Hello Everybody,
The Venue I started playing lately does have 2 XDJ-800 and a Pioneer Mixer.
By now I always took my XDJ-R1 with me and played either from CDs or used it to control Virtual DJ.
This way of working is cool for me but does implement that I have to carry my heavy bag with the XDJ-R1 for each gig + My Backpack with the Notebook which is stupid as there are those 2 Players there that could be Setup by the owner easily.
I tried to find some tutorials which would help me to find out how to connect those Players with my Laptop and to use them as Controller for Virtual DJ (my favorite Software by now) or Traktor (which I also own but doesn't make me as happy as VDJ. (Very subjective Point of view)
If I could use those Players to control my VDJ I would be really happy and could walk to the Gig with just Notebook, Headphones and maybe Sticks.
Does anyone of you a good Video Tutorial or a good Website that Shows me how to set it up?
I'm pretty new to Controllerism...played all my gigs with CDs for the last 17 years (until May 2017) but I finally made the Change lately.
To be honnest there's no big issue by now, VDJ is pleasant to me and changing my Habits playing with those Mediaplayers would certainly be a certain challenge now that I found out how to handle it with my XDJ-R1 the way it is comfy for me....but being over 40, having to carry less weight is also a big Topic
So any of your help is welcome, but please don't start with "Why don't you use Rekordbox/Traktor/etc..." as Traktor is only an Option if VDJ isn't possible and Rekordbox is not an Option to me (I have my reasons and don't wanna explain it. So I just wanna know:
1. is it possible to use those Players as Controller
2. Link to Tutorial?
Thanx in advance
