    Ok I just switched from serato scratch live to Traktor Scratch Pro 2. First off the equipment I have is DJM 900 mixer, 2 CDJ-2000's, Mac Book Pro, Traktor Scratch Pro 2. I bought the Traktor Scratch Upgrade since it works with the DJM 900 Mixer. This is what I want to do. First I dont always use a lap top so I would like to be able to use regular cd's when ever I want. I also use Rekordbox (usb stick) What is the best way to hook up my set up? Right now I have a Lan switch with the CDJ's, Mixer, and computer hooked up to it. I also have usb from the two cdj's going to the mixer. Lastly I have the digital cable going from the cdj's to mixer. There has to be some way to use CD's, Rekordbox, and Traktor with out all the cables. How can I use CD's Rekordbox, and Traktor with out all the cables all over the place? I am not using a X1 controller so I am wanting to make my CDJ's native to traktor. Second part is how do I make Traktor Scratch pro 2 native to my cdj's? I found the video on how to set up the mixer but I didn't see how you got to the very first screen to change the settings [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bspD_Hxi-4M"]DJM-900 Nexus & Traktor 2 setup for timecode control - YouTube[/ame]. I don't have any idea how to navigate through Traktor so please be as spcific as possiable when explaining.

    Setting up my music:

    So after I get this all set up how do I sort my music? In serato I had different crates for each genre. On Traktor I didn't see how to do that same type of thing. Sorry I am sure alot of this is super easy to some of you but your help is appriacated. :D

    cant help much with CDJs, since i use turntables, but regarding "crates" - it's called playlists in traktor. have a look at the manual and read about the "collection" and all these things, that will put you into the right direction.

    there is also a tool where you can convert ssl playlists into traktor playists (i never used ssl, so i never tried it personally). read more about it here:
