- Have you ever wondered how to get your laptop plugged into a set of CDJs in a pro DJ booth? In this DJ tutorial we explain how to plug Serato DJ Pro into CDJs and use them in HID mode. This basically means you can use CDJs like your controller! This tutorial features 2x Pioneer CDJ 2000NXS2 and a DJM900NXS2.

Just wanted to come back and say that I did my first set with HID (after years of
using control signal) and it was great so thanks for the tutorial. One VERY important thing to add is that it seems to immensely lighten the load on your CPU as it doesn't have to read a control tone anymore. I used to get occasional millisecond dropouts with control tone (despite being well over specs) but it all ran super smooth and not a single dropout. One problem is sharing with other Serato DJs who wanna use it too! I guess old skool style track off a usb while unplugging and replugging the USB cable...
Thanks again!
Absolute life saver!! First proper gig coming up xmas time and the club tech guy isn't to forthcoming with information and I don't want to plaster him full of questions to make me look the noob that I am. Have a friend with a similar set up, so this vid is invaluable. Thanks a mil!
Thanks for this video.. I always wanted to learn how to do a laptop setup with CDJs and a mixer using Serato. I'll be doing my first club gig in 2 weeks and I have never used a CDJ before.. but thanks to this video I will rewatch and get prepared
Howd it go about to do mine in a few weeks
first show tomorrow in over 2 years, cdjs, actual full ass club, the whole thing / & video just gave me the confidence i needed! thank you
Hi bro I learnt dj from you thank you and now I am dj in my city
Thank you bro. i've Dj in a few clubs so far but, I brung my own controller because of comfort level. I know i'll have to jump out my comfort level soon so this video certainly helped me.
First club set this weekend!!! Thanks so much for this!!! Feeling so confident now :)
Nice video and covered a lot so thank you. I wish you just mentioned how the hot cues work exactly since there are 4 buttons instead of 8 especially triggering samples. Now I have to look for another video for this.
I'd love to see you do a video on the difference between HID mode and Pro DJ Link
Passing off the set to the new DJ was hard at 1st. Now I get it! But the mixer needs a usb hub to make it smoother than a clunk hub. That just seems cheap on pioneers end. This way the CDJs are plugged in the mixer from the beginning!
It's a shame the waveforms don't show on the CDJ screens. Rekordbox, Traktor & Djay Pro 2 all do. Not sure about Virtual DJ because I haven't used that in a while.
Thanks for the video !
The set up looks very nice and the walkthrough very well explained.
Quick question though..
Why, when connecting serato to cdjs the loop buttons appear turned off?
Thank you.
This was very helpful however I wish you would have shown the computer screen at some point and shown if swift load on the computer Serato interface will load songs on the cd decks.
Again, great content for beginner! 🙌
Great video!
Thank you so much! This will be my first time using HID mode on my own!
Thanks for this video!!! Got a Club DJ set today!
Hi.
Can you explain how to do a changeover for Dj's using HID mode?
Thank you very much. Very helpful.
Went from decks to controller…never going back. Rane Performer all day long
Hey guys have in mind that club’s cdjs and mixer needs to be updated in order to connect on HID mode. So be ready to rock n roll with timecodes any time or update club’s equipment by yourself... thanks
Panayiotis Constantinou hi, what are timecodes and how would i update a clubs equipment myself? Could that be done when changing over from another dj if i encounter a problem with HID mode?
@@rebeljunction8876 timecodes are the old system or when you play with timecode records/cds (DVS-Mode).
You can put the newest firmware on a usb stick an put it into the player. Then you can make a update. But when you updated the player OFF/ON that he starts again. Like a computer after a update. Can take 2-5min depends on how old the old firmware is at the payer and what kind of usb stick you use(2.0/3.0).
At a good club the have normally the newest firmware updated. Last update CDJ2000nxs2 was in March2019. That does not happen often.
When you get booked ask the club witch gear they use and ask when they make the last update. You can download all firmware from the pioneer homepage. www.pioneerdj.com/en-gb/support/software/
I always bring a extra usb to update them. Also if you have a rider you can request the most utd firmware
@@muratti72muc So when I bought my Pioneer DDJSX2 controller you can unlock Serato DJ Pro for free. Since I won't be plugging into it for this gig, and now into the club's cdjs and mixer....do I still need to subscribe to purchase Serato DJ Pro? Im understanding it only unlocks the software if I'm using my purchased controller? Or do I have the full license? Sorry I'm so confused and I'm not sure if I should pay for the subscription or not!!
