How to Record your Mix to s USB stick on the Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ

[@mccrates]

So glad I made the decision to get this. Greatest gear kit for any DJ that went on hiatus and wants back in the game.

[@DJ_Joe_DC]

I agree , it’s what I done ✅

[@RobC1]

Great thanks. Straight to the point and exactly what I needed

[@dhusksound]

thanks for the quick, concise tutorial my man! legend

[@SqueekyWorm]

This video came in clutch, thank you so much.

[@TheDJLab]

Glad to help

[@LookInDJProduction]

Can be the stic for recording with tracks you play from it , or empty ? Or what Formate? ( fat 32 , ? ) Thx

[@majorleaguelag]

Is there a way I can see the recordings onto rekordbox

[@matteobellani3423]

i've recorded to my USB, and i can play it back on my XDJ-RR but there isn't a wav file i can play back when i look at the usb on my computer. anyone know what to do?

[@jorgeluisalcalahope30]

SAME

[@nicholassurber7494]

Great video! Thank you very much for posting!

[@AlienFm1]

Question after loading said tracks from stick can stick be removed and tracks still played. lets say yo have various Sticks that you want to load up and Mix down?

[@karennoid]

I'm having an issue where it stopped recording after 30 min, is there a setting I need to adjust?

[@petrus7818]

Thanks for the video, does this work on the XDJ-RX2 too?

[@deejaydannyj5621]

I’ve seen a few people asking so I’ll ask, would I have to format the usb to “fat 32” first or can I plug new usb in and just record ?

[@jakiyahcabell]

do you need two USBs to do this or just one?

[@DJLEOdamadprofessor]

I’d love to get an XZ I just think I should wait for the xz2 cause the rx2 and bow rx3 are amazing for my uses but I kinda want those 4 channels for hand offs

[@adamdjxclusivesa8191]

I just purchased my XZ and it’s really cool! I wish the screen was more HD but it works. I have my SRT1000 and this XZ too. It’s heavy with a case is the only bad thing. If the XZ2 launches I’ll sell mine and get it. Cheers!!

[@DJLEOdamadprofessor]

@@adamdjxclusivesa8191 I k ow it’s good but feels so dated with that small screen and it’s not even that small but everything else in that price is way better. Perhaps if I can land a used one it’s be a no brainer till number 2 comes out!

[@painfromabove]

2 years later and still no xz2 lol bought a xz last year and its so worth it!

[@neurosick]

idk if you're aware, but the "XZ2" which is the XDJ-AZ recently launched and it does whatever you said !

[@canyoncroft6026]

What kind of USB do you have in USB 2? My all in one freezes everytime I load a song on the second deck

[@eduardcos696]

Cahul House Mafia rocks :)

[@huskiwyt]

does this work if I only have one USB and plug it in to USB 2?

[@AndreuC93]

Thank you! I was trying on USB1 and I wasn't getting why it didn't record hahah

[@jaded9886]

Hi can you help on XDJ RR I do all of this, but it says dj Rec folder empty! Please help

[@DJCuT2008]

I have to format the usb with a pc or in rekordbox ? I just buy a new stick, and no way to record :(

[@djsly5726]

How do you record a set when there’s 2 dj’s playing back2back? I don’t think that’s possible.

[@TheDJLab]

Plug one into extra channel. It will. Record line input

[@nofood1]

@@TheDJLab the what?

[@henrykramer390]

Does this work for recording streaming services like SoundCloud tracks?

[@bradleyhorwood3273]

Does this work on the RX2??

[@curre039]

how can i choose the usb to record?

[@Itsmax717]

so the RX3 has a feature to not have the mic input record to the master record. Does the xz has this feature somewhere? I can't find it in the settings.

[@harveyharris9409]

I’ve tried this but my master rec button does not respond when I click it and it says my device not responding any idea why?

[@LucasIlluminates]

Hi i tried recording a mix that recorded but with no sound. I had no speakers plug in only running through headphones so for both channels i was using the cuebutton to hear in headphones etc. Could this be why it didnt record sound output?

[@TheDJLab]

Did you have the volume faders up

[@earpsyy7627]

Does this now save to my usb?

[@TheDJLab]

Yes

[@Essential-Electronic-Music]

Tracks mark splits recorded file at the place where you pressed it. It's all it does, at least that's in the manual, never tried it myself :)

[@dannyprice6046]

Can you do this on xdj 700s??

[@TheDJLab]

No

[@jplatt83]

I have the XZ and love it! The sound quality on the mixes are amazing. Is the XZ2 official yet or just rumor mill? I don’t think they would change much. Maybe bigger 3000 screen and 4 channel use.

[@TheDJLab]

You'll never see 4 channel dual layer standalone. There's no xz2 and won't be anytime this year

[@jplatt83]

@@TheDJLab isn’t the denon 4 a true 4 channel?

[@jeramiahcarr2651]

Any tips on getting the levers correct on mixes using the USB without having to volume boost in a secondary software??

[@drewblanche]

Interesting that you said it records in wave. Do you know how to easily covert it to mp3 via Mac?

[@TheDJLab]

Very

[@ReeceCooper98]

i’ve just recorded a mix via the XZ itself but i cannot seem to find the recording on the USB when i plug it into my computer? any help with this?

[@TheDJLab]

Should be a folder called Pioneer DJ REC

[@meinfreundfranz]

You should use the stick once with recordbox. Just plug in, open record box, maybe export a random Playlist and put the usb out in recordbox. Should work then. Did for me :)

Thanks for the video, although I have a problem. When I’m listening back to the recording, I notice that when playing two tracks at the same time, one gets noticible lower in volume. This doesnt happen when I’m listening while I’m mixing. Any ideas would be welcome! 😊

[@nctamusic1315]

Maybe that’s because of your volume trim knob?

[@Magicalmusicmix1]

I have this problem too. Did you find a solution?

How do you record a set if there's a dj playing before me, so I'm not going to have access to both USBs?

Thank you! Also did you end up finding out what the track mark was for and how we can use it? Super easy to understand video, cheers :)

Does it also work with an external hard drive instead of a usb?

Yes

Track IDs please ❤😂 nice Tutorial man

[@RazielFallen2991]

Does it record even if you’re streaming from SoundCloud?

[@austinlaspinas2786]

nope, I tried it. I will only record files that you have on your drive

[@JesseBarronn]

soooooo with this method, I can buy a streaming platform and record all the songs I want for free???

[@heyjjules]

Is there any way to change file format / quality (for example mp3 or less quality, lighter files...)

[@TheDJLab]

No

[@i7abella]

Thank you!🙏🏻

[@tommyfeinstoff]

Guys somehow when recording to usb it clips. When checking the recording later in audacity it shows a clipped signal. The master is super low though. Any ideas anyone? Please help.

So once I filled a USB and it stopped recording after 30 mins. Had no idea it had stopped. Now it just gives me USB error when I put in a new stick. And now unable to record. Watch out for this issue people. Will do a reset and see where we're at.
