Got a set of cdj 850’s the other day and have been loving them. Been mixing off cds and usb memory sticks.
However I have been having problems getting them hooked up with traktor. I have tried setting them up with timecode, and with HID/MIDI. Timecode’s lag was almost unbearable, and HID/MIDI wouldn’t work.
I’m struggling to find any good help on the web getting these bad boys setup with traktor . It seems all the good tutorials on the web are all about the 900’s and the 2000’s .
I tried to use pioneer’s 850 mapping and assigned the midi channels to 1 and 2 , but wasn’t getting any sort of reaction in traktor. I’m not sure what else to do , I’m feeling a bit lost as cdj’s are very new to me.
I’m really keen to get these set up along with my djm 400 with traktor asap, so any help would be appreciated!
Check pioneers forums. I believe they have a write up and they have written a specific app on how to aggregate the sound cards correctly (assuming a MacBook of course).
I’ve spent a good while trying to get this to work, and i can’t
I’ve got it set up just like how you say and still not getting anything out of the mixer.
Do i have to change anything on the mixer , or do i have to change any preferences inside traktor ? i’ve tried setting it on external mixing and still had nothing.
Maybe switch the line/phono (aka transform) switch on your mixer? It might be set to phono (turntables) by default, and I believe you want it on “line”.
