**Eight tips and tricks for the CDJ-2000 (nexus)**

I wanted to release that video before the CDJ 2000 nexus release but Pioneer beat me to it.

Most people on here know the stuff I show in the video. It’s mostly for people who are too lazy reading the manual but there also might be some gold in there with undocumented stuff.

That last point isn’t actually that useless. If you have a track on an album, by a certain artist, or in a certain BPM (or any tag in for really), and want to find a track with a matching tag, just select the tag from the Link Status screen, and click on it, the same way you would from the info screen.

E.G. If I had a track off of Blackout playing, and I wanted to grab another track off of it, instead of going Click click click back to Root-\>Album-\>Blackout. You would just hit Info-\>Menu-\>Blackout.
