I said this on another channel but.... 4 decks of Denon Sc6000 = £2500, 4 decks of Cdj3000 = £8800

These players with their overall functionality and screens could be such a great product in 2017 But in september 2020 they already look and feel old

end of the CDJ era for me. Denon is the new King!

So many people commenting on their dissatisfaction of the cdj3000 and of pioneer in general. People saying it's too little too late etc. What is it that you really need? Are all these functions that you're so upset aren't included really functions that you would use and need? I'm not a massively complex DJ, so maybe I don't need the functionality that is apparently missing here. They look awesome. Yes they are very expensive, but this isn't really aimed at bedroom djs. There are loads of controllers in the range from the ddj 400 through the all in one xdjxz. The Denon fans are so quick to scrap anything pioneer releases, and it's just the same as the age old Mac Vs PC debate. If you like the Denon more, great! If you like pioneer more, great. The truth is that these will be in all decent clubs (or at least the vast majority) and Denon will not be the club standard in the foreseeable future. That is the main reason why I won't be shifting to denon and investing in the whole engine ecosystem any time soon but I will never say never!. Thanks for the in depth review Phil. But what an unfortunate time to release this unit!

Hey Phil. I think this is one of your best reviews. On point and a really good and detailed explanations of the new features. ...must've been hard to keep a straight face these last few days with all the speculations :) .

"nothing rattles" That's because there's nothing inside apart from a computer and a cog. That price is insane!

Denon, ahead ! I’ll stick with my pioneer cdj350’s, basic but still going strong👍

Good review guys! I personally feel they are an improvement to the cdj lineup but could still be improved, Pioneers hardware seems to always go the distance without issues! I’ve been fortunate enough to have both but for now Denon is my weapon of choice. People will buy what appeals to them, good to see both companies switching it up🤙

Its 2AM here & im looking at this.. lolz

I commented on a video a few days back saying "I don't think they will come close to what Denon have brought out lately" I think I was right. It still ain't enough.

MPU which can't analyze on the fly, requested years ago already. Memory buffer which is still so small that I can only do an 4-beat emergency loop. No multi-touch. Basic flaws, just to remind we are not talking about lack of Wifi, Dual Deck or Performance Pads solely.

That was this kind of proper review i was waiting for !

man we waited for this for years. denon is way ahead of you guys now. time to sell my cdj2000 and move on

No internet connection and no online streaming built-in?? come on guys it is 2020 :D

another excellent and detailed review, thanks Phil. i'm completely with you here. these are really good within the realistic amount of change a market leader can make with their flaship product. you simply can't tear up the rulebook if you have 90% of the market, due to the potential risk of alienating your core audience. great additions - key sync!!!!, the processor, 8 hot cues!!! (not 100% sold on the positioning, but i can see the argument for taking them away from the palm rest area), and of course the screen. also, shifting a lot of useful functionality to hardware buttons is also a massive plus i also agree that some of the stuff that's 'missing' seems certain to be introduced at some point through updates, so i won't be getting too worried about that. i do hate these tedious dennoners vs pioneers arguments, but i know why we have them. both are really great devices, incorporating many of the great things controllers have brought us in recent years. the important thing from this launch is that if i owned a club and needed to update, i'd feel in safe territory to stay within pioneer's infrastructure. it may feel lame to some, but pioneer appear to have done 'enough' with the 3000's. probably more than enough really. if it was a completely level playing field with all clubs starting from scratch, maybe dennon has the slightly better offer, but that's not the reality.

After months of doubting if I should switch back to Pioneer, I finally decided to buy the CDJ 3000’s this week. I only have one big regret now: wish I had pulled the trigger on them immediately when they came out! Man, these things are absolutely amazing!!! What a superb quality and what a great joy to play one these beasts. I feel that playing on these is so much more intuitive and effortless than my on my Denon’s that I not only enjoy DJ even more, but I immediately feel I can fully concentrate on the music. Yes, it’s a lot of money, but in terms of price/quality ratio it makes complete sense to me (maybe also because I’m not at all interested in the features it is missing and everyone seems to be complaining about like WiFi, dual layers, steaming, etc).

