1 year Later - Is the Pioneer DDJ-1000 still worth buying? My review compared to DDJ-SX3 & DDJ-SX2

- I waited an entire year to pick up this monster of a controller. Was the DDJ-1000 STILL worth my time and money? Can I get over the fact it doesn't use SERATO DJ PRO? My comparison of the DDJ-SX2 and DDJ-SX3
- แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I am currently using the ddj-sx and looking to upgrade. I have a chance to get a ddj-sz1 with a case or a ddj 1000srt for the same price. Which would you choose?
DDJ1000SRT any day.
We won a TAC award at NAMM this gear for best DJ gear of 2019 on the DDJ-1000. I haven't spoken about this much on my channel but let me share some points some folks including myself haven't spoken about.
It only costs $200 more than the DDJ-RX but with addition of dual USB and full size jogs like the DDJ-RZ
It is $800 less than the DDJ-RZ
It is slightly smaller and lighter than the RZ
It's a cheaper way to get most of the DJM-900 Nexus series mixer in terms of channels and effects
First Pioneer controller to use pressure sensitive jogs (less prone to interference)
First of it's kind jog wheel display that will be appearing on the future Pioneer gear (like the DDJ-800)
Just thought I'd share that because I think it's points that haven't been emphasized enough.
Pri yon Joni good points my friend.
Never regretted buying my 1000 for a min!!!!! wonderful controller. got rid of my mcx8000 for it and have not missed my mcx8000 at all. the jog wheels alone sold me!!!!!
I’m on the fence right now.. Have a MC7000. I’m not wanting to move away from serato.. Wad it hard to do?
@@DJMikeSanders no the transition was easy
I actually like rekordbox better
I still have my small controller Denon mc4000 that uses serato and honestly I hardly use it anymore since I got the 1000
How come everyone prefers bigger jogwheels? i'm considering the traktor s4 mk3
Been a diehard Traktor user for years and I'm now seriously considering Rekordbox and the DDJ-1000 to replace my previous set-up. Your video has pretty much turned me over. Great comments, great review.
Scoox Same here!
Same. Mines in the post :)
Do it. It’s worth it.
10 + Year Serato Faithful...bought the DDJ 400 to “dip my toe” into Rekordbox...one month later bought the 1000. Actually the day the 800 was announced (wanted to wait to see what was more my speed) and I echo your sentiments 100 percent. This controller is the BEST piece of gear I’ve EVER owned. Period. I got a smokin’ deal on it as well (Thanks Sweetwater!)
I haven’t had this much fun DJing in YEARS. Great video man, just subscribed. I enjoy like minded peers. Thanks for your real review of this amazing controller. I too wish I bought it in January of 2018! Cheers and happy mixing.
DDJ-1000 is probably my favorite jog wheel controller to date! I only like the NS7III better since it has actual moving platters...
I use my DDJ 1000 with Virtual DJ and it works flawlessly!
Really?
Excellent fun and informative video. Thanks for doing this. I just got the DDJ-1000 based on your video and some other research. I was mulling it over and Amazon suddenly put it on sale for $999 so I pounced. I’ve never used anything like this before-just Virtual DJ on Automix and plain old players and a mixer before that. I have a lot to learn!
Great, in-depth review as always Terry. I look forward to your videos, sharing your honest prospective. I’ve been using Serato and RB (thumb drive) for many years. RB has come a long way, Pioneer has invested a lot of time/research/money to make it a fully featured DJ software. However, to me the stone cold killer is going to be the Denon Prime 4 controller. I saw and spent time with it at NAMN and it’s amazing. Denon has truly listened to DJ’s and it exceeds expectations. The Prime Engine software is also very Intuitive and has a fantastic work flow. This is the future, Its going to force Pioneer to innovate. In the very near future the Prime 4 will be Serato and Virtual DJ compatible (with a laptop). Once released it will accept, all of the Serato meta data, queue points, folders, etc without external conversion making it very easy to convert.
