XDJ-R1: How to record a DJ-set in Rekordbox using USB Mode?

I'm using a XDJ-R1 and I am very satisfied of the device but I encounter some problems with Rekordbox ( using it in Trial Version )

I have tried in both mode Performance and Export and it seems to be possible in Export mode but I can't get a Wifi connection?

- Is it possible in Performance Mode? If yes, what are the setup?

- Is it possible in Export Mode? If yes, what are the setup? How to connect the device with Wifi? (I follow the user manual and it still doesn't work)

- How to do the MIDI mapping to control RekordBox and the collection with the XDJ-R1and than get the possibility to record a DJ-set in MIDI mode? (but I would preferably doing it in USB Mode).

Last question: No possibility to see the history in USB Mode?

Thanks a lot for your help!

When you're using the R1 with rekordbox (in performance mode), the unit is in MIDI mode while connected by USB to your computer.

There is no mapping required, it's pre-configured for use with rekordbox.

The XDJ-R1 is not able to connect to the ProDJ Link network the same way other devices can. Export mode is only used to prepare and export songs to a USB device for use directly in the R1. The WiFi is for connecting the Remotebox app to control the R1 and navigate tracks from a connected USB device.

Unfortunately no, there is no play history on the R1 itself, nor through the Remotebox app. One downside to the unit.

Sorry ... forgot to add; to record a set, as long as your R1 is configured as the audio device for playback, you'll be able to record. Simply open the recording panel and away you go.

Thanks for your clarification, not all that I was expecting but it'l like that.

About the recording possibility: ok, it works but only in MIDI mode, choosing tracks in rekordbox.

But when I select the USB Mode on the XDJ-R1 and play my tracks, there is no signal in Rekordbox? So, it's impossible to record a set in USB Mode, am I correct?? (if not, could you please share the setting and configuration)

Thanks
