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

Thnx very much
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)

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

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

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

Sorry to thread hijack...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...

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

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.

I have a setup using Traktor Scratch Pro (TSP), 2 CDJ-800's, DJM-600, and a Kontrol X1. I use an AUDIO4 for the ext. sound card. You never mentioned a sound card. Which do you have? I can help if you need...

EDIT: LOL now I get the confusion, two people with two different questions.
Edmund Abbink
20.07.2010
lol all this pro/scratch differences.... i have traktor scratch pro and just got back from work and will prob spend the rest of the evening working on it. i'll let you know if i figured it out or if i come to another standstill thanks for the input so far.

photodojo - was that directed towards me?
*i guess my general question is will i eventually be able to get my cdj800 mk2s and djm400 to work on traktor the same way they would work on serato? I really don't want to have to shell out another 400 for serato

You can't use timecode CD's with Traktor Pro. You have to have Traktor Scratch for that

it doesn't recognise the buttons of the cdj, it recognises the timecode signal, and controls the music that way. have you got the decks in traktor set up correctly? have you got the dvs related settings correct? what version have you got? have you read the manual?

I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is no, not the way you want to use it.

buy traktor scratch with timecode cds, hook the cdjs to the mixer, via audio4 or 8 soundcard. put the discs in the cdjs, press play. that's a very dumbed down version

Wait does that mean I can not use Pioneer CDJ800 MK2 (DJM 400 also) with traktor scratch pro? I am having such difficulty trying to set it up.

Like Moniker said, the Pioneer mixers DJM- 800 and DJM- 1000 have, somewhat strange, MIDI functionality. (No MIDI Learn if I am correct)

The CDJ-800 and CDJ-1000 still have no MIDI.The CDJ-400 however does.

So for you to use Traktor Pro you'd need the CDJ400s.
In case of the CDJ-1000s you already own, you'd need a copy of Traktor Scratch Pro.
Yuonne Cauthron

the 800s and 1000s do no have midi Aiden. You may be believeing of the DJM-800 and DJM-1000 mixer.
-----
You can absolutely use the decks with traktor if you're using scratch pro. You can so use traktor's audio input to get audio from a CD to pass through into traktor. This can be neet for doing send/return effect type stuff.

It just all depends as to what you're doing or rather, trying to do.
Lamonica Rockholt
03.03.2009
why you would wanted to use them with traktor?
Alex Mayer
02.03.2009
If i'm not mistaken the 800s and 1000s r set up for midi already. so, yes.

At the very least i know they would work with traktor scratch pro.
Xavier Emanuels

Depends exactly how you want to use them, maybe you could be more specific
