Power the ddj 400 by connecting the usb cable to your computer, listen with headphones, and connect the cinch output to your sound system while preparing a microphone cue.
Download and install the software after connecting the controller to your computer; the site auto-detects your system (Windows or Mac) and prompts for an administrator password.
Explore Rekordbox decks on the DDJ-400, adjust tempo and key, use beat sync and master functions, and read waveforms, playhead positions, cue points, and hot cues.
Customize Rekordbox settings to adjust language, font size, line spacing, library, preview, hot cues, memory queues, beat sync, audio routing, mic talk over, samples, and video license options.
Master the ddj-400 mixer essentials—deck a/b, crossfader, volume faders, q monitoring, eq and trim, and track loading with the navigation wheel.
Learn ddj-400 deck controls: play, cue with the q button, and shift for reset, plus scrub, scratch, and adjust tempo with the jog wheel platter and ring.
Create and save loops on the DDJ 400 by setting start and end points with the jog wheel, adjust length, and save the starting point to refine loops.
Download two tracks for the final mix in RekordBox. Learn to create a fuller structure by locating your files in the software library.