I can't wait for the comparison videos with Denondj and pioneer

On the Denon's, I'm sure you can move a active loop forwards or backwards by holding down shift with the encoder, and the length of the move is the same size as the loop.

I switched from Pioneer to Traktor and I’m happy I did.

They basically added just enough to stop people from switching to Denon. Quite a shame really, I am baffled that it can't even analyze tracks on its own.

I can't see much of an advantage on this over the Denon players even the SC5000's which i have. Lack of dual layer is also quite disappointing. It'll be interesting to see how this develops with things like dual layer and streaming. For the money it's just not great value buy one get one free on Denon. These are designed to be in clubs and festivals but i hope Denon starts making inroads as Pioneer just aren't doing it.... it's a rehash of what they've done. You can have a decent mixer and 2 Denon players as a bedroom DJ.... go laidback Luke!

I'd still like to see 2 decimal places on the bpm display but other than that I'm very happy

ITT: a lot of people who don't DJ outside the house screaming about how great Denon is. Holy shit: good luck with those club gigs with Denon CDJs that totally, acttually exist irl.

The XDJ-XZ desperately needs that screen!

Nice, detailed review Phil! Thank you.

I'll wait til COVID is over to see how this does in its target market (clubs and festivals). I have started to see more Denon setups. Obviously, they're not the norm, but their growth in this market cannot be ignored.

LOL.. 6 of these will be playing loops at festivals soon

Releasing a club standard player when their are no clubs open and no club DJs earning money might not be a great idea.

I start by saying that I have no intention of offending my dj mates in any way, but no matter how great a DJ you are, when you mix on a big stage at a festival or any major event, the pressure felt and the emotions are enormous. In these conditions, you want to have absolute control over the setup in front of you! Once you've touched the display at one point, you don't want a slide of another finger on the screen to be taken into account by mistake. The required pressure on the Pioneer screen is also meant to prevent accidental touches. You don't want to hit a hot cue and realize the pads were in a different mode. You don't really want to have several functions on a button and have to think about which function you are in so you don't do something wrong, you want to perform... You don't want to realize that you were in another layer of the player when you stop a deck or press a cue point! Mixing on stage at a festival is completely different from mixing at a party or a wedding. James Hype, Tiesto, or any big DJ doesn't come to download his playlist from beatport. Try to imagine if you see James Hype mixing on 4 players with only 2 players in front of him in dual layer mode? DJs who mix on 4 or 6 players want to have 4-6 players in front. Total control. Not to mention that they want to be seen mixing on 4 players, give a better picture for the fans! And another important aspect is that the mixer from Denon does not even compare with the mixer from Pioneer! Two aspects in the effects section: 1 - With Pioneer you have the list of effects exposed and it is very easy to select the desired effect, while with Denon you have an encoder and you have to memorize the list to know where the desired effect is to know if you are going left or right with the encoder. Then you have to press it to select the effect. A lot of wasted time. You have to think well in advance when you want to change the effect because otherwise you lose the moment when you have to apply it. In addition, you also have to prepare the following songs, to interact with the crowd, etc. You're doing a show! 2 - Denon's FX frequency is a potentiometer that you have to adjust and that you won't be able to set the same way every time, compared to Pioneer's band selection buttons. Things that matter under the pressure of the atmosphere of a major event! And how you can't synchronize the Denon players with the Pioneer mixer... The mentality behind these players and the mixer from Pioneer is completely different from the one behind the controllers, and the setups for scratch djs. In the last 20+ years, I have mixed both at festivals and other major events and as a mobile DJ. I don't want to go with my mobile DJ setup to a festival, nor to a party or a wedding with a setup of 4 players and a mixer. It is important to know your needs and choose the equipment that serves your purpose. Neither the SC6000 nor the CDJ3000 are better or worse. They serve close but different purposes. That's why currently Denon will not take Pioneer's place on the big stages, at major events and big clubs! If you aspire to be a DJ on a big stage, it would be good to master the Pioneer ecosystem. If you go with your setup to events, choose what you like, you can afford and it serves your purpose, what's the importance of which one is better if it doesn't do what you need? I hope I didn't upset anyone! All the best!

