The "extra deck" trick with using the roll effect is so useful! Definitely my favorite of all these.

This was great, I really appreciated this tutorial - nice work, thanks. Bought an RX2 last weekend :D

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.

Top tips as always Jamie !! The RX2 is a sweet piece of kit

Awesome video! Shared really important hidden options. Awesome piece of gear!

cheers for this Video. The roll effect is pretty cool. Thank you for the tips

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

Tip#2... found it the other day... and you just clarified it.... I tried just now... ! :-) love it

Thank you, I've djing for 3 years. everything was new to me and I appreciate your video.

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...

Bloody brilliant mate! Especially since barely a scant manual comes with this unit

thank you for your dj tips and tricks for xdj rx2 I find them very helpful as a dj beginner

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!

Man I never knew you could analyse KEY in rekordbox... This helps a lot

Thanks - really like the sampling trick.

Learned a few new tricks there. Great video thanks.

Sample tip is my favourite am using it a lot in mixes now

All 5 tips are useful to me as I am just starting out, Thank you, Crossfader :)

thank you for sharing all the tips and skills!

That key part is sooooo helpful for me thank you so much

Love the sampling tip!

So perfect! Thank you!

Quality content as always!

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.

All was new for me ! Thanks, very usefull

Omg blown my mind 5 times!

Great hints, thanks a lot!

Thank you! Great tips .

Woah, nice tricks, really useful. Thank you.

All great information before my RX2 arrives. Learned a lot. Thanks!

Thanks for making this video!

enjoying your videos, any tips on how to highlight tracks that would key match on DDJ-400! Kepp up the good work.

The third deck trick was awesome. thanks

I had no idea you could create a 3rd channel using the Aux. Amazing, looking forward to playing with this feature

Great video. Learned a lot.

Very nicely done and helpful - thx

Great video. learned some new dj tricks for my rx2. thanks

Thanks- keep it coming

lovely video!! thanx very much!!

- Cheguei . Melhor Canal do Mundo

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?

Excellent tutorial 👌

Oh boy, the roll trick is nice

so great thank you!!! 🙏 😊

My compliments for the tricks. Really helpful.

Great video Thanks!

Great video!

Love these tips

Awesome vid thanks

Great tutorial !

Great vid, all new to me!

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.

Awesome videos :) thanks

Awesome tricks!

Thanks for sharing

Hello! Congratulations for your videos. Can you connect, RMX-1000 for ipad to this controller?

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!

Really cool 👍

very Usefullllllll...😍👌👍

Like commented and subscribed !!!!! Awesome

Thank you so much !!!!!!

Thank you so much ❤️ it would be very Helpfull a tuto like this in Xdj Rx3 please 🙏

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^^

Hi, congratulations for your videos, they are really very useful and fantastic. You are really very good !! I would like to ask you how do I map the features of Rekordbox DJ, with my XDJ-RX2? Unfortunately I can't figure out how to use the XDJ-RX2 console with Rekordbox DJ, and use the various effects offered by the Rekordbox DJ software, I tried a little, but I see that using XDJ-RX2 with the Laptop and Rekordbox, is a bit difficult and limited !! You don't have full control of the effects of Rekordbox DJ on the XDJ-RX, and then the effects buttons like I have to have them in the RX2 console, without having to physically go to my laptop every time to change effect and use the mouse ?! Do you know how to use RX2 with Rekordbox DJ, without using the mouse and having full control? Thank you very much......

thanx a lot crossfadfer team is great

Roll effect the mini vibration is Cool 😎

thank you very much

Hey Jamie great video, the Vinyl Speed adjust trick looked really cool, are you able to do that with the DDJ 1000 and Rekordbox dj software?. I would like to see some videos dedicated to the DDJ 1000 that would be awesome.

More please!!

M8 this was Pure gold

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.

Do you know how to active the demo mode, the buttons changing colours, like in the stores?

Hi could you help me , what tot do when the master tempo is stuck, no way to go back to normal... thanks, and very clear video btw

thanks, cheers :)

Naiss one! ✨️

Good tips for me

I like the roll trick ;)

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

How did you make dark background/theme in your RX2? Please help...

Useful.

Quality video

I want to sign up for your online DJ course so I went to the form and filled it But I don’t get the message back. I can’t still watch any videos. Can you help

Aux record effect, very interesting

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.

thanks for the tips, its taking me 2 years to get this far lol

I dont think i'll be using this unit anytime soon, but still liked watching your videos, do keep it up

Is it possible to record a mix from the XDJ RX2 to a computer software like audacity using the digital usb cable as an output. I have tried and installed all drivers, but audicity does not recognize it as an input. Help please

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?

sweet 👏👏👏

Awesome

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 👍🏽

Hi.Can somebody tell me pls how can you switch over slicer mode on the pads---> on dj rx2 .I can do it on the pc screen in the rekordbox options but rx2 pads simply don't recordnize any changes

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! :)

The vynl just did it great 👍

Can you do one for roland dj-505?
