Just love those Old School stories! Technics 1200 is amazing; I have (1) that is 20 years old and (1) that is approximately 28 years old. Man, they are built like a tank and still going today. Great video!
I agree with what one of them said: "Using a laptop is putting something between you and the audience and that breaks this 'thing'". And I agree, since it's a similar story when using vinyls. They have this mechanical wonder about them that makes me keep my 20 year old record player and even older records and not throw them away. The feel of pulling back a physical representation of a song and releasing it on beat just gives me a thrill that no other computer or CDJ gives.
I just sold my stuffs like my 4 CDJ1000s, Numark NS7 and others and kept my old vinyl turntables 4 of them. My laptop and sound card broke down good thing I still have my 3 decades old vinyl collection.
@Anthony Kirkwood The very first scratch tool I bought is by Paul Oakenfold (Bust A Groove 12"). I mean, I doubt he can scratch much but he put out a record specifically for battles.
@Anthony Kirkwood Yeah I can't really remember the breaks, but the scratch samples had a good three seconds of silence between each one. Pretty useless.
Wow, hard to believe it's almost 20 yrs since the first CDJ was introduced. Still have my pass from the launch event at Centro-Fly NYC, where Roger spun at that very evening. Crazy...
"You lose something not looking at the crowd" , Pioneer releases the CDJs TOUR versions with massive screens :D :D Don't ignore Denon, I think they are on the rise again as well :).
Pioneer DJ Your Products are Mediocre and yet you OverCharge. Why is a DDJ wego2 at 490sgd but a ddj sb is only 330? Does it make any sense to charge 3500 for a single cdj player?
I remember Roger Sanchez using CDJs, alongside vinyl, sooooooo far back.. and the Pioneer guys from Japan were with him too. The S-Man has been influencing this technology from day one in real life not just hype.
You could potentially get a rig for cheaper than two CD players and a mixer. there are plenty of technics 2000 clones out there, and now you don't even need to buy vinyl anymore, theres a one size fits all.
"I've never used a laptop on stage... "because if I think if you put something between you and the crowd, you lose something special" *whilst you stare down at your CDJ's screen.* Two screens actually.
@Daniel Spaniel In engineering, the less unknowns one has the better the situation is. And there are still plenty of variables in digital audio regardless, the quality of the digital-to-analogue conversion, the components of the amplifier, the digital signal processing (if there is any), and the software used to play back the music all have many variables in them, each of which can be tuned to your liking. And if you want something more unpredictable, use a tube amplifier as part of the signal chain.
There's something about vinyl that you just can't replace with cd's. Probably nostalgia talking but you can't beat mixing vinyl or for that matter watching a dj mixing with vinyl. It's just so much more visual and imo fun to watch. Although I do own cdj's aswell (not Pioneer though) I find the whole process of buying and listening to downloads boring where if I'm in a record shop somewhere or a market, charity shop or carbootsale there's nothing more enjoyable than flicking through crates of records. Guess I'm just of that generation :-)
Norman Sengenberger ahhhh, that CDJ 500 never really worked ..-with that felt disc inside ...nope...but some time later Josh Wink played in my club on two CDJ 1000 and played loops on loops all night ... I was so fazinated I asked Josh how he did that and he explained to me for more than an hour after he has finished his set ...what an experience ..so I told the owner of the club that I will take them home 🙂 and after some time I was able to put on a loop perfectly.,,,still in 2001 I switched to Traktor scratch...to me still the ultimate system ..the best out of a record player combined with modern technology ...and record box simply f....d up on me too often
...and hopefully soon the rest of the world will follow suit! The SC5000 is a phenomenal player, it is better than the NXS2 in literally every way, for almost half the price. I really hope they take over as industry standard soon, Pioneer are holding the industry back.
@@Travis-guy-247 not really... 99% of all clubs have CDJs and this will not chance so fast. Maybe is better for you but not for club owners and DJs. They need no 10 more new "nice" technical gimmicks that 99% of the DJs not use. It's also not important if the fader light is green, red or blue and if they have 10 or 12 LEDs. Most important is a good solide long quality, clear sound, easy to fix and use and most important that every DJ can work with it. Price is not so important 1450$ Denon to 2100$ Pioneer. Try to rent a Denon player, you will find no rental company with Denon gear. They have all just Pioneer because nobody want Denon players. Laidback Luke and other "Denon DJs" makes just advertising for big money for Denon. Also when this DJs play there gigs they have a guy from Denon who brings all the Denon gear because you can't rent it. Don't think that Denon ever has a chance to break in to the Pioneer Land. ;-)
Ive got the sc5000s, blows the Nexus 2000s out of the water! The moment i used em i got rid of pioneer players completely. Way more advanced, faster, and built to a higher standard for half the price.
I am practice still on my DDJ-200, I have used CDJS 3000, love it,, but nothing beats the power of dj decks, viynl records and old fashion DJ with decks.
Vinyl to CD, CD to mp3 digital format, plus USB stick...... what will be next? Who knows? There will be touchscreen turntable or holograms, or everything you can imagine!
I remember djing in lush dance bar in magaluf with vinyl then I was invited back the year after to play 4 sets in 7 days, I turned up with my vinyl and then quickly realised they was using cdjs…..luckily they still had their 1210s in the basement and i quickly got them set up whilst the other dj was playing 🤦🏻♂️ 😂
+Judas Iscariot its debateable that the 850 was one of the more revolutionary one because of its usb capabilities and midi control though. Since the video is titled the evolution of the cdj, one of the models with biggest change should be included
"You lose something not looking at the crowd" Me, an intellectual: PUTS THE FUCKING LAPTOP TO THE SIDE OF MY RIG LIKE WTF HOW IS THAT A REASON OAKENFOLD
I say pioneer should released a DDJ SR 2 Like maybe similar layout... but with retractable buttons like the SX, and light up jogs with cue countdown like the Sx 2... Maybe even different colors when you switch decks. like 1 & 3 and 2 & 4. So you don't forget which deck you are on, and confuse yourself
Are you going to release part 2? What about new CDJ's? If I purchase within the next 4 months, will I regret my decision knowing you MIGHT be releasing new flagship models?......

