  • can you help me, i am wondeering if i can connect an external mixer and cdj's to use traktor if i would be running traktor pro and not traktor scratch, also if i am running microsoft windows ?

  • ive got the same setup, and was wandering...whats the point in using traktor????? you cant use any effects on traktor unless your using the touch pad on the mac!! all traktor is used for in this instance is for sync (match bpm) and store all your tracks in playlists?? i think its best to leave the laptop out of it and just use mp3 sticks........................­......any comments????

  • @bargainhunter100

    i'm Totally behind you ,This is my Pros : i use cdj 900s djm 800 but what i like about tracktor for now is the beat jump and the speed of scrolling through cues , it saves cues infos on your mp3 (no prob if you move a file ) i also can assign Hot cues , and cdj 900 have a looper instead so i get them both

  • hi can u help me out in connecting on CDJ350 with tractor pro

  • I am so close.

    I have the right hand deck working. I set up an aggregate device, but my audio setup page was slightly different to yours. After setting up the device I was unable to select ch 1&2.

    Back in traktor, in audio routing i can choose 2 both cdj channels which are used for channel a (iguess this is why this deck works) but there are no other selections to choose from for channel b.

    Please help!!!

  • doc d merd !

  • I have the same problem like DJrobitekzz

  • i have a pioneer cdj-350 and djm-350 :/

  • Can i use this with pioneer 350 cdjs and Windows7?

  • I can do this with a Windows 7?

  • @pridders what is the flightcase that you are using?

  • Does the mixer have to work with a certain program i.e TRAKTOR, or does the mixer just do simple stuff like volume and fading of the sound that is coming through it? I hope that makes sense. please answer thank you.

  • Hay great stuff, the video helped me out a lot! Still got a small issue though:

    I use CDJ 400 and DJM 400 with Traktor Pr Scratch.

    I get sound through only one channel in the mixer? what do i do?

  • Hey idk how to connect my digital jockey 2 master edition into traktor :( please help??? thanks a lot

  • if you then connected a pair of cdj 900 or cdj 2000 to your macbook after doing this would it still work. or would you have to re configure everything including the midi setup??

  • Can you do this with serato as well?

  • Great video thnx,

    If i buy Traktor, will i receive all USB cables & documentation on how to install cables with?

    Thnax again

  • @ehsan83 you wont get cables? why would a software company supply you with cables?

  • Hi i need some help. Are you using traktor scratch? I went to a Dj shop and they say I need traktor scratch pro or duo( I think they Are just trying to sell me kit)... I have traktor pro 2. Can I configure any cdjs? They say I can only do cdjs 2000

  • cheers mate im using traktor pro 2 getting my 400s tomorrow. has native instruments through traktor pro 2 recognised this? do u have the same problems with pc as u do with mac?

  • thank you so very much ! all the other tutorials were for PC's ! bloody helpful mate !! cheers bloke you're absolutely mint sir !!

    I love my cdj 400's by the way

  • hello pridders, first i want to thank you very much for your video..it was really helpfull and helped me understand the idea how this works...but i would be also extremely thankfull if you could answer me one question. i use a pc instead of mac...the step that i am getting stack is the program (audio midi setup or something)..where do i find this program..or is it only on mac?in my case anyway what should i do??thank you very much for your time,

    hercules1924

  • @hercules1924 If your running PC like myself you have to download a program called ASIO4All which enables you to access all your sound cards for output. You must select both CDJ 400s and in turn when going to output settings in Traktor you can select the two outputs for the two decks.

  • cand this be done with any pioneer CDJ's? because the problem i have is that i dont want to take my Traktor S4 controller to clubs the whole time whereas its easier just to take my mac with my music. the other question i have is when you have all of this connected up do you have to beat match or can you use the SYNC mode from the traktor pro?

    thanks

  • im thinking about getting a mixer with 2 cd/mp3 decks. whats the difference between scratch and pro? and which should i get? looking at this it makes it seem like i should just get pro

  • Thanks for the great tip, but i have a little problem.

