Thank you TLM!! I started DJing in 1980 at 13 with three Super Disco Breaks.. I moved away from NY 15 years ago and left my set on storage... life happened and I lost a lifetime of vinyl and my set. I recently bought this and have been using them like ones and twos. . I watch videos like how are they doing that.. I'm mad analog.. Your review had answered all the questions that have been in my head for a few months now. Mad props TLM. Thank you
Best 1000 review on youtube!! Most reviews before this seemed like they just read the box and show the obvious. Really like how you use your experience to explain your pro's and cons. Great production keep it up fam!
-Side note: Laidback Luke collab video coming soon? Would be amazing to see. Best two TH-cam DJ productions IMO
Thanks man! About the collab: I have no idea, but it will happen
Honestly saying, this is the best info about DDJ-1000... I have got one and I am really happy with the explanation!
I bought the DDJ-SX back in 2012 and have been in love ever since. I love what they’re doing with this model now. I’m definitely upgrading.
I just upgraded from a DDJ-SX and I can highly recommend doing the same!
Tokayo! We both Jorge Torres n DJs!?! Krazy!!!
Just bought this today and will be gigging with it tomorrow. It’s the best controller I’ve ever used. Has all of the benefits of a CDJ/DJM setup, plus lots of extras, for an amazing price. This is the controller that made me dump Serato.
Shawn B agreed.. my only problem is getting my crates/playlist color labeled and set up similar to serato.
Dj iET I spend an easy week loading my songs up from serano best move I did
Have been waiting on your review about DDJ 1000. I sold my DDJ Rx and upgrade to DDJ 1000 and I never regret. Best controller so far 🔥🔥🔥
I too sold my XDJ-RX2 today and I'm going to buy the DDJ-1000.
Is it better than the XDJ-RX1 ?
I own 1 and loving every bit of it and please use DDJ 1000 oftentimes on your videos..
I’ve learnt more watching this as far as set up and “details” in 22 min than all the official pioneer stuff I’ve been able to find, watch read and learn for myself... thank you so much...pioneer should hire you!!!$$$$$$
Thanks, I’m glad it helped you out👍🏾
I agree 100%
Great review! I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Been DJing since the late 80s, started on 1210s mixing vinyl then onto Serato control vinyl with an SL box so I missed the CDJ generation. When I Finally took the plunge into the future, I bought a Numark NSX for my first controller, then went on to the Pioneer DDJSX. Decided it was time for a change so went for this as I wanted to get the CDJ feel that I had missed out on without shelling out thousands of pounds (I'm from the UK!) So impressed with the overall feel, and the switch from Serato to Rekordbox wasn't as painful as I thought it would be!
I agree, the feel is really good. And Serato and Rekordbox aren’t that different. I work with both and it’s easy to switch between the two
Thanks for the reply! Yeah, Rekordbox is definitely on a par with Serato these days :)
Exact same story as me but I invested in Traktor and I love playing control vinyl. I recently bought Serato DJ Pro and an entry level DDJ-SB3 which is fine for basic stuff but ultimately I really want something like this, although if I had the money I'd buy the NS7III...
@@JT74 nice action . Me too am from England ✊ so I've come from vynal to dvs traktor but didn't wanna blow alias of dough on cdjs and this looks the shnizzle . Am still on the fence between a xdjr2 (stand alone controller) or this and I like both but really feel the normal size platters sell it to me 😎😎
I'm having a hard time deciding between this and the ddj sz2.. eg . 8 pad effects vs 16 pad effect pressure jogs vs touch.. bigger vs smaller.
This is the single best high end controller. Great price point and so similar to CDJs it’s perfect for practicing for club shows. Can’t wait to get one!
Well, the sound quality could do with an improvement. But, for the most part, I agree! It's certainly the best bang for your buck in the controller market. Add a higher quality DAC and it would be perfect. But that's gonna' come w' the "nexus" version ;-)
the sound is good ,sounds better than my cdj set up
Well, I guarantee it doesn't sound better than my CDJ setup. It is a dope controller for home use, however.
XBASS KINGTING
It depends on the CDJ model perhaps.
Never ever could a DDJ-1000 sound better then some CDJ-2000nxs2 through a decent mixer.
You probably won't notice the huge sound quality difference at home but on a club PA it's massive.
