CDJ 850 - DJM 700 - Traktor 2.0 Setup
CDJ 850 - DJM 700 - Traktor 2.0 Setup Posted on: 04.10.2012 by Jonas Hanway Hi all,Right, got a question for you all! The club where I reguarly play has upgraded to CDJ 850's (Woo!) and ideally I would LOVE to start using them as controllers. Now I've managed to upgrade them and setup the HID interface etc and had them hooked up to Traktor as controllers and they work perfect. BUT I would've thought that connecting them to the mixer via the RCA cables would be how the sound would play out, but no... I still seem to have to route everything through the audio 8 DJ interface. Now I've got a macbook, and it only has 2 USB cables.. I dont really wanna use a USB hub. Is the only option Ive got to use them as controllers only and use the audio 8 as the output into the mixer.. Or can you somehow use the CDJ 850's as a direct output from Traktor into the mixer? Answers on a postcard! Thanks!! And yes, I've used search, and didn't get anywhere. Thanks again. | |

| Tatum Ansaldo 09.10.2012 | According to a post on the NI community , there may be a light at the end of the tunnel... |
| Jonas Hanway 09.10.2012 | Ahhhh so it's not an issue with Pioneer it's an issue with the actual 850 model. It's crap that they would give HID support to 2000's 900's and 400's and not the 850's. Massive shame, would make my job an absolute dream. DJ'ing with a Traktor X1 and not the CDJ's takes something away from the experience for me. I know there are workarounds I could use (loading tracks on USB etc). But i can't be bothered messing around having to limit what I play because of what the capacity of a USB stick is. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 08.10.2012 | Not the full level of advanced HID that was only implemented in the last traktor update though. |
| Kellie Myrum 08.10.2012 | CDJ400 had HID integration with traktor before 850's have even come out. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 08.10.2012 | It's not pioneer that stops the 850s working with HID. They work with SSL. |
| Isa Erik 08.10.2012 | Yes, but 400s with HID aren't a threat for 900s sales, 850's probably would be (at least Pio believes in that way). |
| Tatum Ansaldo 08.10.2012 | The thing that makes it weird is that the 400s have full HID support. |

| Tatum Ansaldo 07.10.2012 | Hell no. Accuracy and resolution is SO much better with HID. |
| Kellie Myrum 07.10.2012 | You believe that jogwheel resolution doesn't work the same in both modes? |
| Tatum Ansaldo 07.10.2012 | It's still shite compared to HID. |
| Kellie Myrum 07.10.2012 | I haven't got my hands on it but there should be possibility to tweak default traktor mapping if needed. |
| Carlee Pickard 07.10.2012 | This breaks my heart. I don't get why NI OR Pioneer didn't do it. I would truly be in <3 with my 850's if they had full HID support with Traktor. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 07.10.2012 | I asked 2 guys from NI today, neither of them had any idea. |
| Janella Gripe 07.10.2012 | I don't get Native Instrument's reason why they don't create HID control for the 850's. They did it for the 2000's, 900's and the 400's. Anyone knows why the 850's are not supported? |
| Jonas Hanway 07.10.2012 | DAMN! I was really hoping that I could use them to connect directly to the mixer. Thanks for the help, and sorry for confusing people. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 04.10.2012 | Yeh 850s only work as midi controllers in traktor, not HID. They still work, just not as well as they do in SSL. |

| Tatum Ansaldo 04.10.2012 | You need to aggregate the sound cards into one audio device (google aggregate audio device) and select that as your output in traktor. |
