I'm not really familiar with send and return.

I currently have the Pioneer DJ CDJ-2000NXS2 along with the 900NXS2, when I plug usbs into my laptop (rekordbox) and put each deck on a channerl (CH 1 & CH4 for example), how do I get the signal on my CDJs as well?

Hi there Dexter, One question.. In stand alone players recording a set is really easy via the USB.. Can you please explain how to do this with the DJM 900? via Laptop and or else

@DexxterClarkMusic 2 жыл бұрын

the djm900 doesn't have the feature built-in indeed. But it can act as a soundcard on a computer, so just select the master channel on your computer to record from. Even easier is connecting a phone and record it via the rekordbox app. Or use the line out to connect it to the soundcard of your computer. There are also funny casette-tape-shaped recorders by Reloop that record on usb (also works via the line out)

Thanks so much Dexter! I just bought this mixer. Here is my biggest question. Has pioneer or any third-party company developed a VST plugin of the effects in the DJM-900NXS2? I want to be able to automate the effects in Ableton and for it to have the same sound of the effects in the Pioneer DJM-900NXS2. I think the effects in rekordbox are the same as on the mixer correct? If so, I don't see why they wouldn't have this effects section as a VST plugin but I can't find any mention of it. It's mind-boggling.

@DexxterClarkMusic 5 жыл бұрын

you are thinking the wrong way :) Why is the quality of VSTs not available on the mixers? Even the cheapest VST have better quality (even thrue oversampling) than the nxs2 mixer, so I don't see why you even want that

@LesFrancoeur 5 жыл бұрын

Dexxter Clark - DJ & Music Production tutorials Hmmm. Well, I have collected what seems like nearly every plugin in the world and nothing sounds like the filter on the DJM-900NXS2 so I can't agree with you there. Also, along with the filter, other effects such as the echo and reverb on the DJM-900NXS2 sound exactly like what one would hear in the world's biggest clubs. All the echos and reverbs I have sound like what you hear in typical pop music production on the radio - not a DJ at a club. I'd like to get the sound of the club in my music productions. Let me know if you know of a solution. I know the RMX effects units have a VST plugin that come with it but I would like the exact filter, EQ's and effects on the DJM-900NXS2 so, I'd like to know if they're the same before going that direction. Even if you can share with me a filter effect that you feel sounds as good or as authentic as the one found on the mixer, that would be good for now. Thank you.

Justin Nguyen Yep. I'd sure like the ability to automate those moves though! Shoot. This has to be a feature coming soon. I mean, they have a VST plugin for the RMX-1000 and 500 so... now I'm wondering if the effects on the RMX units are the same as on the mixer.

@LesVegasMusic 4 жыл бұрын

@Tom Magee Hi Tom. Thanks! Yeah, that's the one I use for now but it definitely doesn't sound like the filter on the DJM-900NXS2 does it? I found a couple options now that are ok but I think I'll just run the tracks I want filtered out to the mixer and back into the computer and use the time based Beat FX to get perfectly synced FX. I haven't tried it yet, but in theory it should work well and sound excellent. A lot of extra work though! I wish Pioneer would just make a plugin with these FX. I guess they just want people to buy their hardware mixers. I've written into the company. They don't have anything like it as of yet. They recommend the RMX iPad app for now - not exactly what I'm looking for either.
