Feb 18, 2020 In Native Instruments’ “Traktor Pro Public Beta Test” forum, there’s been a fair amount of activity since early January. The news is that Traktor Pro 3.3 is coming out in the near future, and a number of new features and bug fixes are included – including XDJ-1000MK2 support. At the same time, two controllers finally.

The Lowdown
The Pioneer CDJ-350 feels like a consumer device rather than a serious piece of DJ gear, which for the price means we’re not big fans of it. You’re better off saving up for something like the XDJ-700 or XDJ-1000MK2 instead.
First Impressions / Setting up
The Pioneer CDJ350 is a digital turntable that can play from USB thumb drives and CDs and can also be used as a MIDI controller along with your DJ program of choice.
The screen and buttons on the CDJ350 are bright which is great for low-light situations. Scrolling through tracks from a USB is easy and intuitive with all the necessary details all on the screen such as BPM and tempo grid on there. It also has a tempo adjuster and Master Tempo button that changes the pitch of the song when disengaged.
Other functions include a playlist button, options for manual and automatic loops and a vinyl mode for scratching.
In Use
Creating loops is easy on the CDJ350s and you have the option to cut them to 1/2, 1/4, 1/8. The jogwheel and faders feel smooth and has a decent nice weight to them.
Using the 350s as a Midi controller is simple and is compatible with Rekordbox DJ. The package does not come with the cable to connect it to a laptop.
An Amazon reviewer mentioned that the jogwheel feels very similar to the 350’s older brother the CDJ-400, and it may be a bit small for some people who prefer larger jogwheels, especially for those who like using big jogs.
Lastly, the price is a bit steep for the features that the CDJ-350 has especially since you can get a lot more in the same price range.
Conclusion
Targeted toward beginner to intermediate DJs, the Pioneer CDJ-350 has some extra bells and whistles and name pedigree but has a couple of missteps and questionable features that it is hard to recommend it especially in its price range.

Pioneer Cdj 350 Traktor Pro 2 Mapping
Hey there
Your help would be very welcome please.
Recently acquired Pioneer CDJ 350’s + Behringer DJX900 USB using Traktor Pro software
– Firmware update on CDJ’s
– TSI file mapped
– Pioneer Asio Driver installedProblem: Unable to set up Audio in Traktor Pro for beat matching in headphones 1st i.e., both tracks are playing out on external speaker. Also both tracks are playing via one channel.
I’m using the CDJ’s soundcard. Just streaming the audio into the mixer.
There’s no mapping available for the DJX900.Please could somebodies shed some light on what the problem could be?
Thank you
#OveritUhm, Pioneer and Behringer gear with NI software?
But on a serious note. Didn’t realise Traktor supports stuff like the DJX900. It needs to be Traktor certified to be able to play sound through it.
But here’s the deal on the 900. While it has a USB port, it’s not MIDI (someone shoot me if I am wrong, please), so nothing to map! Nor can it function as a dual stereo USB output (like a DJ Soundcard). All it does is give you ONE channel of USB audio output going into one single channel of your mixer. Handy to play your iTunes playlist straight to the mixer. But it will not work as your primary audio interface for Traktor, I am really not even sure if you can actually use it with Traktor at all (as far as getting 1 channel of sound from Traktor into it, not that that would make much sense).
I remember from years back I played one night with CDJ350s and Traktor. I believe I set the audio output to each player like you have and just used an analogue mixer like you would when playing from USB/CD. Effectively just using Traktor for track management and waveforms. You WILL need to get some kind of aggregate audio going. That is theoretically possible in Asio4All and I seem to remember a tool from Pioneer to do that, although I am not 100% sure that was also for Windows. I know it exist for Mac.
Without it, Traktor will only “see” one audio device and use that.
Frankly, I say why bother with Traktor. You can’t use any of it’s functions as there isn’t many useful buttons on the CDJs (no sync and such, nor cue points) and no midi functions on the mixer.
It’s a pity you come to us AFTER buying stuff. We would have gladly talked you out of getting this setup and into getting an all-in-one controller that would have given you way more functionality, better integration with DJ Software and ultimately more fun probably.
My advice would with this setup would be to not bother with Traktor and aggregate audio on windows PC (it’s not that funny really), but switch to RekordBox. Prepare your stuff in RB and then make two USB sticks and use those to play on your CDJs.
While the CDJs are midi-compatible, they aren’t really well suited for DJ software imho, so expecting things from them they are not made for is not realistic.
Nope, should work if you have the right mappings loaded.
