[@skaterpro7959]

[@aliststudios1079]

I watched this video just to get some info on the pioneer system you are using. I have them on order of course and on their way, HOWEVER. The video itself was terrific. Thank you for sharing. I already know all of this, but, Your knowledge kept me locked in the whole time. Great job! Thanks again!

[@RicMansur]

Very informative video, thanks a lot! Now I'd like to see a video about hooking up Traktor X1, laptop and soundcard to the Mixers please

[@Muur100]

This is the best dj tutorial ever! Thank you very much!!!

[@dcdriveinn]

Very well done. Might be good to mention is that sometimes you gotta do this in the dark ;)

[@obakengphefo264]

this the best tutorial i have ever found on KZbin thank you soo much

[@stevenking2828]

Excellent video. I'm making the leap from the digital world into Pioneer (though I'm not so sure this is an "upgrade") and I found this very helpful.

[@arko1474]

lmao i saw you so many times in the comment section of this vid

[@sairyn09]

I'm a n00b at all this, but have to learn how to set it up for our restaurant/club. This going to help heaaaps. thank you +Kosmic Sound

[@krutarth264]

Thanks Leonard! This is very helpful.. For my PA system, should I run the cable from my mixer to my subwoofer or speaker first?

[@michaelstaines4153]

Wow!... What a great and very helpful and informative video very Easy to understand..... ✌️👍

[@arthurwatts1680]

Thanks for this - I have plenty of experience with home audio gear using XLR and RCA connections but I needed a basic intro for DJ gear. You have a few more connections but ultimately its the same concept - source(s) into amp or powered monitors.

[@eastlandskid]

Brilliant.... best tutorial on this important lesson I found well done kosmic

[@AdammmLOLOL]

If using CDJs, don't use the crossfader, or just using the mixer, learn to use the volume faders. You lose so much sound using the crossfader.

[@djmiansf]

lots of people tell me that, so im working on changing my habits!!

It depends on what curve you're using ;)

[@keefdestefano8673]

Anyone else remember when this dude blew up Nakatomi Plaza back in the eighties?

[@ethanaye6745]

Omfg I just bought my mixer from this guy half an hour ago

[@Rob0clark]

im a new dj and i have some pioneer cdj800s and a djm 600 mixer and this has helped me alot thanks man! My monitors are M-Audio BX8 they dont have RCA connection only XLR so i had to buy a XLR to RCA addaptor to be able to play them through master. but thanks mate very helpful video!

[@chriswade7336]

Great tips for setting levels.

[@BpmSupreme]

Super Clean Set Up :) Cheers, Bpm Supreme Record Pool

[@aame6643]

Who else is watching this and knows he can't buy these?

[@djflixxstudio5735]

Majd Bishara me

[@Satai80]

I wish....

[@stevenking2828]

I just bought some and thanks to this video they were very easy to hook up - that and with mobile DJing I'm used to working with connections... but always with my own stuff and never walking in to hook up to others'.

[@spawnterror]

I can buy all of this, but I have a wife.

[@andrealupino219]

This is the BEST answer.. ahahahahah

[@raygonzalez8190]

Thanks for the info, nice and clear and on point. 👍

[@chrisbailey7956]

This was a very good vid...kepp making more learn how to setup first time I watch it...Masters at Work..for sure...Thanks

[@WayneVanRock]

This is about the most expensive gear you can get. Two CDJ-2000 NXS and a DJM 700 K makes roughly 4800€. For a beginner who needs setup instructions I'd recommend the solution with a notebook and a controller with included interface, which you can get for 200€. And you can get really nice ones if you spent up to 800€. Also they're smaller to carry and easier to set up. By now the most common solution also in clubs around me.

[@WayneVanRock]

This is the most expensive equipment you can buy by now. Pioneer CDJ-2000 NXS and a DJM 700-K, that's roughly 2 x 2.000€ + 800€ = 4800€, that's no beginner stuff. For someone who needs initial instructions I recommend starting with a Notebook & Controller, comes much cheaper. Having a notebook, a basic controller with everything needed comes at 200€, software is free (Virtual DJ). For up to 700€ you'll get some kick-ass stuff, the most common solution for DJ's in most clubs around me nowadays

[@johnlouiswait2884]

I just wanna say thank you because I’m not a professional even though I’ve got some expensive kit but thanks still the same thank you

[@bmagic9717]

thanks man . it helps me lot with that volume level thing

[@paifictower604]

Thanks so much! I really like this. It helped me out a lot

[@OlympusHeavyCavalry]

Gone are the days when Vinyl was used. :)

[@morenaso1]

Thanks. Many people who work in the entertainment/audio field dont take the time out to show this

[@albertolopez797]

most complete tutorial and informative, subscribed! THANKS!

[@Seki..]

Actually many DJs come from a musical background. I myself took piano lessons for 5 years, guitar for 4 , I have taught myself to play drums and played saxophone in band during high school.

[@DaBeatsFreak]

Love it. Too bad the camara edit is sometimes focused on the wrong angel, cause you wanna see in a blink of an eye which knob or connection you have to use. I had to go back ones in a while to see where the used knob or lineport is. Overall good presentation.

