DJ Kit Not Working TRY Installing the Driver Video Help

0:00 I get this question asked me all the time

All right guys, I get this question asked me all the time. I've just bought a new piece of kit, I've plugged it in but it isn't working. My computer's fine, the kit's fine but it's not working, nothing's happening or all the features aren't working. Now it could be because you have not installed the driver. So let's have a bit of an analogy here. Let's imagine you're in a town, you want to go home and you take the bus. You jump on the bus, the engine's running but it's not going anywhere. The bus is stationary and you're sat there twiddling your thumbs thinking, come on I need to get home, I'm thirsty, I want a cup of tea. You look and you realise that the driver is not on the bus making the bus move. The bus is your

1:26 Run you through page by page what you need to do

Piece of kit, you are there ready to just, you know, get to where you need to go but it's not running. It's because the driver isn't there. Now the driver is the person who makes everything work, who, you know, the driver is there to talk to you and not really the bus but to get you to where you want to go. So in a way that laptop, the PC that you're using or your Mac and the piece of kit need something for them both to work. So in this video I'll just run you through how to get to the driver. I've got the Pioneer RX here, I'm going to take the camera off the stand now run you through page by page what you need to do. Now let's imagine that we need to find the driver for the RX. So this is the first page you would see and then I'm going to click on support. Once

I've clicked on support I would get to this page here. Now we've got lots of information, find software information, find tutorials, find authorized service, find software and firmware updates. Now I would click on that and I would get to this page here. Now this one here is all of the related products. So what I'm going to do, controllers RX. Once I've clicked on that I will get to this page and then once I've clicked here I can see drivers. All I need to do then is download the driver and make sure you open that file up. It could come in a zip file or it could come in a .xml file but I'm just going to say zip file. Now this again is important if it comes in a zipped file you need to make sure that

You extract the information in that zip file. It's a little bit like going outside with a big coat on zipping yourself up, walking inside thinking why am I getting really hot? Why? It's because you haven't unzipped your coat and taken it off therefore you will get a lot cooler but if you don't then you're just going to get hotter and hotter. Your files are not going to be getting hotter and hotter. All that will happen is it will sit there in the zipped folder until you unzip it. Alright now I hope that's been a help. I'll put a link to the Pioneer website so that's of course if you've got Pioneer kit. You may have Numark, you may have Vestax, you may have Denon but it's highly likely that if your kit that you've got isn't working correctly you will need

To download the Pioneer kit. If you don't have the Pioneer kit then you're going to need to download the driver, the appropriate driver for the kit you've got and then once that's installed the next thing to do of course is to turn your computer off, turn it back on again, reboot everything. Follow the procedure that you're supposed to do with the kit you've got and all being well it should work swimmingly. I hope that's been a help. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much