    I'm working with Mac OS 10.6 and i created an aggregate audio device, as you said in the video. When i try to highlight the volumes, i can't. In Traktor is everything configured correctly but instead having 4 out, i have only 2.. what can i do? Thanks

  • i would like to know how to you connect the cables

  • @mayokaaa

    This is pretty basic stuff TBH - If you don't know how to connect cables you may be in the wrong job lol. USB 2.0 from each CDJ to the macbook to act as deck controllers in traktor pro. An RCA from each CDJ to a sperate channel on the DJM 800 - That's it, simple!!

  • @pridders what about a pc computer? is it posible to get usb 2.0 to usb cables?

  • does it work with

    *PLEASE HELP*

    -CDJ 850'S *2 , DJM 800-

    -?what traktor should i get , please help me some one !! :(?-

    thanks !!!

  • hey just wondering if this would all apply and work with a djm 400 instead of the 800..

    the 400 doesn't have XLR outputs is that a problem?

  • Hi i would like to know why im not seeing the faders and knobs moving on the traktor while im touching them from the mixer or cdj??? do u use an interface like audio dj6 or something??

  • Hi there, i own 2 cdj's400 and a djm400. Are you using an interface like audio dj6 or something?? cause i wish to see the faders and knobs on traktor moving while im touching them from the mixer or cdj......

  • I have two cdj 400 and djm 400 and i have laptop with windows 7 ultimate,so some options that you have there i don't have...for example setup wizzard,etc....

    Can you explain me how to setup tractor with my configuration ??? please

  • Comment removed

  • What was the second song u were playing on deck B

  • I love this video! I had problem before agregatin both cdj400 on apple audio configuration. After doing this everything is perfect. Now I'm using just my macbook with traktor, 2 USB cables, 2 cdj-400, the RCA cables and the mixer. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

  • @felipecandido just wondering...do use soundcard as well?

  • @CHeeKaYMuNKaY No, I use my mixer as USB soundcard (I use an Gemini PS-02 USB)

  • @felipecandido - No worries, you're welcome :D

  • i get ''turn encoder'' on my cdj 400s every time i try to connect them with my mac...Please help

  • Hey yo bro..... how you going to configure it when you havent a mac.....???

  • hey man in traktor do you then go to external and select Front 1 L, Front 2 R for deck A and then what eve you named your aggregated device for deck b?? its working for me, just wondering if thats the right way.

  • @865steveo - Sounds right to me Steve

  • thx for the help..!

  • Does that work with Traktor LE ?

  • @MrArthiom - Yup, should do

  • @pridders

    ok,

    but how come the layout of the audio midi is different ?

  • I just spent all my money on this and can't even get it to work.. I've got a cdj 350s so what do I do? I've made all the correct connections as far as wires and all that but it makes no noise o traktor pro and my cdj player doesn't effect whats happening on traktor pro.

    Please help.

  • @IBreatheGrime

    I'd advise you to put your questions onto the Native Instruments Traktor Pro forum

  • @pridders I've already done that, in like every forum possible. I can't find help anywhere. I should have gotten serato, a lot more people use it..

  • How come the audio midi setup lay out is different is later versions of os x like os x 10.6 and further? I only see limited options there?

    Thanks

  • @catjiwe - I'd think that's because just as technology improves with the later OSX versions, the audio midi setup will tweak and change as well - some call it progress lol

  • Works also in snow leopard, just make a new Aggregated Audio Device in audi midi setup and press the plus button at the bottom and configure the 2 cdj400 players in it.

  • @pnielify hey man in traktor do you then go to external and select Front 1 L, Front 2 R for deck A and then what eve you named your aggregated device for deck b?? its working for me, just wondering if thats the right way.

  • Comment removed

  • does it matter what mixer u have cos music is playing from my laptop instead of my mixer and my big speakers?

  • @xxakhitxx

    In this question the answer is 'No' - simply because you are using the internal Traktor Mixer.

  • @pridders ok thanks for that i need a little bit of help if thats okay i am experiencing some problems because i can only play my music from traktor on 1 deck..and i cannot use both let me know thanks pridders

  • so when you use the cdjs, you use the traktor software instead of a physical mixer?

  • @darkmonkey123

    I'm still using the software as virtual decks, however, the internal mixer is disabled in favour of the 'external' mixer option, which I use the DJM800

  • For an idea what it is click this.  *Cant put a link but its on my face book page ill tag you on it mate.

