      Hi crossfader, would not be easy just to use a USB to record your mixes? And a camera or phone for video? Not sure if I am missing something . Thank you!

    I think one of the advantages of using an external recorder you guys missed. It's that you can also record the crowd and if you make a video or even a mix set bring in the crowd cheers to flaunt your talent even more.

    It’s 44 hours and 53 minutes not 44 minutes and 53 seconds that can be recorded via the WAV format - WAV (44.1khz, 16 bit) runs at 10.09MB per minute not 606MB 😂

    The most useful solution is direct recording via usb calble from the X1850 to the laptop and use the free software Audacity! Every channel including the rec out is recorded separately, and there are no losses because of double (D/A and then A/D) coding.

    Couldn’t figure out for the absolute longest how to record on Audacity with a Pioneer 900 Nexus 2 on a Mac. After watching countless videos on UA-cam and reading help forums online I finally found the answer. One small tip that was not mentioned on this video either; Under the Mixer Output tab on the settings utility, turn ALL channels to “Mix (Rec Out)”.

    Hi mate, I’m looking into video recording my vinyl dj sets at home. Just a couple of things I need to know really.
    1 - What sort of camera do I need for video recording? I’m just looking basic.
    2 - mostly important, How do I get the best sound quality from the mix? Would I need an output from my mixer, or I’ve got a Scarlet interface actually? Do I need to input the signal from the mixer to the video recording device? I could really do with some clarity on this please. Thanks Andy

      @@nickh4989 i might be mistaken here but if its anything like my issue, am i right in saying that you mean, when you record in audacity, the recording picks up the sound in your headphones out on the mix yeah, if thats the case then after your mix has recorded you will see two input channels representing stereo, as i have a ddj 200 controller, this doesnt have its own soundcard and uses the laptops, so what i have to do in audacity is split the stereo by clicking the x on the bottom waveform therefore i am then left with a mono recording, but at least i cant hear the headphones, might be off track but i think thats what you mean.

I only have the two outputs for speakers, as well as the output to the laptop ( between the console and the laptop I have an external drive for the music). What equipment is needed to record my sets and the crowd as well? Smiles. Also can you tell me what equipment I will need to connect up more than just two speakers?

    Thanks for this video! I was wondering, though: When recording a set from the mixer to Audacity on your pc/laptop, why is the external soundcard necessary? Why not simply connect the rec out from your mixer via an RCA/3.5 mm jack cable to the mic input on your pc? I'm just trying to figure out what the actual advantage of that external soundcard is in this setup.

    • @Crossfader
      @Crossfader  3 роки тому +2

      The 3.5mm input on most laptop's is set up for Microphones rather than line level inputs. As such it runs a lot hotter and will distort when a line level device is connected like a mixer. Some laptops will allow you to change this, but not all, as such we can't recommend this method :)

    Using the build in recording feature of Rekordbox is a big hassle. It always compresses my audio unevenly (high and mid more) any settings or level I'm playing. Does anyone experience this?
    I'm starting to think maybe it's related to the fact I'm using 320 mp3 and the output is wav and the realtime conversion causes this.

      I was having this same problem. I don't know how to explain this well because I'm not yet technically proficient but basically your mixer is a sound card with 8 channels. Since your 5/6 channels are set to "Mix (Rec Out)", you have to select these specific channels for recording. Unfortunately, Audacity does not support this (I don't know if it does in later versions). You could try to set up Serato so that it records on 1/2 but I don't know how to do that. If you're on Mac you can use Garageband: Create an audio track, select your mixer and select "Inputs 5 + 6" in the inputs drop down box.

    Would a session out jack do the job as well?
