DJ: Connecting Your Laptop (CDJ 2000 NXS2)

At the moment, you can only connect and use your laptop in HID mode with the equipment in our DJ studios. You will need to bring the following:

• 3 USB A-B cables, 2 going from your laptop to each CDJ and one for the DJM - they only accept USB B (see picture below). 3 cables are needed because our decks are not linked to the DJM automatically, so each component will need to be connected to your laptop. 
• A USB hub with 3 USB A ports — to connect the CDJs together, with the DJM straight into your laptop OR to connect the CDJs and DJM together into one port of your laptop
• The full paid version of DJ software such as Rekordbox, Traktor or Serato
• Windows users only - The updated Pioneer drivers on your laptop

Read here the instructions on how to get set up with the DJ equipment using your laptop.

Alternatively, here are some videos for setting up your laptop with all main DJ software:

Rekordbox

Serato

Warning! Serato Mac users, please hold off updating to macOS 14 Sonoma, as it isn't yet supported.

Traktor

Virtual DJ

Here's a guide on how to connect your laptop to the CDJs and DJM, if you're a Virtual DJ user. Despite you are welcome to try it, this has not been tested by us and it isn't actively supported.

Are you in a room with CDJ 3000s instead? This guide will be the one you're looking for.