  • @videoblogdiary

    Cheers Gary

  • Hi mate Gary here again. Just to let you know about camstudio its FREE and really good for making videos showing folks how to do stuff on a PC laptop etc. Btter than holding a camera. Download it here camstudio. org/

  • will this work without the traktor hardware?

  • @ryan010780

    I'm not sure I understand your question, without the Traktor 'software' it's quite clearly a normal set of 2 x CDJ's and a Mixer!

  • @pridders

    i only have the traktor cracked copy and dont have the hardware.i have 2x cdj 400s and djm400.i dont know how to configure it in windows 7.

  • how much did the 2 cdj 400 cost?

    it would be thankfull to know :D

  • @ToxikWings

    When I bought the 400's they were around £750/800 from memory - you can pick them up for £550 now New, cheaper 2nd hand of course. The Pioneer CDJ350 has now superceeded the CDJ400 though.

  • @pridders

    so ur telling me the cdj 350 is better... :P

    and that each of the cdj´s 400 cost £750 or that both cost £750?

    :D

  • @ToxikWings

    That cost was per CDJ - so you could pick 2 up for around £1000

    I can't say whether or not the 350 is better than the 400 as I haven't used the 350, however it does come with rekorabox and is also a MIDI controller as well as a CDJ - I would hazard a guess it would be better because technology moves forwards and on ........

  • What wires do I need for CDJ > iMac?

  • @akasamuraicc

    Just a USB - Make sure the CDJ you're using has an internal soundcard though, otherwise it aint gonna work!

  • Si no tengo windows, como puedo hacer lo de configurar una entrada midi para los dos cdj 400...en el video hablas de "booth cdj 400"

    Se puede hacer? es que no me reconoce un cdj

  • Comment removed

  • hey can anyone help me please???I have a gig in 4 hours and im screwed! xD

    i have a djm400 and 2xcdj 400 and i cant connect them even after i watched this video..i use a pc so when he searched for audio midi at 3 minutes, my thing isnt the same... so what can i do? please someone answer fast :S

  • excellent video... So, i have a djm 800 and 2x cdj 1000 with time code cds and an audio 8 sound card.. Can i cue up tracks in my headphones as you would just playing cds? also do you know if there is midi driver software for mapping the djm to traktor so i have full use over the controls on my djm?

    Hope this makes sense , thanks

  • @DJRICH1EC

    you should be able to cue up in your headphones ok.

    There won't be any mapping fr the DJM as it hasn't the abilty to act as a controller - If you want a combined mixer/controller you need to be looking at the Allen & Heath X-Zone 3d or 4D

  • Hello mate, thanks for a great vid.

    I have one Pioneer DJM5000 and a DN-HC4500...

    The djm5000 only have 3 (stereo)(asio) soundcardoutputs and i would realy like to use 4 decks...

    The DN-HC-4500 have 2 (stereo) (asio) soundcardoutputs.

    do you know if i can combine the soundcards just like you did on the CDj400's?

    or does the soundcards have to be the same to be able to combine the soundcards in Audio midi setup?

  • Sorry about all the question but after watching it over again i understand. Thank You so so much!!!!. this is an amazing tutorial i cant thank you enough :)

  • @TheMonkeyMan04

    No Worries, you're welcome

  • do you need the audio 8 dj interface with the 800?

  • @xEugene123x

    Which 800 - DJM800 or CDJ800

    You can't just hook up a DJM800 to control traktor and if your using CDJ800's and timecoded CDs then you would need the Audio 8 as the 800's don't contain a soundcard

  • @pridders Thanks so much for the quick response. I was just wondering if it had a soundcard, because I just sold my Audio 8 dj interface. I'm thinking about getting a korg zero 4 mixer

  • Can you hook up 2 x CDJ200's with Traktor Pro on a Mac?

  • @jacked12321

    No because they are Not MIDI controllers - The only Pioneer CDJs you can use as a MIDI controllers are:

    CDJ 350

    CDJ 400

    CDJ 850

    CDJ 900

    CDJ 2000

  • Can you you plug the djm 400 into the mac and use it to controll the cross fader and EQ etc?

  • @TheMonkeyMan04

    How would you expect to do that? The DJM400 is a 2 channel Mixer, it's not a MIDI controller nor does contain a soundcard. You may be getting confused with the Allen & Heath range such as the XZone 3D/4D etc - They're integrated mixers/controllers

  • @pridders What if i get the audio 4 dj?