Was browsing thru TH-cam and came upon your video.....Very good insight on the DDJ-1000!!!! I've had it for almost a year and it blew me away!!!! I always tell people who are used to Serato that Rekordbox is Serato on Steroids......It takes it bit of learning and I'm still finding out different things on it, but it is a very good program!!!! The DDJ-1000 has made alot of us who cannot fork up the 6 Grand for the nexus system very happy.
i totally agree and i'm now saving money to get this controller!
switching from a Numark NV2 :P
Its 2021 now. Im worried about buying this and then they come up with a new one! or a new XZ with 4 channel capability (for example)... What you guys think?
I Bought this when it came out last year and its one of the best so far ......Much love and respect from South Africa
i just got my DDJ-1000 in yesterday and i love it, better yet, i love Rekordbox. i was nervous about the move from Serato but i am glad i did.
Why???
I know you’re missing those mid band eqs on the mic channels.
Here’s a tip you may or may not know.
If you want to boost the mids, turn the lows and highs down and turn the gain UP.
If you want to drop the mids, turn the low and highs up and the gain DOWN.
It’s all relative, so this gives you nearly the same eq curves.
Enjoy!
Oh also, sorry to keep commenting, but the positioning of the 3rd microphone on an SX3's front; the reasoning behind it is that it is easier to access if you needed to quickly add a 3rd microphone. Reaching to the back can be tricky and sometimes risky during a gig. Let's say the MC has one mic, and the best man is doing a speech with the other, but you had to quickly make an announcement. You can quickly plug a microphone and do a quick blurb, and easily disconnect it. The front wire sticking out can be remedied with an L cable or an L adapter. I get it's not the most preferred way, but that's why you have channels 3 and 4 for the other ones.
Bro, somehow i laughed all through your video. You obviously love the DDJ1000. Thanks a r the video. Subscribed
Just picked up my DDJ 1000 last week w/ 20% off. I think that was a fair price, yes? I used a Pioneer Wego 3 for 5 years, picked up the DDJ 400 and now the DDJ 1000. This unit will keep me excited for a while. Thanks for your input.
Still hold true today? Do you think Pioneer is shifting everyone to Recordbox? I wouldn't mind but I love Serato Studio!!!
agreed bro. sucks pioneer is doing this and the srt is shit
Hey Cleveland a big thanks for this video. Super useful! I'm planning to upgrade from a DDJ 400 to this controller and have the same question that you have asked "Is the Pioneer DDJ-1000 still worth buying?" Now that its been 2 years since its launch or is it better to wait as a new release might be in the pipeline?
Thank you for this. I'm considering switching from Serato to Rekordbox due to this controller. It really has everything I want/need in a controller. I've been djing jungle/drum and bass since 96 and was vinyl only until maybe 2005 or 2006. I took some time off from djing from 2010-2020 but now am back and streaming 2-3x week on Twitch while in lockdown. Ive been using a Numark MixDeck Express because it can function without a laptop which had me considering the Denon Prime 4 as an upgrade. However, I'm leaning more towards the DDJ-1000 because, if/when things get back to normal I want to be more familiar with what's in all the clubs these days. Thank you for such an in-depth review. I've already seen enough about the DDJ-1000SRT that it's not even a consideration anymore. Pioneer clearly wants people using Rekordbox.
How has the transition to from Serato to RB? Do you also use RB DVS with turntables with your S9? How well does it work?
I ordered today SRT version .......... I also have DDJ-SZ silver color, and I think is pretty much same thing in a different size.
@1CBRDUDE Yes, You will need to use Serato Video, which is included for free when you buy Controller DDJ-1000SRT. I think is only on first 5000 units.
Hi Cleveland Terry, I couldn’t agree more, I’m a long time mobile dj, still got the sx2, used serato for years, but I bought the DJ 1000, around 8 months ago and WOW, different level from the sx2, now fully moved over to RB and use that solely for my wedding/birthday gigs etc, (I do use vdj for karaoke with a dj2go2 controller) I cant bring myself to sell the sx2 yet? Dunno why, nostalgia? perhaps because I used serato for so long, it’s like your favorite old pair of sneakers!, but I never play out with it. Great vlog as always. Keep em coming. From. English DJ in Spain!
