Hi guys , i am new here and about to buy the Cross DJ Software.
Right now my mate plays on two cdjs 900 nexus and i play in timecode Vinyl through a Traktor audio 6, everything connectet through a xone db2.
Is it possible to connect the audio 6/vinyls with the two CD Decks by using HID in Cross?

Greetings

Hi Shady,
Welcome to mixvibes. Lack of experience regarding all your questions (someone else will reply to you).
To avoid purchasing wrong version: Important to know that for vinyl you need 'Cross' (full) and not 'Cross DJ'.

Hello!
And as RojeC said welcome!

I have a pretty similar setup (2 CDJ 850s in HID, 2 1200s with CV, and DJM 850 as sound card) and it works great with Cross (the full version).

If you want to use the CDJs and Audio 6 you'll need to look up or be familiar with how to make an aggregate sound card (super easy on mac, and a bit harder on windows but Pioneer makes a helpful app), however I would suggest making things even easier by using the DB2 as the sound card.

Mixvibes does not put restrictions on which sound cards can be used (which is amazing!!), so even though I am not familiar with the Xone DB2 it should work perfectly! You will still need some Cross control vinyl for the turntables, and the 900 nexus's are newer then my 850s so I am not 100% sure if they are supported yet, but I would assume so.

Let me know if you need any help figuring out the set up, even though my gear is different I would assume that the setup would be very similar and could walk you through it more thoroughly.

Thank you very much, waiting for the timecode vinyls to arrive and then we will start working it out.

Hi

I'm replying to this because I have a similar issue and I really don't know how to create a new question in this forums...

After playing arround with the CrossDJ Demo I purchased Cross because I want to use the DVS Feature.

I'm using a NI Traktor Scratch A6 interface but I just can't get it working in Cross. Everything works fine in Traktor Pro 2 - but setting this up in Cross drives me crazy.

So far, the software recognizes the interface and I can select inputs / outputs and settings for the TC Vinyls. But Cross is not able to calibrate them because it doesn't get a signal.

I've searched the internet and this forums but I could not find any setup guide. The Cross description says it works with ANY soundcard even NI and Rane - thats why I bought it.

How does it work? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
Manuel

Thanks for your reply. I'm attaching Screenshots here.

Sorry for german language in screenshots (but you cannot change the language in Cross). The error message (appears when clicking calibrate) at deck 2 says something like "The playback time of the deck is not 1 (or 0). Please reset and try again". But I don't get what this means.