@@boomboxbri yeah, you'll need to purchase or subscribe for a license for Serato to work with this setup. You can do a 15-day trial but after that, you'll need a full-on license. Or bring a Serato box and use and connect that.
Very good video thanks mate
This helped big time! Just used this yday. Was weird at 1st. I was like where is echo out? How do I activate it! I was thrown in the water! Wtf! But this video makes sense now.
Yo..... it really sorted out a struggle I had..... thanks bro. Cheers!
Very Useful ... Thanks For That ☺
very useful thank you so much
Hello ! Can you do a vid on the DDJ 200
This is a great video thanks so much for the help!
Thanks man for this video!
Thank you guys 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
just started djing
Hi,Please assist me here how do I link my Behringer DJX750 MIXER with SERATO DJ PRO. My MIXER doesn't have HID port and is not Serato supported.
Great video it really help me with the set up but still have an issue. I have the Serato Suite from a recent purchase of the DDJ1000SRT, do I still need the Club Kit for everything to work with the 900NX2 and CDJ2000NX2?
I was able to figure it out had an issue with the driver install
So each USB cable from the cdj deck goes to the computer? Meaning you need 3 available USB ports, right?
Jo boys just bought the xdj-rx2
Thanks
Love this video what a life saver thank you so much. I have my first live club dj gig next month, I wanted to ask I have two USB from my 3 pioneer controllers, can I use those 3 USBs to plug the two cdjs and mixer to my laptop?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!
Nice Review thanks for explaining so if I plug my external hard drive into my powerd HUB with the cdjs and mixer will it be ok ?
THANKS FOR THAT MATE!
You saved my party 😂
hey, can you make a video about how to change dj during a set? if f.e. a rekordbox dj has to play after a serato dj? The video helped for sure but I did it twice on a club an the music stopped
Sooo helpful thank you !!!
This video was perfect
Question 🙋🏻♂️
How would you set it up if you have two DJs!
Thanks for the video tutorials Crossfader. Would you do one with Virtual Dj 2020? Let us know if you can do it.
THANKS again for your tutorials. They are great!!!!
Great stuff! 👊🏼
Best explain ever !!
Thx for the info
Hi ! can you do it for Virtual Dj in HID mode pls
Hey! If anyone could PLEASE respond, I have SeratoDJ pro. But, in order to use CDJs with it in HID move, will I absolutely need to purchase the "Serato DJ Club Kit". Please respond back as soon as possible!
i have the denons sc5000 set and it obligates me to buy serato dj PRO full if not no conection posible .....? maybe its even worse for you
Hi, i have used CDJs in HID mode and i do not have the serato DJ club kit
You need to purchase dvs or you need an sl box. I know I mad late
What if you want to do a B2B with someone also serato or traktor? You can't share the cdj's usb ports only the djm second port. Any ideas. Only thing I can think of is 1 dj has to use dvs discs and use the djm as soundcard..
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
is that working with 750mk2 ?
The 750mk2 is not Serato compatible sadly
Can you connect your laptop to a mixer without USB port (Pioneer DMJ700 Mixer)?
In October 2023 this licence 02:05 is now USD249 🤯
Hi Can you do a Video with DJM S9 and CDJ2000NSX ?
We actually have a tutorial with this set up here: th-cam.com/video/I5OsYDRzP_k/w-d-xo.html
Nice
So HID mode is directly associated with software compatibility, ? Ie a Pioneer XDJ100XJ all in one controller is a type of HID mode but will only work with Rekordbox or Serato?,
Cheers
Love your videos.
My question is that when I will be playing at a club for the first time, between very loud speakers, then while beatmatching, if I turn on 2 cues on, will I be able to hear the beats of the other song? (as I have really cheap Extra Bass headphones)
If not, please tell me how to beatmatch properly with only 1 cue on(cue of the other song which I will be mixing with master).
Thanks. Please respond.
its always good to have loud and CLOSED headphones for DJing. I started with cheap superlux open headphones and i couldnt hear anything. make sure you use closed ones!
@@ObsoOrder I am having the cheap Sony MDR-XB450 Extra Bass Headphones.
Thanks.
use sync
@@djsonofibiza That was what I just did Man !!😂😂
@@null2089 its there for a good reason 👍👍 and the more i see pro djs using a laptop to see actualy the gridlines and like that no beatmatching skills needed i think fuck it sync it and blast it
My CDJ read disconnected after the USB midi screen. Do you think I need to update them?
