Ableton with Pioneer CDJs?

[TheCompactDisco]

So i'm going to be DJing at a local club, and they have a pair of CDJ's and a DJM from Pioneer. The super professional black ones, you know.

I was wondering how i could use those in tandem? if i cant i'll just use abeton. Just wondering.

Are you asking how to use them with Ableton?

Depending on your sound card you could run the CDj's into ableton, set a beat with ableton and manual match the CDj's then you could have alot of fun sampling parts and bringing them into and out of the mix at various points. You dont even have to run them into Ableton but it's easier in my opinion to match the Cdj's to Ableton than Ableton to the Cdj's but it can be done either way.

Hope that helps.

CDJS in DJM Ableton into DJM, headphones out of DJM.
Its probably worth testing out before the venue opens, u dont want to go setup as the DJs before you, get to your slot and figure out it wont work then.
But obviously, youd thought that anyway

Well, i think the line out from the laptop to the cdj's to the clubs pa mixer should work.

All that beatmatching could get tiring. I dont even know how i'd do that. Thanks for your help.

I was messing around with my friends CDJ's last night at his loft. If i send audio out of my laptop via the headphone port, and into the DJM, can i still do all the effects or no?
