    I've not DJ'd in years. :ast decks i used were the CDJ 800's. I'm DJing in Thailand next month. Obviously i'll use USB's for new tracks. But being able to take my CD's with house classics and still being able to use them on these decks is good.
    Cheers for the tips gents. But someone like me all i need, is cue, start and pitch control. The rest is way above my station haha

    The CDJs are so awesome, I been thinking to get 2 of those and a DJM mixer, and that's for both my home sets, which I hadn't done yet, and the occasional events. I also wanted to be an masked DJ for My best family member when she's get married, if she will ever get married.
    P.S: It will be an surprise. 😉

  • @introvertkurt1622
    @introvertkurt1622 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    For those saying you can't afford this set. Find out if your local music store offers to finance. Save up a couple grand for a down payment, and then pay the rest off (with most finance options) by 1,2,3, or 4-year terms. If you want DJ'ing to be a side income or full-time job, take some money from your gig payments and put more money down per month or every month that you seem fit. Just be smart with your money. Though I must say, don't grab this whole set-up if you're just in your bedroom with no dreams of doing gigs and potentially making money DJing, it would be a big waste of money...only because you won't be seeing the return of investment. It's never bad to invest in yourself and your career.

    Great video thanks... Would you be able to make a video showing how it's all connected and works with RB DJ? Is it all connected with USB's in HID mode? Can you still connect everything with ethernet cables to your computer with RB and drag and drop your music from RB onto the CDJ's on the bottom? Do you loose information or the waveform on the cdj when your connected to RB DJ? I have the NXS MK1 CDJ's and that's how I use it with my DJM 2000 Nexus as the HUB. Thanks in advanced.

    • @dsquareddan
      @dsquareddan 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +DJ Tony Romeo yes, you can still do the ethernet connection to laptop for Rekordbox. there is still a 5th "Cue" button on the mixer to preview tracks on laptop before they are loaded in decks. I've not seen anyone test it with Rekordbox DJ, but I do know they are "fully supported". So I imagine waveform information is shown. I doubt they'd launch their top of the line gear without all the features supported

    No key sync, no countdown to cue point, in a player that costs €2300! Wow... And you still need an external controller to access all 8 hotcue points at a time. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    • @dsquareddan
      @dsquareddan 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Mario Pandža Rekordbox shows you which keys are compatible on the players. And you can filter it to only show compatible keys. it also has countdown to cue point on the beat grid count at the top of the player, if you've set memory/cue points in the track. and I mean, yea you gotta press one button to access the other 4 cues, but I don't see that as a deal breaker. How often are you juggling 8 different cue points at the same time that you can't press a single button to switch between half of them?

    • @mariopandza
      @mariopandza 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      D-Squared Fair enough for the cue points, not juggling that often between all 8 cue points, but something I rely on is adjusting the pitch in +/- 1 increments to change the key (I'm using Traktor), I believe Serato has that as a pitch lock feature so that it automatically changes the pitch for you in case in differs from the track being played.

    • @happilyconfuseddog8951
      @happilyconfuseddog8951 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have downloaded the firmware from online and I need to update both players. I'm using rekordbox dj to perform from my laptop so don't need usbs. However, it seems as though the only way to update the firmware on the cdjs is to use a usb ?? hope you can help

The sacrifice is you'll only have 1 usb port left for music, but of course, on the NXS2's theres also the SD-slots to use.

Skins? how do u maintain them? /cleaning? whats the warranty cover? why didn't you demo scratching? whats the size dimensions? do u guys work for Pioneer? or Rekord box? are they having you guys get paid to promo their gear? so are we getting your "UNBIASED" opinion as professional D.J's? or is it that you guys are bought and paid for as Popular you-tube channel hosts that will get many views and therefore influence many so ya'll get PAID! to speak on this stuff without any con's it seemed like all PRO's and ZERO con's

    • @digitaldjtips
      @digitaldjtips  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Blimey, so many questions Bryan! No, they don't "run" any software, they work with Rekordbox libraries which need to be analysed on a laptop to unlock all the feature. that said they will work with Serato in HID or DVS set-ups, but you have to take your laptop along to do that.
      All prices are in the written reviews.