[@djkiller123100]

This would have been the perfect tutorial for my work.

[@JAY-wx2yd]

DJKiller123100 poser

[@djkiller123100]

Yung Lagoon I didn't comment for that I literally commented because IT IS the perfect tutorial for my work...

[@Buzzytvbuzz]

Thank you from Morocco :)

[@jpnumarkpimenta4638]

thank you for support

[@alice10888]

Nice job on the tutorial. Thanks.

[@ankitpatel9856]

Was super helpful! thank you very much!

[@92cowayne]

Grate video...

[@djpj3153]

When you hooked up the Turntable where do you get your music from without a laptop? I recently got a DJM 500 and waiting for Stanton t62 turntables but am curious how to hook it up to my laptop for future gigs. Sorry for any dumb questions still learning about everything.

[@MrGogocad]

As usual, VERY GOOD ! Though I am a DB4 guy, the same applies . Thanks :)

[@snowvalleyrat]

I feel like anyone with $6000 worth of equipment on their table would know how to set it up.

[@IntenseCity]

Yeah!!!!! lol

[@antonioennis3793]

Frank Pirolo Disagree, I just bought this exact setup and had no idea how to set it up, the club does that...

[@TehSkyzee]

Frank Pirolo $6000 equipament ? good for you, here in Brazil only ONE CDJ is R$6000 hahahahah

[@ethanaye6745]

I spent 449 so yah

[@nickssneakers2766]

I'm 11 I just bought a mixer and laptop

[@JoanSamblancat]

Hello Kosmic Sound. If you use a second usb in the second cdj 2000 nexus, could you click both on the usb and link so that you get both types of information? I mean if you have both of the clicked will you get the music on both usbs?

[@dfcvda]

I need a video like this for my Technics SL-1210 dj set up with mixer and eveything else (for vinyl) I mean.

[@sikanderdjjalalabad5373]

Good

[@mikesmusic1000]

i've gone with a macbook. imac, 2 dual disc players as back up with a 12 channel sound desk with a mic to and im happy with that until i got enough money to get them but right now i have nothing else to say

[@DreadlockDrummer]

this was very helpful! thanks!

[@asmrbar1820]

Btw, what song is playing at 14:16? Great beat! :) Fantastic video btw.

[@tannerjames314]

Could you use these speakers as a PA system or just as studio monitors at your house?

[@dsquareddan]

THANK YOU for setting everything to 0db and explaining WHY. You'd think people would fucking understand that Green lights are good, orange means bad, red means go home

[@MrSjakomeester]

One of the most common mistakes with DJ equipment is: good DJ gear like the Pioneer CDJ's but then fuck up cables like this one used in the movie

[@svw1978]

Bedankt voor je duidelijke uitleg! +1 voor jou

[@bencarlisle8124]

The way he stands the cdjs and mixer up really irritates me, jesus little more care, that's expensive equipment!

[@johnfleff]

Easy now

[@rabindrasutradhar2381]

Hi

[@schizoak_4720]

That was like fingernails to a chalkboard, I cringed when he did that ...

[@thomasgeard9397]

Its not that bad this equipment is able to handle that sort of thing

[@robs2000]

great upload cheers !!!

[@jabwana9946]

Can I use both output channels at the same time? One for Passive Speakers And one ActiveThank you?.

[@fearnhead94]

i have a question is it possible to just plug in some headphones and mix rather than out some massive speakers

[@djmiansf]

yes you can, theres a split option which will split one side of headphones to master and one side of headphones to your cue!

[@crux6331]

is it better to get a controller or to get seperate mixers/turntables as shown here?

[@fdav123123]

Amazing tutorial!

[@pouremilee]

wow...thanks man...this video helps a lot

[@Spaced_Invader]

Thank you so much for this!

[@vatoloco2240]

great video

[@MrEt786]

good vdeo n tips, Thanks!!!

[@ticosantana9293]

What's a better setup a pair of Pioneer XDJ-1000 players with a Pioneer DJM-900SRT mixer, a Pioneer DDJ-SP1 Midi Controller and a Pioneer RMX-500/1000 (I don't know which is better) or a pair of Pioneer XDJ-1000 players with a Rane 62 mixers, a Pioneer DDJ-SP1 Midi Controller and a Pioneer RMX-500/1000?

[@AshwaniKumar-eu8vv]

Nice video bro

[@robertw.1499]

I have a DDJ SX 2 wired to my iMac with two Pioneer S-DJ 05 monitor speakers. At what point do I set the output volume of the iMac? Do I wind that output up to max, set the channel levels, then the master or what? My speakers are quite powerful, and as mid-range desk top speakers, they can really rock. The blue LED lights will start to show red when clipping occurs. They also have a remote volume controller. So many possibilities but not sure how to optimise their setup. Please advise 👍

[@danshiver1128]

good aft, i have an issue with random looping when i scratch and/or move the platter to cue up. also, the sound cuts off unless i hold the needle search. do u have any ideas on how i can fix this? i have cdj 2000s.

