wait. You mean I don't need my Serato box when I'm using my cdj400's?

[RudeDog66]

@jmjohnso45 No, it is natively supported so no timecodes or box is needed!

@RudeDog66 You are wrong, if you want to use Serato Scratch Live with the CDJ-400/850/900/2000 you will still need the Serato box but you will not need the time code disc. It doesn't control Serato via midi but though HID which is something that Pioneer created. You will still need the Serato box to make Serato active and to transfer the audio to your mixer.

@MikeyBreaks We were not talking about Serato Scratch Live, this video is about Virtual DJ. Some people still don't understand that CDJ-400/350/900/2000s don't need a sound card with VDJ because these CDJs have their own sound card built in. However I did a video about using these CDJs with Serato Scratch Live and in the video I explain that you must have a Serato box like my SL3. That video is here on my channel if you look through my list of videos.

my tl850 has no usb hub so i can't connect it to virtual dj? :(

[RudeDog66]

@ringdingdol Then you will need a Virtual Vinyl or Serato box with timecode CDs for it to work.

hej dj rude so ill need a cdj 350 400 850 900 2000( the once with usbs) to use my cdjs as midi controllers? so if i lets say have a cdj 1000mk3 with no usb ill need a time coded cd? and plug my laptop in with acr too the mixer?

[vjwiz]

hey Rude... Digital Wiz here

have a macbook pro

2 Pioneer CDJ850 -

just watched your video realize the cdjs carry soundcards..

connected everything like you said

however a small problem... virtualdj seems to read be reading the same sound card.. not seeing any difference or number in the different options for 2 soundcard (Pioneer 850) shown for both no difference so i assume it is the same.. sound comes only from on channel too... any ideas how i can get both soundcards to be picked up?

[onetallguy72]

@RudeDog66 Very good introduction but I have a question. I have virtual dj on my laptop and a numark 2 channel mixer along with 2 numark axis cdjs but have a stereo receiver and some technics regualr speaker wire type speakers for now. Can any of this be used/setup? I will be getting powered amp speakers soon but just wanted to know if any of that could be used just messing around at home? BigbQ45@yahoo. Thanks again

[HitchHikersBlues]

@RudeDog66 I also will be using a seperate amp and loudspeakers.

Thanks.

[HitchHikersBlues]

@ RudeDog66 Dude your video is pretty cool.

Help me here...

I have 2 NDX800's,

4channel analogue mixer,

new Sony Vaio laptop with 4 usb ports.

2 usb cables, that came with the ndx800s.

So what else do i need to use Virtual dj 7 pro ?

Thanks.

[SuperErin21]

We have connected cdj 400 with Vdj but it has nothing to do with computer sound card right? The sound that goes out to the mixer uses Cdj soundcard am I right?

[HLiAZ17]

Can cdj-800 work with traktor scratch pro ?

[MrShaman360]

what is the track playing in start ?

Sorry for my english

[maximslagmulder]

hallo, do you need a hub or not ?
