Just wanted to come back and say that I did my first set with HID (after years of using control signal) and it was great so thanks for the tutorial. One VERY important thing to add is that it seems to immensely lighten the load on your CPU as it doesn't have to read a control tone anymore. I used to get occasional millisecond dropouts with control tone (despite being well over specs) but it all ran super smooth and not a single dropout. One problem is sharing with other Serato DJs who wanna use it too! I guess old skool style track off a usb while unplugging and replugging the USB cable... Thanks again!

@@rebeljunction8876 timecodes are the old system or when you play with timecode records/cds (DVS-Mode). You can put the newest firmware on a usb stick an put it into the player. Then you can make a update. But when you updated the player OFF/ON that he starts again. Like a computer after a update. Can take 2-5min depends on how old the old firmware is at the payer and what kind of usb stick you use(2.0/3.0). At a good club the have normally the newest firmware updated. Last update CDJ2000nxs2 was in March2019. That does not happen often. When you get booked ask the club witch gear they use and ask when they make the last update. You can download all firmware from the pioneer homepage. www.pioneerdj.com/en-gb/support/software/

In Serato settings you can change the channels between two presets. You're right you won't need the RCA cables if you're using the mixer as a soundcard.
@djhabibi043 жыл бұрын
@@Crossfader Those presets are either channel 1 and 2 or 2 and 3, right? You can't have it so that both djs (both using Serato DJ) have two separate channels each, eg, one DVS DJ on channel 1 and 4 with the CDJ RCAs plugged into those channels, the HID DJ on channel 2 and 3? Sorry about this, I don't have this mixer at home so would prefer to know before getting to the venue. Either way I'll download the manual! Thanks!

If you're using the SL box, connect the SL box's outputs to the mixer via RCA cables. You only need to connect the output as there is no time code, so the CDJ's don't require RCA cables. Then connect your CDJ's via USB in HID mode and away you go.

Hi there! I just performed a gig last week and used the HID mode. But midway through my set, there was some lagging issues occurring - pretty often. It causes me to not be able to spin properly. I have another gig coming up and want to prevent this from happening again - may I know what can possibly be the issue? Was it my laptop? A windows laptop with pretty good specs. Was it the RCA cables? I got 3m cables those standard ones for printers, should I have gotten shorter cables? Or better quality ones? Was it due to my USB hub? Should I have gotten powered USB hub? Or was it the mixer being old? I was using a CDJnexus 2000. Appreciate it if someone can help me out on this!!! 🙏🏻
