I'm running a MacBook Air with traktor 2.6. I am using a USB hub which connects one CDJ and a control X1. On the other USB it's straight into the CDJ. The club has CDJ 2000 with a DJM 900 mixer. How do I go in mid set and start playing when the first DJ is using a CD or is using traktor same way as me. Also how does the DJ after me go in if he's using CDs or traktor ?

I tried that before and was able to select a song on a CD. But when I played it, both the CD played and traktor played as well. The audio was from the cd. But the thing is, traktor was still linked. So when I pulled the USB cord it made a noise, which was a big no no.
I have the same problem. But with CDJ 350s. I'm on HID mode with Traktor. When the upcoming DJ tries to switch to CD mode on one of the CDJ, my Traktor froze. I tried disconnecting the CDJ inside Traktor through the output routing in Preferences, but got the same result. How else can two DJs transition seamlessly from Traktor HID to other media, vice versa?
@Arjay > Have you reported this to Native Instruments?
Yup. They advised me to use a DVS instead, as it is more reliable than hooking up on HID with CDJ models lower than 900. This is, in my experience, true. I haven't experienced this on 900s and 2000s. Going back on my question above, how else can two DJs switch seamlessly from Traktor HID to other media, vice versa?
I think the confusion lies in what you're trying to do with the player...
As I understand it, you're using the CDJ to control Traktor AND act as the audio interface, but then want to switch to a CD/USB source on the CDJ -- is this a correct assumption?
If that's the case, you aren't able to switch between those modes as the audio output from the CDJ is not capable of combining sources (PC + internal), thus it would have to drop the PC source to switch over.
