    I think its a good thing when all the info is smashed on 1 screen. It still includes all the same info of both tracks and you don't have to jump between 2 screens to get the info you want. just 1 screen = all info. xz is the best thing pioneer has ever made I feel.

    the new CDJs are a kick in the face for actual CD DJs, since it's not an actual cd player.
    I'm glad they have the all in one units, but the club standard gear is kind of impractical. Sure it might be nice to own, but it's so nice having one thing that does it all. (the standalones do double as just straight up mixers too)

    agree in 2023..who plays CD's.. makes sense that now there's no CD slot in the 3000. crazy how expensive the xz is now... its 2500 to 3000. Compared to 2000 USD, that more or less it was in 3 years ago at least in your country at the time of this video.

  • @alexsternwart7057

    Clubs always have some gear to repair or to service. So if you have 3 CDJS and 2 Mixers, you always can service one CDJ and one mixer. Or if a CDJ or a mixer has a problem during the night, you have another one to go on. In a allinone controller, the whole equipment goes out for service. And some Djs have technical riders, so they want may a DJM900nx2 and 2 CDJ 2000nxs2 or 3000

    You should learn how to beat match in your head, I learned of 2 Gemini turntables back in 93. But I just sold my mixer and 2 cdjs, and bought this,and useing it with 2 more cdj nx2s. Im tryn to figure this controller out because ive never spun on one in my life,until today when I bought the XZ.

  • @odessaone5863
    @odessaone5863 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    thx for the review. great comparison! I play at different venues, and on my rider, I always ask for cdj2000 and djm800 or more recent. Now that I own a xdj xz for a fair price, I can practice my sets at home, and when I have to play at a venue, it feels no diffferent. The only question I have is, when there is damage due too somebody spilling a beer or something over the xz, is it also repairable just like the professional players? There are no visual screws or what so ever on the XZ. There is a big price difference, and when a cdj or your djm get's damaged you can put the damaged product for repair. While the XZ is an all in one...

  • @theiguy99
    @theiguy99 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I've had the XZ for about 3 months and think it's a massive win win. Serious set up and love having the 4 channel availability.
    Do find the single screen a bit distracting tbh and find myself focusing a bit too much on the waveforms instead of my ears. Doesn't help when there appears to be a lag but it's only visual. Apart from those little and a few other miner things, I think this thing is amazing!
    Question I do have for anyone who knows... Does anyone find the mixer controls are more sensitive on this XZ and has anyone been having issues with it reading USB drive?

    Coming up in a slightly underground basement party scene CDJs were viewed as a necessity, like a DJ wasnt legit if he didnt spin on CDJS there was a sort of condescending air towards controllers and laptops and the like. As ive matured and graduated to wedding gigs rather than K parties, ive started to see that the true best system is the one that works every time with minimal issues, allowing you to play your tracks seamlessly, keep the dance going, and field requests if possible. It has to look legit too, and as Traktor have officially discontinued sjpport for the Kontrol series, my dorky s4 js going to have to become a wall hanging.

  • @SBBUK
    @SBBUK ปีที่แล้ว +3

    One difference worth pointing out that you didn't mention - there is no proper send/return on the XZ for external effects, so you cant really use RMX1000 etc. I guess you can put it on a channel fader or master channel but it's not the best way. The OPUS QUAD that just got released fixed the problem about 4 decks BUT it's drifted further from the club standard setup.. both a pro and con.

    This thing is a beast!
    A few months ago I was very confused between getting a DDJ or an XDJ. My problem is that I couldn't decide which controller nor which All-In-One I wanted/needed. (ddj800 vs ddj1000 vs XDJ-RX2 vs XDJ-XZ).
    I understood quickly that the XZ was the way to go in terms of an all in one. In the vontroller side it was much more difficult. I'm a mobile Dj and I do weddings most of the time, so I only use 2 channels to mix. But the ddj1000 really seems as a better tool in general. I finally decided I needed the DDJ 800 and wanted the XDJ-XZ. I didn't went for the RX2 because it doesn't give me the master EQ nor the independent 3 band EQ on mics (plus the other 2 channels available and the on jog displays). And I didn't went for the ddj 1000 because it only gave me 1 more channel (800 has an aux channel), bigger jogs (which i dont mind since I have played alwas with a ddj sx) and a second USB that seems to be the best feature it gains, but I can throw in an anolg mixer and make the other Dj arive with his controller.
    I think it is a long comment and a very useless one for most other Djs and enthusiasts, but I wanted to share my choice and this video seemed like the best place to do it.
    P.D. I already bought my DDJ 800, but this fu***ng virus and the harsh times I am going through stopped me from buying the XZ (for now).

    Mate I’ve watched a couple of your vids now and think you’re reviews are next level. Seriously honest.
    Can I pick your brain!? Prime 4 vs Xz? I’ve watched your video and still can’t decide. I’m currently running a DVS Traktor but want to ditch the laptop altogether. Why do I feel drawn towards the more expensive unit which has half the capability? All being said I will have 2 x technics 1200 alongside to ?play vinyl... although my actual vinyl collection is small and growing v slowly!!

      Thanks for the kind words bro, I'm glad you like my vids 🤟 and honestly, I'm the exact same. I'm about to upgrade to an all in one and I can't help but to be drawn to the XZ. Its just pioneer isn't it. It comes with the prestige of the past. Seriously though, you should get the Prime 4. Your overall mixing experience will without a doubt be better. Either way, you're getting an amazing system and won't be disappointed.

      If you are on the lookout and have some patience you can buy a HQ "as new" secondhand NXS2 setup for half price. I got 2x CDJ NXS2 and a DJM750mk2 (got this one to have hardware unlock RB6, 900NXS2 doesn't have that) for 3000, incl decksavers. Main reason, I like modular better than standalone

    The Denon Prime 4 is why Pioneer made the XZ. They had to make it. They did a good job. Denon just did a better job. The Denon is a true no computer 4 channel stand alone controller. Also having wifi streaming capability puts it in a class that Pioneer can't touch at the moment.

      Advantage with Pioneer Xdj XZ is you can use USB and laptop at the same time, so you can do audio mixing with USBs and Video mixing via laptops on other 2 channels.
      With the Denon Prime 4 it's either 4ch standalone or laptop, I understand you have ro reboot the unit to standalone or laptop, this is let down on P4 also the jog wheels or really for scratching, it's fine for beat mixing.
      Overall the Pioneer is yesterday's controller, compared to P4, wish it had a bigger screen and touch mode with wifi streaming

      On home setups and nightclub systems the difference in sound quality is negligible. What's the point in me talking about "the big rigs" when that's less than 0.1% of the people watching?

      No offense intended. Just a bit of feedback on something that was clearly missing.
      You're already into the thousands of $$ with this bit of kit. It's not a toy. It's worth talking about.
      (Hint: That's a large part of the reason why the standalone gear is more expensive.)
      "Sound quality" is an important part of the equation.
      If you didn't do this research, don't know enough to evaluate this, or can't hear well enough to address the differences...or, y'know, if you're one of those guys who thinks mp3s are "just fine", nevermind...

      The point is I'm making a video for the fans of this industry. Maybe they're thinking of getting an XZ, Maybe they are looking at getting an old set of CDJs. It's a discussion about features and specifications. I'm not a professional sound engineer, nor do I want to be. Im sure the higher end equipment performs better on the big stage. This video isn't for the big stage. CamelPhat aren't going to watch this video and go oh yeah, DJ Kiz Walsh said the XZ is better value so I'm getting that! Its of course for the bedroom DJs / Mobile / Club DJs who want the main differences between the two setups. Stop overthinking and just enjoy it for what it is.
