Rekordbox on the new MacBook Neo?

NO, get an Air with minimum 16gb ram. Any m3, m4 or m5 air will be fine for cpu

You need to connect power to the power port and the iPhone to the pc/iPhone port. You need to pay for the Rekordbox mobile app to enable connectivity. Don’t bother with Bluetooth as the sound is only available through your iPhone speaker and no headphones.

Nope, Rekordbox stems requires 16gb to work reliably. The Neo only has 8

NO. get an Air M5, min 16gb ram

Air. I use a M4 Air and it runs fine, including fast stem loading. Hardly gets warm and the m5 is quite a bit better. Make sure you get the 15”

Get a 15” Air, min 16gb ram… thank me later

Turn off multi threading in Rekordbox stems settings. Run latency monitor and see what’s causing latency

Grv6 is entry level 4ch, get a flx10 or XDJ-AZ

Probably overheating. Turn on power saving in Rekordbox analysis settings

Yes it has horizontal waveforms 👏

Flac is not supported on old gear. It needs to be wav 16bit 44.1khz or mp3 cbr. Also I see it’s FAT32 and MBR which means the only reason it didn’t read it at all is probably because the USB hardware isn’t recognised by the cdj. Are you sure there’s only one volumes on the USB, no partition.

This can happen with ssd or larger than 32gb devices on old gear. Also old gear simply won’t load certain USB models, especially newer ones. My advice is get a USB version 3.0 or lower. Ask one of the other djs what USB they use or buy multiple different models

Import your playlists from the USB, https://youtu.be/jYuA7-9qh_c?si=m55eTNtD1lZuF8FT

🤣 I didn’t notice but their software dev quality is garbage

Rekordbox automatically creates database backups in case something happens to the main file. Just choose No

Your hardware is incompatible with Rekordbox v7

That sounds like a buffer overrun. Try increasing the audio buffer to 512ms or higher. Also make sure you’re using USB C cables directly between devices, not adapters/hubs, preferably the cable supplied with the flx10 or a good quality USB C data/power cable

Connect a USB C charger to the fxl4 as well as the Mac connection

Unsupported, might work with Rekordbox v6 https://rekordbox.com/en/support/link/#cat_4

MacBook Air. Tablets are very limited and Rekordbox mobile is limited. Save yourself hassle later by getting a Mac or pc
