cdj 2000 + 900 nexcus traktor setup
sooo… i have all this lovely gear
set up the 900 nexcus with ease but my mac cannot see the 2000’s
has anyone had these problems and can help… using them tomorrow night??? maybe
- i am on 2.5… do i need to update to 2.6?
2000s should work fine with 2.5. Make sure you have the latest CDJ firmware installed. Macs don’t need drivers for the 2000s so that shouldn’t be the issue, how do you have them plugged in? Are they in advanced HID mode?

ok… so… i have got to selecting HID standard.. but i get USB MIDI and then no options
i am thinking just using my midifighters
ok i am a loser… sorted
thank you
Oops sorry that was an out of date setup guide. Follow the Dubspot guide here:
Ah good stuff! Check out Endo’s 2 videos (second one below), he explains everything well.
By the way, you’d be better off using the DJM-900 soundcard rather than the 2 CDJs aggregated. It probably won’t be noticeable, but if you use the DJM soundcard you miss out a DA/AD conversion step. I use the digital outs on my 2000NXS to avoid that, but I don’t think the digital out works when you’re using it as an audio interface/controller.
yea man… using the nexus soundcard out… the reason shit did not work was because i did not have traktor open … loser
Wow… yeh that’ll stop it working!
on another note… can i run 1200 timecode thru the nexcus?? if so… 
happy days
Assuming you have a scratch licence, then yes. The nexus sound card is traktor scratch certified.
nice.. setting it up now
woop… how amazing is the nexus… i broke my audio 6 and now my turntables have be resurrected!!!
Do you need TS Pro to use HID mode?
No, scratch licences are only needed for timecode.
Sweet, thanks FEP!