Look at the specs, man, CdJ - 2000nxs2 196 khz vs DDJ-1000 48khz
Also, don't start with "BEST controller out there"
It isn't.
It always depends on the situation and specific requirements.
Same applies for mixers or cars. There is no "best car".
A numark NS7 iii is for example a better choice compared to a DDJ-1000 if you are into scratching and want to go the controller route.
@@Icevampir What crap are you talking about? The sound quality you talk about isnt noticeable in a club. You may be a proud Tiger but you sound like a nerdy pussycat.
Got mine today love it now I got Rekordbox and Serato I can use either because I learn both
Which one do u prefer? Rekordbox or Serato? I personally already have rekordbox with my 400 but definitely upgrading to the 1000 or the ns7iii which is Serato
I learned at least 5 new features from watching this review. Thanks for being thorough!
That’s dope! Glad I could help out 👍🏽👍🏽
pound for pound the best controller on the market
I want one so bad, and it seems like everyone else does too! Apparently pioneer are out of stock in my area, they didn’t anticipate its popularity! Can’t wait to bring one home.
I bought Pioneer Ddj 1000 six months ago and there is not a big diference with CDJ 2000 at all.Its just CDJ 2000 have a little more features and you don’t need laptop with you.What can I say I’m really happy.They are 80 % the same.You don’t need to give 6000 £ just to have Pioneer DJM - 900 Mixer And two CDJ 2000 Players.You will have the same just for 1000 £ (3 in 1).That’s awesome
Man im telling u the stand alone mixer/controller its really really good for real great review TLM.
Love my DDJ 1000, had it since January. Only complaints I have is the Beat FX are NOT standalone when plugged into RB. They occasionally have a very minor digital dropout sound, but if you are using them with say vinyl and no RB connected, they run onboard. Strange, but whatever. Also second complaint is crossfader control can only be accessed in the software, no controls on the controller itself like the SX2. But other than that, this thing is a beast. Just thinking this is a first of its kind, so they can only improve for the 1000 MK2 or whatever they call it or add some things into firmware updates for the current gen.
The best review of DDJ 1000 on TH-cam #01 Facts
Thanks
Thanks djtlm been waiting for this review. In a vinyl user moving to digital
As always great review, you confirmed my thoughts and feelings of the DDJ 1000 that I recently purchased a month ago
Haven’t watched any of your reviews in awhile but you upped the production fam.... keep it up
This is hands down the best DDJ 1000 review that I've seen.
Dude, excellent review. Alot of reviews I see are either too short and leave out stuff I wanna hear or too long and get into things that may seem irrelevant if I wanna purchase the item. This was informative and too the point. Really good job
Thanks!
This guy is the realest. He knows we already know but we just want to hear his opinion. Our boy dj tlm!
Thank you, your review answered all of my questions, especially about track selection. I love that you can just choose the next track on the side or you can scroll through independently on each deck. Builds club level cdj muscle memory. Also, I am using it as a club level practice controller, I might use the hot cues but will keep them within the cdj2000nxs2 parameters and will only use the effects on the mixer. This controller is perfect for that! Thanks again, I just ordered it and can't wait to get it!
I replaced my CDjs wiv the ddj1000 ,and really think this model will be the future of them all add a usb and fader Curve on the mixer and not in sorfware and it’s a rap
You replaced your CDJs for this?!? Granted the feature set of this controller is unparalleled, but CDJs have a MUCH HIGHER "DAC quality". That is, unless you had XDJ-1000's. If so, then the DDJ-1000 would be comparable.
the ddj1000 gives you more than cdj , and not going play cds so im cool with it , and recordbox ,straight import usb and im ready for any cdj ,no problem
you can do alot on the pad section ,only thing which can match is the new denoms ,4 deck mixs too, ,the thing is fliping dark
mate is there any way to hide the bpm/pitch display ? im used to mixing on vinyl ...seeing the excat pitch on both decks just feels like cheating and takes ]the fun out of it for me
@@jamesmurray6363 Me too I dont like seeing BPM on decks
Best review ever, man. TLM, you're my all-time fave DJ on TH-cam. The DDJ-1000 is so worth it, and then some. Perfect controller.
This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect
I just got mine today DDJ 1000 record box I'm happy.