SX2 will work on Rekordbox no problem
@@k9chance250 Hi, yeah i used RB with my SX2, but i do prefer using the software that the controller was designed for, with the exception of VDJ, which works great on everything.
I have the DDJ-1000 and I love it but I don’t like Rekordbox.
You're very right. Pioneer is beyond done with serato. I'm sure they will crap out some obligatory controllers for it still, but it's obvious with the "club standard" layouts they are using that they want you to feel burdened by using anything which isn't pioneer.
I really appreciate the reviews. Screw the haters. It is, definitely, what you do with whatever software you use. Which is why you need the one you like best. Way easier to have fun and play a good dj set if you enjoy what you're doing it on. Some prefer a straightforward experience (serato), some prefer a fair deal of customization (rekordbox), some want to hack the hell out of it (traktor), and some like the most cutting edge features and/or ugly appearances (vdj).
I am even looking forward to your rekordbox review, even though I already chose to use that as my primary software, lol.
Love your review. Long time Serato/Vestax controller user here. About a year ago, I wanted to upgrade and took the leap of faith to the DDJ1000. Can't say enough about how much I enjoy this setup. One of the most versatile controllers I've personally used. Rekordbox has been very stable. Never had any issues with sound or freezing. I use it regularly for gigs.
14:18 ... that was disturbing. great vid otherwise :-)
fyi: telegram spam still ongoing. be aware!
This helps so much, I've just moved across to Rekordbox after 18 odd years on Traktor and got a DDJ 400 to test the system. Was going down the 800 path, though now after this review the 1000 must be it. Really great video that gets to the points. Nice.
Ddj400 purchased ..Did you have to pay to use the other pioneer controllers??
Nice video and review. I'm thinking about buying it. How is the performance of DDJ-1000 if you try to connect two Technics SL-1200 on it?. I've seen there are 'phono' inputs. Is good the performance?. Best!
Would you recommend me the DDJ 1000
I went for the ddj 800. I think it’s perfect for bar gigs. I’d like the next iteration of the 1000 being that it’s already been out for 2.5 years
nice talking points terry. i grabbed the ddj1000 the month it came out. i used to be on the traktor side of the fence with my s4mk2. i agree that the jog wheels on the ddj1000 will not make you miss your turntables, but i bought the dvs option just to have it. what is weird with the dvs though is that it does not enable you to emulate the tt stop sound when pressing the start/stop button on the 1200. traktor has a better implementation on this.
moving from traktor to rekordbox was a bit of a pain at first as i didnt have rekordbuddy, but it made me trim down my collection (as i had to rebuild it from scratch) to the bare essentials. one year later and i am still enjoying this controller. best jog wheels on the market! i also agree that if you could save up for the 1000, get it instead of the 800. the magvel fader is not on the 800.
btw, if you scratch a lot, then do skin your controller, at least for the mixer section. the acrylic top scratches very easily! even if you use the smoothest cloth to wipe it, you will introduce microscratches on it. the crossfader part of my ddj1000 looks bad now because of this. cheers!
DJ DLS Helpful tip about the skins. I’m new and didn’t know you could do that. Thanks!
I’m in the same boat as far as making the switch. I remember when I transitioned from VDJ to SERATO, I fkn HATEDDDDD SERATO 😂😂
Now I LOVE SERATO, and I’m terrified to even try RB.. I’m a Mobile DJ so I’ll prob stick with what I know, but that gear envy is getting to me and I wanna explore my options 👍👍
I'm a current VDJ user. The market I'm in as well as my DJ peers try to peer pressure and shame me into using Serato. As a previous VDJ user, what would you say is better about Serato?
going from serato to RB is easy mode. they are very similar
Noel literally everything. I saw VDJ as a toy after i switched years ago to the SL1 and CDJs
Good video can’t wait to see the review of Rekordbox. Maybe you should do a video on the comparison of Serato pro to Rekordbox that would be interesting and yes there are videos of that topic already but they are old videos. Thanks for the reviews.✌️
Man, you waited a year, I’m still waiting 😩. I do love everything about it. I got the DDJSX2
I gotta ask. Is the DDJ 1000 still worth it at this time? Fumbling around with placing an order on sweetwater even though it's still on backorder.
