Using Headphones And Speakers With Djay Pro

8930

Jan 24, 2012 Hi, I am using MacBook Pro 13' and Traktor Pro. I would like to pre-listen to the next song with my headphones while listening to the current song with my speakers, but I only have 1 line out in my macbook. Please see our Audio Hardware page for more information about recommended devices. How to preview a song with headphones: Connect your USB audio interface to your Mac. After djay has detected the device, confirm that you want to use it for Pre-Cueing. Djay will select the turntable audible through your headphones automatically. To change the. You will get a binaural signal for master and pre-cueing, so you will hear sound on both speakers connected to the master channel and in both ears of the headphones connected to the pre-cueing channel. Where to get a split output adapter. One option that will work as a split output adapter for pre-cueing with djay is the Traktor DJ Cable.

Today I’d like to ask a question to our more adventurous, minimal and/or portable gear-loving DJs. That is: Have you ever come across and used any wireless headphones and/or speakers for DJing that are actually useable?

We’ve tested software like Algoriddim’s djay with Bluetooth speakers, for instance, and were also shown a working prototype of a pair of Bluetooth headphones aimed at DJs at the NAMM show (they’ve never hit the market though). We are also big fans of Sonos for throwing music around the home. The problem with such technologies, of course, is always latency (the time it takes for the signal to hit your ears/the audience after you do something on your DJ system), as DJing and latency do not complement each other at all.

The only working method we’ve ever seen has been radio (as in the same kind of technology used for radio microphones or for those little FM transmitters you can use to “broadcast” your iPad to the car stereo on long journeys – great for convoys!), but we’ve never seen any decent DJ-friendly gear along these lines.

The reason we’re asking is purely because a few folk over on the forum appear to be interested in this stuff, we’re hearing rumblings in the industry about wireless / Bluetooth PA systems, and also we just love anything that’s gadgety in DJing… as long as it works well, of course. Ideas?