When I connect my cdj900 nexus I get push to connect but it only shows USB MIDI on the screen I don't see deck 1 or deck 2 options. I updated my rekordbox and my cdjs to the latest versions. when I play a track on rekordbox I can hear the track coming out of the mixer but I can't control rekordbox with the cdjs. Not sure why this is happening. Please help :/
nice tutorial idol
If the cdjs & djm are linked via Ethernet shouldn't the auto bpm be a non issue?
does the djm no unlock the serato dj pro ? i use this normal with a denon controller... i had to play a set on nexus djm ... i hope its work... i use serato since 2008 and never had payed for the software , just buying hardware
Hi Guys, is there still an option in year 2022, to connect for example a DJM800 with Serato?
Because the Rane sl interfaces aren't supported any longer.
Thanks for your answers.
Hi
1 question, in hid mode needs the rca from cdj to mixer for the audio output or the usb is internal mode audio?
Wonderful
Just another question, just from your video, if I want to play the music from my laptop it should be switched to “line” and if I want the music to be played from the cdjs switch to A? If I want the music to be played from the cdjs should I then have my music via USB stick?
Hi....can we use djm 2000 nexus+ series mixers with Serato dj pro? Or its limited to 900 nxs2?
Can you use this set up with cdj 900 usb and djm 750 set up pls. Thx
hi, is there a way to dj on all 4 decks in Serato with only 2 cdjs in hid mode?
I've noticed on your right cdj the vinyl button does not light up, I have the same issue with my cdj, have you managed to fix it?
do u need the club kit expansion pack for this or just serato dj pro?
Hi if I purchase serato club kit can I still older cdj-mk3 pioneer
Why my audio exit with a very bad quality from the mixer? CDJ2000NEXUS 2 AND DJM900NEXUS2 Please help me
Is This Work With Other Apps Also Rekord Box Tracktor Virtual D J
I use a 4 channel controller. Sometimes I mix up to 4 songs at once on a transitions or just a remix. Would I need 4 CDJs to do this or is there some way to switch one CDJ to play on 2 channels at once?
Around 1:00 you say now theyre connected to the laptop. How? The cord attaches to both CDJ's... how is the laptop now connected?
Do a Pioneer nxs dj set???
Hi,I got D-Link hub for my Dj.how can I connect so it work with my laptop and my cdj 900 nexus.any help I will appreciate a lot.
In HID mode there’s no time code right?
Sl3 is not supported by serato anymore ... It is some problem because there is no way to use xone 92,96 mixers anymore ;d
Make different types of Mixing style video
When I plugged the CDJ2000nxs x2 and the DJM900nxs, my serato DJ Pro hardware didn't work.
I was forced to pay for the Serato DVS to make it work. Why didn't it work with the software Serato DJ Pro only?
I will ask for a reimbursement because according to this video it wasn't necessary.
Did you set the decks to internal mode? Also, I think on the Serato DJ settings you have to assign the channels (either 1 and 4 or 2 and 3).
So no need for Club Kit ?
Do you do the same for traktor?
what do you do when two dj play. and only two cdj ?
You mentioned that you nominated channel 2 and 3 because that's what the cdjs are connected to but...
1) Does it matter? You don't RCAs at all if you're in HID mode
2) Can you nominate different mixer channels, eg channel 1 and 4, in case you're sharing with someone?
Thanks!
In Serato settings you can change the channels between two presets. You're right you won't need the RCA cables if you're using the mixer as a soundcard.
@@Crossfader Those presets are either channel 1 and 2 or 2 and 3, right? You can't have it so that both djs (both using Serato DJ) have two separate channels each, eg, one DVS DJ on channel 1 and 4 with the CDJ RCAs plugged into those channels, the HID DJ on channel 2 and 3?
Sorry about this, I don't have this mixer at home so would prefer to know before getting to the venue. Either way I'll download the manual!
Thanks!
Edit: This is of course with both djs using the mixer as a soundcard, not a separate box.
does sync work the same way?
Porque no muestra la pantalla e la cdj la honda de sonido? Como en recordbox
Hi, is this possible with Traktor Pro 3?
Where is the link to the video if you are using HID via an SL box? And how do you connect the mixer to your laptop if the laptop is using the SL boxes soundcard for HID mode?
If you're using the SL box, connect the SL box's outputs to the mixer via RCA cables. You only need to connect the output as there is no time code, so the CDJ's don't require RCA cables. Then connect your CDJ's via USB in HID mode and away you go.
I newly bye 900nxs2 and xdj1000Mk2 900nxs2 connected to serato but xdj1000Mk2 not linking please help me
Which expansion pack should I buy to connect it
Can u tell me if the HID mode work with Catalina?? best regards
if you use an SP1 where would that be plugged in?