Totally agree being able to see the track listing in the display would a cool feature
That keyboard feature!! whoa! Cool gear 🔥👍
Djtlm i luv uh bro..u are a great motivator/Tutor/Dj ..u did every single video which Djs hesitate to ask other Djs ...Tysm fam ..u are doing a great job..im old viewer of DJTLM TV ...Love frm INDIA ♥️
I appreciate the comment! 👍🏽👍🏽
djTLMtv Have a good day DJTLM...♥️
Great review, easy to follow yet very comprehensive. I was going to buy a more expensive controller and the techs at my dj store encouraged me to buy the 1000. What has me super excited is the fact that I had the idea of buying this controller and adding a turntable, and next thing I know, DJ TLM adds the turntable and talks about how easy it is to add it with the plug-in. I am very excited, thanks for the video.
Dope review!!! You show the really important stuff!!!! I like how the effects are on the mixer as well as the software! This gives you a choice and reduces strain on your pc or Mac!!! Great video!!!
Thanks!
I own this controller. And I am happy with it!
Awesome Review! I am sold - was gonna get upgrade my NI S4 to an S8 - and your review has sold me on the DDJ 1000 - thanks so much :)
Great Review Fam!
Thanks
Nice review bro! U jus got a new subscriber. U got a lot of good knowledge to help experience/non experienced dj’s to make a good decision when spending over $1000 dollars 💵
Thanks!
Fantastic review! I’ve had one of these controllers since the launch week yet I’ve learnt a few new features from watching your review. Keep doing what you’re doing Bro
Thanks for showing the turntable+controller
Finally!!!! Who wants to buy my sx2? Thx for review
i have one and yes this controller is the best i've had so far :)
Best DDJ-1000 review out there... BUT, I wanna know: WHERE CAN WE COP THAT "Neva Dat" piece?!?! :)
It was nice to see him on the Rekordbox software...
I’ve had it for quite a while and it’s getting better and better
I have Serato also... Personally, I believe it's good to have knowledge of as many dj software you can....
djseasickbaby once upon a time, I bought into the Traktor universe because a Mac update killed the cheesy DJ program I was using at the time and I had a wedding to play in 15 hours... many bullets were sweat, found Traktor Duo (long time ago) and DJTT had a mapping for my controller, gig happened.
Traktor was like going from a bike with training wheels to a ninja bullet motorcycle and it was hard to learn. TH-cam was not the place it is today with all the great channels like djTLMtv.
Spin forward a few years and I started following the now defunct Dubspot. They offered a course called Digital DJing with Traktor. I took it with idea that I would finally learn Traktor.
What I really learned is that ALL of these programs do about the same thing - they permit you to DJ - and it really isn’t about the software at all. It’s about the music, the audience and the experience the DJ creates.
The software is a means to an end, nothing more.
However I did recently switch to Rekordbox because it can beatgrid music played by human drummers whereas Traktor cannot. I play non-electronic music mostly and Traktor was forcing me to go to extremes to do things like set and use a loop that won’t drift in and out of time.
Always love your words of wisdom! thanks!
Nice review, the point about the VU meters is a good one; it's easier in VDJ to match your levels because when you adjust the gain level the amplitude of the waveform adjusts accordingly, so you can match levels visually. Perhaps this will be implemented in Rekordbox.
Cool, I didn’t know that about VDJ
You Killed It son. Love that review. Love this controller. Learned some new shit!!
I would love to see a long press on the shift button to activate the secondary features over hold shift and selecting your secondary features at the same time while hold the shift button.
"It'd be really cool if you could see your tracklist in the display" they have that... Its called the XDJ series
I said the same thing about being able to see my track list in the displays
Great video! Been looking at this controller for a while now and this video helped me make my final decision on switching from Serato to rekordbox. I've been using it with ddj Sr, and I'm in need of a more versatile controller. This 1000 seems fantastic just scary switching software. Rekordbox has really stepped up there game. Thank you for this great review.
This is the best DDJ1000 review. Thank you so much
Awesome controller however they need to make the center view twice as large. And where one can toggle views. The view from the old CMX 3000 was awesome.
Yeah, that was a dope display indeed
Awesome review and this is definitely one controller I cannot wait to get my hands on!
Great Review! Though I find the comparison of sound output quality missing in this video... Have you noticed the difference in how this controller sounds to other controllers? In my view, DDJ-1000 sounds very metallic , bass heavy, and the sound you get is not very clean.. It doesn't have the warm sound as you get with some other Pioneer controllers... This is the only criticism I have and other than that, it is an awesome piece of equipment...
