Set up PioneerDJ DDJ-200 for Macbook without Splitter Cable. Use your mac's speakers as booth output

You do not need a splitter cable. Just your Macbook, your headphones and DDJ-200 are all you need to do DJing anywhere you want.
For Windows, you will need to use a driver called ASIO4ALL. Once you choose ASIO4ALL as the audio output in rekordbox preference, you should be able to find ASIO4ALL icon in the tray bar where you can configure sound output.

goated vid frfr helped me ALOT! I dont understand how this is the only helpful video I stumble across explaining how i can listen to the track on the other deck with headphones,being new in this scene i found it really hard to get the knowledge

[@miyaosource]

Find on your DDJ200, in the middle, you should find a section titled "HEADPHONES". Try pushing on MASTER, cue 1 ~ 2 buttons to switch what you can hear on your headphones.

MR MIYAO YOU SAVED MY CAREER! I WAS SO SAD UNTIL I FOUND YOUR VIDEO, YOU ARE AN ANGEL

[@rahulchugani1]

Amazing, thanks so much for this helpful tutorial!!

[@paolaramos8791]

When I go to switch my input record to aggregate device the input deck 1 appears blank instead of showing MASTER OUT

[@miyaosource]

Is the Mixer Mode set to "Internal"?

[@MatsKraakman]

Hi, when i did all the steps in the midi control. I went to open rekb. When i wanna choose phone for the output its not showing up. Its just saying i can choose between input 1,2,3 or 4 wtf!

[@miyaosource]

Do you mean "input 1,2,3 or 4 " in the pull down menu?

[@GYTTY34]

Can you do this the same and send the sound via bluetootth to the external speakers?

[@miyaosource]

In theory yes, but you will have a problem with latency. The sound you hear will not match with that you see on screen and that you hear on your headphones. Please let me know how it goes.

It wooooorked !!! THANK YOUUUUUU so so much bro !

[@miyaosource]

Glad to hear that it worked. Enjoy :)

[@elgarg0la.m1a]

Hello, thanks for the help, but when i get to the last step of updating the output channels in preferences, the only options are output 1 or output 2 and not the aggregate devices. I am on a macbook air. Any advice?

[@miyaosource]

You need to give an exact name, "Aggregate Device" (case sensitive) in the Audio MIDI Setup app. Can you check up on that?

[@elgarg0la.m1a]

@@miyaosource yes its exactly like that and case sensitive

[@alexandrehenault6894]

Many thanks for this ! One question : if you connect your headphones to the jack plug, how can you then play your mac’s sound on external speakers ? Using the split cable or linking usbc to speakers ?

[@miyaosource]

This video shows you how to output cue to the headphones and the master output to the internal speaker.

You will probably be able to connect to BT speakers but you might be annoyed by delayed sound outpu (latency issue).

Hello! Just wondering if there’s a way to use the “master” headphone button on the controller? I’ve played with settings but can get it to work. The cue for deck 1 and 2 work fine but for some reason I can’t get master output to my headphones

Sorry for a late response. You mean, the cue / master button? Could you check up the page 123 of this manual? cdn.rekordbox.com/files/20200323144552/rekordbox6.0.0_manual_EN.pdf

[@TheCheesyFingers007]

thank you so much.

[@msmohit3228]

Bro can i use ddj 200 with heavy DJ setup and heavy full vollium?

[@miyaosource]

The sound comes from your computer because DDJ has no audio output or input. So the sound quality depends on your computer. Please be reminded that DDJ-200 is just a controller with less controllable features than other DDJs. One of few advantages over other controllers is that it is very compact.

[@huilamman6790]

I've followed the tutorial, however when I choose the aggregate device, the whole output channel settings changes to output deck 1,2,3,4. So, the headphones output option and booth output option are gone. Any help with this?

Great Video! Thank you for this. I am having one issue, when I play the tracks I have no control over the gain and they're all clipping. Would you know how to fix it??

[@miyaosource]

Hi! I do not know why you have no control over gain. But as for clipping, did you check up your Buffer Size? If the buffer size is too small, it tends to clip more often.

[@kallziToOo]

How can I control the volume from the MacBook Pro? I followed all steps but I can not control the volume coming out from the MacBook Pro

[@miyaosource]

Hi, can you try choosing "Macbook Pro Speakers" as the Output in the Sound settings of your Mac's System Settings? You should now be able to control the sound level from your keyboard.

[@francisgraham7168]

I wonder if you use the controller plugged into mac book headphones into headphone jack for cue and sound out of bluetooth speaker..this possible?

[@miyaosource]

It should be possible but you might suffer from delayed sound output from the bluetooth speaker, which makes difficult to do mix (beat matching) with headphones. The delay may be negligibly short. The safest is to test first.