If you don’t absolutely need it right now…wait until namm.
@@ClevelandTerry You know, Sounds like I'm taking a vacation. Thanks man😂🤣✌🏿✌🏿
And now the DDJ 1000SRT is out so I guess Pioneer is completely done with Serato. With that said I have heard the SRT is a crappier version of the 1000 which makes me think they are subtly getting people to move over to Rekordbox
Is Serato DJ Pro due for a UI facelift ? It feels dated compared to Rekordbox 5.5 - also: my S9 sounds so much better running Rekordbox 🤔
I doubt it. They just came out with Serato DJ Pro. They are slow to make any drastic changes.
Hi mate it’s now been out a very long time but I still think it’s the best option I’m seeing at under £1200 is it still worth buying today .?
Great video! I personally don't think pioneer is moving away from Serato. I feel pioneer has created a monopoly in the DJ industry. No what they will be relevant. They still benefit from serato with the dedicated serato controllers. And Rekordbox DJ works with most pioneer serato controllers. With the release of the 400, 1000 and now the 800 more people will discover Rekordbox DJ. It is brilliant that they only work for Rekordbox DJ.
They win no matter what.
I also have the 1000 and the sx2. Rekkordbox is awsom. The only feature I wish Rekordbox has is flip.
Other than that I don't miss using Serato at all.
Thanks for the video!
Yeah flip is an issue.
The Denon Prime 4 is about $1700 usd. I still will get the DDJ 1000. It worth it!!!
I started dj'ing on serato and made a quick move to RB and I love it! I'll probably never go back to serato.
hey Terry, i just finally used my just bought DDJ 1000, and Rekordbox has me puzzled, being i has Serato And it on Same Laptop, it doesn’t Accept all my music, #1!!!!, it mentions that certain types of formatted music is not Accepted too, Sound and Feel is dope🧨🧨🧨☝🏾, Answer my Issues please?? Thanks, Should i get a seperate, Laptop for rekordbox, Is this a True Reality Terry????? please be honest, it only accepts 5,000 to 6,000 songs, i got 33,000 songs on It, turned laptop off and back on All Songs Remained Was 5000 to 6000 only i was annoyed, help me out my brother Thanks
The professor on deck, hello Cleveland✌
Thinking of purchasing the XDJ-XZ because it has a send input where I can connect a DJS-1000.
For the sake of saving money, if I purchase the Rekordbox DDJ-1000, will I be able to hook up a DJS-1000 to the unit ?
My goal is to get the 1000. I was leaning, but your review got me sold on it. In time I will get this controller. Thanks
And on too the new Pioneer Rev7. I think I'm going to pick up the ddj1000 hope it goes down in price. I believe I'm done chasing these Dj controllers around. Sincerely Dj-X-Cell Las Vegas peace.
The efx work so much better on the DDJ 1000's than the SX3....it's practically night and day. Not to mention the Mic talk over feature on the DDJ 1000 is pretty damn good!
Agreed
I just started learning how to DJ and said fuck it I’ll buy the 1,000 I feel I made a good choice
Welp guess im gonna start saving for this beast
I'm thinking of getting the ddj 1000...im upgrading from a roland dj 202 because the channel one fader won't work unless there is pressure on it and the parts have a silly waiting time to be sent from Japan.
Every where iv looked for the ddj 1000 they also on back order.
I'm gutted, but It gives me more time to do research on the ddj....
Do you know of any common faults with the ddj 1000?
Pioneer is done with Serato - you called it back in 2018. Seems like all of the new Pioneer gear is built for Rekordbox, even the new DDJ-XZ seems like it was built mostly for Rekordbox. Serato is my software of choice but I can see new DJs moving to Rekordbox.
im torn between buying the ddj 800 or the sx3 could you give me some advice? i dont mind which software
Rekordbox Gang! SX-2 Owner Goin To DDJ-1000. Rekordbox Is Insane.
