    Default CDJ2000 HID mode on a hub?

    So I heard a nasty rumor that CDJ2000's will not work in HID mode with traktor over a usb hub.

    Does anyone know if this is true?


    What about the sound card in the DJM900? I know it's never a good idea to use a sound card over a hub, but would it work?

    What kind of difference in latency would you end up with?

    CDJs work fine through this little hub:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005GLDAVE
    and a generic no-brand hub I've had for years.

    Testing the DJM900 now.

    Edit: All working fine with 2 CDJs and the DJM through the hub I linked, on my Windows desktop. Latency seems normal at 192 samples/4.4ms latency

    Great news. Thank you sir!

    Does anyone know if maybe the CDJ2000 nexus doesn't work with a hub? Or is the rumor I heard just completely erroneous?

    The HID mode of the Nexus is pretty much identical to the 2000Mk1 so I don't see why it wouldn't. The drivers are also the same AFAIK?

    yeah it would be strange if there were a difference.



    But am I safe to assume you have used a hub for a pair of 2000's for full sets and nothing messed up?

    I had the hub linked above hooked up to a friend's Mac for a gig last week and everything worked smoothly. Also, my CDJs are permanently linked to my desktop via a hub built into my monitor and they've always worked fine.
