I had to make sure I plugged the cdjs in the order I wanted to use them - deck 1 first then the others because the CDJ outputs available in traktor seem to be numbered from this order, definitely not from what deck you select on the CDJs. This can be a little confusing.
I'm not sure which firmware the 900's have, is this a major issue?
Do you believe I should just use a x1 and an audio 8 with house mixer to avoid hassle?
If you want to feel more comfortable at first, you can also use CDJs in HID AND your Audio8 provided you have enough usb ports. That way, you're already used to setting up and plugging in the A8 and then you don't really have to care about the order in which you plug in the CDJS - just assign the cd decks and off you go. If it doesn't behave too well, you can always plug in the X1 as well. Takes more time to set up, but it can be a good transition should you not trust it at first. As I said : I once had timecode issues halfway through a set with turntable #2. I just got an extra usb cable from my bag, plugged it into one of the 2000s, and a few button presses later (press link, click the browsing knob to engage HID, turn and click the browsing knob to select deck B, if memory serves right) I had it take over my annoying deck. Most of the time this took was spent doing the cabling because my audio8 was already in use and I just kept using that instead of picking the CDJ interface in traktor. |

All I know is I was closing Traktor and a friend of mine was messing with the CDJ ... I will try to check this out further |

Hanna Ridenbaugh 14.10.2012 | thanks, Well got there and one of the dj's had setup Digital Vinyl System with traktor. He's One of the most dj at the top in Brighton. But did not know anything about HID in Traktor. I could'nt be bothered by then to try it out. Real shame. I just ended up pluging his adio * into my laptop and ended just using a kontrol x1 as I could calibrate for some reason. Anyway He went back on later, supposedly his last gig and time to shine. Well it all went pear shaped for him. I believe he was'nt switching master decks or something. Anyway I was happy with my set and my mates agreed I played the best one. If i get a chance I will try out HID for cdj's. Kinda want to spend some money and pick up a pair of cdj's that have the HID ability. Thanks for your help again, I have learn't alot without eating the cake in the end |
Delila Vandommelen 14.10.2012 | You're welcome, let us know how it went |
Hanna Ridenbaugh 13.10.2012 | You sir are a gentlemen! thankyou, I'll use the audio 8 as gonna record toevening s gig in traktor and use the cdj900s in HID. Thankyou again |

Hanna Ridenbaugh 12.10.2012 | Anyone? |
Hanna Ridenbaugh 12.10.2012 | Hi people, few questions please. I've got a chance to use 900's this weekend at a gig. I would like to use them in hid mode. First change over dj ,if a dj is playing with audio cd or frm memory stick before me can I just select one deck to change over to traktor to mix into his trak and once done just select the other deck to change over? 2nd is it as easy to setup as the tutorials suggest? I'm not sure which firmware the 900's have, is this a major issue? Do you believe I should just use a x1 and an audio 8 with house mixer to avoid hassle? Cheers in advance |
Delila Vandommelen 17.09.2012 | A little necroposting... just to confirm if that wasn't obvious enough already that mixing vinyl timcoded decks and cdj 2000 advanced hid using the NI interface works just as well too. Had to plug into one of the 2000s in a pinch as the TT on my side of the back2back was suffering from the rumble to the point of being unreliable - an M5G of all decks, too... |
Ming Devis 04.09.2012 | Haha wow forgot how old Pentium 4 was! |

Hyman Werness 03.09.2012 | Yeah it's def your processor.. Probably the RAM as well. |
Arla Seniw 02.09.2012 | Think it might be the computer. The specs seem a little on the low side. |
Deshawn Gastley 02.09.2012 | hellow everybody , i own 2 cdj 900 djm800 , tracktor , i updated but the problem is when i run it HID advance the load on tracktor will go crazyy to the reds while playing 2 tracks on cdjs , and it makes it clipping/slowing tempo/pitchdown the song weirdly. my pc specs , Pentium 4 << 3.4 Ghz << 2GB Ram so now i cant play with this quality in a gig , so i still use the damn black and white Rekordbox ( even though i like it for stability and music managing , but using keyboard and mouse and shit in a gig make me look out of the party image , its like im checking my facebook or emails lol hahahaha ) anyway around that guys ?? plz an answer |
Myong Tiessen 29.08.2012 | wow ... I got that on my cdj screen while shutting down Traktor ... traktor pioneer.jpg I've tried a while remembering what I did but can't get the CDJ doing it again.

