Cool, thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for watching!

Yes good tip!

I still use my Reloop tape for my recordings. Has a great sound.

Thanks for the tip :)

Thank you sir very much appreciated

Cheers :)

Glad to help!

That's the same thing :)

No problem!

Unfortunately sometimes the SC4 (or similar) just doesn't work, usually it's an issue with Android phone and some versions of iPhone. Using an interface instead like the Evermix will be easier (but more expensive)

Very good tip, cheers :)

Hey I'm interested in buying the dr-40 to record my sets (not with crowd). I have a zone 92, what kind of cables do you need to connect my mixer to the tascam? Is the tascam capable of recording the mixer signal without clipping?

It has both (that’s how the microphone works when you’re talking phone calls on wired earbuds). That’s also why you need the TRRS to TRS lead.

Digital DJ Tips I see! Excellent

You can record throught your phone. I have record through my before

If you're not using your booth output, you can record via that. To incorporate crowd noises, one way would be to use a small external mixer to plug the XDJ and a microphone into, and plug a recorder into that.

Sony a6500 DSLRs, although the closeups of the mixers were done on an iPhone. Audio is Rode wireless lav mics.

If the recorder allows it simply run an output to it and hit record, should be as simple as that :)

Cheers :)

You need the SC4 not the SC3, if that doesn't work (and even if it does) something like the Evermix Mixbox or Reloop Tape would give better results :)

@@digitaldjtips Thank you for the response! good advice! Bless!

@@digitaldjtips Hey ! I tried the SC4 but it didn't work for me so I tried something different. My current set-up is a Traktor S4 MK2 with a rca to 1/8 jack from main out to line in on a Roland Rubix24 audio interface. The interface is connected to my samsung s8 via usb-c. When I record a normal video the audio quality is superb! However when I go live on facebook, the audio sounds distorted and bad. Do you have any advice? thanks for the reply!

Audio interface are always the best way to go! However I can't help you on that - I have no idea why that would be the case. Have you tried just turning the volume down?

Yep that should do it (though this method can be a bit hit and miss depending on the phone in use). Any app that can record should work fine

It is for recording audio only, although you could use the same audio to accompany a video made of a DJ performance on the same phone if you wanted to.

@@digitaldjtips cheers bro 🤙

De nada!

Thanks for the feedback :)

Yes

An audio interface is a better option in the long run

Yes an audio interface will give you more control and provide a better quality recording

Glad you managed to fix it :)

That's a good question, yes a separate microphone and then you can mix the two later in editing :)

Yes will be fine

Cheers :)

Any output should work fine

Good question. Not tried it but I suspect it may work, at the very least via the CCK (Camera Connection Kit) or whatever Apple calls it nowadays.

Check out the iRig Stream we've just reviewed :)

The same way we should you in this video

The iRig Stream can help with this, check it out

You could use a very small live mixer, and plug the main output to your speakers, and the Phones output to whatever you are recording on. That will give you the two volume controls. www.amazon.com/YAMAHA-6-channel-mixing-console-MG06/dp/B00I0Q8JNQ

It has two outputs so you could hijack one of those to record from

We don't have one so no, what are you struggling with?

Do you have settings in your camera that allow you to adjust the gain of the signal being fed into it? Sounds like it's clipping so if you're not on your controller it's the camera input gain that needs fixing

@@digitaldjtips yea no camera input gain, bugger ha ha. Going to try the booth line and control the levels from the mixer also going to try in mono. Thanks or the relpy though bud, much appreciated.

No I don't believe so

Use the booth out instead

@@digitaldjtips Brilliant thank you

Hey :)

Try program files > rekordbox > recordings

It's the same really if you have the same outputs :)

Both Recordbox and Serato both have recording functions built in. What are you using ?

Yes you'll need a TRRS cable

Grab an Evermix Mixbox and you can record straight to your phone, means if you're doing sets out and about you can easily record them to upload later

@@digitaldjtips Thank you✨️

Yes if using a phone :)

Digital DJ Tips Thank you

Yep

Master 2

@@digitaldjtips thank you👌🏿

Yes, you need a female TRS to TRRS lead between the male 3.5mm and your phone - Rode do one.

Serato only offers aif and wav recording. You'd need outside software to convert it to an MP3. But remember you'll lose sound quality doing so.

Yeah simply find a converter online :)

www.freemake.com/free_audio_converter/

iTunes does that for me. when im done with a mix on serato, I drop it in to iTunes and there's an option to convert it to mp3.

The master output you're not using, or the booth output. You'll just need the correct adaptors or cable. If you use the booth output, it gives you an independent volume control for your roecrding.

thank you Sir!