I really like the look of the DDJ 1000. Like you Cleveland I didn't want to get it because it was RB only. I've been on Serato for some time now and currently use and NS7III and really like it. I want something that weighs less and good features and large jog wheels.
After your review I will give the Pioneer unit a closer look. Great informative review.
I'm still debating between the ns7iii and ddj 1000 RB
The NS7 just feels good man
There’s rumors a Serato version is coming soon. There’s pics floating around on Instagram...too soon
I started my Dj life with the Ddj 1000 one year ago, BEST controller ever i switched to club standar cdjs smooth, ddj 1000 is the BEST rekordbox is getting better each update i will kick serato's soon
It works with VDJ too
Does the SX3 not "Hardware Unlock" the Core features of Rekordbox?
can one use this controller with virtual DJ ???
Yes
I just switched from the RX2 to the DDJ 1000 and haven’t looked back. What a sick controller and loving the 4 channels, DVS capability and jog wheels. Miss the convenience of popping in my USB stick and going but doesn’t outweigh the Pros
was on the fence, thanks for the backup on my decision to get the DDJ1000! 4 channels FTW!!!!
I just like you as a personality I literally just watch your videos for fun I already own xdj xz but enjoy how you talk
Adam Rodriguez well that’s good because I like to talk. 😀
Thanks for this review. I've been eyeing the 1000 for a few weeks now. I am going to be ordering it this week.
That comment I just wrote is much longer than it looks Cleveland. Be sure to expand it. :-). Thanks buddy
I’ve never experienced people say the 1000 is bad. I have once, and it was over the DDJ 400. It is super rare for people hating on the controller.
Unless you want to use turntables and also play analog vinyl with it.
The built - in pre-amps are probably worst on the market for this scenario.
As officialy stated by Pioneer: "..the pre-amps are for digital signal / DVS. For analog buy and use external RIAA pre-amps".
Really? On a 1000€ controller?
So knowing you can get DDJ-1000 SRT which would you choose. I waited for the SRT and also love it
I just upgraded to DDJ 1000 from my SX2 yesterday! I love the thing. I’m still testing out rekordbox. And I don’t have any complaints coming from serato.
Have you checked out our new DDJ-1000SRT?
Pri yon Joni Yup, posted a video about it. Exciting times for Serato fans.
Have you tried DVS with the 1000 rekordbox? Is the performance as good as Serato?
Thank you CT! My Denon MC6000 took a dump and I needed to get another 4 channel and your video totally helped, thanks!
My that no a problem the problem is we have too move 4 tb music play list from serato too rekordbox that the big problem if they have a problem whit the money is between them ok so we are the costumers for me they don’t respect the costumers they think because they have money they can play with as I have too said and I said ok I am explosive engreí whit them I am so desapoinment ok sorry bro thanks for everything it’s good too know the diferens between updates thanks have a good weekend
The best controller ever. And switching from Serato to Rekordbox is not a problem at all. Rekordbox is great too.
I own a DDJ-RX since 5 years and use it with rekordbox. I am super happy with it, but I tested the DDJ-1000 last Friday and it is sooo nice..
What do you guys think?.. Does it make sense to sell my DDJ-RX and buy a DDJ-1000, or should I better wait for Pioneer to bring out a replacement of the DDJ-1000?
It's so hard for me to decide, because the controller's release is already 2 years ago now...
until "Prime 4" . Watch the reviews its always positive.
the only thing stopping me is no built-in sampler. maybe a firmware fix can do something?
Why is it that I rarely hear guys talking about Virtual DJ? It seems like it's always rekord box or serato....
Brand new to DJing and want an entry level 4 channel DJ mixer. Questions for you! How is the video functionality in Rekordbox? I want to add an element of Video DJ output to my mixes. Second question, If I decided to stick with Serato is the DDJ-1000SRT just as good as this? Thanks and awesome video.
Nice review Cleveland Terry. I have one question for you, i have been using virtual dj on my computer for about 9 years now, never used a DJ controller before. Now my question to you is what do you recommend DDJ 1000 or the DDJ-1000SRT ? So far this is the two of my choice that I am looking at right now. Thanks in advance.
