Pending Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 So I received my Pioneer DDJ-SB yesterday and I was trying to set up to record and I found this tutorial on how to record through audacity since Serato DJ Intro doesn't let you record but I just can't get it to record. When I press record in audacity it says something along the lines of 'Device can't be opened please check device settings and try again'. Does the brains trust have any idea?

ThatPartyGuy Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 using mac or pc? also i think your controller has a inbuilt soundcard which you might have to select or change the output device in serato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's likely going to be What tpg said. Check your input device in audacity and see if you can select the controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pending Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'm on PC and I did have my controller selected. I'l have a play around in serato see what I can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 "Device can't be opened" means something else is using the soundcard. In this case, it's serato. You can't select your controller in audacity as serato is using it, so you need to run RCA cable out of your controller into the 3.5mm line in on your computer, and select the built in line input to record with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatLeSS Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Aye, we don't condone piracy 'round these parts ya hear.To solve your issue you just need to follow the steps outlined in previous posts, Pending.The reason why it's not working the way you want it, is because that device/channel is being used to output the sound, so can't be used to capture it as well. So you'll need to go from record out/master out2 on the SB to the line in on your computer, essentially creating a loop (Computer output > DDJ-SB input > DDJ-SB output > Computer input ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
