[@DJVarMar]

This is some great info if I ever have to use it. I'm happy to see Traktor is working to keep the party going. Thank you.

[@djshineboy]

Nice video ! I’m never gonna use this myself but the instruction on how to create a virtual audio device is gold !

[@JRthepyroguy]

And that's my problem with my ns7ii. I'm hoping to get a new controller soon. Thanks for the video. Very informative.

[@peeweeprimero1285]

I already done this set up using Pioneer DDJ-SR and Virtual DJ software. I remember you had the same video before but using DDJ-200 with Serato SL box. Thanks sensei!

[@Marcinfv]

the best channel on you tube !!! strait too the point , profesionaly explained and i like his voice can watch those videos all the time !!!!

[@jermainlinton2959]

Another banger video! Thank you, you wizard 🙏🏾

[@priyonjoni]

No problem!

[@grahamhickson4137]

Did this with the DDJ-T1 and a pair of PLX-500, the only audio cable in the whole setup was from the T1 to the speakers, everything else was digital usb, very clean setup and that was over 3 years go

[@ebausa1937]

Thank you so much for your video! It already helped me a lot. Is there any way to select the "through" setting in Rekordbox with this set up? I'd love to play actual vinyls through Rekordbox.

[@deejayworlhed738]

AM FROM JA AND I LEARN ALOT FROM YOU

[@priyonjoni]

Glad I could help!

[@jasonlinford1645]

please please make a video on how to do it on Windows 10

[@marioruz3772]

Amazing !! I’m trying to do it with a DDJ400 and one vinyl player !!

[@dikranpoladian4724]

You can probably do the same under windows with ASIO4ALL assuming both the audio Interface and the FL6 is ASIO compliant. All that being said it is easier to do it under MacOS as the aggregator is built in.

[@priyonjoni]

So far, I have found that macOS handles syncing of aggregate devices much more reliably. I haven’t quite figured it out on Windows yet. You can get weird glitches like your FLX6 working properly but the timecode jumping in and out of lagging.

[@springvalleyskatepark]

Yo, thank you for this! I was wondering how to link the controller as a middle mixer for the turntables. You just unlocked the code for us! 💯🙏🏾🏁

[@springvalleyskatepark]

Specifically for the cross fader! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@priyonjoni]

No problem!

[@marlonbalagtas7867]

That is so amazing... by the way Kuya can I use rekordbox on my old school set up that I have( dnx600 and sc3900)? Just wondering. Im using Serato with it right now. Thank you so much.

[@YA7ESY]

So does this enable you to mix all 6 channels at the same time. I noticed when you was moving the vinyl it was imitating on the jog wheel. Is there anyway to run both turntables and jog wheels independently 😊

[@54dbruno]

so instead of vinyl can you use xdj 700's...as i have 2 of them getting a flex gt would be the cheapest way of being able to mix on 4 units

[@ItsWesSmithYo]

Cool…guess Rane finally tossed out the SL for the mixers…going back down the turntable rabbit hole w/rekordbox, wish me luck…

[@fredericsicsic9391]

Very interesting video, I have 4 questions: 1) Can you also set the 'Absolute Mode'? 2) Would it also work with the new Reloop Flux interface, (it's USB Class-Compliant)? 3) My question is still theoretical: instead of connecting the XP1 or XP2 to activate the DVS, could we connect the Interface 2 and also connect the Traktor Audio 6? Or would there be conflicts 4) Can the Audio 6 interface be used with a classic 2-channel mixer and Rekordbox, like the Interface 2, of course with DVS plugin active via license or with XP1/2 hardware?

[@johneccles9051]

That’s brilliant would it work on the numark sound card

[@MarkHunger]

nice video, Do you think it is a good idea of buying this DJ Controller and have a converter in between to to convert the RCA to XLR to have a balanced and better sound quality? One thing to be said is, im just a starter and googling since almost 1 month and trying to find something good, and also not too expensive . so would be very happy if you can reply.

[@ross_791]

Thank you for the detailed explanation, you're also really good at scratching. Can I use a controller not compatible with Rekordbox (Ddj-rev1 or Numark Party Mix 2), and instead of the Traktor interface use the newer Interface 2 Pioneer (avoiding the conflict between controller and interface aggregating devices), to be able to use DVS the same way you did in the video?

[@mirentxuarias9922]

with the Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 podría conectarlo a mi plato de vinilo / tocadisco? Aún no me la he comprado porque no parece que tenga entrada phono

[@sliceintoit]

Okay PJ, so with the same hardware as shown here, could we use Serato in place of RB? EDIT: I see the answer is no,

[@marcinklimek8065]

Great work

[@giovannivicentin8438]

This is AWESOME, thanks for you time and for share this knowlege. If is possible, may i ask ONE little point? In the video you say to deactivate the TRHU function in the soundcard and software. IF i wanna use real vinyls in thru mode, is this possible? Or to this setup work, is a must have the THRU deactivate and this scenario using real vinyls is not possible? Again... thanks for the video. Full support.

[@priyonjoni]

It will not work. It will only work if you have the interface plugged into a mixer where you’re using the interface’s individual output for each channel. That’s not the case here. The DJ software has no capability of “pass-thru.”

