Ok so you have all you need, if you have an audio 4 or an audio 8.
Here’s how you do it.
Hook up the cdj’s to the inputs on the audio4/8.
Hook up the outputs on the audio4/8 to the inputs on your mixer.
Start TSP.
Open the settings(buy clicking the big gear in the top right).
Click “Audio Setup”, Select your audio4/8.
Click “Output Routing”, Click “External”, Select your outs for decks A&B.
Click “Input Routing”, Select your inputs for A&B.
Click “Timecode Setup”, on the audio4/8 input mode select, “Timecode CD/LINE”

This should take care of everything. And you should be able to start playing.

Amen Drew! I was going to do this, but it was tough without my setup in front of me…You beat me to it!

23

amazing. now i just got to figure out what all these buttons do haha

seriously thanks again! i appreciate all the quick replies!

24

Zdubs, don’t expect any of your mixer buttons to control anything in traktor…if that’s what you meant. I recently got an X1, and I love the setup even MORE! navigation, and efx from Traktor KICK ASS!

25

how is it with the X1?

i was thinking of getting scratch pro with my cdj 400s

is timecode better an have the same feel as using normal cds?

:smiley::smiley:

Sorry to thread hijack:open_mouth:…The X1 is great. I’ve only used it for a few days so far…Navigation, hot cues, EFFECTS! I’ve been so inspired by DJTT, and it’s community. I’m working on my transitions since I mainly spin Hip Hop, R&B, and Reggae, but it’s working out fine. Timecode is just as good as CD in my experience with it…actually better, since I don’t have to lug around a case of cd’s. Now I just bring 6-10 “just in case” MP3 Discs that I have yet to use. I’m really happy with the X1. I’ve been on CDJ’s since 2001, so my setup is working out fine. I just want a smaller mixer to carry around now…

One vital bit i cant see posted is that you need to use the Input Selectors underneath the DECK letters A & B. Select Scratch Control.

28

Oh yeah, and click the icon next to the play button that doesn’t have the tonearm.

29

unless you get a midi mixer, run traktor scratch on internal mode, and route the internal master from traktor through soundcard

weren’t there big fuss about Pioneer CDJs not working fine with traktor DVS? i heard something like cue play button has half a second response time and whatnot…

31

The timecode was revised to fix that delay. The wavs are available to download.

I know this will be a very noob question but ı would like to ask something.

I have Traktor Pro 2.5 and a Traktor Audio 2 . I generally play soul music which means ı dont use effects or nothing.I just match the beat ( ı have to say sometimes sync button ) and then used the cross fader or volume faders.What ı would like to do is ı want to play in this club which has the setup of 4 channel mixer of American Audio and 2 cdj 1000 mk3’s.Do ı have to have a TSP for using them :disappointed: and a audio 4 or 6 ? or how can ı use my traktor pro 2.5 with them .

I know very bad and noob question but ı want to ask here because in pioneer dj forums someone says yes and someone says no.Thats why ı dont understand.

Thnx very much

Bump !!

Run your outputs from the Audio 2 to an open channel on the hardware mixer and you’ll have the two CDJ’s and decks from Traktor to mix with.

If you’re wanting to use the CDJ’s to control Traktor then yes, you’ll need Traktor Scratch Pro (Timecode CD’s, cables, Audio 4/6/8/10)
