click the record button and nothing happens. It's for a "sampler sequencer" so maybe its the wrong button.

This is what I see on my Master Levels on the upper right hand corner of Rekordbox DJ. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7x2chiyvkhgqwhf/Screenshot%202017-04-14%2013.49.37.png?dl=0

I found the record button by opening the "REC" panel and used it to record. This is one way to create a sample, but it's not how I did it before.

Take a look at this screenshot below.

Notice how Slave_capture in the first slot of the sampler is a "capture" and stored as a Capture under Sampler (see file tree on the bottom left). This is a sample I created when I first used Rekordbox but haven't been able to do again.

With the method you described, you must give it an artist name, track name, etc. and it gets stored under "Recordings" in the file tree. 

What is the difference between a Capture and a Recording and how can I capture a part of a track to use as a sample instead of recording it?
