[SOLVED] Recording on the XDJ-R1

Connect it to an external "recording-device"...

(computer, tape-recorder, phone, line-input on an XDJ-Aero...)

Pioneer, when you create a new product, add features, don't remove them. The list of compromises one must take in to account when choosing between the Aero or R1 is remarkable.

Taking this further, why didn't you just make one unit that can play CD's then a slimmer version that cannot? Seriously, why didn't you?

Creating remarkably similar products with no compatibility is just crazy.

In fact i was very excited abou this controller for my students ... Bu lacking The record on unit feeature make me a no go for this .. Will keep my set up for my students

Ddj t1
Djm 350 2 cdjs 350 lovin djm350 can record on the fly

And djm900 nexusnand two cdj 2000

I've been looking at the block diagram on page 37 in the users manual and I can see that there is a recording path from the master out via usb.  You can record your set to a computer so what's wrong with doing it that way?

Since the path is there the unit might someday in the future, with a firmware update, be able to record sets to a usb stick connected to it.

So if it has a usb port does can be plug to a computer ? Open audacity and record? ( the way i do on the 900 nexus)

Gavin?

Thank you

The USB is to connect with VDJ, I don't know about direct to USB device as you can with the AERO.

I don't know if you need to switch to pc mode to record on the r1, but by my observations with every other manufacturer, is that if you connect a usb cable to the back of the unit to your computer it should be able to pull the audio going to the master out to the software of your choice.  

If you look at the block diagram on page 37 in the user manual on the top right you will see the master out, follow it back to the master level then follow it back to the dot and you should see an arrow pointing down to pc master out.  This is where the audio is pulled to the unit's soundcard and sent to your computer via usb. 

Hope this helps
