How do I create a WAV for Rekordbox?

I've been doing edits of songs in Ableton and have tried to export them as WAVs to play on CDJ2000s and on Rekordbox but they don't play on the CDJs and on Rekordbox when I go to import them nothing imports.

Is there a way to export WAVs from Ableton, or even Audacity, that will play on CDJ2000s + Rekordbox?

Well i Just tested quick in Audacity and no issue, Dropped in a track, File/Export/WAV 16Bit, saved to desktop and dragged into RB with no issues so at least Audacity works. I dont have Ableton to test, sorry

I have no problem rendering WAV or AIFF from Ableton Live and importing them into Rekordbox, and they play fine on the CDJ.

Sam Alderson

For some reason mine doesn't work, so could anyone please post a screenshot of their WAV export settings on Ableton or even just tell me what there export settings are because mine must be different or something because they certainly don't work in Rekordbox or CDJs.

Hmm. When I import a regular MP3 to Audacity and export it as a WAV it works in Rekordbox.

But

When I import one of my WAVs made in Ableton into Audacity and export as WAV it doesn't work in Rekordbox.

I use the following settings in Ableton to Export Audio:

 

AIFF

Convert to Mono = OFF

Sample Rate = 44.1k

Bit Depth = 16

No Dither

Analysis = OFF

SoundCloud = OFF
