@Chris > Are you trying to use rekordbox in Performance mode or Export mode (to link to your library)?

Ok, thanks - did you update the firmware, and did you install the USB LINK CONNECTION software?
Comment actions
yes to firmware 1.11 and did the USB link nothing shows as a problem the information is not either being sent from the mac or read by the rx2

Okay, so the USB link is to connect the XDJ-RX2 to rekordbox in EXPORT mode; you may also need to disable your firewall. You press the rekordbox button on the RX2 to enter that mode.
To get HID control, you press the MIDI button and then connect each deck by pressing the LOAD buttons.

Glad to hear that was it! You can actually configure the firewall to allow it through - follow the instructions here, a bit of an outdated video, but still applicable.
