NOW THIS eased my mind of switching from controller to cdj at the club for my first show. all i wanted to know was to load tracks and simply navigate the system. this was so straight forward and easy. def alleviated hella stress for me
jesus... thank you for taking the time to explain. it's these basic fundamentals so many assume or common knowledge but some still need the help. thank you thank you!!!
I have another video on here about how to adjust the beatgrid on the CDJ and another video on how to use rekordbox (how to export and adjust beatgrids). Should be under recent uploads!
Thank you so much!! Tonight i have to spin at a veneu and i didn't now that much of the cdj's 2000 nexus but because of this vid i already know much more! Thanks again!!
Hi Chrisitian. Useful stuff! By choosing the playlist mode on the browser, the tracks will be shown exactly in the same order like in the rekordbox playlist? When I export the files to a usb drive, Rekordbox creats them in folders and it looks like it loses the order of the tracks in the playlist....
I stumbled across your videos and so happy to see an educated mobile dj. Its nice to see new djs excited about the new adventure in djing and the dj world but sometimes feels like all I see is the same old. I am so happy to see you have dedicated much of your life and career in educating your self as a dj producer planner production lighting. .... this is my plan minus the producer I wish you the best of success your new subscriber rocky Atlanta music dj
Rekord box has a collection feature on the computer program does the cdj's come with the option to find your linked tracks as well? or is this just a feature to make faster/better/easier mixes? Thanks for the video, very informative!
Hi Christian! Great video! I have a question: How do yo do to see the BPM in your browsing window? In my case, I only see the track Title, but no BPM. In this video you have BPM right next to the title track. How do you do it?
Did you ever find the answer to this? I'd like to know as well Edit: found it. If you have your USB in rekordbox, navigate to it under "devices" and then you can choose which column to show next to the title of the track.
How do you access a preset playlist? I flow through different BPMs and genres. I'm trying to ditch the Macbook and go USB but am now unsure these searches will be helpful for me. Loving your tutorials by the way!!!!
Thank you for sharing. I have a question. I've seen the needle feature being used on a Pioneer video to jump to specific places on the track that's currently loaded while it's playing but I tried doing that on my cdj 2000 and all I get is a Needle Lock warning. Is there a way to remove
I have Couple of questions, - I download songs from youtube converter it always shows the BPM after a few seconds ( 5-10 ) How can i save the bpm? so that i can see the BPM without waiting? - at 2:06 you see on the screen the track in the middle of the screen, By me is it empty?? Is it because i download from youtube converter?? ( i've Tested a Professional CD from Hardwell and got the same problem with the screen, it recognize the BPM and the track, i can see the track under the screen but not in the middle its empty only what appears there is the bars thing ZOOM and GRID ) -My previous CDJ, CDJ-1000mk1, when i select a track and play it, and press on cue it goes back to the begin of the track, But when do it by the CDJ-2000 NXS it goes to the previous track where i saved the cue ( very annoying ) to get the cue in begin of the track i have to play > Playbutton>PreviousTrackButton(it goes to begin of the track)>Cue. Then its saved at the begin of the track - What means needle lock and how can i shut it off?? - What does the master button do???
don't use youtube to download your music usually you'll get poor quality tracks that sound shit over a house system in a club. google the title of the tracks followed by 320 kbp
Hey man not sure if your responding to this but can i get a waveform on my CDJ 2000 or only the CDJ 2000 Nexus has a wave form? I think the one in your video is the Nexus 2000...?
I have a question, at 2:06 you have to parts on the display. The screen with the zoomgrid tap and the other one. How do you comeback into the screen with the zoomgrid when you searched for some track in the menu?
Hi, I want to know .. if i make folders inside the USB disk, for example (Top 40, Electro House, Trap) .. will it reflect inside the pioneers as folders as well ? Or .. does it display all the songs without any ability to access them via folders ? Also, can you connect serato or traktor to the decks and play the music off your laptop ???
Is there a preview option for a track before loading it to any deck. If not when you load it to any deck and search the track and decide you will not play it now, would it count it as play count 1?
Hello i have a problem with CDJ 2000. Just came back from service and...first , when I load song it starts immediatly to play..and second when i change playlist the old song from previous playlist remain. Do you know is that a technical issue or i can make some menu modifications. Thankss
i have a gig using these soon but am not that familiar with them, just want to know if you have analyzed your tracks with rekord box on a pc at home and them put them on a usb and put it in the mixer at the venue will the analysed info still be there?
It will analyze all your tracks but it will obviously will take a while to get the complete info and waveforms since the tracks wasn't analyzed with rekordbox
Hey Christian, I currently use traktor; but more and more as I go higher on the totem pole, I only see rekordbox. Clubs are not willing to fit my laptop in. My question is, is there a way to sort by key and bpm like I can in traktor? I have cdj 2000s.
Sure. Anytime you are in a list of songs, hit the menu button, then sort. When you do this, your list of “active sort” metadata will show up. Then you can select bpm or key and everything will sort in order.
I wanted to know if the new equipment like xdj, new nexus read normal so I saw videos that it only recognizes its pendrive if it is passed by the recordbox ???
hey chris im having this issue with my CDJ 2000 when im trying to change songs , "Pause or Unlock SW turn off Lock" which I cant find to do so . can you help with this
The CDJ will show you the info available from the track, normally there's no difference between normal MP3s and rekordbox ones, just make sure tracks info is complete
Can I sort my songs according to BPM in each folders or the BPM sprt is for the entire list of songs in all the folders? It would be a mess of genres if it shows for the entire songs in my rekordbox playlist
Just a question...I load the 1 usb on the cdj nexus 2000 and i choose playlist i made and scanned in RB and link to the other player and choose bpm to view them and i select and choose a song and i notice that on the other player that displays the some bpm values of some songs turn into the same key. Is the player letting me know they are compatible songs? Can these settings be changed in preferences in RB or is this a default action?
+Christian Jackson Cool does it show numeric key if i add in RB preferences? Also i Club i play at just got CDJ nexus 2000's put in brand new firmware updated but there were a few faults...one player went into emergency loop function and i couldn't get out of it i had to turn off/on player to start using again and some files were saying they were "collapsing" and some files take a long time to load...is this a scanning issues in RB or USB defect...Have you had any experience dealing with these issues?
+David Stone probably your USB. Very rare to have a cdj fail from a firmware update. Numeric key is proprietary to mixed in key. You can add those to the comments section of your tags, but rekordbox uses the actual key notation.
I was spinning the other night and the CDJ2000 didn't have a phase meter, it didn't appear when I had selected a track, how do I make it appear when it isn't?
Your videos make Pioneer's "official" videos look like children's finger paintings. Direct, informative, beautifully narrated. MAJOR THUMBS UP!
NOW THIS eased my mind of switching from controller to cdj at the club for my first show. all i wanted to know was to load tracks and simply navigate the system. this was so straight forward and easy. def alleviated hella stress for me
Good tutorial for people that dj at a venue for the fist time with cdjs!

