Hello, I need help on how to connect my 2 pioneer cdj2000 to virtual DJ 7, the menu has changed. Every time I try to setup sound it goes through the same channel... How can I setup up each CDJ2000 to a different output ?
I tried going back to version 6.12 but the config menu will not go back to the old menu. Also every time I open Virtual DJ 6.12 a popup menu tells me that my Pioneer firmware needs to be updated. Yet I have the latest version.
Hoping for a prompt answer as I have a gig this Saturday (Oct. 23rd).
Thank you all for your help.

I'm guessing that you want to use the CDJs as USB MIDI controllers and sound cards, yes?
Without having done this myself, I'd say that you will probably need to set each CDJ to a different MIDI channel for starters.
Make sure you've installed the Pioneer ASIO & MIDI drivers.
Then when you run VDJ it should be aware that there are two controllers/sound cards connected. How they will be labelled I don't know - check the CDJ2000 manual.
If for example they are labelled CDJ-2000 1 and CDJ-2000 2, then you'll need to set VDJ to 'external mixer' mode then assign one deck to CDJ #1 and the other deck to CDJ #2.

No ... the units are HID and you do not set them up that way ....
First - make sure you have that last ASIO drivers from Pioneer. With the drivers properly installed they will automatically combine the units into a 4-out sound card. So all you have to do is use the basic Sound card configuration options as follows:
Inputs - None
Outputs - External Mixer - Deck 1 Chan 1&2 / Deck 2 Chan 3&4
Sound card - ASIO - and select the Pioneer ASIO drivers from the drop-down
Second - go into UTILITY mode by holding the INFO button down for about 3-4 seconds. Scroll through the options to the HID mode option and put the units in Advanced HID mode. (see the CDJ instructions for more detailed steps if needed)
Third - now, put the units link LINK mode by pressing the LINK button followed by pressing the Track Browse button.
Using VirtualDJ 7 - go to the Config -> Mappers tab and click on the button to the right of the controller drop-down. You will find a Deck Assignment option. For the 2 Deck skin setup - just make sure the CDJ-2000s are both on Default. Close the dialog.
Now, look at the CDJ displays and specifically the TRACK numbers - your left deck should show Track 01 and right deck 02 - if not, simply press the EJECT button to swap the deck assignments.
Just FYI, the reason you get the 'firmware upgrade' message in 6.1.2 was because your units are using the Standard HID mode - which I had you change above in the 2nd step.

Hello Cstoll,
For me , with VDJ 7 & 2 CDJ-2000, the 2 sound cards work well.
But as controllers, the 2 CDJs are in track 2, and if i press eject... the 2 units are in track 1 !!
So, how can i invert only one controller ?
Thanks in advance,

You have done wrong setup.
You should go to config and in the sound tab select advanced config as output.

It should look like this :)

No. Do the setup as I stated. Do not do it as a 2 card setup and do not use the advance config if you are only setting up the two (2) CDJs.
And you didn't follow my steps if both units are deck 2. Go to the mapper tab and assign one unit to deck 1. Read my post again.

Hello Guys,
My set with 2 x Pioneer cdj-2000 and Virtual Dj works perfectly.
Yesterday i tried the same thing as you explaint and i get the same problem when i changed my settings.
Just reset the virtual DJ software in the manufacter settings en rsetart again the pc.
Install the following options : Input none, external mixer, pioneer asio driver and everything works perfectly.
In my setup i work with the latest Pioneer firmware 3.20 and the latest version of Virtual Dj Pro.
By pressing the eject key you can change the two players. Don't forget to set the Pioneers cdj's in advanced HID mode.
You have even the covers of the mp3 numbers on the pioneer display

i have got my CDJ2000 (nexus's) working (using the steps above), they both work fine (play, pause, pitch control etc....) the only issue im having is my volume faders on my DJM 2000, i can not control my channel volume faders. anyone know how to enable this??? as its really annoying to try and record!! :P
Posté Wed 24 Apr 13 @ 8:41 am
The DJM2000 is a real hardware mixer - You should not map it to control the internal software mixer in VirtualDJ (See http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/MIDI%20mapping%20an%20external%20DJ%20mixer.html )
Please see the following FAQ page for details on how to record correctly when using a hardware mixer: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Recording%20your%20set%20or%20broadcasting%20when%20using%20an%20external%20DJ%20mixer.html

Hi guys, I have the CDJ 2000 & DJM 2000 set up. Im trying to connect them to VDJ pro 7 on windows 8. However I keep getting an error message saying "Error in the ASIO sound driver: Your soundcard is probably not connected, or the settings are incorrect." So I get no sound through my speakers at all. I have downloaded all the latest drivers, set everything up as stated above but still nothing :( Can anyone help me???

Hi
I just bought 2 CDJ 2000 nexus, and I havn´t tried to plug it in to my VDJ 7,4 yet.
Do the CDJ´s have the same problem as Denon Dn-s3700, that if I´m playning a song connected to VDJ and then choose to play a song from USB stick on the player, the VDJ krashes because the soundcard is missing(disabled on the player..)?
I hade to use external soundcard to be able to switch between VDJ and USB/CD.