Great point! I need to start recording the same song with every different device to do a proper comparison 👍🏽
Was waiting for it. Its little late but still u have the best review
Thanks
Great review. Why not just use smaller LEDs for the volume meters to be more precise.
That could be an option yeah
Just bought one of these. Its Bad ass.
Im really dig this controller can’t wait to get my hands on it 👍🏾
You showed me more then any other dj reviewer so you get a like and a sub for this video
Excellent video and I have learnt a lot
I liked the hip - hop and rapping liked the Basic Thugonomic as John Cena ® ' The Time is Now's chain Gang Soldiers .
I think this is maybe the ultimate controller for Rekordbox. Pioneer is now releasing a Serato variant which is almost identical but the screens show less features. For Serato controller I like the new Roland DJ707M. Traktor the S5 looks the part, although is discontinued, doh!!! Standalone hardware I like the Reloop Elite Mixer and RP8000Mk2 turntable, Denon X1800 Mixer and SC5000, Rane Seventy Two Mixer and Twelve, Pioneer XDJ700 and DJS1000 Sampler and Phase Essential wireless DVS
Hey thank you for a very informative review...Extremely clear and precise...Great stuff!!!
Hate to say it but I'm definitely looking into getting into controllers again and this was at the top of my list. Great review TLM
Just bought it and your review helped a lot! Thanks!
how do you like it?
I was a DDJ-1000 fanboy until you showed us in this video, that the Fx Knobs and Buttons are missing.
Didn't realised that.
Yup, in my case I truly don’t mind. I prefer having the fx on the performance pads 👍🏽
Yeah that's an option too, but you can't set the Echo Out to 50% (Serato Example)
But you can sure work with that as well
You could do that on the onboard echo on the beat fx section
Great review. I hope to see this exact jog wheel on the next DDJ-SZ line up. By the way DJ TLM, this beat is hot!!
Thanks!
And yes, and SZ type controller with these jogwheels and this fader would be a beast
i made the switch from Serato to Rekordbox dj and so far not sure what to think. it was about over a week where Rekordbox dj wouldn't load at all and it wasn't until an entire new update came out and fixed it. it is still very new so i will give it that, haven't had any other issues. i do like the controller. that would've messed me completely up if i had a gig though.
I'm looking on this controller for a week and i'm more and more into buying it. I'm on Serato, but i don't see any BIG difference between serato and recordbox
Without a doubt, the most enthusiastic review I've ever seen! That controller is BANGIN'! Question: Does the DDJ-1000 come with Rekordbox built in (I know the Serato based controllers have the license built in, but I never messed with anything Rekordbox)? Having said that, I also have to admit, because of the black jogwheels, Rekordbox controllers look nicer than Serato controllers..at least in MY opinion.
Tha Rukkus ! The DDJ-1000 requires a computer and a Rekordbox license (included with the controller). If you want Rekordbox “built in” you want the XDJ-RX which has an on-board computer and full CDJ style display.
I know this because I was considering the DDJ-1000 recently in my move to Rekordbox. I bought the DDJ-RX because of price. Got a reconditioned RX for $800 versus $1200 for the DDJ-1000. I just didn’t feel like the features of the 1000 were enough to justify another $400...
I'm thinking of purchasing the Pioneer SX2 or 3. But I saw and tried out the sample of the Pioneer DDJ-1000, and the jog wheels was great. And the controller too. But onw thing is that I'm not an fan of the Rekordbox. But the SX3 is $1,000 and the DDJ-1000 is $100 extra. Like I'm stuck in the middle.
Really like your channel geeza. Really great inspirational speaker
Thanks, I appreciate that
Great reveiw as usual bro love that controller my gripes is that the displays could have been bigger and that u cant put artwork in them and the crossfader adjust is in the software and not on the hardware itself but still a great controller.
Can you imagine that an Apple phone costs the same as this beauty..?
@DJ VarmintBABY but you can have an awesome time on a ddj-1000 ;)))
good dj know how to communicate with music (controller)
That's what I was thinking when I was deciding between the 1000 and the 400
The average person I know with an iPhone uses it to make $0
. . . . . . . . uh yeah. I went ahead and bought the ddj 1000 as my entry into DJing. My upgrade will probably be an XDJ down road.
ray will Lol and how much money does the average Android user make with their phone? Which costs more than the controller and iPhone..(S20 Ultra) 🤣 Stop hating
iPhones are made by slaves in a Communist Chinese Apple factory, I want nothing to do with them
I'm having a hard time deciding between DDJ-1000 or DDJ-SX3. Can't decide what to buy.