Mine has the glitch where the cross fader does not center right. upgraded to the latest firmware still way off. makes scraching or cross fader mixing useless. Been putting off sending off to repair for awhile but it must be done before the warranty expires. damn shame. I gotta go without it for a few weeks and pay before shipping. after dealing with USB dropouts from my ns7ii i was hoping pioneer would do better. Nope disappointing :(
Yes by far ddj1000 still the best controller out there... to really understand and agree what we ddj 1000 owners are saying... just try one before arguing... all those who tried will tell you the same... it's the best... only thing missing is standalone features like denon prime 4 but the 4 channels mixer on the ddj1000 is standalone... good for now until next beast comes out!
Serato sucks! I mean.. comparing it to rekordbox. Ddj1000 is amazing!
I might consider buying this where I am in London, UK seems to be the controller to get today still
I don't really DJ on midi controllers , I have DDJ 400 entry thing and it seems ok , I'm more Technics or vinyl plus cdj 2000 DJ
Never been fan of all in one combi products
Rekordbox DJ is amazing tho I have to say , being club DJ I can prep DJ set then play in club or bar on cdj 2000 nexus off usb with how I set it up in the rekordbox DJ app
Not fan of rekordbox DJ DVS tho on Technics turntables as such with their timecode vinyl , but I found that using Serato timecode vinyl on Rekordbox DJ yes lol with Technics is perfect , pitch , mixing etc it really works but you only have rel mode not abs
Great review on the DDJ-1000, keep up the good work 👍
I been using Pioneer DDJ-SZ a quite a while. Cool thing about this controller can run up to 4+ dj softwares. Serato Dj, Pro, Rekordbox, Traktor Pro 2,3 and Virtual Dj. Pioneer DDJ-SZ2 only Serato dj Pro. DDJ-SZ and SZ2 have the same quality as Pioneer DDJ-1000. I didn't bother upgrade to DDJ-1000. Even though DDJ-1000 has more effects and some other stuff. I only used certain effects anyway. Love the controller. U mention Pioneer my not continue Serato. I think ur right ! I have a hunch lol Pioneer may come out two more Serato controllers. That be it. My guess be Pioneer DDJ-SZ3 and Pioneer DDJ-SZX. Hoping anyway lol.
Great review as always. Def a beautiful controller! But only reason for nor getting it yet is that i feel a new NS7 is on its way
Tell me more I'm running a 3 at the moment
Caution:
DDJ-1000 has pre-amps that are absolutely not suited to play analog vinyl!
A real shame for 1000 € controller.
You can find a lot about this issue and it's officially confirmed by Pioneer.
The pre-amps are for DVS / time code. If you want to use the controller with analog vinyl, Pioneer suggests to buy and use external RIAA pre-amps.
Shame for cheaping out on the pre-ams. A 200 € Xone 23 has MUCH better sound with analog vinyl.

Richard Leiva yes
“The Denon Prime’s are a different story” ✊🏽
Bro I had my Denon Prime for a week now. The Prime engine is sooooooo far behind what it should be compared to other softwares. This would not be so bad if you could correct the bpm on the machine. With the Prime being standalone you would figure that would be a no brainer. so if you load a new track on the fly and want to give it a play, and the Prime recognized th bpm wrong (which its super prone to do) you gotta go back to your computer. How is that standing alone? lol i hate product features that hinge on a technicality.
the video that I needed!
I'm going to upgrade from my little vestax typhoon to ddj-1000 ... I think it will help me to be a better DJ and be more creative.
tino2897 it will be like someone opened a door and sunshine came glaring through. Good luck on your upgrade
I also waited almost a year.
i have a ddi sx2 and finally ordered a ddj1000 ...BUT I touched the pitch fader of the ddj100 and was shocked how it felt like. I feels just cheap... plastic.
and also the jogwheels feel cheap. If they were like those on the RZ or SZ I would totally go for it. But for me those jogs are just feeling awful. With this feeling I won't be ever jealous of a CDJ setup with those Jogwheels again.
The jogwheels on the SX2 are also made from plastic but feel waayyy better.
