In this weeks Monday DJ Tips, DJ Holland takes us to the Space Nightclub in Leeds, UK. To discuss and talk through the procedure of setting up a controller in a nightclub without removing the XLR cables from the clubs system.
Looooove this Monday DJ tips videos 🙌
This actually helped me to try my theory again and be able to connect from my RCA output in the controller to my input RCA in my mixer....it WORKS!!!
Been going to this club for years hahaha, great to see it in a video!
The Architect Of Sound: Very astute way of connecting a controller in a club; unless, someone else can think of a more pragmatic way of disembogue audio signals. You certainly have great deal of knowledge along with your passion that will augment longevity.
Awesome video. I could not figure out how to use the xlr cables but I did use the RCA's. I connected a DDJ-1000 to a DJM 750 MK2. Thank you kindly from the States.

Just as I hoped, cheers. About to get a Controller and run it through djm750 👍🏽
thanks for explaining this issue ,
Why is the recommendation to trim to "a few" orange blocks, instead of aiming for +/- 0 (for example on a XDJ-RX2 that would be one orange light) to have as much headroom as possible (to prevent clipping and limiting even in the worst case) but without attenuating the signal (as this, if I'm not mistaken, would worsen the signal to noise ratio if the signal gets amplified again later in the signal path)?
Can you pls do a video on how to adjust gains on beginner DJ controllers that don’t have the db on it
Thanks for that one..
I use a 5 speaker set up at my pub, two 12" tops & two 15" floors, & 8" monitor ; go through a Numark M4 , Numark Mixtrack FX pro... 0:06 Serato dj pro...
So when I set up as you have with all your controller settings at 12.o clock and mixer just before red..to get more volume as the evening progresses , I turn up my active speakers only, not anything else.. yes .?
Very neat explanation!
what cool dj equipment you got two
Just saved my night😂
Hi, I'm looking at adding a rotary mixer to my home set up and wanted some advice on the best way/options.
I currently have a XDJ XZ controller, Pioneer VM-50 active speakers and 2 x 1210s.
Would I be able to use this set up? Or should I be looking to add a separate amp, studio mixer?
Any advice would be appreciated 👍
Thanks man good tips
Notification squad where are you at!! 🙌🙌
Sir, yes sir.
Here.
Hi,
If using DDJ 400 u can have full control over both channels with the djm900nxs? Will you be able to use the complete functionality of the mixer?
Can You Connect A DJ Controller To A DJ Mixer From Numark, Pioneer, Reloop, & Denon DJ?
I was hoping to listen to the sound.
Sadly one of the conditions of filming at club during the day was that we wouldn't play any music. There are offices above the club (it's underground) and the bass would rattle the desks above!
@@djholland4235 You should've tried 😂😂
@@theindianwayfarer I'll try harder next time, promise! haha
😅😅😅
Hi there do I need to turn bass mid treble all the way down on club mixer if I'm controlling bass off my controller ?
Can you connect two DDJ’s to the mixer and controller 4 channels?
I used to bringing my DDJ-RX to the club back then, but know I'm just happy with club's CDJ or using them with on HID mode.
Why? Because the sound output from my controller never be as good as with CDJ and DJM only. The output sound seems "thin and compressed" and the bass feels not quite "kicking". So the audience feels something wrong, because the sound sounds different.
Maybe I should change the sound setting at the main mixer, but it is to much hassle at 1 AM in the club, just sayin
I´m not an expert but I honstely doubt the audience will hear a difference. I also think most clubs don´t have such high quality speakers where you can even hear it
@@gerrithausherr3035 Yes, maybe I'm over audiophile hahaha, I used to ignore it at first, but the club manager once go up to DJ booth and ask me "some thing wrong? the sound bit different, oh I see you are using controller". Since that I never bring may DDJ-RX again to the club :)
@@emxtv I probably would have done the same^^ But the reality is, that your audience is mostly drunk and only a few a them have a sense for sound quality
Gerrit Hausherr hahahaha thats for sure 😂
Excellent ☆
Is it possible to add an audio interface in the setup?
After a life using audio interface + mixers got an NI Kontrol S2 mk3 and its pretty and works fine but the built in audio interface doesn't sound so good to me.
I just had this issue with another SJ but club needs to invest into a mixer for change overs
Do i need an external mixer on rane one ? Because the Controller is so heavy i tought it gat all
Thanks
Odd question but I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. Can I connect for instance, the REV-7 to a DJM-S11?
Cool video
I have the Reloop Beatmix2. No led leven for gain. How to connect this controller in a pa mixer?
Is there anyway I can use 2 different channels from my mixer for each channel of my controller?
Question: does this substitute for a PA mixer? Can i use the mic from a DJ mixer as you would from a PA mixer? thanks!
If you want to sure, you can plug the mic into either the controller or the mixer. Do note DJ mixers usually have slightly less EQ control for the mic than a typical PA mixer.
Hi I have a question please could you answer I can’t find the answer anywhere.. so when you set it up like this does this mean you can only play on 1 side of the controller or both? I’m just wondering how you actually mix 2 tracks on the controller if only one line is connected on the mixer?
@@satbirsinghmatharu2355 thanks so effectively 2 decks on one mixer channel using the controller?
Essentially the output of the controller (both decks) instead of going directly to the speakers is fed in stereo into one of the channels on the mixer.
🖤
Question: why would you want to connect a mixer if you have a 4 channel controller?
My guess is because you can’t afford the CDJ’s yet. And maybe for a better sound card in the mixer if it is using the mixers sound card?
How can I link both headphones out into one headphone

Hey, I tried this but as soon as I put a track it is not able to use my DJ mixer
greaat!
Niiice!!
My head's baffled so if u play to tracks to mix into the mixer that mean u need to use to head phones
you would mix on the controller as if you were directly connected to the sound system (like at home). the dj mixer is in that case only there to receive what at home would go directly to your sound system and forwarding it to the clubs sound system.
with the dj mixer in between its possible for one dj to be playing (for example with 2 cdjs or with another controller on lets say channel 1 (or with the cdjs on lets say 1&2) while the dj playing next can connect his controller to a free channel and when dj one is done with his set then dj two only needs to push the fader up on "his" channel and press play to start his set
Can ddj 400 be connected to djm 900 nexus?(for cdj purpose)
You can connect a DDJ 400 master output to the DJM 900 using a RCA cable and plugging it into any LINE input :)

Zip yer pants up.
WHY WOULD ANYONE BRING THAT CRAP IN A CLUB
if you can't do it without a tutorial, you should look for another hobby, because you will also fail at other technical hurdles.