Excellent real life review as usual boss! Now, as u have told us, you're an original vinyl/moving platter dude. As am I.
Question. How do u rate it (Pio 1000) compared to the Numark NS7ii/iii (yeah I know, they're old lol).... Thx
I’ll always prefer a motorized platter so the NS7 would be my choice. But if I would have to pick a controller with normal jog wheels, the 1000 is a great option.
Both will get the job done and both pack a lot of features, but an NS7III with the plattere, capacitive touch knobs and screens is a monster💪🏾💪🏾
@@djTLMtv I appreciate u bro. Clear assessment of both units. Keep up the great work!! 👍👍👍
I would love this controller, but it's just not worth the move from Serato to Recordbox! Would have to be one of the DDJ-S? range to make me switch to Pioneer...
What is the feature keeping in Serato that’s keeping you from switching?
djTLMtv It's not about features so much. Pioneer was out of my price range when switching to digital, I couldn't get Traktor to work for me, I didn't particularly like Virtual DJ AND my digital mentor was using Serato so it was a good option for me. It is a shame that Pioneer choose to maintain two ranges of controller - RB ONLY and universal...
That said, it is still the cost of buying two different software packages that stops me opting for the DDJ1000!
djTLMtv I also tried to move on from Serato to Rekordboxdj, I bought Rekordbuddy and copped a controller that came with some Rekordbox licenses.
Did the library migration only to discover that one can't have mixed audio and video crates/playlist in Rekordboxdj.
I do audio and music video djing depending on the bar/club. I can't be maintaining separate crates for audio and video. I just place every thing in the same crate in Serato.
So I stayed on happily with Serato and Mixemergency
I'm guessing Pioneer is targeting the new DJs making sure Rekordboxdj is considered before settling on one software.
Didn't like the fact that it was Rekordbox only but still was open to it until I came face to face with the displays.
Just think they are too cluttered (or busy for the size) for good real world use and still require too much laptop time.
They require you to focus on them too much instead of just being a quick glance.
Feel like they would work better for someone who is simply doing a routine instead of actually DJing to a crowd.
But why would you need to look at them so much? I hardly look at my laptop either so I didn’t have that problem
Not all the effects are onboard effects.. probably only the mobius is, but the others don't sound the same when using rekordbox and virtual dj. On Djay pro they don't work at all
it will be interesting to view the playlist on the jog
I think they could make that work. It would be a cool feature
Excellent review!
Well, I'm just waiting for what Traktor will release this year to decide if I stick with my Kontrol Z2 or go all the way to Rekordbox with the DDJ-1000.
Man great job I'm in love with this controller ✌- Out DJ TIME M-town king.
I would love it if pioneer took the jog section of this with the pads and layout and made it into a 599 standalone unit that can have usb input and plug right into the line. You’ll then have a proper 4 deck setup
You have my idea bro! I prefer to have single decks
please try out the roland dj 808. its fantastic.. and i dont like controllers.
I'm a new DJ (new to digital djing) and I've been testing out the different controllers and love the feel of the ddj SZ series. The dilemma is should I buy the Used ddj sz or used ddj sz2.
Greetings TLM from NYC. Can you do a review of the DJS 1000 SRT. Thanks
Hi DJ TLM. First of all thanks for great reviews. I like your channel. I have to ask you what could you recommend? DDJ-SZ or DDJ-1000? I'am using now DDJ-SX and first I chose DDJ-1000 cause lauout and Jog are really the same like DJM what is really great feature. Last time I saw many reviews DDJ-SZ and many users recommend this controller. What do u mean? Price is almost the same so it's not the problem. Greetings👍
Great review. Can you do a video comparing the sx3 vs the ddj 1000.