“I will never use a laptop. It puts something between you and the crowd”
Me: puts the laptop to the side
Yeah or place the laptop at a 45 degree angle to the northwest or northeast of the dj equipment.

yea was thinking the same....
He will never use a laptop... Because He prefers desktop computers ;P

I've still got the CDJ-500! still works perfectly!
Proud to say I have seen all of them play live.
Same. Ledgends
Great video...the product has come so far!
Still cant beat the feel of a 1210 and the smell of a record sleeve !!
Jazzy: "They're paying attention to the DJs"
Pioneer: Loses technological advantage and doesn't make a new player for 8 years
I remembered back in '94. Pioneer let me promote this. I knew right off the bat there's was huge potentials.
Súper Maestros los Dj desde la época del vinilo hasta la actual, les felicito y mis respetos. Saludos,
i'll never give up my 1200s! i do have 1 cdj800 mk2 though.. i use it sometimes, i think its important to know how to mix on all equipment.
The Evolution of the CDJ with Roger Sanchez, Jazzy Jeff, Carl Cox, James Zabiela, ***** and Laidback Luke.
***** hardware without software is like a brain without knowledge.
Pioneer DJ Your Products are Mediocre and yet you OverCharge. Why is a DDJ wego2 at 490sgd but a ddj sb is only 330? Does it make any sense to charge 3500 for a single cdj player?
They charge those prices because they can. People will always want whats used in the clubs.
The price for the cdj is ok. But as a starter dj a ddj wego 2 is more expensive than a ddj sb
***** build something better then
I remember Roger Sanchez using CDJs, alongside vinyl, sooooooo far back.. and the Pioneer guys from Japan were with him too. The S-Man has been influencing this technology from day one in real life not just hype.
Big Thank u From D J David To Pioneer DJ History
Great vid, works like this for me too!
great plug for pioneer.
Thanks Pioneer
Now everyone’s tryna get back on turntables
Nah. These are just the loud 5 %.
I don't lol
You could potentially get a rig for cheaper than two CD players and a mixer. there are plenty of technics 2000 clones out there, and now you don't even need to buy vinyl anymore, theres a one size fits all.
They did make it easier to use CD's. Their mixer was amazing!
Wish they would have shown more of the early decks in use.
"I've never used a laptop on stage... "because if I think if you put something between you and the crowd, you lose something special"
*whilst you stare down at your CDJ's screen.* Two screens actually.
4 screens
Well, with vinyl you would constantly monitor the grooves as well, so not much of a difference in the end.
great video!
nicely explained at last
I remember using the front loaded silver CDJs. I now use Denon SC5000. Works better for me and my needs. But my go to is DVS
nice! I picked up a pair of cdj-800mk2's. Take me back to the early 2000's. Looking for a matching Djm-300 now.
Pioneer: Nothing can rival our CDJ's
Denon: We beg to differ
CDJ 100 with USB please. Some of us old schoolers just want it simple.
Actually i saw guy who made custom ones that have usb and can be used as controler.
But stll the real sound of a vinyl on a Technics turntable is priceless
I don't understand this, vinyl sounds worse from a scientific standpoint, the dynamic range and resolution are both lower than with lossless digital.
@Daniel Spaniel In engineering, the less unknowns one has the better the situation is. And there are still plenty of variables in digital audio regardless, the quality of the digital-to-analogue conversion, the components of the amplifier, the digital signal processing (if there is any), and the software used to play back the music all have many variables in them, each of which can be tuned to your liking. And if you want something more unpredictable, use a tube amplifier as part of the signal chain.
True, true, but still, I can't afford one single of your turntables. AND DON'T YOU DARE MENTION THE CDJ 350!
And where are another players like CDJ-700, CDJ-800 and CDJ-400?
How about a cdj350?
madagreement cdj 200? $125 and its pretty decent its got, bpm counter, mp3 compatibility and there just a couple of the great functions of it.
Cdj 350😈
so true
Still got my CDJ500s and CDJ1000 mk1's
Eu ganhei a CDJ 50 do meu coroa já si passaram 30 anos e toca que é uma maravilha
yeah Carl rocking a Desolat shirt 👍

