REX2 Audio Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is ReCycle.

How to open RX2 file?

The most common problem when using REX2 Audio Format is that a specific RX2 is not associated with the program. This causes the file RX2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RX2 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install ReCycle

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ReCycle is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ReCycle in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RX2 with ReCycle. Below is a list of programs that support the file RX2.

Step 2. Create association of ReCycle with RX2 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RX2 file to open in the ReCycle application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RX2 file with the ReCycle application.

Step 3. Update ReCycle to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ReCycle program, it is possible that REX2 Audio Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Propellerhead Software AB page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RX2 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The RX2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RX2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RX2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RX2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RX2 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RX2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Propellerhead Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RX2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RX2 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RX2 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RX2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
