3a. Open Rekordbox, go to the Audio Settings and select “DJM900-NXS2” in the “Audio Interface Selector”. Then, open the setting utility and set the inputs you are using to “Control Tone Line”. You should also double check the same settings apply to the input channels you are using in the Rekordbox “Input Channels” setting.

3b. Go to the DVS tab in the Rekordbox settings, and make sure the DVS function is activated. Select “CDJs” instead of “Turntables” in the control hardware tab of the DVS settings.

3c. Make sure to select the audio routing according to the mixer decks you are using (1&2, or 2&3), and that the virtual decks are set on “Relative” mode.

4. Take the Remotes out of the Receiver, put them on your turntables and wait for the calibration to complete (allow the LEDs to turn solid). 

5. You are now ready to use Phase with your DJM-900NXS2 mixer and Rekordbox!