[@ery.m]

Hello there Pj, 1 quick question... i got ddj flx10 running with RB... is it possible if i wanted to connect with PLX 500 and straight away use the turntable (plug and play). Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you in advance

[@priyonjoni]

You can use the turntable but you will need the following: Rekordbox: upgrade to Creative Plan Serato: upgrade and activate to DVS expansion

[@jameswilliams1825]

@priyonjoni Is this possible with the Rev 7 too? I used to own turntables, SL1 & SL2 back in the day but I'm now wanting to try a controller. Also, I like the idea of being able to add a turntable next to Rev 7 for the future.

[@priyonjoni]

You can simply add a turntable to the REV7 by plugging it in.

[@jameswilliams1825]

@@priyonjoni Thanks for confirming this as I wasn't able to find anything online. Cheers from the UK 🤛

[@monlus8865]

Heyy question can we use the hid feature on the cdjs with a flx6 connecting cdjs to the laptop via usb using a hub and then the flx6 to the computer using a different hub?

[@priyonjoni]

You can use HID mode to add additional CDJs.

[@mtaerials606]

Nice video! Does this work with cdj 1000 mk2?

[@priyonjoni]

Yes using DVS, but why would you do that when there is a jog wheel with full MIDI control on the controller?

[@juwansome441]

Hi there! So at 3:50 you mentioned that we can't use the Pioneer RekordboxDJ DVS Interface 2, because it would create a conflict. Would that conflict also exist with the DDJ-200 which doesn't have any sound card? It would be a perfect setup for me as I'm already using the DDJ-200 in a mixer case with 2 PLX turntables beside it (selling my DJM-S9). Also, what about using PhaseDJ DVS in this scenario? I'm trying to avoid moving to Serato as I already have the XP1 (not the XP2!) Thanks!

[@priyonjoni]

The conflict happens when there are two or more rekordbox natively supported devices. That includes a DDJ-200.

[@noeljuan2070]

Possibly related question: Would Serato Pro run on my trusty old Pioneer SB3 if I had a Pioneer XP2 chained into my 16” MacBook Pro? Or am I still stuck with Serato Lite? Thanks in advance!

[@priyonjoni]

You can use Serato DJ Pro with the DDJ-SB3 with a paid upgrade.

[@Marspalacios]

Will this method work with the new Reloop Flex for DVS???

[@fredbarrantes6401]

So is there absolutely no way to do it with Serato? All other factors being the same?

[@pakiito26]

Wooow just what I was looking for, I already have the flx 6, and now im learning to use turntables, but I can't find the traktor audio 6 available :( another suggestions/alternatives? Thanks!!!

[@priyonjoni]

Have you tried eBay or reverb?

[@unoleeone]

Thanks, Nice video. How about to use PLX-500 - it seems like to have an usb insterface turntable without Audio 6 ?

[@priyonjoni]

The PLX-500’s interfaced isn’t designed for real-time connectivity. It will actually introduce more latency than a proper interface. It’s designed for ripping vinyl into the computer. PLX-500 isn’t really a professional DJ turntable. It’s a playback and vinyl ripping device that takes design cues from the PLX-1000.

[@romanpaterko2797]

Hi everyone, would be the same work but with DDJ FLX 4 ? Would be very thankful for the answer

[@Frizen88]

hi PJ, can a DDJ sb3 + phase +any turntable with serato works? i saw you use a CDJ +phase+ light sword (that's dope btw). i ask this cause i want to use the ddj fader to control the right side and phase to scratch properly.

[@priyonjoni]

No it will not work.

[@MotorbikeMike]

is it possible to set this up thru asio? I have a PLX 500 im trying to make work on a FLX 10 hooked up to a dac so i can share my speakers with my computer.

[@priyonjoni]

Windows does not have a reliable sync for aggregated devices, no matter what the driver.

[@t9859]

Using this method would it allow you to play your records on the turntables or are you just controlling the track that’s loaded in rekordbox with them? If this makes sense lol

[@priyonjoni]

This method does not allow you to playback direct audio from the turntables.

Hi, do you know if you can use the 4 channels? like use 2 digital and 2 dvs

[@priyonjoni]

Yes

[@morzie4075]

so in theory you can do this with cdjs to create a 4 deck link withouth having to press 3 & 4 on the flx 6

[@priyonjoni]

It's not a theory. Its definitely a main function you can do with many 4 channel, and 4 channel capable controllers.

Can i use the flx6 mixer to player regular records not dvs thanks

Does it also work if you use it with Windows and don't connect turntables but CDJs?

Whether Mac or PC, CDJs are easy because you can simply add them to deck 3 and 4 using HID mode. Both DJ software will easily support this.

how can I do this with my DDJ-800 Rekordbox, on windows 11

[@priyonjoni]

If there is a reliable way to aggregate devices AND keep them in sync on Windows, then it’ll be possible. I could be wrong, but at the current moment, I don’t know of any reliable utility.

[@robertaguilar1179]

anyone know how to do this on windows 11?? :)

The issue with windows is that there is no effective way to aggregate multiple devices and keep them in sync. This goes for both native or 3rd party method.
