I finally got my first club gig after 8 years of being a mobile DJ. and I could really use some advice mainly on set up. Have searched many videos and tried looking at threads. At home I use two CDJ 2000's and the traktor z2. Use to have a DJM 900. The Club I am booked at has two CDJ 2000 Nexus and a DJM 900. I used to own a DJM 900 so I still have the utility installed. Its version 1.3
I have a few concerns, Will my laptop sync flawlessly via HID with the CDJ 2000 nexus at the club or do I need to install all the drivers etc for them on my laptop? I only own the 2000 at home. I only have 1 hour of soundcheck before I go on as i am opening till 11:30
My second concern is the other DJ uses serato. from what I've seen. When I dj at home I link the two CDJ's via USB to the Z2 mixer then the mixer to my laptop. The club uses the djm 900. With only 1 usb hub. Since I'm going first I don't think this will be a problem I can bring a usb stick and play a song or two from there. I'm assuming I will need a powered USB hub to link the two CDJ's and the mixer to my laptop correct? I've never used serato will I be a nuisance to the other DJ? Will he have to unplug all his stuff just so i can use traktor?
This is all new to me. My main concern is will my laptop link up to those Nexus CDJ's since I have never plugged one into my laptop.
any info and or tips would be so appreciated
