REKORDBOX DJ IN PERFORMANCE MODE ... HOW HE DOES IT?

You can control 2 units of CDJ-2000NXS2 via PRO DJ LINK with a DJM-900NXS2 connected to a computer using a USB cable when using PERFORMANCE MODE of rekordbox.

Refer to the below guide page 8-10.

I have my 4 x CDJ2000nxs & DJM900nxs set up via USB but it does not show the wave forms on the screens. Does this only work with the nxs2 models? Or can it be done on the original nxs ones as well?

Unfortunately this function seems to be supported only with NXS2 models according to the guide.

Hi Tom ,

Thank you for your respond, but after checking the link and pages that you suggested, that is just related on the DJM Mixer..... what I'm trying to accomplish is the wave forms to show in my CDJ's like the he is showing in the video.... How he connect his CDJ"s?

Have you update your NXS2's firmware to the latest one?

In addition, you need to install a AGGREGATOR tool on your computer following the install guide.

Ok Tom ... Now we talking.... After reading the updates details look likes after updating will do the trick... So after update I'll be connecting the CDJ's and DJM via USB? right?...... If so, Do you think I can use a hub? because I have only 2 USB outputs in my Mac and that could be a problem if I need to connect the DMJ as well. Advise Please!!! And Thank you for the Help.

You can choice between two types of connection, TYPE1 or TYPE2.

TYPE1:

If your Mac has only 2 USB ports, you can use a USB hab for connecting your DJM.

TYPE2:

If you have a LAN hab and 3 LAN cables, you can connect your DJM to only one USB port.

Don't forget to install a audio driver for DJM-900NXS2 on your Mac.

Tom, I like the TYPE 2 choice, is the one that I have been using and if I'm correct is the second picture on page 7 from the guide you link me earlier...the only difference is that I have DIgital Audio Cables connected from CDJ's to DJM as well and in this picture audio cables are not needed, right?

Yes, it's right. Audio cable is only connected from DJM to the speaker systems.

Thanks Again Tom... I'll be changing and updating this weekend (not at home for another day) just a couple more questions.. With this new setup I assume the channel selectors on the DJM will switch to USB ? Correct? ..... And the second question is if I'll be able to use the preview LINK CUE feature? You know, the CUE bottom by the Microphone area in the DJM...... Thanks again

1st question: Correct. switch the channel selectors to USB "A" or "B".

2nd question: Off course, you can use it.

Once Again, Thank you for all the help and I'll write results in a couple of days

Hi Tom,
So ... As mentioned I did like connection TYPE 2 ... Tried and didn't work.... And the resin why is because as soon the USB from the CDJ gets disconnected the Aggregator despaired and performance mode won't recognize the CDJ..... TYPE 2 , Does the trick, works great (have to re-run Aggregator though) but the feature of previewing with LINK CUE won't work...... Any advise.... How are you connected? 1 or 2?

Ok Never Mind .... I did something wrong when connecting TYPE 2 , and now works fine LAN CABLES only 1 USB port in use...... But !!!!! the Previewing CUE still don't work. Also the Platters rims lights don't change from WHITE to RED when the Deck is live.

Hi Martin,

Sorry for the late reply.

Please refer to the CDJ-2000NXS2 manual page 37.

Hi Tom
Well, I have not set anything with the CDJ's because they were working just fine beside just the red light not coming on when decks are live.. But my thing is with the DJM and the driver not able to install.
Question... This USB-MIDI mode will work with the connection TYPE 2 (LAN & HUB) ?

The USB-MIDI mode works with the connection both TYPE 1 and TYPE 2.

You can not install the driver of DJM?

Hi Tom,

Nope , I can't install Drivers.. I made a little video explaining what is going on, check it out and please let me know what I should do.