3:08 Phil hit the mark because that's exactly why I like the new hot cue placement

Maybe I'm the only fan of the retro spinning LEDs on CJDs? I just don't like DDJ-1000 screens. It looks like you took a cheap phone screen and tried to make it look round by masking off part - which is exactly what the DDJ-1000 screens are. These look better, but... they're still emulating that screen look. I hope I can turn off that blue stripe which does nothing but indicate it's in vinyl mode... and maybe even turn off artwork and have a more interesting spinny graphic.

everyone: "stop looking at a laptop screen on stage" Pioneer: *puts the laptop screen in the deck itself*

So happy I purchased my Denon SC6000M's. Originally I was wondering if I had done the right thing as Pioneer made their announcement one day after I received my equipment but oh my does it look like I've made the right choice here. I'm not a fan boy as I didn't own either Pionner or Denon equipment up until recently, yes I'm likely biased because I'm now a Denon user but hear me out. I'm a bedroom DJ, I won't be playing at venues and I certainly appreciate that users who do will absolutely love this new Pionner equipment as it's a step up and I think these units are for those users. I'm definitely surprised that many features are lacking and you'd like to think some of these things will come as a software update but wait a minute.... 1) There doesn't appear to be a WiFi card in these units. Their integration to services such as Beatport require you to use your PC and RB and link RB to these services. That's what they are officially advertising and I don't see on the product sheet that it has any WiFi card. Waiting to be proved wrong here. 2) No dual layer and even if they add it in a software update (which they aren't likely to do given their standpoint), you'd need to sacrifice something to get it because Denons have a physical layer button. 3) No on board analysis. Really? You have these fancy CPU's inside with all that power. You'd like to think this will be implemented in a future update. 4) No multi gesture - so you add this nice new big screen to look at things but come on, it's 2020. Even a 10 year old Android tablet has this, let alone some DJ equipment worth ££££'s (for those of you who are getting this equipment, hope the screen is capable of it so it comes in a future software update). 5) No cloud locker - this will likely come in a future software update, but you still won't have it currently. 6) Can't make playlists - what? I have all that screen to use...why not? Oh wait...future software update...hopefully....maybe... 7) Motorised platter option? Oh, no. A screen in the middle of the jog wheels to display info that's already on that huge screen in front of your eyes is far more important...great. I mean even if you don't want a motorised platter, do people really look at these tiny screens when you now have such massive screen estate? Maybe when the main displays were smaller but come on...but but they have better resolution and stuff! ... What am I missing here? :) 8) Plastic buttons. Plastic screen. Plastic. Imagine if Apple used plastic buttons on their flagship devices and claimed "this is what people want in their expensive equipment". Doesn't add up but what do I know eh. Sure rubber is hardly premium such as metal but you got your plastic, guys. I mean yeah, if you're a CDJ2000 user and want the best Pioneer has to offer then sure, go grab these I'm sure you won't be disappointed, especially if you play in all these venues like James Hype and they actually start providing some missing features through software. I've said all along, if you get the hardware right and the software can be constantly updated, you can't go wrong as it's future proof. Problem is, I'm not sure the hardware is right here (I'm sure others will disagree but each to their own). Let's not mention the price for this equipment either right. Overall: 6/10. (7/10 if you're an existing CDJ user). Cheers - just remember these are my opinions, I'm sure some will be upset by it and some will agree with it, that's just the nature of it but wanted to chuck my pennies worth in.

When I got my Denons I found out they had WiFi a year before they announced it by reading the instruction manual, and in it there was a warning that the device produced radiowaves, so if it says that in the manual, they likely have WiFi on board.

Beat Jump buttons are a nice touch

Great review, Phil! I think the sound quality comment was incorrect. If Pioneer implemented "the best D/A converters" in these players, why did you connect them via digital link? That way, you clearly bypassed those converters. Also, great sound regardless how much you speed up or down tracks has nothing to do with the D/A converters, but rather to do with the software, which indeed sounded awesome! Keep up the good work - you rock!