mee! This guys a life saver
Isn't this the Nexus? 2000's have no rekordbox button nor display the waveform? lol
jesus... thank you for taking the time to explain. it's these basic fundamentals so many assume or common knowledge but some still need the help. thank you thank you!!!
First time using cdjs. I’ve been using turntables and vinyl for years, time to expand. This video is very helpful
Thank you for this ! I never thought cdjs would be easy for searching for songs
I have another video on here about how to adjust the beatgrid on the CDJ and another video on how to use rekordbox (how to export and adjust beatgrids). Should be under recent uploads!
Pleaaaaaaaase make more tutorials!!!! You're a master in explaining! Thank you!!!
great job man. your tutorials were exactly what I needed and was looking for!
Should use a CDJ2000 and not a Nexus. Could prove confusing for some
Thank you so much!! Tonight i have to spin at a veneu and i didn't now that much of the cdj's 2000 nexus but because of this vid i already know much more! Thanks again!!
Very good work! Like how deep you go into the details.
Good tutorial, well explained now I feel ready for my first gig!
Hi Chrisitian. Useful stuff!

Best tutorial i’ve ever seen- THANKS
Great video! Is it possible to view tracks showing their BPM and Key in the menu at the same time?
I stumbled across your videos and so happy to see an educated mobile dj.

