The "extra deck" trick with using the roll effect is so useful! Definitely my favorite of all these.

[@alexanderfichtinger7517]

This is very cool, yes :)

[@scottreid1028]

I dont get it!! Help!! EDIT: I GOT IT!!! JHEEEEEZ!!!!

[@djchris1550]

Same I used it a lot

[@fs5317]

Having trouble getting the “extra deck” trick to work. When I engage the roll effect on the channel, it applies to the channel but upon switching to AUX channel and lowering the volume fader for the channel, I lose sound. Any idea where I’m going wrong?

[@w1llyuhm424]

@@fs5317 I’m having the same issue

[@PhotonAD]

wow, number 4, using roll as 3rd deck, and number 5, using the secret gate with sweep fx both blew my mind, thanks so much, you're a jedi for sure.

[@dj.BellaB]

Thank you, I've djing for 3 years. everything was new to me and I appreciate your video.

[@rickybobby4124]

Top tips as always Jamie !! The RX2 is a sweet piece of kit

[@luispires9506]

[@patricktrainor9703]

[@DJZO3]

WOw !! I just got this baby and I been having a hard time with some of the features, as is totally different than CDJ'sX2 . This video is Awesome thank you !! CHeers

[@damonrichards7124]

Learned a few new tricks there. Great video thanks.

[@lucacappellari1463]

Gr8 quick vid for tricks. However, for the ones out there struggling with the Roll trick, you should've mentioned that in order for the Roll FX to don't skip on Loading tracks on deck one, AUX switch should be set to 0db or 12db, if set to Off it will cause the roll fx to skip back to the start of the loop. It took me ages before I could get that working. I hope this advice can be usefull for the ones out there stuck on this enigma of the roll skip...

[@kjcostello4765]

how do you do this?

[@michellemccudden5625]

[@YaniqueEntertainment]

[@muffin10ization]

Great video. learned some new dj tricks for my rx2. thanks

[@Crossfader]

Glad to help 🙌🏻

[@74Cheshire]

The sample via AUX channel is easily the best for me - Adding a 3rd channel, even in this limited manner is a serious trick for the unit!

[@paulthorwesten7377]

Oh boy, the roll trick is nice

[@DjSkipAlexander]

Thanks- keep it coming

[@dejbasic]

I use often Roll efekt 4/1 on my DJM 400 to record first or second channel and while music is playing I can restart my computer or program like nothing happend. This is useful thing for playing with only one CDJ.

[@marshlong]

Love these tips

[@iggydesouza2229]

My compliments for the tricks. Really helpful.

[@Crossfader]

Glad you like them! :D

[@valerinagjevukaj6320]

[@dannysykes3252]

enjoying your videos, any tips on how to highlight tracks that would key match on DDJ-400! Kepp up the good work.

[@melaniekalay]

I had no idea you could create a 3rd channel using the Aux. Amazing, looking forward to playing with this feature

[@jocksterDJ]

[@Crossfader]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@KevinConwell23]

Awesome stuff! Does the live sampler record on beat, like an auto-loop? Or do you need to get it just right when hitting the button?

[@edduardooliverdj]

[@hasangokdogan8790]

thanx a lot crossfadfer team is great

[@m1ndsetstudio]

Like commented and subscribed !!!!! Awesome

[@menschmaschine-2483]

Es ist nicht nur für Event-Dj´s interessant. Habe jahrelang mit Vinyl aufgelegt und mit CDJ´s eigentlich nie. Inzwischen kommt man aber nicht mehr an denen vorbei. Da der Controller die gleiche Software und ein nahezu identisches Layout benutzt, ist das für mich die perfekte Alternative zu CDJ´s und Mixer, die nur zum daheim auflegen und Sets vorbereiten einfach zu teuer wären. Daß es ein Standalone-Gerät ist, macht die Sache für mich noch interessanter, weil man so tatsächlich auch mal selber ne mittelgroße Party schmeißen kann, ohne Laptop und die ständige Angst, daß dieser abschmieren könnte^^

[@DjSkipAlexander]

thanks for the tips, its taking me 2 years to get this far lol

[@Pineappleman-iv2hc]

thank you very much

[@gambittomusic]

I like the roll trick ;)

Quality video

[@marvin8321]

Hey Jamie great video, the Vinyl Speed adjust trick looked really cool, are you able to do that with the DDJ 1000 and Rekordbox dj software?. I would like to see some videos dedicated to the DDJ 1000 that would be awesome.

