DJM 700 with Traktor 2.6 pro Posted on: 20.03.2013 by Ana Butt Hi there, I want to ask, do I have to use atleast Traktor Audio 2 to connect DJM 700 to work with traktor? I bought Numark DJ Io which is 2 channel output, its ok 2 channels is all I need, but it seems doesn't work at all with DJm 700 o.O So any suggestions how do i connect DJm 700 to traktor? I believe traktor audio 2 supports midi, and numark dj io doesnt.

Ana Butt 22.03.2013	Originally Posted by xs2man That will likely do it, yes. Probably overkill on the speakers & amp, and being so cheap, will no doubt sound absolutely terrible, but it'll get you going at least.

Ana Butt 20.03.2013	Originally Posted by haze324 Just as long as they are "powered" or "active" speakers. This means they have a built in amp. Do you have a stereo at home or a surround sound system that has RCA "in". I used to plug into a home stereo before I picked up some monitors. It worked. You have a really nice set up. I'd try to get by on a cheap stereo system until you can get some good monitors. You'll enjoy what you have much more that way. Sure thing! dont have home cinema, or anything of RCA nature, ill probably get some speaker set-up with amp included down the shop that I always buy my gear from and it should do

Ana Butt 20.03.2013	Originally Posted by xs2man If your on a budget just now, don't spend money on something that will just need replaced later, or can't be used in another capacity further down the line. You have best of gear CDJ's, so will eventually want to get a good system set up for it. In the meantime, this will do : http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/panason....html#longDesc Cheap, reasonable power, multi purpose. You wouldn't want to use it as a permanent fixture for DJ-ing maybe, but it will do a while in the meantime, and can be used elsewhere in the house further down the line for simple music playback, without spending a fortune. So RCA cables to MASTER 2 on DJM700 will work then?
Julissa Serrone 20.03.2013	Originally Posted by MockusD Thought of some small PA system http://www.electroniccentre.co.uk/so...speakers-pair/ Will it work if I just use RCA cables for speakers in MASTER 2 on djm 700 ? No you don't want those. 12 inch speakers for home use is overkill.....also, I don't believe those are powered speakers, meaning they don't have an amplifier. For home use I would get something like this: http://www.electroniccentre.co.uk/dj...udio-monitors/ I have M-Audio B8XA and they are plenty loud with good low end.

Ana Butt 22.03.2013	Thank you for your opinions!

Tamela Batara 22.03.2013	Ha ha ha. Probably. Check my edit though. That would be MUCH better for home use

EDIT: Them speakers will be dreadful for home use. These speakers would be MUCH better for home use: http://www.superfi.co.uk/p-3347-tann...kers-pair.aspx But then you would need to mate them up with a suitable Amp. Something like this: http://www.superfi.co.uk/p-10557-pio...amplifier.aspx That would make a great home set-up, and sound WAY better than that KAM set-up. Maybe not as loud if you were needing to fill a hall with sound or something, but MUCH nicer in the home.
Ana Butt 22.03.2013	I'm driving down the shop tomorrow, so this will do? http://www.electroniccentre.co.uk/pr...eaker-Kit.html EDIT so was believeing getting those speakers for home use

Latoria Kavulich 20.03.2013	traktor must be in external mode.

Ana Butt 20.03.2013	So with RCA cables wont do? Which ones M-Audio from that shop would do? Because I'm kinda on budget now would only be able to get one KRK if barelly

