I am trying to connect DJM-900NXS and 2x CDJ-3000 with a windows laptop via USB cables, there are three cables connected to mixer and both decks. On the decs I am stuck at the USB midi screen, what should I do next? It shows both CDJs and DJM under Audio Preferences, though DJM is under ASIO. All drivers should be installed.
I followed this tutorial: https://youtu.be/_XbljlypxEw?si=eq2FzKV_YT6V9NVZ
But when I turn the browse knob nothing happens, I cannot select which deck the physical deck should correspond to it just does nothing, so I can't see the tracks from the decks, it just remains at "USB midi".
I can access performance mode on rekordbox because I do have the controller as well, but I do not have a paid plan, could that affect it?

Your CDJs stay stuck at “USB MIDI” because rekordbox requires a paid Core/Creative plan or a hardware‑unlock mixer to enable HID control. The DJM‑900NXS doesn’t unlock rekordbox, so without a subscription the EZPassNC browse knob won’t work and tracks won’t show. To fix this, either use USB sticks in Export mode or upgrade to a paid plan for full HID functionality.
If the CDJ remains stuck on the “USB MIDI” screen, you may need to switch the CDJ to Control Mode and assign the deck (1/2) directly in rekordbox. Also, the lack of a paid plan can sometimes affect the use of the CDJ in Performance Mode, so you might want to check your license or try connecting via Pro DJ Link/LAN instead of just space waves.
It sounds like your CDJs are getting stuck in USB MIDI mode because the laptop connection is not being assigned correctly inside rekordbox/driver setup.
A few things to check:
The free plan itself shouldn’t block basic MIDI use, but device assignment and licensing setup can affect performance features.
On a different note, in logistics and transport workflows, digital tracking systems like E-way Bill are also used to manage structured movement of goods efficiently and reduce manual errors.
Hope this helps you get the setup working properly.
