+ i am on 2.5... do i need to update to 2.6?

2000s should work fine with 2.5. Make sure you have the latest CDJ firmware installed. Macs don't need drivers for the 2000s so that shouldn't be the issue, how do you have them plugged in? Are they in advanced HID mode?

Ah good stuff! Check out Endo's 2 videos (second one below), he explains everything well.

By the way, you'd be better off using the DJM-900 soundcard rather than the 2 CDJs aggregated. It probably won't be noticeable, but if you use the DJM soundcard you miss out a DA/AD conversion step. I use the digital outs on my 2000NXS to avoid that, but I don't think the digital out works when you're using it as an audio interface/controller.
