Having trouble getting the “extra deck” trick to work. When I engage the roll effect on the channel, it applies to the channel but upon switching to AUX channel and lowering the volume fader for the channel, I lose sound. Any idea where I’m going wrong?
Gr8 quick vid for tricks. However, for the ones out there struggling with the Roll trick, you should've mentioned that in order for the Roll FX to don't skip on Loading tracks on deck one, AUX switch should be set to 0db or 12db, if set to Off it will cause the roll fx to skip back to the start of the loop. It took me ages before I could get that working. I hope this advice can be usefull for the ones out there stuck on this enigma of the roll skip...
I use often Roll efekt 4/1 on my DJM 400 to record first or second channel and while music is playing I can restart my computer or program like nothing happend. This is useful thing for playing with only one CDJ.
Es ist nicht nur für Event-Dj´s interessant. Habe jahrelang mit Vinyl aufgelegt und mit CDJ´s eigentlich nie. Inzwischen kommt man aber nicht mehr an denen vorbei. Da der Controller die gleiche Software und ein nahezu identisches Layout benutzt, ist das für mich die perfekte Alternative zu CDJ´s und Mixer, die nur zum daheim auflegen und Sets vorbereiten einfach zu teuer wären. Daß es ein Standalone-Gerät ist, macht die Sache für mich noch interessanter, weil man so tatsächlich auch mal selber ne mittelgroße Party schmeißen kann, ohne Laptop und die ständige Angst, daß dieser abschmieren könnte^^
Hey guys.. Neat video.. Two questions... Can u please explain more in detail how to properly set and use the Color (knob) function? and also.... In Automix.. There is the crossfade that cuts the playing song out a full 30 secs early. This is not very desirable. Is there a way to alter the length and position of this crossfade in Automix? Thanks a bunch.
WOw !! I just got this baby and I been having a hard time with some of the features, as is totally different than CDJ'sX2 . This video is Awesome thank you !! CHeers
If I've prepared my playlist with all my specific settings in Rekordbox on different equipment and exported my playlist onto a usb, if I then plug that usb into this controller will the controller override any of the settings I created on my exported playlist? Hope that was clear. Love the channel.
Heyy! Can you do a video on midi to the XDJ-RX2? Mine connects at first then say half way through a set will make a loud screeching sound and it disturbs the set I have to turn everything off and back on. Thank you 👍🏽

thanks for these! I couldn't do the mixing in key, the tracks are all analysed in Rekordbox but don't show any other track thank the one playing when I press browse. do you have a troubleshooting tip please?
Thanks for the tips. One question about the roll effect. As soon as I switch from channel to aux the roll effect stops. It doesn't move over to the aux. Did I miss something?
You my friend are a different level lol ...I can beat match but having mixed for probably 10 years now, I want to get bk into mixing amd have been looking at these rx2's but my god how daunting compared to the ole 12/10s, are there course I can take to learn on this piece of equipment? Thanks.....NAMASTÉ
I’ve had the unit for a few weeks now and love it. I’m converting over from Serato DVS. There are a couple of things I haven’t figured out…How do you get the illuminating play head on the jog wheels to load at the 12 o’clock position? Also, when scratching the first beat of a song the playhead tends to lag if there isn’t a silent gap before the first beat. Let me know if there is a solution for this. Thanks!
hello thanks for the video very interesting. The tip2 I have not achieved with my rx2, the bpm or the key does not appear in the browser of my team, both data have been analyzed in recordbox. Maybe I need a firmware update? i have the 1.37 version thanks
Hi, I have a question regarding the play/pause button. When you press play/pause on a CDJ while a track is playing, a stutter effect appears instead of total silence. Is that function available on the XDJ RX2 as well? By the way, your video was really helpful. :) Thanks! :)
How do activate the beat count down? I tried to Indicate the number of bars or beats from the playing position to the nearest stored cue point. But It never works :(
How is it possible to change, that the Song on Deck 1 runs for example from 5 minutes down to 0min and the Song on Deck 2 runs for example from 0 to 5 min?
From someone that won’t be using a laptop, The XDJ-RX2 should have an update to allow the system to read your USB Memory stick folder and determine the KEY automatically, I’m reading that the new Denon Prime 4 does this. This is a shame for people that won’t be using their Laptops and want the next song in key :( Can I import all my tunes into Rekordbox and that will input the BPM and KEY then I can export them to USB stick..?? Would that work?
I think you just need to analyze the songs once with your computer and then the key will be saved on the usb but I cant say for sure as i dont have my unit yet it will arrive this week 🎉
Now I have my unit and i tried it. You can analyze the songs and then export for usb and all the data like bpm, key and so on will be saved on the usb stick👍 so no need for a laptop for your gigs
CursedSound yep just tried it bud all good. The only thing that the video doesn’t state, is the green in key icon, can you only see this when the Controller is hooked up to the comp? Because I can’t see it when the stick is in it not connected to computer hmmm
@@Lee-zg3gx Yes it works without computer you gotta hit browse -> menu -> and i think you choose key there and then you should see the track names, bpm and key and then when you highlight a track as master in the browse menu everything will be marked green that works with this key
CursedSound ahhh cheers mate, I’ll check this out later. Did you happen to see my other query about the Jog Wheel flash when a track is ending? Is there a way of activating this? Seems strange if not and why they made it redundant. I’d rather have the Jog Wheel inner ⭕️ flash rather than the bottom of the track on the touchscreen :(
hi, i probably asked you this question on another video but i don't know how to analyse my tracks from rekordbox onto usb, can you show me a video or give me a link?
Hey Mr. DJ, my tracks are analyzed but it doesn't show the green icon with the tracks in the same key. In fact it neither the key or the bpm are showed to me, only the track name. Can you help me to fix this?
What would you buy for a first gear if you had 1000-1500 pounds to spend? I'd like to start but there's too many options, and my knowledge is so little about this kind of hardware. I read many forums but still no idea. I thought about sz2 but I think it might be too PRO for me. Or maybe not(?)
Most equipment around that price range can be considered as pro equipment but that shouldn't put you off. It just means you won't need to really upgrade down the line. I would first consider deciding wether you want to have a laptop involved in your set up or not. A laptop can provide more creative options and features as a controller can 'do' more than a stand alone unit like this XDJ RX2 however some people just don't like the idea of having a laptop involved in their set up. If not then then I would highly recommend either this XDJ RX2 if you can stretch the finances or the XDJ RR if not. If you're wanting more creative options then there are quite a few controllers around this price range. The DDJ 1000, Denon MCX800, Pioneer DDJ SX3 or SZ2. If you're thinking controller then make sure to look at the difference between Serato & Rekordbox. These two software's are both very robust and you can DJ no problem on both however each can also do things the other can't/has a different feel to it. You can download Rekordbox free for 30 days to trial and Serato DJ Lite (entry level version) for free too. It would be worth downloading both and just having a play around! Then just make a decision from that. We will have some comparison videos around controllers at this price range coming soon but it won't be for a few more weeks yet.