I barely knew how to use CDJ-2000 NXS2, and got these to both be able to throw parties after the pandemic, but also to finally be able to practice and establish cue points naturally. I got the 3000s and immediately started using them on my Twitch streams, figuring I'd RTFM later, well this video filled in the gaps. I'm satisfied with the new 3000s, and have Traktor and real pads for when I want to get fancy.

I would love some focus on the ability to resist water damage. Sooo many clubs are having problems with spilled drinks from gusts. This is by far a what damages players more than buttons get worn out. Even small droplets has caused major problems while playing. That said the CDJ 3000 looks promising, and I look forward to use it.

As a dj who just does it has a hobby fir shits n giggles. Pioneer fan boys will love these. What seen over the years of dj products coming out denon have hit it on thw head with there media players and controller then two new controllers and new media players with wife streaming hard drive bays for music storage. Seems more innovative as the way you dj moved on. As phil said in one of his videos turn up swith on log in rock out.

Thank you very much for the review Phil. I’m not surprised about the price since it’s pioneer. Some of the missing features can be done thru future updates. I don’t like where they placed the hot cue buttons. For the money/features and Engine getting better, I rather go for denon players.

sc6000 still twice the player that one is, not only in model number but literally.

Thoroughly enjoyed the review! I would love to give these a go myself however, the cost of the pair of CDJs, along with the mixer is very expensive.

Love the song preview.

Before, on the left side of the CDJ, you would press USB button to select your USB and then press the Link button on the other CDJ(s) to have the whole system use that USB. I notice that's gone now. How does that work here? You just tap the top where it says USB and select which USB the CDJ's are reading?

Is there a new version of the CDJ3000 coming out anytime soon? I’m going to buy these now if not.

No analyzing in the deck...no Beatport Link, Tidal or Soundclowd streaming ???

9:45 they do have a mixer with the hub built in the back, djm 2000

INCREDIBLE VIDEO ! Thank You 🙏🙏🙏

one nice feature not mentioned is that when you adjust the sensitivity of the job wheel, it actually adjusts the tension as well, so if you make the wheel less sensitive, it actually becomes physically tougher to change the tempo.

I literally just got a pair of CDJ 2000 NX2s last month and after watching this video I'm glad I just went w/ the NX2s instead of waiting for these. It's funny, my whole intention w/ investing in some CDJs after being a working blue collar open format DJ that primarily DJs events at bars w/ Turntable setups [hip hop DJs w/ serato mixers] or corporate/wedding gigs w/ a S4 MK1 set up, is that I wanted to move AWAY from using a laptop. Now the screens keep getting bigger and it's starting to look even more like a computer LOL. I also agree w/ someone's comment down below w/ how the cue point location makes NO SENSE for those of us who use Cue Points to creatively mix. And they made the buttons even SMALLER!? That's weird and unfortunate. Adding the beat jump buttons is whatever since it was a function that was easy to find on the touch screens on the NX2s/XDJs. But taking away the Break knob and combining it w/ the start knob isn't my vibe or anyone that I know that likes to use their CDJs/XDJs like turntables. My favorite thing about having those two knobs is that you can get really creative w/ mixing your tracks like how I would use my Techniques turntables. Preview function is cool, but equally if not even more important than the preview function is how fast will these players load up the tracks. I'm having issues w/ my NX2s not loading up tracks fast enough and it's a pain for when I DJ Jungle / Drum & Bass music and want to do a double drop. [One of the things I miss from DJing w/ a laptop + program] Overall it is what it is. I was going to say I look forward to using these at a DJ gig, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon in this year or next =/.

