cdj 900 & traktor

[gcdj]

will be soon buying some 900's but still not fully understanding the midi function on them. does it mean you can run your whole system through traktor ?

[pulsebeat]

yep

you can connect traktor via the USB cord through the back and essentially you can do everything on the 900, just using the music and the traktor through the laptop

ok that makes no sense to me

but like you can use eveything on the 900 as normal where as with any non midi deck you need the control cd

pretty much what pulse said, but the ideal set up would be adding a konrtol x1 or something to conrtol the effects and other features as i dont think you could control that directly from the player (besides the players inbuild effects)

i may be wrong though

[gcdj]

ohhh so you plug your 2 900's int laptop vie usb then send audio out of the rca jacks into the mixer

[pulsebeat]

correct mate

and yeah with traktor you might want the X1 for the effects and that shit

ohhh so you plug your 2 900's int laptop vie usb then send audio out of the rca jacks into the mixer

you will need a soundcard

players and mixer into soundcard into laptop out to speakers

i think thats how it works....

you don't need another sound card, the cdj900s have inbuilt sound cards

in OS-X, you set up an agregate device and use Deck A as channel 1 and deck B as channel 2.
