for someone wanting Pioneer hardware running Rekordbox in standalone or controller mode, the Pioneer XDJ-700 with its good set of features, detailed touchscreen and overall compact size, this model is great value for money. Thanks for the brilliant video Kareem
I'm making the brave step from Serato to Rekordbox and this helped a lot.. both before AND after the purchase. Was still surprised by the small size at first but along with the DJM-450 it all looks nice and compact..
I misjudge this system. I saw it used live at an event and the DJs was pleased with it. In fact, the host of the event would consider buying one. I am researching it myself. This is why I went to you guys here and watch the video. Of course, it don't have everything like the Nexus and XDJ 1000 but for the price and the experience you will have playing on CDJs, I think it maybe worth it.
Harry Young, because with these pro four channel mixers they have send and return into any channel as well as capability to record and send to another channel so even if you only have two cdjs you can use all four channels
10:03 So True, and they release the hid of traktor for the nexus 2 before... they will skip some compatibility as they did with the HID of the CDJ-850 and do half of the work...
I am in 2 minds and need your opinions please... I have a Pioneer DJM 800 mixer and I am either going to purchase 2 of these XDJ 700s or buy the Denon Prime 4 plus all-in-one until....?
Those external power supply, most of them, will make your pro audio amp humming - and you will also get static noise on primary channel - if they are plugged in an outlet that is on the same electrical line. Be aware of this!
Too many things omitted for many from last gen Pioneer tech they already own. Apart from the screen/standalone Rekordbox tech the CDJ 400 has more features (& can still midi up to Rekordbox). & Looks like it has the same type glassyish top touch capacitive jog on my Pioneer flx6 . I paid about the same for CDJ 400s in 2009. Which leaves the XDJ 1000s, which are almost the same price as cdj 2000s on the current market. Makes a solid Denon SC5000 at £200 less per unit but having more features even over XDj 1000 seem like the best deal, when it comes to the 700. Regardless of industry standards.
@@NT_80 Hardware wise it's all about the Denon SC range. Controller wise it's about Pioneer ATM. If you use Rekordbox software to DJ with & want to use hardware & not a controller then xdj 1000, not even 700 i'd say. Only thing sc5000 are 2 decks in one (4 decks X2 units) they make a 2 channel mixer obsolete, you can use one but you will want all 4 channels. So look for a 4 channel mixer to go with.
I am not really a CDJ/XDJ DJ so I wouldn't ever get it, but I'd get it if I didn't want to pay big money for a CDJ-2000NXS or 3000... I believe they have an MK2, but the MK2 can't be used with Serato? I'm not sure but I think that's true...
@@glennkinning1370 This is Definitely a huge upgrade from a controller to me and it makes it so you can transition to other CDJ's in the club setting. Go for it!
Hi, i'm just about to purchase some pioneer xdj700's. I've been hearing that serato dj will not work with these decks which has confused me. Surely if I use my rane sl2, I will be able to dj using these decks with the time code on a usb? Can you confirm this for me please?
I’ve had these for several months now and love them...one thing that has been bugging me though, is there a way to wipe all the cue and loop points clean from all tracks so that they don’t appear every time I load my usb?
Hi, what would you recommend.. the S4mk3 or a pair of XDJ-700's. I already have a good mixer for my Tec 1200's so wouldn't need to include that in my choice. Cheers
The XDJ-700 can be used with Serato DJ as well, so if that's what you want to use, then the XDJ will be the way to go. If you want an all-in-one setup for Traktor, then go with the S4. Good luck with your choice.
Relatively new bedroom DJ here. I'm using a DDJ 400 and have been setting up to 8 cues (usually 4 though). I know there are only 3 cue points on the XDJ 700 so what happens to my remaining cues when I plug in my USB? Do they disappear or do they turn into memory cues?
got a set of these recently and having terrible issues. every time i load a track the opposite deck goes into emergency loop and the usb stick crashes. tracks have been analyzed in record box. no issue with tracks that have been just put on the usb stick directly but all the ones from record box fail every time, decks are brand new, usb stick brand new, using latest record box and firmware on decks up to date, seriously thinking to send them back. not sure what to do. any tips?
Never heard of this issue. Try different computer and different USB sticks. Also try to reinstall Rekordbox on another computer, then reload the USB stick again.
@@kareem_the_dream i got it to work by reformatting the drive to FAT32 and directly exporting tracks and albums after analysing them. however if i export a playlist to the usb when playing from the playlist on the xdj it constantly creates a loop error and the only way around that is to take out the usb. otherwise exporting without using playlists seems to work
I have my music on San disc usb like yours but how do I put all my usb music through record box so it will read my music when I put it into the unit .will it take my music as it is or is it only if I use a laptop I have to use recordbox ? Also if am using a non pioneer stand alone mixer with usb port will one lead into the mixer make both xdjs work as controllers or do you have to link individual xdjs to the laptop individual . About to buy these so advice would be great thanks
The price is horrible. If they were like $300 or less, maybe but feel I got a much better deal getting a DDJ 1000 controller for the price of two of these. Many more features and functionality.
Not!!! I would not pay for this. I am sorry but I rather go for the XDJ-RX2 or the XDJ-RR to save money. You still have to purchase 2 with a mixer. It is not worth it!