  • @TheMonkeyMan04 Or if the mixer is still plugged into the cdj 400 will it still control the EQs and Faders? :)

  • how do you do this using a normal pc laptop??

  • @unitedvibes

    No idea I'm afraid

  • have a macbook pro 10.4 , 2 usb with tracktor duo

    my both cdj's 400 are controling just one side (A) of the software

    the sound comes out in one channel in the mixer when i'm playing with both decks!!

    any solutions Simon thanks :^)

  • @djjnes

    Are you using snow leopard with the mac - if so the midi set-up is different to the set-up in this video?

  • @pridders yes i tried to do the same on'" Tiger" the 10.4 but it doesn't work

  • @djjnes

    @djjnes

    Hey mate, I have a similar problem. just bought traktor pro and a pair of cdj 400s, Am using mac-book pro 10.6.3. Do you know if its compatible with this os version and if so is there any tutorials on how to set it up?

    thx rob

    thx rob

  • can i use the cdj 400 like a midi controler . only one cdj 400

  • @saadxd1

    Yes you can, however, you'll only be controlling one deck within traktor

  • Comment removed

  • can i use the cdj 400 like a midi controler . only one cdj 400

  • Hi great vid, is it possible to map any of the buttons,knobs etc to the FX within Traktor???

  • @oliolioli23

    Yes mate the FX (chained or single) in Traktor are mappable to most MIDI controllers - mine are by defalt mapped to the 3 effexts buttons on the CDJ400

  • anyone find out how to record sets with this setup??

  • Hi, will this also work on a pc labtop with traktor pro????

  • @bigfox06

    Yes should work on a normal pc laptop - the set up will be different, but traktor pro is designed to work with both mac & pc

  • thanks :)

  • hey i have a problem...when i open my midi audio settings, i make the aggrigate device with both cdjs ticked.......but for starters my menu looks nothing like yours. and when im in traktor it only sees output 2 and 3?????? 0 and 1 is non existant :(

  • @DJKizbii - Are you using Snow leopard?

  • @pridders

    nope but i have fixed it now

    i had to go into the midi options in traktor and change the midi port of the second cdj (cause they were both on the same port) and then i just had to copy the midi map to the other cdj :)

  • Thanks alot man for the info , but i cant find a way to record !

    im just using the cdj's 400 and the djm 400 connected straight to my laptop and im also using the asio4all driver . can u please tell me how i can record my mixes ?

  • @yakke91 Without knowing what DJ Software you're using I can't say - Have you watched my video 'Recording In Traktor Pro" -

  • @pridders im using traktor pro , could the fact that im not using an audio interface have something to do with my problem ?

  • @yakke91

    shouldn't be at all - Have you selected the 'internal mixer' from the traktor menu?

  • I'm running a pair of cdj1000 MK3, and I can't seem to get it to recognize it, am i doing something wrong??? HELP please...

  • @lengrsx

    Yes mate - quite simply if you're trying to run the 1000's as MIDI controllers with Traktor Pro it's never gonna happen because the 1000's are not MIDI controllers. In order to use them you'll have to be using Traktor Scratch Pro and using Timecoded CDs

  • @pridders He'd have to use an external sound card wouldn't he?

  • @andii194

    Yes that's right mate - something like an audio 8

  • @pridders yeah yeah, you seem to have a gear head :P i am getting my first piece of hardware and thought i would give that vestax spin a whack, what's your opinion?

  • @andii194

    Vestax Spin is a really good solid controller to start with first out, especially if you're using the apple DJAY program - absolutely perfect for entry level mate

  • @pridders ok thanks alot for the help mat :) i only asked because i have heard of some DJs slagging it off and that

  • ok thanks. I've been insisting I use my midi controller in clubs cos I didn't know how to set it up lol. maybe next time I'll try using their cdj's

  • did u need to download mapping files to allow the cdj's buttons to be mapped to the functions on traktor? or does it do it automatically when u select 'cdj400' in the initial setup of traktor?

  • @ravingdave900

    You need to ensure the firmware is up to date on the 400's - but apart from that No - The 400's are auromatically mapped either in MIDI or HID (depending on what version of traktor you are using)

  • Can you use the effects that are built in to the CDJ while djing with traktor or can you only use the traktor effects?