    They should really ship them with Digital Coax cables instead of RCA. i mean cmon. they're touting these as superior sound quality, keep the signal digital the whole way through to the DSP for best S/N ratio. You literally cannot clip the channels (not the master, the channels) when you have digital inputs due to the 32bit floating point D/A (literally, try it, the clip indicator lights will not light up no matter how much you go into the red with digital inputs, yes I know red is bad. just explaining a point). it's 2016 and they still ship with RCA

It works fine with non analyzed music files on a usb stick, but you get the same functionality as with CD's on a CDJ-1000Mk3. Kind of an expensive way... and Rekordbox is a free software you can download and use without owning any gear. Don't confuse Rekordbox with Rekordbox DJ. The later is a DJ software like Serato and Traktor and is NOT required for these players as they are stand alone gear. After you've analyzed your music in Rekordbox, you export your music to a USB-device that will bring all the digital functions to life. Or, you can connect you laptop to the same network (link) as the players and load the tracks directly from Rekordbox. In this case the laptop will work as a storage with a big screen.

So plasticky and cheap, they literally feel like toys and it's pathetic. For the ridiculous price they are I expected much more. Pioneer controllers are higher quality than these with far more heavy duty metal parts, when these are supposed to be the top of the range!!! I'm honestly shocked.

      If they were not, 2 years after the release of the NXS2's, Denon should be ashamed... Now with total shut downs and restarts, easily broken and very expensive and often out of stock cue/play buttons, first year of real life use are start to show what the new Denons really are worth from a pro user perspective. These were questions I asked Denon about at the release of the 5000/1800's and still got no answer. Now I know why, I guess . If you use the pads, the black color will be gone in a year or so. As a pro user, prepared to pay the extra, stability, reliability, service friendly and access to spare parts and qualified service partners are so much more important than any new function that may be there. I'll be happy to pay the Pioneer premium as long as they continue to be as reliable as they've been up until now, and I've owned almost all of them since the 500-series in '94. Still not even one error during a gig in all those years. Not with my own gear and not with any in the clubs, and some of hem have been really worn and battered, 8-9 years in the game. Still got through a 5 hour gig with no hickup's just last night on a pair of almost 10 years old CDJ-2000's, that also could handle my external SSD's with about 14000 RB analyzed tracks.
      So ''far ahead'' in terms of what... Go on their page and see how they handle their customers who did buy their last flag ships, the SC2900/3900's. Right, not there any longer, not even listed as legacy. Completely gone! No, firmware updates, no software downloads, no manuals, no nothing. Is that's how you treat existing customers, and future customers of used Denon gear??? No wonder the used value of Denon gear is second to none. To make things worse, those are players that were and still are very appreciated by a lot of DJ's, and they are just left hanging...

    I have a question on djing, as youll probably be able to tell by this question so im new to djing, so ill try and explain what i mean as clearly as possible. Basically, is there a way to hear the next song youre going to mix in only in the headphones im using without playing it outloud. Say for example i want to start a song half way through, like at the drop, taking out the verse and buildup. I was wondering if there is a way to do this and check through the headphones only? I know you can check on the visualiser thing, but is it possible to do this just in the headphones and how would you do this. I hope it makes sense :)

    • @digitaldjtips
      @digitaldjtips  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's a fairly similar process across most gear - you'll find these features on the mixer (or the mixer section of a controller).
      For the mixer that goes with this - the Pioneer DJ DJM-9000NX2, you'd do this using the Headphones section in the bottom left of the mixer, along with pressing Cue underneath whichever channel you're pre-listening/hearing in your headphones.
      Essentially the fader for that channel would be down with the cue button selected, and you could use the volume knob in the headphones section to hear the track without it being live. Once you raise the upfader for that channel, the track will be live.
      We go over the features for that mixer here: www.digitaldjtips.com/2016/03/review-video-pioneer-dj-djm-900nxs2-mixer/
