Connect CDJ's to Traktor Pro

First of all get to know what really will be there.
It is not a matter of CDJs alone, but also what mixer is there etc. Maybe the rig at the festival is already Traktor ready.

Then tell us what will be there (usually if a gig is really 1000+ people you should get what equipment you can expect to be on stage). Also if you have any decent controller you might even simply ask the Festival tech to bring yours. Last 10 Festivals I played this was ZERO problem, since most festivals have stage techs anyways and that gives them something to do and feel important 😉
Also booth size at festivals is usually huge, so you should not have any problems with setting up while the other guy still plays or even simply leave your gear in the booth ready connected.

If you really need to use the CDJs make sure they are fully Traktor supported and possibly the mixer also and linked up. Then crashing should not be a problem.
Even if all that works, to have a Backup USB stick (or 2) as a safety net made in rekordbox is always a good idea. I always bring one, even when I have my controller setup, since if anything fails I just head to the main mixer and mix in from the CDJ.

If you never had experiences connecting Traktor to CDJ 2000, Id say just to be on the safe zone, stick with the USB stick and bring a few good CD’s with you

Theres a lil bit of learning curve to connect Traktor to the CDJ 2000, so unless you already did, its just gonna be a hassle, showin up with your laptop an dcant figured out why Traktor aint workin with the CDJ 2000

Gulli if the mixer is actually a DJM850 or DJM900 NXS there shouldn’t be a need to aggregate the cdjs as the mixers soundcard can be used. The CDJs are then just advanced HIDs, but I am unsure if CDJ 850s are supported as HIDS in Traktor.

OP you need to clarify exactly what gear is available if you want to use Traktor otherwise just prep for using USBs is my advice. If you use MAC I suggest getting Rekordbuddy and sync your Traktor library with Rekordbox. Makes prepping your usb drives easy.

Uhm … I think you do need to aggregate … since your tracks are indeed playing in Traktor, you need to tell Traktor that the output for deck 1 goes to CDJ 1 and for deck 2 to CDJ 2. And that only works if Mac knows both outputs.

Same, but different way, in windows.

CDJ2000 (NXS) work fine for me with mixvibes Cross (and I did use them with Traktor a few times before that). Hook them up, run the Pioneer aggregate tool, set the audio right and off you go.

I stand corrected. Missed the bit on the DJM. So based my response on using an analogue mixer.

Glad you are all sorted