Okay! lets talk truth ladies & gentleman: Im not a Pioneer Fanboy neither an Denon Fanboy. Im a Fan of great products! So the main reason why the new CDJ look as they look and is what it is and the Denon SC6000 is what it is is that: Pioneer is now run by a group of "profit only" investors and they have a clear message: "minimal risk, maximum margin" - put in the cheapest stable working parts you can find on the market to do do the most minimal upgrade that users might accept possible and sell it to the maximum price possible - thats the new core of pioneer brand and the strategy. a group of investors that try to squeeze out the brand like a lemon and sell it before its totally done. Inmusic is driven by an absolute musical enthusiast who aims to simply deliver the greatest most innovative product possible at a fair price! - margin is important - but its not that "max margin" is the main priority. the priority is the happy client! and to bound clients in long term to the insmusic world. And that is exactly why we see what we see here: old tech at an pricepoint which is basically a fraud. and what me really really really makes sad is that Digital DJ Tips is not honest enough to name the facts and try to jump right on the marketing train of pioneer with that "made for festival DJs, clubs and installations" - yes of course! This is what pioneer wants!!!! but who decides which player will stand in a club or in a installation or at a festival: The User!!!! Not Pioneer!!! and to say they aim different markets ist just pure lie!!!!! they both aim exactly the same market with their product portofolio and that is the full range from beginners to Pros and top level DJs! By saying that the CDJ3000 "should" be The festival player its just a bad try to reasoning this absolutely moonprice for old tech! Its the bussines mentality of pioneer nowadays that makes this a bad player for the price and not what the company could do if they wanted and would get the budget they once got when they have been an innovative and groundbreaking company. who says Denon is not for Clubs, Installations or Festivals? They simply have the better gear! And you can even put Rekordbox Sticks into it and play right out of the box! But ofc also Denon has weaknesses - as Engine DJ ist right now just not there where it should be. But if we see the evolution Speed of Denon in the last 2 years - man, that wont last for long. Just be honest and name it as it is: this product at THIS price is a fraud and everybody who buys one of these is supporting the cheating of that investor driven company. Pioneer has lost its soul and passion as a brand. really everywhere i hear this mantra with "pioneer says this is for clubs and festivals blablabla and thats why it has this pricetag".... wow man really? and all this reviewers just take this explanation as given? and even go further take away Denons Approach of that part of the market by saying pioneer aims it and Denon not? Sorry thats not fair and not objective. Also the Apple comparison doesnt work. As the Apple Strategy always was and is: deliver the best product on the market with the newest tech and THEN add an crazy amount of money just to show you are apple and underline you are the premium. But here its totally different: here its like Apple would release a phone with 50% less power and 50% less functions then a Xiaomi Mid Level Phone but still say: Hey we are Pioneer and this is the best phone in the world and as we are just luxury product we charge this money. or If Mercedes would produce a Kia in Mercedes Shape and sell it as an S-Class. If Apple would deliver products which are by performance just 50% of what Samsung would do - Apple would loose its marketing position within some years. And man im really happy that most people are not that stupid - as whatever any YT Video or a marketing campaign will say - most people are not stupid and thats why - i tell you today remember my words: pioneer will go down and loose the Number 1 Spot within the next 5 years. Selling tricks just work short term. But people learn and see themselve in long term where is the better product when the marketing effect is gone. The Pioneer players would have been nice players as they are now if they would have been released 3-4 years ago. But now its just outdated tech sold in a fraud to fool people. My honest oppinion is just that this price goes a big step too far what would be fair to say just "well its cause its pioneer and thats why its the best and thats why it´s worth it" I want to thank pioneer and the old owners for great 20 years of DJ Culture and Innovations same as 1980-2010 was technics legends time which also now slowly went down within the last 10 years cause of lack of innovation and development of the brand and products - pioneer was THE brand to go 2000-2020 and brought DJing to a whole new level. But as we all know: In the moment you stop to getting better you stop to be good. And that´s why Pioneer DJs No.1 Market Position sooner then later will be history. remember my words! 5 years maximum and its done. And no Fanboy or Marketingphrase nor one sided KZfaq Videos like this one repeating this marketing phrases can change evolution or manipulate the majority of the users in long therm. I think the onyl Chance for Pioneer is a new owner with a different approach: Where the user is number one again and profit just the second priority. If not Pioneer will end as Nokia 2.0 Thanks folks for reading! Im out!

Phil "We'll get to that later" Morse 😂

yeah not sure I'm a fan of the new cdj's. Honestly, not much had to be improved. a couple things here and there. Mabey where the hot cue buttons are, those could be pads used for other things. Honestly, it kind of looks like a downgrade

My controller is Pioneer’s rival, Hercules Impulse-500! That’s a great controller as well, especially for beginner and intermediate level DJs like me.

