Can traktor Pro be used with Pioneer CDJ’s?
I’m looking to get a pair of CDJ’s.. Pioneer 1000’s… i know i can use them with scratch live, but how do i use them with traktor?
i think scratch only buz
Depends exactly how you want to use them, maybe you could be more specific
If i’m not mistaken the 800s and 1000s r set up for midi already. so, yes.
At the very least i know they would work with traktor scratch pro.
why you would wanted to use them with traktor? 
the 800s and 1000s do no have midi Aiden. You may be thinking of the DJM-800 and DJM-1000 mixer.
You can absolutely use the decks with traktor if you’re using scratch pro. You can so use traktor’s audio input to get audio from a CD to pass through into traktor. This can be neet for doing send/return effect type stuff.
It just all depends as to what you’re doing or rather, trying to do.
Like Moniker said, the Pioneer mixers DJM- 800 and DJM- 1000 have, somewhat strange, MIDI functionality. (No MIDI Learn if I am correct)
The CDJ-800 and CDJ-1000 still have no MIDI.The CDJ-400 however does.
So for you to use Traktor Pro you’d need the CDJ400s.
In case of the CDJ-1000s you already own, you’d need a copy of Traktor Scratch Pro.
Wait does that mean I can not use Pioneer CDJ800 MK2 (DJM 400 also) with traktor scratch pro? I am having such difficulty trying to set it up.
You can with time code cd’s, but you’ll have no midi functionality.
why did it take til post 9 for this to get mentioned? more importantly, why did it take a year and a half?
I’m not quite sure what that means - will i be able to use all the functions of the cdjs and mixer?
now all i need is someone to help me get it set uphaha.. i have it plugged in and it is reading it etc.. but can’t get the buttons to function and wheel to be used for scratching/beatmatching etc… ANY HELP is appreciated!!!
Hahahahaha
buy traktor scratch with timecode cds, hook the cdjs to the mixer, via audio4 or 8 soundcard. put the discs in the cdjs, press play. that’s a very dumbed down version
I’m pretty sure the answer to your question is no, not the way you want to use it.
I have the time code cd’s.. tried what you said and none of the buttons/pad are being recognized by the software
it doesn’t recognise the buttons of the cdj, it recognises the timecode signal, and controls the music that way. have you got the decks in traktor set up correctly? have you got the dvs related settings correct? what version have you got? have you read the manual?
You can’t use timecode CD’s with Traktor Pro. You have to have Traktor Scratch for that
lol all this pro/scratch differences… i have traktor scratch pro and just got back from work and will prob spend the rest of the night working on it. i’ll let you know if i figured it out or if i come to another standstill thanks for the input so far.
photodojo - was that directed towards me?
*i guess my general question is will i eventually be able to get my cdj800 mk2s and djm400 to work on traktor the same way they would work on serato? I really don’t want to have to shell out another 400 for serato
I’m sorry I thought you wanted to use Traktor Pro with time code CD’s. I’ll defer your questions to those with more knowledge on the subject. 
EDIT: LOL now I get the confusion, two people with two different questions.
I have a setup using Traktor Scratch Pro (TSP), 2 CDJ-800’s, DJM-600, and a Kontrol X1. I use an AUDIO4 for the ext. sound card. You never mentioned a sound card. Which do you have? I can help if you need…
