CDJ2000, DJM2000, Traktor and Komplete Audio 6

Hi Guys,

I'm really struggling to get my set up for Traktor integration and recording mixes, I would really appreciate some help.

I've followed the tutorial at the link below and can't get the PC to recognise any sound from Traktor via routing when using these settings. i.e. using the DJM2000 as the primary audio source. I'm using 4.32 CDJ firmware and 3.2 in the DJM2000 so latest drivers.



The only setting I seem to be able to use Traktor with sound is as follows, this enables the CDJ2000's to control Traktor in HID mode:

Audio set up: Device - Pioneer CDJ2000

Output Routing:

Output deck 1 - CDJ2000 1L, CDJ2000 1R

Output deck 2 - CDJ2000 2L, CDJ2000 2R

Input routing - not connected (there isn't an option of drop down here)

Neither Traktor or Audacity recognises any audio coming from the DJM2000 when I attempt to record on these settings. I have tried the settings as described in the URL above using the DJM2000 Asio setting but still no luck when trying to playback or record. The sound is coming from booth monitor speakers I have plugged direct in the back of the DJM2000 XLR to TRS (Adam A7x)

Can someone confirm what I'm doing wrong as it has my head done in - sorry in advance if this is something really basic that I'm missing?

I want to be able to use the CDJ's to control Traktor, whilst using the DJM2000 to mix each Traktor channel and the ability to record the mix in Traktor, what's the best way of achieving this? Do I need to route cables out of the DJM2000 record out/master into the Komplete Audio 3/4 inputs using RCA to 1/4 jack ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your support.

You need to use the DJM sound card in a 6 down/2 up configuration to record

 

Hi Makar,

Thanks for the post I really appreciate it.

I've bitten the bullet and sought advice from a local audio shop and they advised to hook up the DJM2000 to the Komplete Audio 6 via RCA to 1/4 inch jack. I've done this via the input 1 and 2 on the front of the Audio and seem to be able to record via Audacity on the either the DJM2000 line or Komplete Audio 6 Inout 1/2 (which I'll use the latter). Probably could have achieved this through XLR but seems to be doing the job (Traktor still doesn't recognise recording audio which is cool as Audacity does).

I'm still using Traktor in Pioneer CDJ2000 Asio mode to recognise audio, the DJM2000 mode will not recognise any audio when using the Pioneer DJM2000 sound driver. I'm using a PC on Windows 7 64, is this the issue? On the video posted I don't have an option for 6 in 2 out on the DJM2000 utility, only 4 outs 0 in, 3 outs 1 in and 3 out 0 in.

I want to be able to use the DJM2000 as an external mixer for Traktor whilst being able to browse and launch tracks on the CDJ's, they are being used in advanced HID mode as it stands as again this is the only set up I can get audio to work.

I have seen videos on MIDI mapping effects to the touch screen on the DJM for things like Traktor's FX, I also want to use this type of functionality - how do I go about fixing this?

 

3 out 1 in is the same, but worded in stereo channels rather than mono.

What problems are you having when trying to use the DJM sound card in Traktor?

 

Hi Makar,

Ah ok sorry I've been DJing on turntables for years but new to the digital age!

When trying to use the DJM2000 driver (as I want to attempt to map MIDI FX from Traktor to the DJM) I've selected PIONEER DJM-2000 ASIO driver in the Audio set up tab.

Output routing as external (as I'm using the DJM2000 as the mixer). Output deck A (L DJM2000 USB1, R DJM2000 USB2), Output deck B (L DJM2000 USB3, R DJM2000 USB4).

Input routing - Input deck A (L Mono - DJM2000 IN1, R DJM2000 IN2).

When using these parameters there is no sound or input to the DJM2000 i.e. no volume to the levels on channels 2 & 3 of the mixer but the CDJ's can control Traktor (running in HID advanced mode, they won't seem to control in standard). There is no sound to the Komplete Audio 6 as a result as nothing is coming from the DJM2000 (connected to Audio 6 input 1 & 2 from the master out on the mixer).

As I said above the only way I can get audio and recording to work is using the Pioneer CDJ Asio driver, however I don't know how to map effects to the mixer off the back of this set up?

 

Did you flick the channel input switches to "USB" when using the DJM 2000 as your Traktor sound card?

 

Mate I am such a goon - no I didn't what a complete idiot!

It's working now in DJM mode, are you able to point me to any tutorials on how to midi map the DJM to control traktor FW and remix sets?

I've seen the URL below but it doesn't explain how to set it up in the first place, Traktor FW are way better than the DJM's native FX as they are far more accurate on the beat grid?

Thanks for all your help mate!

 

You might want to invest in a MIDI controller for Traktor's FX; since the DJM doesn't have any free controls for mapping, and functions cannot be disabled.

 

I seen this URL which uses the centre screen on the DJM but it doesn't explain how to map



I also have native instruments Maschine Mk2, can this do the job using the same set up as above (CDJ's in advanced HID mode). Can the CDJ's, DJM and Maschine used at the same time with Maschine potentially controlling FX and possibly remix decks also?

 

Yes, you could map the top row of knobs and buttons to the FX banks on Maschine.

 

You're a star mate so I'm almost there.

How would I set this up, use the DJM2000 drivers to route sound to the Komplete (as confirmed above) and then connect the Maschine via MIDI input to the DJM2000, using the Traktor Pro controller template?

 

You don't need the Komplete sound card in your setup at all.

Just connect the DJM and Maschine to your computer using USB cables (don't use MIDI cables), use NI's official Remix Deck mapping for your Maschine, and modify it to control FX.