I have to admit. When you mix with the DDJ 1000 you forget about the haptic quite easily because it is so much fun. But when you stop and come back you have to get used to it again.
I love all the features of the DDJ 1000 but all the plastic do not convince me to pay over 1000 Euros for this.
nope. Could have been perfect.
Looking for a new controller. My SX2 is starting to have issues... Platter won't let me scratch consistently, randomly stops playing tracks,.etc. Will probably go with 1000SRT, as it appears 1000 Rekordbox doesn't work with SoundSwitch DMX lighting control. As a one man show, Serato and SoundSwitch make a professional look and sound simple.
You could also use a virtual DJ with the 1000 record box version
@@ClevelandTerry I appreciate you mentioning that. I bought VDJ 7 Pro years ago, but once I got Technics 1200's, I went to Serato Scratch Live... I found the wave patterns easier to read on SSL. I will download the current version of VDJ and give it a try... It's probably been almost a decade since I used it.
fantastic review... best one i've seen on TH-cam, thanks for the info. just got a 1000
I'm so interested in getting the ddJ-1000. Just as you mention it provide you with a very close felling to what a CDJ will be but Portable and with a mixer included for a much affordable price tag. So can you tell me how it feel if you want to scratch. I use turntable at home and for the road I normally use a DDJ-sx2. Do you think Pioneer will come with the same model but stand alone? I would love a DDJ-1000 stand alone with spinning platter. It may never happen.
I would get the DDJ-1000 the only thing stopping me is Rekordbox doesn't support Windows media audio (wma) files. I use a laptop not a Mac so I don't have access to record buddy yet either. I hope they update Rekordbox to support wma someday.
I just bought the DDJ1000-SRT so it was a little hard to watch @11:13 I know you made this last year but man if you would've waited a little while it could've saved you a few dollars. I'm guessing they gave in and made a Serato version because of the complaints from customers who didn't want to make the transition to RecordBox. Great video and info though and if you did end up getting the SRT how do you like it compared to the 1000?
DDJ1000 is a waste still. Pioneer try and fuck you every which way to make you buy different products.
Why dont they just make an all in one independent 4 channel controller with cdj sized platters, all the features from the sx3 and the build quality of the 2000s. Make it work with rekordbox traktor and serato or just on its own. They wont because its the only product anyone will buy or use. They are screwing everyone as it stands...
What things are you required to buy extra to make it work?
I had a ssx2 for a few years.Ditched it for the NS7iii.Pioneer makes got mixers,butcin my opinion there controllers are kinda sketchy. If you're looking for a vinyl feel in a controller,then just get a NS7iii.👍✌
Great video. I have the DDJ-SX2 and really wanted the DDJ-1000 when it came out last year but I have big problem, and that is I'm a Windows user and Rekord Buddy 2 is only available for MAC OS right now. My library with all the cue points, saved loops, etc would all have to be redone if I wanted to get the DDJ-1000. That would take me HOURS.....hell, maybe a solid week to be honest. Just don't really want to do that.
And then the DDJ-1000SRT come out.. i'm still rockin on the DDJ SX2 anyway, love the compatibility of the controller to be able to work with Serato - Rekordbox - Traktor and even VirtualDJ. Also easy to replace the crossfader. ;)
Great review bro,but I don't like the rekord box software. Serato makes me more creative with my mixing,Lovely controller the jog wheels looks rigid.
The jog wheel can be as rigid or smooth as you want. That’s what the jog feel knob is used for. It’s the 💣
@@ClevelandTerry Yes brother keep up the great work. I always look towards your videos,they're very informative.
I've had my DDJ-1000 for 3yrs now and I love it my first controller. I also have my turntable's with the Phase controller hooked up to it using Rekordbox
Man you remind me so much of my friend DJ M.I.B. He also switched from the SX to the DDJ-1000 about a year ago and also switched to Rekordbox from Tracktor at the same time. He lovesssss his 1000 and Rekordbox. Anyway, I also own the SX2 and the SR2. I use the SR2 as my main gigging controller, but I am very excited about the DDJ-800 mostly because of the placement of the mic controls. Anyway, great review here!!! I enjoyed it!
