HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Hey! You found this really old video on my channel! The information in here is still good, but you should check out the other videos on my channel for even more up-to-date information on how to use CDJs and rekordbox together to bring your DJ skills to a higher level.
In this video I show you the basics of how to set and call loops/cues on the Pioneer CDJ2000. This applies to all current generation CDJs with a USB port for playing rekordbox tracks.

Let’s recommend this after 7 years
let's recommend this after 11 years
Just a thought: If you're going to specifically highlight looping, you might want to pick a track that isn't just a kick and a snare. There's no audible difference between a 1-beat loop and a 16-beat loop.
Without these videos, my first time on cdjs last night probably would of been a disaster. Thanks a lot man! Really appreciate the great tutorials.
Christian, thanks for the video. I've been dj-ing longer than I care to remember and only in recent years moved to CDJs (i am a vinyl dinosaur haha) but the functions on the 2000s I've just ignored and stuck to doing everything manually old school vinyl style. Learnt a lot from the video. Thanks.
Very helpful!! Finally, someone who does not take 30 minutes to explain a basic concept. Well done, and thank you for posting!
oh god :D you were so young :D
Thanks for making this video. This is the first time I've understood why there would be a cue button separate from hot cues. Good explanation.
Thanx man great video! For the past 6 years I've been a controller DJ and after watching this video a couple times I killed it at the club and it was my first time ever on the cdjs
+oscar88orellana i would love to be a Dj.
then be one :)
controller djs switching to cdjs kill it on cdjs I hate controllers but love my cjs
This video taught me exactly what i needed thanks man it was very useful and very well explained
lol wtf. I didn't even realize that this was you talking through the entirety of this video. But yes. Learned a lot! I practice every day for an hour when we don't have DJ's booked at the venue and am already starting to mix my own tracks for recording. looking forward to the rest of your series. Thanks Christian!!
I like how you go into the details very deeply, like the meaning of the LED flash-rate. In fact, many DJs don't know about their meaning exactly.
The best value of time spent. Thanks!!
Oh man i have a gig in 2 hours on a cdj2000 and its the first time i didn t bring my numark and your video is perfect to know little bit about it 😁👍🏿
Hope your gig went well!
Young Chris!
Edit: I stayed through the video for the lol but this video is genuinely very informative, so much it's even better than some tutorials of today!
Thank you!! I just bought a cdj 2000 and this helped a lot 🙌
Really nice, straightforward video. Dig it!
Good to go back to this as a new user as the tutorials for the new ones nexus2 don’t give you the basics of cue points and looping nice one
Oh my god young boi Christian
Why did this pop into my comment section. Dude you were so young.
yea lmao looks so different :D
The track is called WOW - Yves V & Felguk
Lovely tutorial, takes the controler DJ straight to the CDJ
hey that was really cool back there, so i bought one of those pioneer cdj 2000 and i don't know how to create effect like echo.......and i would like for you to show me how do you mix songs in the next video thank you have a good day
Is there a way to adjust the search/fast forward buttons so that they skip 8bars or 32 beats at a time?
To enable the needle search feature, make sure the deck is playing, press down on the platter with your thumb/hand and then search on the needle strip!
RUclips recommended this to me now, video alone shows how far we have come.
yes thank u sir for ur demo my sister son is dj and he is also playing nexus
thanks :)
THANK YOU FOR SIMPLIFYING THIS BRO!
This is pure gold.
I'll make a video about it tonight, but the easiest way is to hit the instant 4 beat loop button below the in/out loop buttons then immediately pressing the loop out button (it will start flashing) then pressing the [32] on the needle strip. Have to do it before the first 4 beats loop though, because the automatic loop is set for 4 beats until you press 32.
Nice video, it works!
Thanks for uploading.
I just got TribeXR DJ simulator on Steam for virtual reality.
Thank you for this. Learning to play on CDJ's really soon, and this video is a great start.
Man, you're really awesome! You got a like and a sub
Excellent!! Loved it
Wow this really helped me. Thank you !
I didn't wtf is going on here till I watched this. Thanks a lot!
It depends on your budget, I'd first of all recommend trying as many different setups as possible by befriending other DJs and learn the different types of setups. Then, depending on your budget, set your sights on your own players. I'd recommend the Pioneer CDJ350 players and whatever mixer you can find in your budget.
Wow, young Christian looking fresh!
Question about the saving to memory of a cue point. When you save it to memory, is that saving it to the memory of the CDJ, or the track itself on the USB. For instance if I save that cue point and then pull that track up in rekordbox after rentering it into rekordbox after using the CDJ, will it show up?
Thanks,
Ryan
Nice video man thanks
Useful tutorial, thanks!
Good catch!