Superb video quality here dude.... Great review..
now they are compatible with Traktor pro 3 too.
10:03 So True, and they release the hid of traktor for the nexus 2 before... they will skip some compatibility as they did with the HID of the CDJ-850 and do half of the work...
anyone ever wonder is it possible with a firmware update that this unit will ever analyze on the fly?
thanks for a dope review. I want these now.
I am in 2 minds and need your opinions please... I have a Pioneer DJM 800 mixer and I am either going to purchase 2 of these XDJ 700s or buy the Denon Prime 4 plus all-in-one until....?
why would you use this with serato if you can just buy a controller for 250 bucks?
Those external power supply, most of them, will make your pro audio amp humming - and you will also get static noise on primary channel - if they are plugged in an outlet that is on the same electrical line. Be aware of this!
Those are nice the problem is that with the money you have to spent on a pair you can buy a XDJ-RR even for less

Is it possible to display the amount of time to the hotcues? in real time.
Great mixer and great for progression to CDJ 2000s
It’s not a mixer

That's a good question... I don't know how to do that honestly. Check the Serato DJ forums.

If you introduce a pen on a xdj, what about memory cues? You have to make them before on a computer with rekordbox, isn't it?
You can save cues real-time but you need to analyze the track in Rekordbox on a computer first to make everything work better...
Nice review! Thanks!
Can u control 2 decks on rekordbox dj on a mac with just one of these units??
I'm not so sure... Probably not.

update on that, using a sandisk ultra and no issues. seems to have been the kingston usb stick causing the problem
Does this supports Serato DJ yet?
No, it does not...
Great review! I got one of these and it did not come with the base to elevate it, any idea where I can get one?
Ebay would be the best bet!
Where is the beatjump function? cant find it
can you set the time to count up as well as down ? really want a pair myself and found this video very informing
Yes, you can change this from time elapsed to time remaining. Thanks.
I have my music on San disc usb like yours but how do I put all my usb music through record box so it will read my music when I put it into the unit .will it take my music as it is or is it only if I use a laptop I have to use recordbox ?
Also if am using a non pioneer stand alone mixer with usb port will one lead into the mixer make both xdjs work as controllers or do you have to link individual xdjs to the laptop individual . About to buy these so advice would be great thanks
you have to download rekord box onto your laptop and do it though there
which mixer you recomend to macth with this one nice and compact ??
The new DJM-450 by Pioneer!
Thanks 🔥😎😍😍

I sure would!
Nicely done. Thank you!
My next system two xdj700 and the djm750k so much cheaper than club spec system
why get the djm750k if u only have two cdjs? get a 450 or even better the xone 23
Is there a way to run Serato software on this XDJ-700???
darryl hines they don’t work with serato dj in hid mode
Do you do your Blazing Cuts videos anymore?
+0194D Not at the moment, but I will... I was just thinking about this today myself...
Great presentation!
Does the stand come with it?
I can't remember...
yes
does this have hid in rekordbox full software
Yes it works with the full Rekordbox DJ in HID mode...
Thanks I was just looking to buy this as a set with a djm750
I need help, I want my xdj 700 to be setup w auto cue
Hold down the "TIME A-CUE" Rectangle on the screen for a few seconds and it will engage.
Quanto custa uma dessa ai no EUA aqui no Brasil custa 5 salario e ai quanto cuta ,alguém poderia me informa ;Rio de Janeiro

+Enea Gjordeni Yes, the screen is definitely durable over time. Touch screen works great after lots of use...
+DJbooth DJ's *over the time .. thanks man!
How well can it run on the traktor Z2?
Yes it can, but you need timecode CD's...

doe it have beat jump?
Yes it does...
how do you use beat jump on the xdj 700s?
They don't have beat jump, just got some, very pleased with them though. Powerful players, many features. Touch screen is very responsive.
AFAIK they added it now I see it on the pioneer site listed . Firm ware update possibly
nice,, very good NICE STRIP SEARCH ( most important )and Power supply is annoying
THX nice!
Vielen Dank
they cost almost as much as the xdj 1000 mk1 not worth it
Not anymore !
@@Bearman94 right. The 1000mk2 costs $1,200 and so it's either around 1,500 for a pair of 700's or 2,500 for a pair of mk2's
