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]

[@alice10888]

Nice job on the tutorial. Thanks.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@DreadlockDrummer]

this was very helpful! thanks!

[@lornaskelly3945]

so cool x

[@morenaso1]

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

[@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

[@Mulyana_khaifaYt]

waw cooll tips DJ...

[@crackstar1517]

In description

[@aduytato]

nice !

[@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

[@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.

[@sikanderdjjalalabad5373]

Good

[@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?

[@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

[@uberraschungsei6198]

thanks

[@ABRATPITI]

THANK YOU !! men :)

[@tannerjames314]

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

[@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

[@konpadelic]

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

[@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.

[@crux6331]

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

[@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 ;)

[@deekay1135]

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

[@MooseCannon]

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

[@tomaszleszczuk7054]

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

[@dfcvda]

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

[@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

[@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 👍

[@jabwana9946]

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

[@CzechRiot]

same here...

[@rmlgolf]

whats the pioneer model are you using in this video?

[@2020FIT]

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

[@djbambino0.239]

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

[@HowieFacedGat0r]

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

[@viorelgalan7913]

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

[@OlympusHeavyCavalry]

Gone are the days when Vinyl was used. :)

[@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..

[@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..

[@SpencerT4ken]

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

[@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?

[@yowbrow5128]

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

[@TidddyHD]

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

[@samwojchick1218]

What are some good dj softwares?

[@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.

[@luishoxha2086]

Did you use rekordbox for your usb

[@ZeTugz]

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

[@blakecharlwood5569]

With the first bit does it matter witch end goes in first

[@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.

[@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...

[@sasookarry]

[@younespunk]

[@avirajnaik9094]

APC40CPA this can b done by DJ mixer dude....not the what you are saying😂😂
