My XDJ-700s won't sync with Rekordbox on my laptop via USB cables
Hi everyone. I have just made up a custom DJ deck with 2 x xdj-700s and a Reloop RMX 60 mixer.
For some reason the players won't sync properly to my Rekorbox 6 on my laptop. I have the 2 players connected by USB straight into my laptop. No ethernet is plugged in. It has windows 10 and is an Asus laptop. I have installed the CDJ/XDJ ASIO driver.
If I switch to performance mode in Rekordbox and then on either player press LINK to sync them to the laptop it says USB- Midi on the player screen and I press to enter that. It now shows up and says pc on the bottom of the player however it is still not synced to Rekordbox on the laptop and nothing else comes up on the player screen. Won't select any tracks or designate a player number option when I turn the dial.
The laptop seems to be identifying the players however just won't connect to them correctly. I have selected the ASIO driver in Rekordbox and the output players as 1 and 2 in preferences. Have watched every tutorial and info i could find but as yet no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like you've done a lot of the right things to set up your XDJ-700s with Rekordbox, but there's a glitch in getting everything to sync properly. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Ensure Firmware is Updated:
- Make sure that the firmware on both of your XDJ-700s is up to date. Sometimes, outdated firmware can cause connectivity issues with Rekordbox.
2. Check USB Cable Quality:
- Ensure that the USB cables you're using are of good quality and functioning properly. Try swapping out the cables if you have spares, just to rule out a faulty cable.
3. Use Rekordbox in Export Mode First:
- Since you're using USB and not Ethernet, try starting in Rekordbox's Export Mode (instead of Performance Mode). See if the players recognize the connection in this mode. This might help narrow down whether the issue is specific to Performance Mode.
4. Driver Reinstallation:
- Even though you've installed the CDJ/XDJ ASIO driver, it's worth uninstalling and then reinstalling it. Sometimes, drivers can get corrupted or might not install correctly on the first attempt.
5. Check MIDI Settings:
- On your XDJ-700s, make sure the MIDI settings are correctly configured. Go into the utility settings on the XDJ-700s and check the MIDI channels and options. Ensure they are set to communicate properly with Rekordbox.
6. Try Different USB Ports:
- If possible, try connecting the XDJ-700s to different USB ports on your laptop. Some ports might not supply enough power or might have connectivity issues, especially on laptops.
7. Rekordbox Preferences:
- Double-check the preferences in Rekordbox. Ensure that the correct audio device is selected, and the input/output channels are assigned correctly to each player. Under "Preferences > Audio," make sure the XDJ-700s are set as the primary audio device, and the ASIO driver is selected.
8. Firewall and Security Software:
- Sometimes, security software or firewall settings can block USB communication. Ensure that Rekordbox and the XDJ ASIO driver are allowed through your firewall.
9. Test on Another Laptop/PC:
- If possible, test the setup on another computer. This can help determine whether the issue is with your laptop or with the players themselves.
10. Contact Pioneer Support:
- If none of the above solutions work, you might want to reach out to Pioneer’s support. They may have additional steps or software updates that could help resolve the issue.
These steps should help you get your XDJ-700s properly synced with Rekordbox on your laptop. If the problem persists, it might indicate a more specific hardware or software conflict that Pioneer support can assist with.