Excellent review. Thanks

pioneer cdj 3000 = 2400 € denon sc6000 = 1400 € and there is way beter screens inputs and outputs and features so........ denon wins 🙂 💯%

I have a much better appreciation of these decks abilities after watching this concise in depth review. Great job @digitaldjtips Really looking forward to seeing how they utilize the MPU with software/feature set upgrades soon

Something came up in the sound quality portion that may be an issue. It was in reference to the high quality dac chips that are supposed to be in this unit. If I'm not mistaken, when you use these players with the matching Pioneer mixer, the connection is digital. That means you bypass the entire dac portion of the unit, and its just a transport. You're spending a lot of money on something that is not going to be used. Its kind of like what the Rane 12 is, or how Denon released the controller only section of their media players. So, if you are going with an all Pioneer system, you end up spending a lot of money on things that won't be used. I'm pretty sure I'm right about this, but if I'm wrong, someone please correct me. If I happen to be right, maybe Pioneer is coming out with a transport only version of this unit?

This review feels like it was made two years ago. None of the features that was presented are new in 2020.

Hi Phil, seems to me that they forgot that hot cues are quite important when you are performing... I´ve realIzed how good is my DDJ1000.

The vinyl start knob, IMO, was cool when used as an effect. I would stop the track slowly, maybe talk on the microphone, then start again with a slow start effect which is kinda cool

Good review. Definitely an improvement over the old one. But still don't see the justification for the insane price. Especially given the lack of innovative features.

another over priced product from pioneer dj to take your money...its a shame..good news is that i am so glad that i went for the denon SC6000..with my 2 denon SC6000 i could play 4 decks in the same time and like 50 more features

it have the right things that were needed for live sets... a better bright screen for day gigs, better overall screen, better audio quality and the waveforms overlaped, then all the other things are just for people buying it at home, but not usefull for big set ups in parties. I think it will remain as standard for many years.

Looking forward to taking these for a spin. Just need some gigs now! 🤨

It's like Pioneer read my mind. I have to be the total average DJ of all the DJ's they've asked for inputs. At 52, I really didn't think there would be something else I would want to get after I got my NXS2 setup, but I've changed my mind. Time to start saving.

A monumental day in DJing, the CDJ 3000 is here baby, thanks for the review!

I like pioneer and I'm using the NXS2, however I don't see any reason why I should switch to these CDJ or XDJ3000? Screen is bigger? no, 4 and 8 Beat Loop? no! could Pioneer let us know what is really innovative here?

How can the cdj3000 be a duel player in future updates when there's only one set of outputs on the back?

I,ve used CDJS pioneer CDJS,,amazing stuff, hopefully ,buying professional gear after June hoilday .

cheers for the fantastic review Phil + team. It'll take a couple of years before we start seeing these in clubs, the lack of dual deck is pretty frustrating. I guess now we just wait for a 4chan standalone unit from pioneer, it's a massive gap in their offerings.

thank you very much for this, to confirm... changing the key display from regular to camelot needs to be done in the rekord box software right?

Obviously not as good as the Denon, BUT Pioneer still dominated DJ booths with the 2000 and these are a great improvement over those so they'll undoubtedly become industry standard. I'd rather use a 2000 over a Prime any day just because of how it feels and responds, so I'm happy with this upgrade

Did he review 'Source' button or how to use usb drive & link mode Or i just missed it? Can anyone help me out?

The reason this will probably succeed is because Pioneer Sponsored DJ’s will receive these quick sharp as will the worlds top clubs (and also clubs where owners don’t have a cost barrier). Will that drag along other DJs and clubs for the journey? Time will tell. Is the Pioneer CDJ-3000 mk2 already in the making with the improvements Phil wants to see included?

Have they added anything on the software side that you said the unit was missing at the end of this video, now 3 years later? I am curious

could have done more with that jogwheel display. Is it the ssx3 that allows you to display your own logo? i find that comforting, wish they led with that in this unit and used that album artwork memory for something else

Using CDJ3000 in HID mode, is there a way to control or use the performance pads ?

