Can you tell me which DJ deck you can use Bluetooth on KZbin

[@eichbdani]

This Controller is awesome - used it for a bunch of raves on the go with algoriddim DJ on the phone via Bluetooth and a SOUNDBOKS speaker, the mobility is unmatched

[@barryandrews5476]

I'm going back to DJing after 20 years away..I was on vinyl and mainly CDs ..So I'm really up for the change to digital... only thing is I'm Dyslexic so everything has to be totally organized for me to grasp this but I know I have to change for the better 🎤🎧

[@ericdias4199]

I'm thinking of buying the DDJ-200 for small parties and events to use it with my notebook, but I don't have an external soundcard. Do you think I can still play it fine in mono when using a headphone? Thanks

[@vannahgraceful4079]

My DDJ 200 is coming this Saturday

[@SWRMR]

Thank you for all your great videos. Just one thing for anyone using "split mode" is that everything goes to MONO (monitor & master) - no option for STEREO.

[@Crossfader]

Unfortunately because it uses the left channel to go to the headphones and the right to go master, there's no possibility for stereo output!

[@rockmunkey1981]

Does only one earphone work on the headphones or does it play a mono signal through both earphones? I was fully aware of a mono output due to its splitter cable

[@SuperWolfkin]

@@Crossfader OKAY!!! thank you for that at least now I know.

[@SuperWolfkin]

@@rockmunkey1981 Just guessing but any decent splitter would give you mono in both sides I'd be surprised if it wasn't. Then again I'm surprised how many videos reviewing this thing just don't actually mention that your output is mono at all. I was wondering what kind of magical splitter cable is pioneer using and how expensive is it going to be to replace.

[@CM-1723]

@@Crossfader so is this just when using a mobile only for speakers and headphones? Can you get stereo when using a pc or laptop ? Otherwise it's useless 🤣

[@hazardisgaming9287]

Is there any way to use it without the splitter cable and just have two seperate outputs on my audio interface?

[@nightlovel]

ddj 200 with edjing tutorial would be great too

[@mailprattu]

Can we use a bluetooth speaker as an output device ?

[@alicexfit242]

Thank you for this video. Can you also teach us how to cue the headphone music? Like how to use the cue and master buttons on the controller for the headphones. 💆🏻‍♀️

[@NebulaStrange]

I'm very DUMB when it comes to using new electronics! I gotvthis controller today and was looking for some one to help me set it up!

[@roybrown3391]

Can we use KZbin Music Subscription as the source of music to play ?

[@papadomztv2428]

I hope you can still read this. WeDJ is no longer available on android. It says its only available on older version of phone. 😂 But any other app I could use? I'm about to purchase this.

[@blr8980]

Its available now and seems to work fine. Ive not got a DDJ-200 yet but it offers me the option to connect on the android app. Does it work fine for you?

[@sjsiemka]

I love how compact and light it is, I'm really happy for my Birthday purchase, I have dreamt of a DJ Controller for 7 years, and I've already been working with music for that long and knew all of the DJ'ing ins & outs, just needed to learn to do that on a controller, for the very first time. And this is a really good and easy setup guide :) I'm really excited for the future ahead of me.

[@KenzieShittu]

good luck

@@KenzieShittu Thank you man! ✨️🖤

[@kevindevlieger2542]

Hello, I purchased the DDJ-200 and really happy with my first 2 channel mixer. I was using JBL Flip Essential initially, but purchased the JBL Extreme 2 version to have more Watts for outdoor usage. When I play spotify by Bluetooth connection the volume and quality is great. But in the setup with the splitter cable and iPad + DDJ, the max volume is only half. All levels on iPad, Speaker and Djay app are on maximum. Do I need an extra device like preamp to feed the speaker? Hope to get some support. Regards, Kevin

[@Tra1vis]

Did you get solution on this?

[@boboperry]

I have the same problem.

[@aaronthornhill8474]

What speakers do you use ?

[@Kernow76]

Love all the cdj3000 and prime 4 vids etc, but so good to see you haven’t forgotten that loads of people just want to start with a cheap controller and need videos on it. Great to see 👍🏻

[@Karee.z]

As for me I'm using a Bluetooth speaker which works perfectly well. Problem is both decks are playing at the same time when I move the crossfader to the left or to the right. Not sure how to fix this so that when the song on the left deck is playing the right isn't and vice versa.

How can it give out 2 different sound outputs in stereo from one headphone jack?

