    Great Video fella. Thanks. hope you can help with this. I am trying to broadcast a radio show from home so I do need to use both booth and monitor as I may need to turn the volume down in my house without effect the volume of the broadcast. currently I have the master volume acting normally but the booth has no effect. My speakers are connected to my amp and my amp is going to phono master sockets on my controller DDJ SR2. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers!!!

    I have the exact same setup but with two turntables (technics and audio-technica) unfortunately when we moved and reconnected everything (exactly as I kept photos on exact connections to ensure it was repeated) the turntables stopped producing sound... Not quite sure what happened as the phono plugs were working just fine before and I figured that the mixer had a built in pre-amp or my receiver did. Any thoughts?

  • @dsquareddan
    @dsquareddan Před 6 lety +3

    One thing you didn't mention, you need to set the CDJ player # BEFORE you connect the LAN cables or plug in any media to the player. Set the player # in the CDJ settings to the same channel you are plugging into the mixer. You'll know it's good because moving the fader volume of that channel should turn the platter of the CDJ red telling you it's "live".

    A noobie here with Xone 92 mixer but should be the same set-up when connecting to one studio monitor. So do I just plug in either Left or Right XLR output of my mixer into my XLR balanced input of my studio monitor (Adam A3X?)
    1) I'm confused about how sounds will come from Left or Right side, or they will come as mono by default...
    2) Is this something that I need to do on the Traktor software or on the mixer? Is that what mono button for booth section is?
    Thanks

    Do I need a separate amplifier from the mixer or you just connect the xlrs straight to the PA? Same question if Im using turntables, I know it has pre amps in phono but still. Tldr does a mixer serve as an amplifier too. Stupid question but just wanna be sure.

      i thougt that depends on the system. If you’re using active speakers you can directly connect them to the mixer. I don’t know how it works with an amp but i guess the same process. passive speaker to amp, amp to mixer

      Using the SPDIFs eliminates clipping on the inputs. but more importantly it eliminates unnecessary steps of conversion :)

    - Where/what exactly should I connect the LAN cables to for the XDJ's?
    - How exactly would I get a quantized connection from the XDJ's to the DDJ?

    Works great
    But when I added 2 Technics 1210 m5g i start having problem with my monitors
    When i play turntables master channel shows only one side of signal
    So as an example if i play left turntable only right monitor works
    And if i play the right one the left monitor works only
    If I include cdj’s into a mix both monitors works perfectly
    M I missing something?

      @@kimberleybarrett6752 you should use a switch with enough ports and enough capacity. You don’t actually need big capacity for this purpose. I would definitely suggest some 5 port ubiquiti like this one: store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-routing-switching/products/usw-flex-mini.
