The user then transfers the analyzed tracks, playlists, hot cue banks, and cue points all onto a USB device so they can be played on the decks.
PIONEER CDJ 2000 SET SOFTWARE
Within the software the user is able to create playlists, store cue points, and completely analyze tracks so that the CDJ-900 displays the BPM, track, artist, album, track time, waveform data, and more. The Rekordbox software GUI looks a lot like a CDJ-2000. This way the files load faster and they can contain tags, waveform track readout, and stored loops in each track being played. If we decide to use the USB playback option, then it is better to use the Rekordbox software that was included with the CDJ-900 as a music file management system. If we are using time-coded CD’s with an external soundcard for playback, then the CDJ-900 is connected per the soundcard device specifications (i.e. If we are using the CDJ-900 for MIDI playback (mapping coming soon for Traktor/Serato/Etc.) then we must still use the RCA cables for mixer hookup, but the library and audio playback will come from the Computer via USB-A to USB-B cable. If you are playing regular CD’s and using the CD slot or the USB slot for USB device playback on the CDJ-900, then the hookup is simply plugging the RCA cable from the deck into the assigned channel line input on the mixer. The only things that will change depend on the type of way you are connecting the CDJ-900 into your setup. The setup of the Pioneer CDJ-900 was just as it is with any other tabletop CD type of deck. The Touch Sensitive Jog Wheel is in the center for easy manipulation and the top is ribbed for easy grip and traction. All of the main functional playback buttons are VERY solid and most of them are of metal construction, while the smaller buttons (for loops and cueing) are a hard durable plastic. There is a USB port mounted to the top of the deck for easy Flash drive/Hard drive playback. The size of the unit seems to be about the same as previous CDJ decks but slightly bigger than the older CDJ-800s.