[@ncolmore]

Yes you can do that in Rekordbox. Preferences->Controller->Deck->Touch/Brake-> Vinyl Speed Adjust

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

I dont think i'll be using this unit anytime soon, but still liked watching your videos, do keep it up

[@deejaylay7769]

sweet 👏👏👏

[@simiqz]

Can you do a vid when to apply the filter in drum and bass or just some more drum and bass tutorials

[@pouyanmallahzadeh3868]

The vynl just did it great 👍

[@igormiladin6998]

Awesome

[@theonemalick]

Thank you so much ❤️ it would be very Helpfull a tuto like this in Xdj Rx3 please 🙏

[@bfreakin]

I’ve had the unit for a few weeks now and love it. I’m converting over from Serato DVS. There are a couple of things I haven’t figured out…How do you get the illuminating play head on the jog wheels to load at the 12 o’clock position? Also, when scratching the first beat of a song the playhead tends to lag if there isn’t a silent gap before the first beat. Let me know if there is a solution for this. Thanks!

[@mattdrbarnard]

Aux record effect, very interesting

[@darrelllawrence809]

Hey guys.. Neat video.. Two questions... Can u please explain more in detail how to properly set and use the Color (knob) function? and also.... In Automix.. There is the crossfade that cuts the playing song out a full 30 secs early. This is not very desirable. Is there a way to alter the length and position of this crossfade in Automix? Thanks a bunch.

[@ikerm4110]

Hello! Congratulations for your videos. Can you connect, RMX-1000 for ipad to this controller?

[@funkumusic7054]

NICE

[@adamwhitmore1989]

Nice 1

[@shubhamlad2102]

Nice

[@Bavubuka]

If I've prepared my playlist with all my specific settings in Rekordbox on different equipment and exported my playlist onto a usb, if I then plug that usb into this controller will the controller override any of the settings I created on my exported playlist? Hope that was clear. Love the channel.

[@andreabarreca1316]

Hi, congratulations for your videos, they are really very useful and fantastic. You are really very good !! I would like to ask you how do I map the features of Rekordbox DJ, with my XDJ-RX2? Unfortunately I can't figure out how to use the XDJ-RX2 console with Rekordbox DJ, and use the various effects offered by the Rekordbox DJ software, I tried a little, but I see that using XDJ-RX2 with the Laptop and Rekordbox, is a bit difficult and limited !! You don't have full control of the effects of Rekordbox DJ on the XDJ-RX, and then the effects buttons like I have to have them in the RX2 console, without having to physically go to my laptop every time to change effect and use the mouse ?! Do you know how to use RX2 with Rekordbox DJ, without using the mouse and having full control? Thank you very much......

[@wheremylifego3790]

You my friend are a different level lol ...I can beat match but having mixed for probably 10 years now, I want to get bk into mixing amd have been looking at these rx2's but my god how daunting compared to the ole 12/10s, are there course I can take to learn on this piece of equipment? Thanks.....NAMASTÉ

[@user-pl5rr4ij4v]

You look like armin van burren 😍 , really

[@Crossfader]

It's usually Harry Potter that Jamie is compared to! 😂

[@antoineduprat2555]

Hi could you help me , what tot do when the master tempo is stuck, no way to go back to normal... thanks, and very clear video btw

[@thechampollion]

Do you know how to active the demo mode, the buttons changing colours, like in the stores?

thanks for these! I couldn't do the mixing in key, the tracks are all analysed in Rekordbox but don't show any other track thank the one playing when I press browse. do you have a troubleshooting tip please?

[@MehdiSAADALLAH]

Thanks. it is wonderful ... How do you display the BPM along with the Key when you are browsing the tracks?

[@StefJ460]

I have the sane problem.. did you already got the solution?

[@Jormungadr]

Hit info on top

[@djmatthias4593]

How did you make dark background/theme in your RX2? Please help...

[@johnparker8270]

How would you rig this up to rekordbox DJ using a Windows machine. Also would it require a license or would it be plug n play.

[@riskyminor6775]

Hi, I have a question regarding the play/pause button. When you press play/pause on a CDJ while a track is playing, a stutter effect appears instead of total silence. Is that function available on the XDJ RX2 as well? By the way, your video was really helpful. :) Thanks! :)

[@darrelllawrence809]

Yes if u disengage the vinyl button feature the stutter effect is there. With it engaged the Pause and Cue work as expected.
