Shortly after Krewella finished their performance at Ultra Music Festival, the internet went crazy as many people began to notice there were no cords plugged in to the back of their CDJs. Deadmau5 who tends to be one of the most vocal artists, sent out a tweet to Krewella accusing them of faking their DJ set. The girls quickly wrote back stating that they did not fake their set, but there were actually “USBs plugged in2 the CDJs/mixer.” You may be thinking, “how does that work out?” YouTube user Christian Jackson explains.
“To the untrained eye it could look like none of the audio cables are plugged in and there’s no way for the signal flow to be going from their computer to the speakers. All you need to make this set-up work is a computer running Traktor, a USB cable for each of the CDJs and a USB cable for the mixer. Basically how it works is the CDJs are acting pretty much as expensive controllers for the expensive Traktor Scratch software.”