If you plug in earbuds with a built-in microphone, does it record that microphone rather than your phone's? If so there's definitely something up with your cable or similar.

@@digitaldjtips will try today,ill let you know soon ! ✌

Voice recorders will work fine.

@@digitaldjtips Thank you! :)

i have the same question =/ I have a djm 250 mk1 too and don't have the RECORD entrance. I think only with a Audio interface

Any output will work, use the RCA Master 2 output

Why do you need both USBs to DJ from?

@@digitaldjtips I use the main stick to play tracks from, and the opposite to play effects and drops....it's too difficult to do all that from one stick. And since I've only got 2 channels it's the best I can do to accommodate my style.

Cool :)

do you do that in performance mode?

In Rekordbox DJ, yes :)

@@digitaldjtips I bought the TRSS cable and tried to record it with a recorder app on my phone but it keeps catching up my voice.. ? isnt it suppose to only take up sound from the mixer? cheers.

Yes it is, something isn't right there - sometimes the order you plug things in makes a difference weirdly so try that

Not without troubleshooting your system. By "Monitor out" you mewan "Booth out" I guess? Try turning the volume down for that output.

​@@digitaldjtips Thx for the reply. I have a Xone 23 - on the back it says "Monitor out". the volume is already on a minimum - quality still sounds bad though :(

The end that plugs into your computer needs to be male TRRS, the other end needs to be TRS. You can only record in mono as phones only have mono audio inputs.

Thanks for your quick response. So the link was correct, but the discription isn’t ;). Anyhow, recording dj sets in Mono does not sound very attractive so I will have to go for another option. Same goes for a MacBook I guess? Only mono-recording? Or is this different?

Record via the booth output and use the master output too (as they both have separate volume controls).

@@digitaldjtips and for streaming live via smartphone or laptop i need a usb audio interface right?

Something like the Mixbox from Evermix.

That's odd, what DJ gear are you using?

Are you using beatport link?

You need to take the audio from the audio outputs on the DDJ-1000 and then use an audio interface to covert it to digital and feed it into the computer. You cannot use the USB cable that connects the DDJ-1000 to the computer any more, as the XDJ audio is not fed down that cable.

@@digitaldjtips Thanks for the reply.

Yes, at least in theory

Did it work? I'm trying to record mixes on my Android phone and have HQ audio via pioneer mixer. Can you record videos while this is happening?

You can record it from the mixer :) Here's a few ideas in detail: www.digitaldjtips.com/2019/12/7-easy-ways-to-record-your-dj-sets/

Use any spare output

You're best off speaking to Pioneer directly about that one

Check your ground connection on your rca leads at both the turntable and mixer ends

No

I didn’t think so either thanks for your info

Good tip!

Use the booth output instead (or any other output not being used)

You won't be able to record using tracks from streaming websites (within the software at least)

@@digitaldjtips So, after watching this video. I do understand that we are able to record but with a mixer and the record outlets. Now. what if someone doesn't have a mixer ?

If you're just DJing from your laptop (no external gear) there is probably a way to record that with software like Audacity, we don't have a video on it though

@@digitaldjtips Thank you , big ups for this info.

It's not specific to a certain mixer, as long as it has the same outputs it'll work :)

This method can be unreliable, sometimes it helps to plug in the leads BEFORE you launch the app you want to record with.

@@digitaldjtips aaa ok phil i see.. thanks for the reply👍.. and also.. to record from the 750mk2 to my phone using the usb .. will i need an audio interface?... i have an android phone... and cant use the pioneer rec app

That would make life easier, we'd recommend the Evermix Mixbox or the iRig Stream

@@digitaldjtips ok phil.. again thanks very much for the reply.. but see with the evermix box.. because i dont have a rec out.. where in the mixer would i run my XLRs from?

Any spare output

Yes you can

Hello i tried connecting my iPhone 6 and my Samsung note 10plus and neither of them worked on the record out I was a bit angry that I spend money to buy the trss adapter for it to fail how could I make it possible?

@@bradgarcia-comedy8063 bit angry? Moron.

What are you using to record?

Digital DJ Tips sorry. This is for Facebook live. Going straight into my phone.

So no, you can;t change the volume of the record out - it is fixed. Best using with booth or master.

​@@digitaldjtips when you say 'Best using 'with' boost or master', do you mean, adjust the volume on the mixer using the booth or master knobs to stop the distortion?

Using those outputs as you have control via the knobs as mentioned :)

Yes :)

@@digitaldjtips hey so i tried it out and the trim has to be set wayyyy low for the audio to pick up "smoothly" on my phone, any way to let the trim do its thing? i can barely hear whats coming through my speakers because of it

Use one output to record/stream from (say, booth) and the other as your speakers output (say, master).