Recorded it today 😁 So that’s coming soon
I got this controller and I'm so glad you did your review, been waiting for your thoughts. ✌🏾 So, I use both Serato (with a SX2) AND Traktor (the S5)...but when I heard about this controller, I became very interested. I was looking at another Serato controller (MCX8000 and of course, the DDJ-SX3 was not released). So I did some research and I pulled the trigger back in February. I had read about the new Rekordbox software upgrade. I didn't get the unit until April because it was on back order. But in summary, I ALMOST love everything about it. I love Pioneer gear so its built good. Since I've never used Rekordbox, its been a bit of a learning curve for me. First, I cant use my HD that I use with Serato and Traktor because its formatted in Mac-OS journaled format but I didn't know that Rekordbox needs Windows type formatting on the hard drive or specifically FAT32. Until I reformat my secondary external HD for this format, I got me some fast USB sticks that I've been using with it (128GB USBs). Also, the quantize function had me tripping...cause when I set and hit my cues on the pads, the track DID NOT start on the 1. It took me a minute to turn that quantize off and set the cue point more true to what I like. The jog wheels are dope. And I think the software is....pretty good. Another gripe: tracks take A LONGG TIME to analyze in Rekordbox. I also use Denon Engine Prime and that shit is fast when analyzing tracks! Overall - I am glad I got the DDJ-1000 cause 1) I think Rekordbox is just getting better, but really, this controller has great physical qualities that I like in a controller: DUAL USB connects which is becoming a must have these days, you can use it without a computer, got screens ON the jog wheels...basically its sexy as hell. I just need to put in more time to learn the intricacies of Rekordbox. Man....I wish Native Instruments could make TOP LEVEL controllers like Pioneer does. Last thought: if this was a Serato controller, it would be the best one, hands down! Great Review TLM 👍🏾👍🏾
Dankjewel TLM ik heb hem ook gekocht👌🏼👊🏼
RewindRoy (broertje Nash Sittard)
Can you please plug two turntables in and play a short set?
I imagine the space requiered for the whole setup and the distance between the turntables to be huge.
I can also imagine, that is kinda awkward to make transistions with scratches between the two turntables because of this distance.
Could you please make such a video?
Couldn't find a video with a set two turntables connected to a ddj-1000 worked by a hip hop dj.
Would really appreciate!
Thank you very much for sharing..
If this had the functions to use without the laptop and just thru usb like the rx2 I would for sure buy
So what is the best for YOU (DJ TLM)? Numark NS7 (ii or iii) vs Pioneer D DDJ 1000? Why? Which ONE would you buy if you had neither controller? When you gonnna do the review of them side by side ?
I just ordered mine
Just my opinion. wished the desplays would look a bit more organized. Just need 2 times, BPM, Songtitles, loop. Simple and clear. No waveform, etc.
It would be dope if you could switch between two modes: basic and advanced. Like you said, one with just the basic info and then the other mode could have all of the info on screen
@@djTLMtv Thats also a very good idea! I would like to know if you would use a SX2 controller, do you plug it in straight into the mixer or do you use some kind of an amp or other device to advance the outputs of the SX2? Sometimes it sounds a bit weak compared to other controllers or CDJs
Thank you for this! Super cool video! A+++
lol your so excited, I have the unit also as my back up from my Denon Prime system. But you did not even go to the lighting side of it .... lol yea great controller!
Strip out version of earlier controllers from pioneer. NO master filter, NO second FX controls, only 1 fx per deck select or master, for exemple you can not selec FX ON on deck 1 and 2 and leave 3 and 4 without FX, LOOP is made worse, on DDJ RZX, DDJ RZ, DDK RX, DDJ RR looping was perfect(you have buttons to select loop size and button to activate and deactivate loop) now you can chose to map auto loop size for exemple 4 bars and when you press ACTIVATE LOOP button it always will activate 4 bar loop, there is no loops size select buttons on controler and no maping option of them. When you use PAD FX there is no parameter buttons, but you can map it (as I am) on SEARCH track buttons (exemple: use 1/2 echo or beat roll , pres button to make it smaler or bigger 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1, 3/4, 2, 4...) there is no sampler colour FX knob as on DDJ RZ DDJ RZX, there is no master colour FX knob, there is no NEEDLE SEARCH, there is no REC and PLAY and SLOT buttons for SAMPLER, there is no PAUSE stop time knob, key shift buttons, no KEY SYNC button... Becouse DDJ 800 have more buttons i bought it insted of DDJ 1000 but I so regret selling DDJ RZ, and olso regret why i didnt bought used DDJ RX insted new DDJ 800...
What about the Xfader on the RX? Is it a magvel as above? 16:12
Love the review. Quick question. Is it compatible with virtual DJ software and does it have beat sync buttons?
