Samples on CDJ-2000
Samples on CDJ-2000 Posted on: 10.07.2013 by Jerica Salava I saw some video on Tips and Tricks on the CDJ-2000, where the guy assigned cue points to other tracks than the on that was playing. I can't find it now So let's say he was playing 50 Cent - In Da club on Deck 2 he would press hot cues 1-3 on Deck 2 and it would trigger cue points from other tracks. Let's say Hot Cue 1 was "Everybody Dance Now". Cue 2 was "hit it" etc. How do you do this again? Something to do with Rekordbox and saving it. Thanks. > | |

| Ulysses Vittetoe 11.07.2013 | If you were playing with 2 decks in traktor you wouldn't be able to call up cue points from a 3rd track, because you still only have 2 usable decks. Is that what you're trying to say? |
| Jerica Salava 11.07.2013 | so I need three $2000 decks to do what Traktor does for $89? nice. |
| Nancey Inderlied 11.07.2013 | You wouldnt be able to use the hot cues anyway, because the hot cues would switch the track... Thats why we use a second deck to layer things over... |
| Jerica Salava 11.07.2013 | i'm playing a track on CDJ #1 and I want to throw some samples over that track from some other tracks on my USB drive. I CANNOT load a HOT CUE BANK without interrupting the currently playing track. And I can't use CDJ #2 because I need it to play my next track. |

| Danae Dumler 11.07.2013 | ^^^ What he said. I'm pretty sure you can do this on a 1000 too as long as the songs are on the same CD. The 1000 even has a little SD slot or something that lets you store cue points as I recall. (You can tell I've used that feature, heh). But I was "sampling" with the CDJ-1000 mk1 when it first came out; loved that feature. |
| Nancey Inderlied 10.07.2013 | What're you on about? CDJs dont use "hot cues" in the way that a DVS does, they have 3 separate banks of ROM linked to a playhead value, that loads and arms the track and the "cue" point (this is why "auto load hot cues" is such a mess on the new decks, it was never intended to be used like that). When you "load" a hot cue onto the deck, it loads the track into the cue switch's ROM bank, thus allowing you to trigger it. The result is that you can jump in between tracks with cues, or use the ROM as a "sampler" irrespective of the loaded track (it doesn't override the current soft cue point). It's got nothing to do with RB, it's just the technology that Hot Cues were invented with, you'll notice that a loaded Hot Cue doesnt disappear until you turn the deck off or overwrite it, even if you load a new track. Hot Cue Banks are just a RB aggregate of 3 Hot Cues anywhere in your library, that you can load up with a single press, it saves you the trouble of loading and arming 3 different tracks and cues. |
| Doreen Schurle 10.07.2013 | CDJs are mental mate. |
| Jerica Salava 10.07.2013 | OH now I see. You can't load a HOT CUE BANK while a track is playing on the same player. That's the glitch. You have to load the HOT CUE BANK first. Then load the track and the HOT CUES will remain in Memory. This forces you to map out your set before you play out or you have to load you HOT CUE BANKS onto a third CDJ-2000. Kind of dumb. Oh well. |

| Lannie Kutay 10.07.2013 | i remember seeing this on the 1000, i didn't know the 2000 could do it. |