[@Narcolepsykid]

@6:40 thanks for this advice I was hearing the same thing in both headphones and stereo

[@gabryhun]

Hello. Thanks for the tutorial, really helpful. Also considering to sign up to the course. One question though: is there a way to control the volume of the headphone? I hear the music in it using the cue very quiet, almost nothing. Thanks for the tips in advance!

[@andrewbullman5206]

I have a pc and bought a ddj200 to try djing for the first time. Was having fun just using my laptop speakers and messing around but the time came to get the headphones going. The splitter cable does not work. I use an external speaker too so the laptop speakers were not in use. I can only hear both tracks playing in headphones no matter what I do with settings etc. The speakers do the same thing. Please help if you can! I feel like smashing the ddj to pieces. I use rekorbox. And yes, I pressed the button mentioned in this video. Right now I am gutted I wasted money on it.

[@andrewbullman5206]

Turns out my expensive laptop headphone jack is cheap and nasty and that is the problem! Got the ddj400 now instead.

[@noahmiller2040]

Anyone have any solutions if the split audio is not working to the speakers? I click the split audio button and the music does not come out of the desired speaker I have plugged in, getting very frustrated and debating just selling the controller all together, if anyone could give me an suggestions or help that would be amazing!

[@satrajitdebnath4808]

so are the headphone outputs and the monitor outputs mono???

[@free4gamersxbox195]

if you have a set of bluetooth jbl speakers 400 connected on the laptop should you not need the splitter cable as you already have speakers connected and then just connect headphones to pc

[@owaintate-burd4754]

Really helped mate enjoy Dj-ing

[@ryfty418]

When I try connect to the ddj 200 it just says not cemented

[@skeetarus]

We use a bluetooth speaker (Blueant x4) that doesn't have an audio jack input. Will that affect being able to use the headphones to cue, or should we just connect the headphones via the supplied cable and leave the speaker end disconnected?

[@deevsaal]

how can I connect my headphones to windows rekordbox with a Bluetooth speaker to ddj200?

[@oozkid9149]

so if i have amp powered speakers i would just run it threw my regular mixer, the to the amps, then ouit to the speaker? or do i skip the mixer and go straight into the amps?

[@radio-future]

If I don’t have speakers, can the sound just come out of the laptop?

[@MrJontheman29]

Have a question, can this work. On a Chromebook or just a laptop

[@charleswalker101]

Thanks for the video, it gave me the push to go and buy one and get back into mixing after a long time away from it! It does the job brilliantly, especially as I haven’t got a huge library of downloads yet (using Djay and Beatport Link) One question... I have a bit of a lag between my headphones and my speakers (tv soundbar) connected via the 2 plug AUX channel. Bit annoying when I have my headphone on one ear and listening to the speakers with the other. Does anyone know any solutions to get them in sync. Have tried two pairs of headphones, but no joy! Cheers

[@jackedkerouac4414]

It's your speaker. Lag is common among many consumer speakers nowadays, even when using an AUX input. The only solution is to take your DDJ 200 etc to a store and test speakers out. Not a big hassle tho since you can easily fit everything into a backpack and hit up the shops

[@brycejohnson644]

you can also set your headphone output to master to hear both tracks playing in your headphones while only one track plays oon your speakers

[@liontoshibaentertainment8155]

Bro l just try the volume with my rekorbox on my laptop but the headphones and speaker still give me the same music

Hi is it possible to use the DDJ 200 with Traktor? It's not on the manufacturers list, so wondering if there is a work around?

You'd have to create your own midi mapping I'd imagine sadly.

[@amandaburleson2035]

am i able to connect to the controller and send sound wirelessly to my sound bar via bluetooth as well thanks

[@ZeroSmoke.]

Something is not right. When I plug in the audio splitter, it works at first. But then when I connect the DDJ through Bluetooth, there's absolutely no audio from either the speakers nor my headphones. I'm on Android using WeDJ. It says Split Audio is enabled, yet nothing.

[@dylanstechreviewz6857]

If you have the Bluetooth on it more than likely sends the audio through Bluetooth instead of the headphone Jack's

[@jairgarcia9998]

[@Crossfader]

No Bluetooth speakers will work well with dj equipment as the latency is too big. There are exceptions with higher end low latency wireless systems but a standard Bluetooth speaker like a Sonos won’t work. As for headphones they will need to be wired too.

You'll never see anyone using bluetooth headphones or speakers ever in DJing. This is because the lag is too lag and not fixed so you'll never be in time sadly. Basically when you press a button there is a delay to you hearing it and that delay can even change! You'll need to invest in some wired headphones for when your DJ'ing :) Hope this helps!