les platines et vinyl resterons a jamais le support numéro 1 de tous les dj's !
20years time oh the usb is so heavy
Pioneer es lo mejor q hay ;)
Funkagenda- Man with a Red face- Perfect 2000s tune
I love vinyl !
for the cdjs i think pioneer is the best choice, but for dj mixers... no one can beat a
allen & heath xone series
I love my djm250mk2
obviously never used, or even heard of a rotary mixer then? Bozak, Rane, Matamp Supernova etc...
...and nowadays Pioneer is out and Laidback Luke is using Denon Gear.... :D

@@ukdashcamz3580 You forget the horrible Engine PRIME software. I sold my Prime 4 because of that trash.
very cool
Do part 2!
best players ever! forever!
Fully agree 💯
make part 2 already!
In the beginning DJs turned their noses up at CDJs, now those same DJs are pretentious about them. SMH.
I'm 55 years old and just converted back to vinyl.
Look at my 👃
They used to be Pioneers. iPhone has had scroll touch for 15 years and you still have to use the wheel to select tracks on Pioneer stuff.
I am practice still on my DDJ-200, I have used CDJS 3000, love it,, but nothing beats the power of dj decks, viynl records and old fashion DJ with decks.
Just practice djing with my DDJ-200, and ipad air.
Legends (djs) with the legend (cdj)
mastersss...
Vinyl to CD, CD to mp3 digital format, plus USB stick...... what will be next?
Who knows? There will be touchscreen turntable or holograms, or everything you can imagine!
DJ from spotify.... no need for media device at all. everything running from the cloud. this is the future.
The Denon Sc5000 has a touchscreen ^^
I.love +Pioneer Dj a lot of watts
AH, the second tune is, Mighty Dub Katz - Just Another Groove
And the video starts with a classic French house classic "U Can't hide from your Bud" from dj Sneak.
when's part 2 coming out?
I'll get a set 1 Day!!! Hopefully?! Until then its Technics! Serato And Timecoded vinyl!!
I remember djing in lush dance bar in magaluf with vinyl then I was invited back the year after to play 4 sets in 7 days, I turned up with my vinyl and then quickly realised they was using cdjs…..luckily they still had their 1210s in the basement and i quickly got them set up whilst the other dj was playing 🤦🏻♂️ 😂
I was like "what are those... UFOs!?".....................
In 20 years pioneer robots will be djs
Part 2?..... Plz?:)
What's the tune playing near end
Goes I can't stop??????
using cdj 350 and still loving my cd's!!!! anybody still using cd??
Amazing. Nice work!
Please do pioneer vinyl player
where is the cdj 800, cdj 850, cdj 900, and the other cdj's in the lower hundred series????!!
+Dobson Ironmonger This is just a list of industry standard cdjs... 500, (1000, 1000MK2, 1000MK3), 2000, 2000Nexus, and now 2000Nexus2.
+Judas Iscariot its debateable that the 850 was one of the more revolutionary one because of its usb capabilities and midi control though. Since the video is titled the evolution of the cdj, one of the models with biggest change should be included
haha "pump my usb ready to go here we go again" :D
De Lujo!
Maybe some playlist ? ;)
Whats the name of the song in the background or which loop?
U Can't Hide from Your Dub - DJ Sneak
what are the ID's of the. songs used in the video?
What is the song name in the intro?
1:48 wow
Denon gear was always pretty good . And still is
Oakenfold is so right about the laptop imo !
I'm still looking to get my hands on a CDJ 500 (first edition) They seem to be super rare.

zextremezex Thanks for trying, but thats actually the second edition (which i do own). the first ones had less on them, and are super rare.
stedj68 send me pics to my email. But I have a feeling it's a Pioneer CDJ 500 I I
Nahovey@hotmail.com
What's even more rare is the CDJ-300 that came before. No one ever talks about that one, and there are very very few photos of the unit.
really? lol, i have seen them so many times in greece!
What's the name of the track at 1:35 ? It's sounds familiar with Magic!-Rude(Zedd Remix). I need to know the original one.
mighty dub katz.. just another groove.. released in the 90s
YEEAAA JAZZY

this this this this this this 😃😃
there were quite a few cdj's you missed before you got it right. If we are going to discuss roots be honest!
Dont forget Technics SL-P1200. It came out before any of the Pioneer cdj!
