Troubleshooting

• Nothing happens when I connect rekordbox for iOS (ver. 3) to the USB terminal of a CDJ/XDJ.

  In rekordbox for iOS (ver. 3), the process for making a wired connection has changed from the previous method of connecting from a USB Type-A terminal to a USB Type-B terminal.

  Traditional connection methods limit file transfer speed, and file formats such as WAV/AIFF and FLAC/ALAC can’t be used.
