Need equipment set up / Rekordbox config help Please (CDJ-2000NXS2 / DDJ-RR / DJM-750MK2 / DVS)
I'm in the process of getting / setting up some new gear and apparently need help, because I can't get what I envisioned to work.
The goal: To be able to to run everything into the DJM-750MK2 mixer and control Rekordbox with the turntable, the cdj, and the controller using all 4 channels of the mixer.
The Ask: How would you set up this gear and configure settings in Rekordbox to make best use of this??
Equip list:
-
(1) CDJ-2000NXS2
-
DJM-750MK2
-
DDJ-RR Controller
-
Technics 1200
-
MacBook Catalina 10.15.3
-
Rekordbox 5.8.4 License that came with my DDJ-RR; Rekordbox DVS License that came with my DJM-750MK2
Current Configuration:
- USB out of 750MK2 into USB HUB into laptop
- USB out of CDJ into same USB HUB into laptop above
- USB out of DDJ-RR into laptop
- Turntable RCA into Channel (tried both Line In and Phone In)
- Using DDJ-750MK2 Driver

I know it’s kind of a wonky setup attempting to incorporate the controller as a source, but it’s what I have to work with right now until the other CDJ arrives, and seems like it should be able to do what I want.
I tried all kinds of configurations and it’s just not intuitive to me. Maybe I need different drivers? Maybe I need different settings?
Main problems:
- I can’t get the DVS to work at all using timecode vinyl.*
- I can’t the get CDJ to operate in Rekordbox mode (not even sure what’s supposed to happen there)
- I can get the CDJ to control Rekordbox deck 3 using Link mode, but can’t get it to output sound to master without switching the DDJ-RR input to Deck 3 (which defeats the purpose)
The best I can do is get the DDJ-RR to control Rekordbox, feeding into the mixer on two channels, then I can use the cdj (using USBs) as a 3rd deck, but I lose the ability to see parallel waveforms on screen in rekordbox.
Does it matter which Rekordbox license I’m using (meaning DDJ-RR vs DJM750O)??
*Note: part of this problem could be that I don’t have Rekordbox branded timecode vinyl. I was trying with Traktor MK2 vinyl that I had when I used to use that setup. When I was able to get sound out of it it sounded like it was a 33 playing on 45 (it wasn’t). Nothing I did got it playing at correct speed.
