This is the only tutorial I've found that directly said "buy this kind of switch" and "yes, you just plug them all in and they should talk to each other." I have two XDJ 700s and just ordered an Toraiz SP-16 and was hoping to sync them over DJ Link. Thank you so much for not being as vague as everyone else.
Great content from an extremely nice guy. The USB connection of a DJM mixer to a computer, and the CDJs using UTP/ethernet Pro Link for performance (HID) control in Rekordbox was new to me. I've tested this on my DJM900NXS2 / CDJ-2000NXS2 kit and indeed it works. However if you want to use that same kit as HID controller for any other DJ software but Rekordbox, then a USB connection to each of devices is required. I use my kit mainly in HID mode as controller for Traktor, which means 2 USBs from my CDJ's and one from my DJM, all going into a USB hub in the coffin. The USB hub is then connected to my computer.
Great video. One of the most detailed dj videos I have seen in a long while. Found out about all the info I wanted + loads more too. Now that I have seen it all I do now need a lie down! Thanks Mojaxx :)
Thanks a lot Mojaxx! I don't own any Pro Link capable gear yet, but at least I feel much more prepared to play on this setup, understanding how the whole link system functions!
This is excellent. Many thanks for your research and hard work putting this together. Been looking for more info on Pro Link for a few weeks now and this is WAY better than anything else I’ve been able to find up to now.
Wow you just a huuuge issue with this video! Especially when it comes dj trade offs. Now cross overs are wayyyy easier!! Thank you mojaxxx your the only one who explains this so well!! You’re king!!
There is some information in this video regarding network speed that is actually not correct. 1gig full duplex has been supported since the release of the CdJ2000 nexus 2. This was not only supported, but is actually mandatory for prolink to function correctly on the nexus 2 series. While it CAN work, the use of 10/100 often results in issues with performance that can cause anything from minor issues with operation, to catastrophic and show stopping problems. For this reason, the manual and support documents for the nexus 2 specifically state that a full duplex gigabit connection is required for the nexus 2, and the same advice is given for the 3000’s. You cannot and should not ever use low link speeds when linking devices on prolink from the nexus 2 series, or the 3000 series.
Absolute Top video one again Mojaxx! Learnt that you can do the pro dj link via USB :D Any ideas if Perf Mode works via 1 usb for the Xdj xz + 1 cdj3000?
Great informative video. However since the release of the CDJ3000 the pro dj link is broken when it comes to using sync. It simply doesn't work when using sync, audio does not match. People on the forums have been continually told a fix is coming but they haven't been able to figure it out. It's getting worrying now as iv had them since day one and still nothing.
I’m aware of that issue, but I’m confident it will be fixed - along with a few other things with the 3000s I’d like to see them get done - even if it’s not been done as quickly as we would like. That’s one of the reasons I still have the 3000s, and have yet to do my full review of them.
@@Mojaxx I would have thought a standard feature like that on a premium priced flagship player like that should be working straight out of the box. I was originally expecting some nice added features by now but I won't hold my breath for anything like that anytime soon 😔
The only difference I can find is the beat counting rectangles on the top of the displays. From what I remember, on Pioneer players the beat grid of the Master track automatically controls the top set of rectangles, where the individual player's track is the lower set. Again, from memory, I believe this can me done with the simple sync function. On Denons, it seems that the only way to enable that same feature is by doing a complete sync. I could be doing something wrong, but that's been my experience so far.
Hey MoJaxx, I am lucky to own a DJM-TOUR1, three CDJ-3000s, and a DJS-1000 for my home studio. Any idea on how to get Performance Mode on the screen of the DJM? Too amazing not to use the screen, and no way could I purchase every track that I want to practice with. Thoughts? Your videos are amazing! Thanks again.
I just received a single CDJ-3000 - I only work with 3 decks. & I am trying to Pro Link it to my XDJ-XZ. I have ordered a hub switch to connect all of my equipment - including Mac Book Pro M2 running Rekordbox which is where I prefer to mix my sets. Do I still need to use the usb cord to connect my laptop to the XDJ-XZ? Or are the LAN connectors enough? Any tips & tricks are welcome & appreciated. Thank you.
Hello Dj City. Tnx for your great video tutorial. What do you think about connecting cdj 2000 nexus 2 with ableton 10. So one is dj-ing and the other is following with some loops? Is that possible? Because it seems to me that it's really difficult to find a workaround for this matter. with external apps like carabinier and all that stuff its way to complicated to set up everything. Both Cdj's are connected to rekordbox on a laptop and it's used only as a library. Gear Cdj Nexus 2 and DDJ900 NSX2, Ableton 10 and Push 2. Hope i will find some answer for that since i am really struggling with it :) . tnx Dj City
Great video Mojaxx! I have one question.. When using link export mode with USB do the players still have to be networked together or can you just run two USB cables from the players to the computer?
When you link 2 cdjs and a pro dj link compatible mixer together with a switch and 3 ethernet cables, is the on-air display automatically enabled when the mixer is plugged in or would i have to change a setting?
Hi Mo, I saw you have the DJ City logo on the Jog wheels of the CDJ3000 players, how did you get that done? I emailed Pioneer and they said to me the only way is if i create artwork and load it for each song? I have over 100gb of music on my laptop, the admin on that would be a nightmare, is there a way of doing this like we do on the Denon players?
Very little in this video devoted to performance mode w/ the USB hookup to laptop -- for streaming and future of DJing that is the preferred route, none of this USB stick nonsense. My issue in the perf mode setup is that after an hour and change (validated on multiple macbooks, multiple nxs2 mixers, cdj-2ks, 3ks, etc.) the players stop responding or "lag" significantly with also some audio clipping (think pin drops). I will post a video of this at some point, but pioneer needs to address this as this is not functional in a one hour set in performance mode to have performance of the players degrade to this level. On top of this, in this setup, on-air display doesn't work (not a biggie as you can see it on the player and in a simple setup, you should know what is 'on air'). Any ideas out there?
I sync my DJS1000 up to my CDJ3000s via PRO DJ Link via ethernet however, whenever I mix from one CDJ into the other the DJS1000 keeps assuming MASTER control instead, ideally when I mix one track into another on my CDJ3000s the MASTER should switch between the two CDJs only, with the DJS1000 only ever being in SYNC mode...this means the CDJs lose the function where the active decks displays the other decks waveform above..also messes up the BPMs aswell. Is there a way you can ensure the CDJs are always the master and the DJS sample is always the slave/sync?
Hey 😀 I have a tricky question, and you seem like the right guy to ask. I have 1 Djm900nxs2, 2 xdj1000mk2 and one toraiz sp-16. They all work flawlessly together in pro dj link. But here is the tricky part. If i buy an additional Xdj xz, will they all work together in pro dj link and i can assign deck 1-4 across mixers? The connection will be like this: Both Xdj1000mk2, the Djm900nxs2 and the toraiz sp-16 goes directly into the ethernet switch. So will the xdj xz from the extension ethernet port or one of the channel 3 & 4 slots. So the setup will be using 5 or 6 ports in the switch. But the toraiz does not count as a player, because it can't take over the master bpm, it just collects bpm from the players, so it wont take up one of the 4 maximum pro dj link slots. Neither will the Djm900nxs2. So 4 decks in total. So then assigning decks 1-4 it would be 1 & 2 from the Xdj1000mk2s, and 3 & 4 from the xdj xz. And it will be all run from a computer in export mode ofcourse. This should theoretically work right?.. If you understand what i mean 😅 Edit: this won't work, because the mixers can't communicate with each other
I want to connect these devices that you have "2 xdj1000mk2 and one toraiz sp-16", does it work without the DJM900 also? Reason why I'm asking is that I use a Xone:96
@@Sp3z well, the short answer is that you can always connect them and play, and since the Xone 96 has a ethernet port, they should sync also. But to be sure, ask in the pioneer forum 😊
Why in the hell doesn't a £3k mixer designed for large Pioneer setups NOT have an inbuilt switching hub in 2022? Blows my mind that you still need to have that extra cabling and wiring hanging around the back of the system. Also why isn't there an iPad Rekordbox app?? Pioneer are just not with it.