I am so happy to see you have dedicated much of your life and career in educating your self as a dj producer planner production lighting. .... this is my plan minus the producer I wish you the best of success your new subscriber rocky Atlanta music dj
been djing for a few years now and had no idea you can hit the menu button to sort or press/hold to skip thru searching !!! (works on my xdj RX)
Rekord box has a collection feature on the computer program does the cdj's come with the option to find your linked tracks as well? or is this just a feature to make faster/better/easier mixes? Thanks for the video, very informative!
Hi Christian! Great video!
I have a question: How do yo do to see the BPM in your browsing window? In my case, I only see the track Title, but no BPM. In this video you have BPM right next to the title track. How do you do it?
+Emi Galván Can You also instead of BPM put your COMMENTS here? I use comment to write KEY with Mixed in KEY.
Thanks you very much :)
Did you ever find the answer to this? I'd like to know as well
Edit: found it. If you have your USB in rekordbox, navigate to it under "devices" and then you can choose which column to show next to the title of the track.
Thank you so much for this. I wasn't previously aware of the tag list and I believe this is going to be a really helpful feature moving forward!! :)
Maybe a video on how to set up your equipment out of the box or a really useful one would be how to record your mixes to a computer

Is there a way to stay in browse mode after you selected a track?
I have Couple of questions,

- What means needle lock and how can i shut it off??
- What does the master button do???
don't use youtube to download your music usually you'll get poor quality tracks that sound shit over a house system in a club. google the title of the tracks followed by 320 kbp
will the CDJ automatically find the key and BPM?
If you use Rekordbox, yes
loved it man!
Hey man not sure if your responding to this but can i get a waveform on my CDJ 2000 or only the CDJ 2000 Nexus has a wave form? I think the one in your video is the Nexus 2000...?
rekordbox vdj crossfader not syncing with djm2000, any advise
Thanks mate, I could not figure out how to bring up the sort feature lol
I have a question, at 2:06 you have to parts on the display. The screen with the zoomgrid tap and the other one. How do you comeback into the screen with the zoomgrid when you searched for some track in the menu?
Use the Back button.
hey nice video.. but you can tell me how to convert a hard drive so i can play via cdj 2000?
Hi, I want to know .. if i make folders inside the USB disk, for example (Top 40, Electro House, Trap) .. will it reflect inside the pioneers as folders as well ? Or .. does it display all the songs without any ability to access them via folders ? Also, can you connect serato or traktor to the decks and play the music off your laptop ???
man, you saved me!!
can you preview a track in your headphones while a track is/or not playing straight from the cdj without loading it?
Thanks!
great tracklist :)
above & beyond
that was genius. thank you!
Great tips.. God Bless :)
Dang, I really wanted to learn about the CD Menu
Is there a preview option for a track before loading it to any deck. If not when you load it to any deck and search the track and decide you will not play it now, would it count it as play count 1?
great
thanks bro

A video on going from like 128 bpm to 140 bpm ?
@christianjackson can i do this without uploading to reckordbox
Hey. If you are using LINK, how do you choose the playlist? I could not reach to it don't know why it just doesn't show that option. Only on USB.
if you do not analyze your mp3s with Rekordbox, what information will you see on the screen when you plug in the flash drive? Just the song names?
The CDJ will show you the info available from the track, normally there's no difference between normal MP3s and rekordbox ones, just make sure tracks info is complete
is that Cdj 2000 or cdj 2000NXS?
Can I sort my songs according to BPM in each folders or the BPM sprt is for the entire list of songs in all the folders? It would be a mess of genres if it shows for the entire songs in my rekordbox playlist
What if i want to show key and bpm at the same time? Any tutorial on this
Is it possible to sort the tracks by most played?

Is the player letting me know they are compatible songs? Can these settings be changed in preferences in RB or is this a default action?
+David Stone that's the traffic light indicator. It shows compatible keys. I don't believe there is a setting to turn it off

I was spinning the other night and the CDJ2000 didn't have a phase meter, it didn't appear when I had selected a track, how do I make it appear when it isn't?
