CDJ 850s and traktor pro
Posted on: 19.10.2012 by Emilia Dielmann
So I came across this super great deal on two 850s for $1000. Now my question to you guys is, should I get them and hope NI will support HID , or just opt out and jump on 900s instead , although that's going to set me back another $1k. What do you guys believe, all suggestions are appreciated.

Hey guys,

Seems like the technical support at NI doesn't even bother confirming it's facts before it replies to customers.

Hello Brandon Orr,

Ok, I have confirmed with my colleagues that there is NO HID support for the CDJ
850 in the current version of Traktor nor can I tell you if nor when this is
planned. We have had quite a few requests however from users wanting this and
have already reported this onto the development team in Berlin. For now, you will
have to just be patient and wait.

UPDATE: CDJ 859 HID support is not present in version 2.6 of Traktor despite NI's confirmation below. Hopefully this means they are including it in 2.6.1 or one of the next preliminary updates for the 2.6 version of Traktor.

I say this because not every club will have HID compatible CDJ's. Meaning if you plan on playing out on the clubs gear through Traktor and the club only has say a DJM-800 and CDJ 1000's (a LOT of clubs have this set up or older) your not going to be able to just stroll in with your laptop and plug away and be good to go.
This is true. I still run into a lot of clubs that only have cdj 800MKIIs but more and more clubs are starting to get 850s surprisingly, and I've only ever spun at one club which had 2000s and that was the Guvernment, which is where Marcus Schultz and Armin Van Buuren spin when they come to Toronto. Never seen anything higher than a 1000MK3 or 850 at a normal evening club. Not to mention most bars and pubs tend to have just technics. So it is a good Idea to invest in a timecode setup as well just in case.

$1000 for two 850s is amazing. The new firmware for the 850s makes timecode control TIGHT, and I mean really tight. You can still use them in HID in sera to, but with Traktor you'll only be able to use them in midi for the time being. I've heard rumours that after the Z2 is release that the 850 will receive HID support and that it's in the pipeline. But nobody can confirm. I've been using my 850s with traktor in timecode for the past two years and they've been awesome. I can also get familiar with rekordbox and CDs on them as well. 99% of the time when I spin i'll be using traktor, so I didn't want to shell out more money for 900s. I suggest that if you're mostly looking to use Traktor, save your money and don't get the 900s, just get the 850s. A midi controller will provide an OK control with the jog wheels, but timecode IMO is the best, and next best is HID which is basically equivalent to timecode. Personally at the moment my computer only has two USB ports and I hate having to use a USB hub, so using the CDJS in timecode saves me from having to require 4 USB slots. I just need one slot for my Audio 4 and another for my X1. I'm going to purchase the Z2 at which point I would love to have HID because then I could just plug into the Z2 hub, but it's really not that big of a deal if I still have to use timecode.

Thats a great deal for 850's. If it was me i'd buy them. Very capable cdj's.

Check out the Denon SC2000. Significantly cheaper, and holds all the same functionality if you are using TP anyways.

Well not only for traktor , but also for the USB / rekord box feature. The club I play at has 900s , so I would like to get more familiar with cdjs . And just in case I want to use traktor it would put me in a good direction at home