Ahaha came across this old gem, Christian looks completely different now ahah
for real lol i was like...what? christian jackson..but...he looks so different! lmao
Nice video!
just a question. i’m reasonably new to djing. was wondering if most djs if their doing a double drop in a set or something, do they have cue points already set, like a cue point let’s say 15 bars or something from the drop on both tracks. is that a common thing?
great vid brother
Great tut!
thank you very much.
great video!!
Are the cdjs set to quantize loops so it syncs flush or is there a setting you have to change?
great turorials!
Thank you. Appreciate your expertise.
Nice tutorial!
Cool to see that christian still reads comments from his older videos lol
This helped a lot thank you
Thank you for this video!!!
Super helpful thank you!
hi man. i wonder if you have a vid tutorial on how to use a song as a Base to mix other songs over it.
Hello. Cool video for some CDJ basics. Thanks.
I have a question though, what would be the quickest way to set an (almost instant) 32 bar loop? Thanks in advance. (=
Hey, just a question, I saw that before you make a loop your have to press play, is it possible to activeted the loop on the four first beat before you hit play ? My question is for all the cdj from cdj 2000
Thank you
Dope vid. Shot!
Great informational resourceful video...superlike
please, could you tell me how to start a track directly with a loop ? what if i want it looped from the very first beat
If you are playing with usb stick will the Cdj analyze the track so you can get a clean cut loop
Thanks that was very helpful
Hi. Is the CDJ-2000 the only model which allows for saving cue points to memory, or can other models do that also?
Please make a full tutorial on how to..like know the basics and etc.
hello christian I got a question that is killing me maybe you can help me is the regular cdj 2000 almost the same as the nexus or the difference is huge because I'm trying to figure out get a pair of the cdj 2000 used or go for the xdj 1000 used or new?
great tutorial
I love this :)
Hi Mate!
If is playingback and I want to select my cue point without affecting the playback, how can I do that? What is the difference marking a cue point and a hot cue?
Thanks for the tutorial, it is really good!
Is the Button that allow you to switch cue to cue work with the Hotcue too ????
I have the cdj 2000 not nexus theres anyway to have a bigger waveform?
amazing man
your an awesome tutor!
hi mate, there is one thing i would like to know i have this cdj but virtually pioneer can you tell me how to add folders of music and how to search them? i do know how to add a song but not how to add folders of songs.
do you need blank cd to use the cdj or can you load tracks straight from the mac into the cdj???
Hey man, great tutorial!
Just one quick question.
Can i somehow possibly get all the cue points from vitrual dj (computer software) into a USB and then transfer them onto the CDJ?
no
Thank you again dear sir
how do i set the loop even b4 i press play on the song, while its paused on headphones. do i just go to that spot click in? and will it set? how do i extend it while paused also?? i wana mix at open deck nights without having to bring my controller. so i dont currently own cdjs
does the tracks in usb neet to be wav or mp3 ??
thanks man for this tutorial......
great informative vid
You are the best tanks for your videos 5 stars
@King Aragorn made my day^^
Some people like to use high end equipment to start off on. It saves them from spending even more money buying low end only to realize they want to bump up to high end. Not everyone, but some.
It's still wild to me that "the art of DJ'ing" now assumes track analysis and that all the equipment has embedded support for beat quantization. Looking forward to your rekordbox deep-dive; curious whether it has good support for tracks in which the tempo changes, and how the 'nudging' feature on the CDJ hardware interacts with those situations.
it doesn't indeed!
I know this was made a long time ago... but your cdjs don’t have a ‘sync’ button... how would you do this on these ones??
excellent verbage and smooth steps
What Mixer is this obvious pioneer as noticed some fx, near the right deck if these are fx's many thanks
djm-900 nexus
Thank you
could you tell me which dj player must be buy for beginner ?
Very cool
In rekordbox you can either /2 or x2 the bpm of a track..especially usefull now when a lot of dj´s go thru a various amount of bpm thru a set, me included. Is this possible to do on the fly on the cdj? Let´s say a dubstep track is originally set to 70bpm, but you might want it to show 140bpm..or the other way around. If this is possible, it would be great if you could share your knowledge about that :)
Felguk & Yves V - WOW. one of the biggest tracks of 2012.
is it possible to memorize the cue points in the memory stick, the one I got all my songs on, or do you need a memory card for each cdj?
Looserdoll Cue points automatically save to the rekordbox database on your flash drive. You only need one as long as the other decks are connected via LAN
nice thank you
Ten per track plus three hot cues
thnks really thnks i have a event in 7 hrs
marco antonio garcia peña hahahahha wtf
Sometimes you are just a digital DJ and the scary CDJ will be your gear tonight hahahahahaha
@@gomesdiogo I am a digital dj now, used to to vinyl. But it's true. Ya gotta know how to use this stuff.
lol mines in 10 hrs ahah
Mines in 1 day fuck
thanks!