Tamela Batara 20.03.2013	Almost. As makar1 said, you still need to output Traktor decks C & D to your mixer if you want to hear your remix decks, so you still need the Numark IO hooked up. Using an F1 entirely to control FX seems a little overkill to me, but if that's what you want to do, then you probably only need one output from the PC > IO > Mixer. Personally I'd look for a mapping that allows you to control a remix deck and FX per F1, or one like that, and another controlling a track deck and FX, so you have 4 available sources regardless. You don't need a proper PA system. A pair of KRK Rokits, or Pioneer Monitors would be more than good enough for a home set-up. I use a 20 year old NAD stereo amplifier and 15 year old Wharfdale speakers for my home set-up, so you don't need to be spending serious amounts of coin there either. And if you want to record your mixes, the easiest way / cheapest way is to connect your rec out from the DJM to your microphone socket on your PC, then record in Audacity or similar.
Alphonso Deitchman 20.03.2013	Do you really need a PA system at home? You still need the DJ IO if you want to use a Remix deck too.
Ana Butt 20.03.2013	Originally Posted by xs2man Ok. That's a lot of coin in gear to not have a clue what your doing. CDJ's get plugged via USB to PC. Then via RCA to Mixer. Probably best using channels 2 and 3 for this, depending on how you want your set up. For example, I would want it looking like this: Remix Deck (F1) -> CDJ -> Mixer -> CDJ -> FX (F1) So you have Traktor decks A and B controlled by the CDJ's, through channels 2 & 3 on your mixer. Then you plug your F1's into your laptop, and your IO into your mixers 1 & 4 channels. So you have 4 RCA's going to your mixer. One for each channel. Then you need to connect your DJM's Master Out to some speakers / Amplifier. Otherwise you will get no sound at all. It sounds to me like you want your mixer to control Traktors internal mixer. This won't happen with the soundcard you have, and your DJM is better than that anyway, so forget that idea. Basically just plug the mixer into a stereo or amplifier and you should get sound out. You have no sound being output from the mixer currently, and that's why you hear nothing. Best reply ever! So then this weekend I'll have to give another drive to shop to get some PA speakers, it is actually hard earned money for me, and I thought it would of been rather more less complicated to connect whole set up than it already is, so basically if I want to control 2 channels I dont need that soundcard? I'm using one F1 mapped for FX unit and another one for remix deck so this is pretty straight forward, you are right, I wanted to use djm 700 as traktor internal mixer, but now I do realise, that going externally is better, and when i connect speakers to mixer and use it as you said, i will be able to control music thats playing in traktor? so if I want use 2 channels I connect cdj's to mixer through RCA's (let say 1 and 2 channel) and then connect CDJ's via USB to laptop to control in traktor? and PA system to mixer and i be ready to go?

Alphonso Deitchman 20.03.2013	He's using Remix decks too, that's what the DJ IO is connected for.
Julissa Serrone 20.03.2013	Originally Posted by MockusD Ech, I thought it would be simple as that actually, bought them, I dont believe I need connect my CDJ's to mixer, unless I want to use rekordbox you have to connect the CDJ's. They are the soundcards you are using for Decks A and B.
Julissa Serrone 20.03.2013	Ok man. 1. Looks like you have your soundcard RCA's plugged into channels A and B (1 and 2). You need to plug in the CDJ RCA cables to channels A and B, that's how you have it set up in Traktor. Decks C and D (3 and 4) are your soundcard. Those CDJ's have built in soundcards....there's no need for an extra soundcard if you are just controlling two decks. So plug the CDJ's RCA cables into the mixers channel 1 and 2. Also flip the switch on your first channel to CD. 2. Plug in your speakers to the mixer!!!! You won't hear anything if you don't. Nothing will come out of you computer. You have XLT master out and also Master 2 with is RCA plugs. you should try looking up some youtube videos. This is basic knowledge you will want to know.
Ana Butt 20.03.2013	Ech, I thought it would be simple as that actually, bought them, I dont believe I need connect my CDJ's to mixer, unless I want to use rekordbox
Alphonso Deitchman 20.03.2013	How did you end up with a pair of Nexuses without gaining some basic knowledge on how mixers work? Connect your speakers to the Master Out of the DJM 700 and you'll be sorted. Edit: You need to connect your CDJs to the mixer too..
Ana Butt 20.03.2013	Mhh, I thought so, but again, my mixer is totally un-responsive in traktor, no faders, no highs low mids nothing, there are pics http://i.imgur.com/IDzilgQ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/c7zm5DN.jpg http://imgur.com/IDzilgQ,c7zm5DN,t9t4H1r,ldefAVW#2 http://i.imgur.com/ldefAVW.jpg
Alphonso Deitchman 20.03.2013	You have to plug your speakers into the mixer....
Ana Butt 20.03.2013	I dont have good PA system at the moment, i have just some PC speakers that just plugs into Laptop and thats it, taking picture now
Julissa Serrone 20.03.2013	take a picture of how you have the back of you mixer plugged up. Where are your speakers plugged into?
Alphonso Deitchman 20.03.2013	The DJM 700 is a pretty simple hardware mixer. I don't see how it can't be working. How have you wired everything up?
Ana Butt 20.03.2013	Out of speakers I had sound coming out, simple speakers to plug in the computer, that it, but not anymore, well everything is working, but the mixer, need to get that thing working somehow :X EDIT Ok, i had sound coming out but i went to traktor settings that the way you told me now no sound coming out, because mixer doesnt work, so need to get that thing working
Alphonso Deitchman 20.03.2013	What exactly is working and what isn't? If you have set a Traktor deck to control with the CDJs then you have HID control. How can you have sound coming out if your mixer doesn't work?
