CDJ-2000 nexus.. any tips for counting bars/phrases? Posted on: 23.03.2013 by Kandis Smollen Hey guys, so I LOVE my new CDJ-2000 nexus setup, yet I'm having some difficulty in counting bars/phrases with the on-screen LCD..I come from a Traktor background where it's ridiculously easy to see changes in the waveform with tools like the Infrared Spectrum which shows which parts of the wave have bass, etc.. Also, the wave would be much bigger and easier to navigate on Traktor VS on the CDJ's.. on Traktor, all my timing and phrasing was perfect, but I'm just having trouble figuring out a good way to do my counting/timing on the CDJ's.. I know that you can save up to 10 memory points on the song, and the CDJ display will show a "bar countdown" in between memory points, indicating how far you are from the next memory point.. but without having to go through the tedious work of entering in a memory point at every single change in the song, do you guys have any better recommendations? Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated! | |
| Venetta Cawyer 24.03.2013 | Lip, By now you've created at least half a dozen threads asking extremely basic questions. At first I helped you, so did a lot of other folks, but by now it comes across as plain laziness. You don't want to read manuals, you don't want to google, you don't even bother trying your gear before posting another thread. You don't even want to set memories in RekordBox. There is even an app on OSX that can convert your Traktor cues to Rekordbox cues and you didn't bother to look for that. You simply posted another thread. Why in Gods name did you buy your kit? |
| Delfina Suedmeyer 24.03.2013 | especially with house music. its really easy to count. its all about training your ear and knowing the fundamentals. have to remember, djs 10-15 years ago didnt have a screen to tell them anything. man, talking about this makes me feel old. that, and probably cause technology is moving wayyyy too fast. |

| Tesha Freudenstein 23.03.2013 | i am slowly starting to believe OP is trolling with the amount of threads he started recently, or he just didn't bother learning any of the basics. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 23.03.2013 | Traktor cannot countdown phrases without set cuepoints so I don't see how you can expect the CDJs to do so. You have the flashing phrase meter at the top which should be enough, otherwise just set cuepoints for your playlist beforehand. |
| Tamela Batara 23.03.2013 | Can you count to 4? Do that. 1,2,3,4, 2,2,3,4, 3,2,3,4, 4,2,3,4... |