[@tomaszleszczuk7054]

Hi, .My front room is small. is it better to buy one Yamaha dbr15 (15inch driver)or two dbr12 to have stereo?

[@SpencerT4ken]

What Equipment Are You Using I could get it in the beginning

[@MooseCannon]

do u link them with a patch or cross over ethernet cable?

[@viorelgalan7913]

what's the name of the track you were using for testing ? thank you

[@xcessdj]

great tips!

[@ultimatenutcase666]

Great tutorial but I just have one question. Right now I'm working with my Pioneer DDJ-S1 controller and I'm think about upgrading to a proper pair of decks and mixer, similar to what you've got except I might use a DJM-2000. I was wondering there was anyway to connect my laptop into the system some how because all my music is stored on my laptop and prefer to play if from there rather than a USB stick. Is this possible? I would love your advice

[@crackstar1517]

Plz put link of DJ mixer

[@adebayocrown7922]

Am a student and also an up coming DJ, don't have one of this yet, still DJING with my laptop. I'll appreciate if I can get a fairly used deck since I can't afford a new one. It's always been my dream to own one. Inbox me plss

[@zannyduko]

You forgot the part where you have to assign the player number on each CDJ!

[@HowieFacedGat0r]

can you connect multiple dj mixers to the 2 dj wheels and have a wall of mixers and 2 dj wheels?

[@konpadelic]

hey can you tell me, what are those stands you are using for the KRK monitors? brand, model? thanks

[@Rudrashivoy]

Hey kosmic , I wanna know that can I use console for hihop/rap music production.. I am a rapper n I want to make and album with my own music idea and setup.. does console help me for it ??And it works on DAW?

[@cakexbake]

ok guys.. after buying the decks, what applications do you have to get to connect to your computer...? is it fine if you never used them before?

[@FiSHY4D]

depending on what your're buying, also depends on your choice of program. your best choice to start is to get the demo of each and get a feel of the programs. Serato DJ Traktor Virtual DJ They all have demos and full versions. Also, your gear might not work with a specific program so you will want to do some research. Also do A LOT of research on the type of djing you want to do, what gear works best for that type, and what level of equipment you want to purchase. DO NOT buy the top of the line professional dj equipment if youre just starting out, you will regret it in the future.

[@cakexbake]

***** so... after buying... does serato DJ or virtual dj included?

[@cakexbake]

***** so is it ok to just buy it? Like after buying it does some cdjs support usb? and whats a timecode o.o

[@FiSHY4D]

Ben, dcj's ARE soundcards... all you need to use cdjs are the cdjs and a computer, to connect them all together you need rca cables to the mixer and ethernets connecting the cdjs to manage the files across them all (non pc use)

[@lukebrenes]

Quick question. I am starting to look into the use of CDJ's and have noticed that some people use a Serato Box. What are they used for?

[@lennyandcarl23]

They're using the CDJs as hardware controllers for Serato - in other words playing music from a laptop, but controlling (play/cue/effects) via the CDJs. Some mixers have the soundcard (which is mainly what a Serato box is) built in.

[@processor51]

Good info. Thanks.

[@philipyule1391]

Does all the equipment come within the cables ect?

[@Tcray430]

Please help!! I have the ddj sx with windows 7 using the master volume. For some reason my crossfader volume sliders only works from 0 to 1 value. Meaning, that i cant reallt turn up or lower my volume with these sliders. I can only use the trim for now. Am i doing something wrong. Help..

[@rwbmusicuk]

His hair matches the music tbf

[@deekay1135]

What are those monitor stands the Rokit 10-3's are on? I need a pair for mine.

[@TechnoMusicFreaks]

THX this video its helpful and clean :)

[@samwojchick1218]

What are some good dj softwares?

[@CyraxReece]

fantastic bro!

[@2020FIT]

if the cdj talk to the mixer for quantize effects shouldn't it have switching or ethernet port to connect all 3 together?

[@Yisugei]

How much would this set up be? I'm looking to invest ^.^ The VMS4.1 is great but im looking to expand my horizons c:

[@SuperBaconFishing]

so no lap top or serato needed?

[@Kordianstrug]

do you need RCA speakers? i have bought a Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 but i have no idea if i need the RCA speakers..

[@Talorrob]

What are the speaker stands called that the KRK 10-3's are on?

[@rmlgolf]

whats the pioneer model are you using in this video?

[@ZeTugz]

whats the difference between analog and digital connections? is there a better one to use?

[@Mjazzity]

thanks! very helpful.

[@yowbrow5128]

do you have link that 2 cdjs to amazon and that controler to?

[@luishoxha2086]

Did you use rekordbox for your usb

[@DJCesarRC]

Nice Video !

[@djbambino0.239]

Thanks, can i do the same connection with the DDJ-SX?? to use mackie speakers??

[@sachaharlan2578]

hey I have a pioneer ddj sx2 and KRK Rokit 5's. I bought an rcs cable that ends in a 3.5mm headphone jack. I've been having a lot of trouble connecting them, I think I might need an cable that ends in RCA as well as starts with it (sorry if that's not how you're meant to say it) but if someone could tell me what cable I'll need that would really help.

[@Mulyana_khaifaYt]