Delila Vandommelen 28.08.2012 | You could create an aggregate device with the cdjs and your extra interface. |
Natasha Garity 28.08.2012 | Slightly off-topic question. I'm looking at using an F1 and remix decks in C and D whilst using CDJ2000/900s in A and B. But I've been told that if I combine the soundcards on the CDJs, I am unable to use another soundcard with the setup. Can anyone confirm this? And does that mean that the only way I can run such a setup is using an HID Integrated mixer? |
Hyman Werness 13.08.2012 | Thats why they / i reccomend a powered hub... i have a 13"macbook base model mid 2012 running either tsp2 or serato with one usb and a hub in the other with 2the cdj850s and typically 1 or 2the externals |
Ming Devis 13.08.2012 | Yeah true would be better if you didn't have to plug another thing in the power-board though if there's any room left! |
Hyman Werness 13.08.2012 | use a powered usb hub |
Ming Devis 13.08.2012 | Thanks for the review playing without a sound card sounds so much easier! It's a shame you can't use the link cable for the other usb but it makes sense how it works now I believe about it. Just wish 13 inch Mac book pro's had 3 usb ports so I can plug my X1 in and get those delicious Traktor effects! |
Delila Vandommelen 10.08.2012 | Got a chance to try this at my last gig after I was done with my vinyl/timecode set and had unhooked my laptop, Audio8, multicores... full disclosure : I started working out the essentials with CD decks this year to add to my book of tech knowledge and to have an extra backup for the tunes I don't have on vinyl with me. I'd installed the CDJ driver beforehand and just pulled out my HP laptop out of the bag, connected the two cdjs to two of my usb ports, rebooted to complete the peripheral install and continued setting up while my mates were playing on the other two channels so I could play a tune or two with them. Took a bit of fumbling about because I hadn't done all of the homework (key part : "oh, you gotta press LINK... much better!"). The only issues from then on were user error. Pro tip : on windows CDJ1/2 get numbered in the order in which you plug them in (DUH), I guess in my slightly drunk state I expected it to pickup a number matching the deck assignment. I'd plugged in the right deck first, so there was a bit of scratching the back of my head when looking at the LEDs lighting up the wrong channel Assigned Pioneer CDJ1/CDJ2 to deck A/B outputs. Selected a pitch range on the decks. Oh and don't press master tempo, it toggles sync on the default mapping.
For the record, I'd used timecoded cds on 800mk2s once and apart from the lackluster cue/hotcue performance we all know of, I felt the platter was a bit laggy. It seemed a bit better with usb/mp3 on 850s and 900s, but not tremendously. So take the platter comment with a grain of salt. I don't know whether CDJ platters are a little laggy regardless. They certainly feels laggier than even timecoded vinyl at a higher latency to me (mk1/mk2 irrelevant). |
Hyman Werness 10.08.2012 | yeah dope is right.. you'll need 2 USB... the LINK feature just sends tracks... the usb is a somewhat for HID control so you can manipulate the software from the deck. |
Kasi Marget 10.08.2012 | 2 usb ports, i'm 90% sure. Pioneer's Link is meant only to allow you to use a single USB stick or external hard drive with up to 4 players linked together. |
Ming Devis 10.08.2012 | If you are using 2000's with Traktor do you only have to hook one up to your laptop with a USB cable and use the link cable for the other one? Or do you need to use 2 ports? |

Takisha Hodulik 26.07.2012 | I can't seem to understand why this advanced HID is that big of a deal. Im not trying to sound mean, but if you are going to have traktor plugged in anyways, why does it matter what you can see on the CDJ screens? My friend uses traktor with cdj 2000s connected via audio 8. Basically, what benefits does this have beyond being able to see (very basic) info ont he cdj screen? |