@@digitaldjtips you think it would be a good idea to plug into my booth with a 1/4 inch to trs and connect that to the trrs adapter? since the djm-900 booth input is 1/4th in.

@@digitaldjtips OR, correct me if im mistaken, can i plug rca>trs>trrs into my macbook and in OBS turn the overall volume down???

Sorry about the confusion, the link in the description is to the cable we show in the video which is the correct one.

@@digitaldjtips I am confused, so do we need a TRS to TRRS adapter or a TRRS to TRS cable? Or are they the same thing? Just looking at Jacob's comment and looking at the video description they aren't the same thing

The "male" end needs to have the four metal rings/three black rings (TRRS) and the female end needs to be TRS. Rode SC4 is a good reference - look at the pictures of that one , and get one similar.

@@house-techplatform7636 This is exactly why I am saying the video needs to be edited/removed. If you follow the TRRS to TRS adapter (Not what you need) link in the description it takes you to a page for a TRS to TRRS adapter (what you DO need). Even in the video he incorrectly states the type of adapter you need. All of the information presented (besides the actual link) is incorrect. What is the use of the video if it does not accurately present the required information? I'm sure he knows what the cable is that is required but terminology is incredibly important when they are two different products.

what type of mixer are you using?.. am using a 750mk2.. but with using the booth there is no audio going into my phone

You can record from any of the outputs you don't need a dedicated record out it's just nice to have

@@digitaldjtips i tried to use my mac book and audacity trought usb but it didnt work because my macboon has the latest Mac OS. with my old macbook and audacity i could record my set because audacity doesnt work with thr latest MacOS :/

You could get something like the Evermix Mixbox or Reloop Tape to take the computer out of the equation :)

@@digitaldjtips might consider buying one but then i have the same problem that i only have an xlr output where i cant buy cables due to space limitations and the cinch outpit is for my monitors :D

But you have three outputs? Master 2 being an RCA you can run to the recording device and still have 1 for your PA and 3 for your booth monitors

You can use this method

@@digitaldjtips I have the traktors z2...and i want to record scratches-cuts to put them in hip hop beats...im comfused about inside interface of z2... (i use reaper daw)

One option is to simply record your performance in Traktor then drag it into your DAW afterwards for further editing

@@digitaldjtips Υου mean internal recording and after that move to my daw? but my workflow is in one deck the instrumental and on the other deck the "scratch: track-vocal-acapella" ,so how can i record only the one deck with the scratches on em and not the deck with instrumental?

Monitor the track elsewhere rather than in the software. Either that or buy an audio interface and route your audio into your DAW

Does it have a voice memo app or similar? Any app that allows you to record will do the trick

Yeah if you have a standalone cd burner or an avenue to your PC's hard drive.

The problem with that is you only have one output on the DDJ-400, can you not just record in your software?

as I use soundcloud it won’t allow me to stream so I’m trying to find a way around it without having to find a way to download songs as I don’t know how

Ah yeah that's an issue, something like the iRig Stream can help with this

Audacity is a common one because it's free

@@digitaldjtips thanks !!

rjbirdy2k you either record sound separately on an audio recorder and mix video and sound together later or use a microphone attached to mic in on the telephone. I have used shotgun mic on some occasions.

Monitors or Main speakers need to be pointed away from phone for good sound quality.

Yes as Harald says recording the audio and video separately and editing it together would be the best bet :)

@@digitaldjtips oh I thought there was maybe something you connect from your mixer to your mobile.. while recording your mix

Lol :)

Thanks for the correction (if that's what Phil said) :)

Yes :)

@@digitaldjtips Ok, thanks for the answer! Can you tell me if it is possible to record a DJ set in Serato DJ while using two CDJs and a serato compatible mixer in HID mode? 🤔

Hmmmm good question not sure without testing.

Mono is hardly awful to listen to, yeah it's not as exciting as stereo but most people wouldn't even notice

Use Irig 2 works on Android or Iphone

@@adriansantos811 ​ That would ALSO be mono, as it STILL goes in through the headphone jack mic input. Something like the Roland GO:Mixer or even the mixbox that Phil talked about (but didn't get further into, like he kinda said he would?) could use your phone to get a STEREO recording instead. Both for not that much more money than for instance an iRig 2.

@@digitaldjtips really?? Remember that right now you're giving HORRIBLE advice to young new DJ's that wants to get heard - no one that matter will take their mixtape seriously if recorded in mono. I sure wouldn't.

We've done this for years, great for checking how you did later on. No it's not perfect, and I do offer a more professional route in the video. The tip is about where to plug into the mixer, not how to record - we've covered that in detail elsewhere.

Yes

@@digitaldjtips oh good thanks