a tip : watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
The "extra deck" trick with using the roll effect is so useful! Definitely my favorite of all these.
This is very cool, yes :)
I dont get it!! Help!!
EDIT: I GOT IT!!! JHEEEEEZ!!!!
Same I used it a lot
Having trouble getting the “extra deck” trick to work. When I engage the roll effect on the channel, it applies to the channel but upon switching to AUX channel and lowering the volume fader for the channel, I lose sound. Any idea where I’m going wrong?
@@fs5317 I’m having the same issue
wow, number 4, using roll as 3rd deck, and number 5, using the secret gate with sweep fx both blew my mind, thanks so much, you're a jedi for sure.
Thank you, I've djing for 3 years. everything was new to me and I appreciate your video.
Tip#2... found it the other day... and you just clarified it.... I tried just now... ! :-) love it

how do you do this?
Yeah, I need to watch all your vids. That sample to aux trick is tops. Heck yeah. So much to learn!
The sample via AUX channel is easily the best for me - Adding a 3rd channel, even in this limited manner is a serious trick for the unit!
That roll aux sampling technique was incredible. Thanks!
All 5 tips are useful to me as I am just starting out, Thank you, Crossfader :)
Happy to help!
thank you for your dj tips and tricks for xdj rx2
I find them very helpful as a dj beginner
Man I never knew you could analyse KEY in rekordbox... This helps a lot
I use often Roll efekt 4/1 on my DJM 400 to record first or second channel and while music is playing I can restart my computer or program like nothing happend. This is useful thing for playing with only one CDJ.
Learned a few new tricks there. Great video thanks.
Bloody brilliant mate! Especially since barely a scant manual comes with this unit
Top tips as always Jamie !! The RX2 is a sweet piece of kit
All great information before my RX2 arrives. Learned a lot. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

Try setting your aux channel switch to 0db or 12db instead of Off and try again?
@@akarshdewan9213 I did try that but also doesn't solve my problem 😞

hello thanks for the video very interesting.
The tip2 I have not achieved with my rx2, the bpm or the key does not appear in the browser of my team, both data have been analyzed in recordbox.
Maybe I need a firmware update?
i have the 1.37 version
thanks
Dude i got the same problem! Did you already found a solution for this??
No idea
Thanks - really like the sampling trick.
Thanks for sharing
Awesome videos :) thanks
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Hey! Seeing in this video you have your waveform colored on the rx2. The waveform for me is blue. How do i edit this?
Aux record effect, very interesting
Hi, I have a question regarding the play/pause button. When you press play/pause on a CDJ while a track is playing, a stutter effect appears instead of total silence. Is that function available on the XDJ RX2 as well?
By the way, your video was really helpful. :)
Thanks! :)
Yes if u disengage the vinyl button feature the stutter effect is there. With it engaged the Pause and Cue work as expected.
Thank you so much !!!!!!
Can you send me a link to a beginner course to the RX2 please?
The vynl just did it great 👍
Great tutorial !
Thanks- keep it coming
I dont think i'll be using this unit anytime soon, but still liked watching your videos, do keep it up
Very nicely done and helpful - thx

How do activate the beat count down?
I tried to Indicate the number of bars or beats from the playing position to the
nearest stored cue point. But It never works :(
Thank you! Great tips .
Good tips for me
How is it possible to change, that the Song on Deck 1 runs for example from 5 minutes down to 0min and the Song on Deck 2 runs for example from 0 to 5 min?
You can only have both tracks either ascending or descending in time, not individual unfortunately
Hi,I wouldknow how to connect the Dj-xp1 to XDJ-RX2? You can help me?
Awesome tricks!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed them!
thank you very much
Hi I’m not able to get the volume of my sample coming out can u help
Awesome stuff! Does the live sampler record on beat, like an auto-loop? Or do you need to get it just right when hitting the button?

how do you use the RX2 with rekordbox
Hello! Congratulations for your videos. Can you connect, RMX-1000 for ipad to this controller?
Can you do a vid when to apply the filter in drum and bass or just some more drum and bass tutorials
How would you rig this up to rekordbox DJ using a Windows machine. Also would it require a license or would it be plug n play.