Don’t you still have to manually tap beat fx bpm for the 900 nxs2? Still doesn’t read bpm right, has to be on auto or tap mode?
does the track preview work via USB? mine isnt working with same setup.
@@everyday602430 If i remember correctly that function only works over ProLink with the 900NXS2 or V10 mixers. But I could be wrong
Do you know if I can record my mixes through this set up somehow?
@@krissww usb to the mixer, u don’t even need to build link connection for that. In export mode, you will c record

The 2000 Nexus was the most underrated mixer Pioneer ever made. I absolutely love mine!
Thank you thank you thank you for breaking this down. It’s been a confusing set up with my cdj 3000s and 900 mixer. This cleared it up!
Excellent video I did learn a lot morer than I do now about Pro Link. Thanks for this...
I want pair of 3000's..
I need 4 and a V10LF
I need 6 and V10 and some money
I need 3 of them, a V10LF, a way better healt so I’m not sick every day, a Porsche and F-35 because I love their sound.
A9 has dacs that are just as good, maybe slightly better than the v10.
This video is very well done and informative. I see the work!!
This really was the ultimate guide. Awesome video! I’ve owned a nexus1 setup for 8 years and learned a lot just now. Much appreciated!
What a fantastic video thank you!
Finally got to Pioneer A9 & 2 x 3000’s
This video is a god send 👏👏
what is fantastic on A9 which cannot link multiple 3000 direct into the mixer - I mean you spend 3k on mixer which does not have sockets for that...

Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, there is no objective ‘winner’ out of the two.
What is code coupon for Dj city music download is there any coupon code 🤔
Is there somewhere I can find on how to use Link to synchronize the BPM on a DJM_A9 to CDJ-3000s?
Is it possible to use CDJ/XDJs together with something like SP-16 but without a Pioneer mixer (I use Xone:96 and nothing else)?
If the faster Ethernet switch works only on cdj3000 why did you say you’d buy that..? Trying to understand which type of switch to buy
do you need to use the agergator then?
