Recording set with DJM and CDJ's

Assuming that your using your laptop only as USB storage device and not your 2000nxs in HID mode with rekordbox DJ. The most simplest way to record a set is:

1. connect your DJM via USB to your laptop

2. go to system preferences > audio > input and make the DJM-900nxs as your default input device. If it's not on the list, then you may need to install the drivers for your DJM.

3. open Quicktime > file > New Audio Recording

4. adjust the channel trim levels on the DJM that the 2000nxs are connect too.

That's pretty much it for basic audio recording.

Forgot to mention, press record when you ready to record and then press it again when your done. You will have to save the file before you close Quicktime to keep your recording.

ah ok thank you for the tips!

Would you also know if (and how) i can use Rekordbox's native 'REC' button for this?

thanks!

I don't know if rekordbox in export mode has recording functionality.

In performance mode the "REC" option is at the top of the app. Just press that, then the record function and settings will appear at the center of the app.

I have my CDJs and DJM connected via LAN.
I have one USB cable from my mixer into my Mac - when plugged in the DJM setting utility automatically pops up and is configured to the Master Out of the DJM.

You can record from Link, CD, USB, etc in Export mode.
This is how I do it now - much easier and better than using a line in cable and Audacity.

Hi and thanks for this feedback. I had to dj yesterday so took the occasion to try and connect the DJM to my computer through USB cable. I installed the driver upfront, and the connection with the DJM succeeded because I could access it in my audio settings. Nevertheless, in the 'REC' panel of Rekordbox, i could only select input sources 'channel 1', 'channel 2' ... up to 4. There was no 'Record out' in the dropdown, and as i selected any of these four channels, nothing happened (no actual incoming signal). I took a screenshot, maybe somebody knows what steps i'm missing?

Does your DJM setting utility look like this;

Where USB9/10 is your MIX(REC OUT)?

Then it should show in rekordbox drop down menu as Master Out;

No it was looking differently, I don't remember the value for USB 9/10, but will check that again next time. The first four lines (USB 1 to 8) were not greyed out neither. They were filled with channel 1 to 4 'post fader' or so.

The problem is that I don't have my own DJM at home, so I can only test this in the weekend when I go dj. So I will keep you informed on the progress next week ;-p

Thanks for this tip!

just to make sure: the USB9/10 is the one at the top left of the mixer? Next to where I can plug a USB stick?

Yes, correct.

I have the NXS2 so have mine in USB[B] but it's the same difference.

The one USB cable is so much simpler and easier.

I used to have 1 twin RCA cable from my Mac to my mixer for output sounds (such as system sounds, iTunes music, website sounds, etc) and another twin RCA cable from my mixer to my Mac for recording (with Audacity).
I don't need these anymore now I have one USB cable :)
