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!

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

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!

First club set this weekend!!! Thanks so much for this!!! Feeling so confident now :)

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

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.

Thank you so much! This will be my first time using HID mode on my own!

Again, great content for beginner! 🙌

Thanks for this video!!! Got a Club DJ set today!

This is a great video thanks so much for the help!

Hi bro I learnt dj from you thank you and now I am dj in my city

Thank you very much. Very helpful.

Yo..... it really sorted out a struggle I had..... thanks bro. Cheers!

Great video!

Thanks for the video !

Thank you guys 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

Very good video thanks mate

Sooo helpful thank you !!!

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!!

Very Useful ... Thanks For That ☺

Thanks man for this video!

Great stuff! 👊🏼

This video was perfect

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.

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?

very useful thank you so much

Best explain ever !!

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 ?

I'd love to see you do a video on the difference between HID mode and Pro DJ Link

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!!!!

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

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Thx for the info

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.

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!

Thanks

Wonderful

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.

THANKS FOR THAT MATE!

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.

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..

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?

Hello ! Can you do a vid on the DDJ 200

Nice

Hi....can we use djm 2000 nexus+ series mixers with Serato dj pro? Or its limited to 900 nxs2?

nice tutorial idol

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.

I was able to figure it out had an issue with the driver install

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.

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?

Hi ! can you do it for Virtual Dj in HID mode pls

Can u tell me if the HID mode work with Catalina?? best regards

You saved my party 😂

The same thing work with the turntables? Thanks

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?

Hi. Can you explain how to do a changeover for Dj's using HID mode?

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.

Hi 1 question, in hid mode needs the rca from cdj to mixer for the audio output or the usb is internal mode audio?

Hi, is this possible with Traktor Pro 3?

Can you use this set up with cdj 900 usb and djm 750 set up pls. Thx

do u need the club kit expansion pack for this or just serato dj pro?

Which expansion pack should I buy to connect it

If the cdjs & djm are linked via Ethernet shouldn't the auto bpm be a non issue?

Do you do the same for traktor?

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

Hi if I purchase serato club kit can I still older cdj-mk3 pioneer

just started djing

hi, is there a way to dj on all 4 decks in Serato with only 2 cdjs in hid mode?

Jo boys just bought the xdj-rx2

Will serato Dj lite work like this, or only pro?

Question 🙋🏻‍♂️ How would you set it up if you have two DJs!

Is This Work With Other Apps Also Rekord Box Tracktor Virtual D J

Can you connect your laptop to a mixer without USB port (Pioneer DMJ700 Mixer)?

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.

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

Do a Pioneer nxs dj set???

Make different types of Mixing style video

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?

So each USB cable from the cdj deck goes to the computer? Meaning you need 3 available USB ports, right?

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.

Hi Can you do a Video with DJM S9 and CDJ2000NSX ?

I newly bye 900nxs2 and xdj1000Mk2 900nxs2 connected to serato but xdj1000Mk2 not linking please help me

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!!

does sync work the same way?

Do the djm mk 1000 2 can hid?

My CDJ read disconnected after the USB midi screen. Do you think I need to update them?

what do you do when two dj play. and only two cdj ?

if you use an SP1 where would that be plugged in?

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 :/

This was very helpful thank you. Just a few questions; Does this work for Mac OS Monterey? Do I need to install drivers on to my laptop prior to plugging in?

Hi. Does it really need to have club kit expansion to use HID mode?

Went from decks to controller…never going back. Rane Performer all day long

Porque no muestra la pantalla e la cdj la honda de sonido? Como en recordbox

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!

Why my audio exit with a very bad quality from the mixer? CDJ2000NEXUS 2 AND DJM900NEXUS2 Please help me

In HID mode there’s no time code right?

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?

Is it possible to connect HID to two separate computers running Serato?