  • @MSTRNLKR

    No you can't use the preloaded Pioneer effects on the CDJ - But you can chain three Traktor effects together and map those to the CDJ effects buttons - which gives you a much wider selection

  • check out my cool way of mixing house using an ipod touch and a dj mixer...its pretty tight..

  • i have a macbook with leopard i try following your intruction and i will get sound throught each channel but no midi at all i think from reading a post here is because of the version... im also trying to get the to work with virtual dj on the mac and i get them to work perfectly everything work except it trhoughs all the music through one chanelll..... any help there/????

  • Do you need to have the traktor compete package such as audio interface, or is it just software you need

  • how do you do this on windows?

  • Hey pridders,

    i sent you a personal message referring to this video, if you could get a chance to look that would be great

  • it says that its different for snow leopard, do you know how? i can get both decks to play independently but one plays left speaker one right speaker. this is because i missed the step which is different on snow leopard any help would be appreciated

  • Thanks for the vid! There's a lot of ossibilities now !

  • men!! this is amazing, for PC works??

    cheers!

  • great dude, thanx i didnt know that was posible

  • Just a quick question : does that mean you can hook up 2 different soundcards ( any 2 ) to traktor???? please answer.

  • @DjChriss509 Yes mate no reason why not

  • Thanks very much mate.

    Using CDJ 900s with DJM 800 and Traktor now! Just found a torrent for 1.2.4 yesterday!

  • Thank you!!!

    Júlio Santos

    São Paulo - Brasil

  • I have the same set up you have but with a macbook.I have followed you instructions. Sound comes through both faders on the DJM 800 however the cdj 400's don't control the the music as midi conrtollers. Nothing happens. CAN SOMEONE HELP. Im using Traktor Pro 1.2.

  • You've answered yur own question mate - if you look at previous questions it would have saved you the post lol - you're using Traktor pro 1.2 - there is no MIDI support like in my video anymore (the video is version 1.1.2). Traktor 1.2 and above is now HID support for the CDJ400's and it's crap, hence I still use 1.1.2

  • quick question: so you don't need any audio interface when using the cdj: s with the 800 mixer as midi controllers? but if I would like to use timecontrol in traktor I need the audio 4/audio 8 dj interface connected to the mixer?

  • @pridders

    When do I need the audio 4/8 dj audio interface connected to my djm 800? if I would like to use timecontrol?

  • i use Windows XP and i have T pro 1.1.2

    i have all connected and i have ASIO on. i can direct the sound via mixer ! but the CD players DO not respont at ALL!!

    i have them on output but do i have to do something in the windows ?

    problem is None of the payers seem to be responding to the players.

    players are v.133

    PLEASE HELP

  • i ment they are not responding to the software... i also have DJS pioneer software... and there they work great but not in Traktor

  • I'd try on the NI website (traktor forums), I don't know how to resolve Windows problems I'm afraid.

  • Ok so i solved the problem really easily. i started Traktor forst than pressed PC mode and that is not how it works. remember to first press PC mode people than open traktor.

    BUT now i have other Problem. My Players Only control A channel ... and none are controlling B channel so how do i configure them to do that ?

    ill take some tiime and try to do that myself but apriciate if somebody has a solution

  • Thanks Buddy.

    John

  • hello , what flight case is that (make / model ... website ??? ) cheers get back to me

  • PM sent - it won't let me post the link for somw reason

  • You've got my dream set-up my friend :) Great video

  • Hey simon, got a question. Im planning to get cdj 400's and I was wondering... i have traktor pro, macbook pro and the kontrol X1. Now I know im going to need more than 2 USB hubs.  So my question is, can I still have both the cdj 400 and the kontrol x1 to use?... I will need a powered USB hub as well right?... thanks.

  • First of all, yes you would need a USB hub, but secondly I can't understand why you would need to use both CDJ's AND the X1 together in the same configuration???????

  • The X1 will be used for browsing, effects, and of course other uses. The X1 was designed to be used with either TT's or cdj's so you can control Traktor without going to your laptop to do things... what im saying is that i can still use the X1 with the cdj 400 with the issue being the USB hubs, cause the mac only has 2...
