Yes you have to pay for your music, no matter what. Be it not being payed or even charity events… the music has to be payed for.

Well Serato usually detects the Controller automatically and routes the audio accordingly.
If the speakers you rented worked and the ones you bought do not, I would rather say there is a speaker problem.
Maybe you used the wrong inputs on the powered speakers or they have a switch to decide which input you are using…

I am sorry since Pioneer is not giving us any hardware to test stuff on, I can only comment on the software and with software alone it works for me.
So you will need to raise a ticket with Pioneer support.

Hey Eddie, welcome and thanks for all the flowers 🙂

That will never happen. Pioneer is well aware that CDJs are a dying breed.
They do only as much as the must do, to milk the cow until it is dead.
Their main focus is on making new controllers and Rekordbox DJ better to keep up with the industry or again surpass it in this area, to be fit for the future of DJ booths.

Thank you deathy, yes indeed.
Yes the first post did violate the NO CAPS in titles rule. I thought it was obvious, as when I post the link to the guidelines I tend to think people will at least then read them and by reading them know what they did wrong 🙂 Also I think it was obvious I changed the topic title in my edit…

And you are also spot on. We are not paid, we do not get anything for helping people here. I think people are profiting a lot from us, as the mods (Vintage and I) have a lot of DJing knowledge, since we do this job for ages (I think combined we have more than 50 years experience) and members like deathy, Rizki and many others who also have a lot of experience.

So yes, we are quite strict on our forum rules. This means not we are mistreating anyone, but we will enforce this rules no matter what. As the goal is to keep this the best DJ forum on the internet, where respect and same treatment for everyone is the main focus.
I stress the word respect, as I consider it also a showing of respect (maybe I am to old, but back in the day this used to be it) when you first read 10 lines of posting guidelines before you post something.

I also do not consider my first post disrespectful, I begin the post with “I am sorry…” and I end with “…Thanks for your understanding.”. I consider this a polite thing. If the sentence “this is your first warning” offends you, I am sorry, but I have to tell you somehow that I am watching people who break the rules.

That being said, I think I was also helpful since I posted you will be OK when using this software, I even tested it on my laptop with SAM, since I used that software too, so my answer was validated.

So please I would ask now to also stay on spot with rules 1 and 2.

Thanks for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience.

The simple answer: Yes.
