Anyone know why I have two copies of my playlists in the new Rekordbox… It’s getting a bit confusing : /
Question.
I’m playing a gig in the South of France in a gew weks and ive just been told that the venue uses a Pioneer FLX10, which I can work my way around, but the laptop that will be ‘feeding it’ is a Macbook.
Will my Windows Rekordbox USB work plugged straight into the Mac, or will I need to do anything to it?
Thanks
Assuming your USB stick is NTFS formatted, it should be readable on a Mac (but you won’t be able to write to it). If Rekordbox needs to write stuff back to the drive when you use it, and you are in a position to copy the contents off, then wipe/format it as FAT32 you would be able read and write to it on a Mac, but there are limits on max file size (4GB, I think, so should be OK unless you have some absolutely massive WAVs). If you have spares, might be worth taking a couple of USB sticks, one NTFS and one FAT32?

It’s just so the tracks can load onto the two virtual decks on the Mac.
From very limited technical knowledge, i don’t think my Windows RB detects a USB unless its FAT32?
If it’s FAT32 already (check in Windows Explorer, select the USB drive, right click, properties) then you should be fine. Macs can read from FAT32 drives. If you know anyone with a Mac, you could always try it to be sure!
One other point is whether your stick is USB2 or USB3, as not all Macs are going to have USB2 ports - I think someone else raised this on a thread a while back.
