      You need to add 0:00 as well if you want the timestamps to appear properly on the video.

    Hi Phil :) my XZ finally arrived yesterday and I set it up in no time at all and stuck in a usb and had tracks playing, it's an amazing controller. Today I decided to watch your video again to refresh my memory with everything it does. Thank you Phil for the hard work you put into making this video it has really helped a lot and saved me having to read through the manual. :)

    After 10 years of having my Numark NS6, I finally upgraded to this bad boy. Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I was able to quickly learn the functionality of the controller and now I'm back to mixing without trying to figure the functionality on my own.

    As opposed to reading a manual, "Visual Learning" is the way to go.
    This form of teaching is less likely to frustrate you and more likely to keep you engaged.
    Outstanding and very informative, expect nothing less from Digital DJ Tips👍

    Hi Phil, Just wanted to say that this has got be one of the best learning clips I’ve seen and love the way you have explained this controllers functionality which is applicable elsewhere. During lockdown I’ve focused on my hidden passion for DJing but I’m 58 so probably a bit late to learn. I’ve dabbled over the years but not taken it seriously’ not realising that it’s something I really love. I’ve just upgraded from my Denon MX6000 Mk2 to Rekordbox Ddj1000 and this tutorial has been very useful indeed. I’ve subscribed to your feed and am impressed with the content; keep up the excellent work, I will be tuning in. Many thanks Graham.

    Phil and Digital DJ, just wanted to take the time and thank you for this detailed tutorial. I'm just starting off with my DJing. I've done a few events with an old mixer.
    I did some research and decided to commit and buy the Pioneer XDJ-XZ and when I received it I was extremely intimidated by it....
    Watching your tutorial definitely gave me confidence and I will refer back to it as time moves on.
    Thank you so much for doing this! You all are awesome!

    Thank you so much for making this. Having just bought an XZ moving from a ddj1000, much of it was familiar but so much wasn't. Your video really helped me feel at home with the new equipment and even taught me some things that my old could do and I never knew! Much appreciated 👍

    Hi,
    Ordered this a month ago, from one of the top danish DJ equipment sellers, after a lot of consideration, about what I needed, with extra inputs and such. Still waiting for it, as it is in high command apparently.
    But I’m really happy you did this tutorial, so I’ll be completely ready for it, when it arrives.
    Thanks a lot 🙌🏼

    Hi Phil,
    Just wanted to say a big thank you for making this video.
    I have watched it a few times now in preparation to me switching from Traktor Pro 2 using my S4 mk2, to a Pioneer XDJ-XZ which I took delivery of just a couple of days ago.
    I'm a complete newbie to Rekordbox and using Pioneer gear, so quite a bit to get my head round, especially with this unit.
    This video walk through of every single button has been a big help especially as there are some considerable differences between the 2 products.
    But particularly to the options and settings within the menu.
    You have really helps me out on that front as there has been a few things pickling my brain.
    I'm so sad, I even made notes as I have gone through the video as I knew I wouldnt remember everything once I'm standing in front of the XZ. 😂
    Thanks you so much, you're the man! 👊😎

    • @digitaldjtips
      @digitaldjtips  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's not sad, it's a great idea! Do make sure you download the Pioneer written manual itself and print it out too - they are a great complement to each other.

      The same zealots as the Pioneer ones, screaming 'its the clubstandard', or 'Denon for peasants/bedroomers' for decades, right?
      And yes the XZ is too expensive for that ancient screen, lack of SD/Sata/Wifi, and limited RAM (can't even do more than 8-beat jump). But I don't further care about it. I have left Pioneer and couldn't be more happier.

    • @substance90
      @substance90 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    • @BlueHawk80
      @BlueHawk80 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@substance90 Well, I have seen a lot, in videos, forums, blogs and social media. For years, when Denon has struggled and was a shadow of itself. Yeah, those fanboys have now become rather silent since the SC5000 got released, and they really should. Ofc you still get the standard "Prime 4 looks like Star Trek toy" or "Engine suckssss" quotes now and then. So again, trolls are on *both* sides and they suck, period and peace out.

    Great video, thanks for putting it together. I love my XZ, the only limitation I think it has personally is the number of units of BPM after the decimal point, its only one. so 128.0 for example - whereas it's more accurate if it has two. 128.00 for example. When using Rekordbox Software it has two decimal points on the screen. Wish they would update it.