28:00 - The feature of previewing the track while sliding through it is really awesome. I hope something like that come up soon on the Prime Series updates.

Will you order soon or just recently ordered a CDJ3000 or a SC6000? If yes so - which one did/will you buy?

You are damn good, thanks!!!

fantastic

My DJ name is Barry G I've been using Pioneer equipment for over 10 years I've recently switch to Denon I think Pioneer have done what they need to do do the only thing I don't agree with is the cost compared with the Denons I had a set of of Nexus 2000 2 and I thought for a leading company the paneer in Nexus 2 was very sluggish for the money what you had to pay for them Denon DJ thumbs up for bringing out a product what is priced fairly unlike pioneer so thumbs down to Pioneer I've got a sc6000 very happy I sold my Nexus 2s and got changed back from buying a full setup of Denon prime sc6000 and 1850 mixer now that is value

Hey.. setup has just arrived today, however the link cue headphones is turned on but when I tap on the preview of a song, it doesn’t play through my headphones? Any help with this please

Hi where can I get more information on the proper key mixing you mentioned in the video? I have learned the 4 key option way of mixing, how would you find out what the other 2 keys you can mix into are?

Just to push back on your comment that "speed adjust" is NOT NEEDED, that the track should start the instand the button is pushed would imply that Pioneer shouldn't have added the adjustment dial to begin with. Clearly Pioneer is honoring the old school OG's who leanred on vinyl and find comfort in the replication of a classic MKII. To snark it off as not relevant would be a sad day in the digital market.

No wifi. Can't analyze on the deck? So, lipstick on a 🐖?

Just got the CDJ 3000s. In controller mode I don’t have 2nd deck stacked waveform. Do you know how to turn them on? Also, I can’t pinpoint the cue to where I want it. Everytime I try to set a cue it defaults it to the nearest point. Please help. Thanks.

i have a suggestion, hopefully pioneer hears me. make it so that when i put in my USB, the deck reads my settings, ie, brightness, and whatever, just automatically adjust to how i usually play without having to go in and change all the settings. thanks

Hi Phil, do you think we'll see an XZ2 or other standalone with these improvements in the near future or will Pioneer take their sweet time and make us wait?

they finally dumped the cd slot .About time.Some djs will not be pleased but i am very pleased

I'm not gonna lie. I like it.

One thing that I'll mention, wifi isn't something that can be "coded in" it would require specific hardware, it's unlikely that wireless will be in like dennon as if you had that chip on the hardware you'd want it working from initial sale and I feel it's posible that they will become wired but they may do what they usually do and cop out by saying you could just use computer hooked up to the network running rekordbox to do that

Denon Beat Jump works the same check out Crossfaders review of sc6000

Is this the best they can do after how many years, awful placement of hotcues and too small, still the clunky looping. I really hope clubs start switching to Denon

I like the unboxing and instructions by this dude, but I feel that pioneer just brought something out which is so 2007. 💁‍♂️

Well, I like the bigger screen. Being able to see artist and title at once, and more tracks at once. I like the waveform preview a lot. and great.. The display isn't choppy like an 80s computer anymore. Big deal... It still doesn't justify the price I think. Would I like to have a set.. sure! But not high on my list atm. I would probably try a Denon first and see how that feels before I buy this

Good insight, thanks Phil Wish I could justify upgrading CDJ2000s...$$$$$ Nice to see more columns available on the screen. More columns available to pick, as you mentioned, would be desirable Based on the 5 digits on track count, does that mean 99999 tracks now allowed to export in a playlist? Traktor HID mode supported? Was so frustrating XDJs took forever to be supported in HID @21:48 Looks like it's only picking 1&2 up/down numeric as per camelot, not the +/-7 semitone? Would love to move the waveform playing marker to the left a bit...preferring to see more upcoming on track than gone (as in Traktor) @29 the live preview ahead wasn't playing in the headphones though? Screen marker stayed still. Love the idea, hope it works as described.

I Know I'm old...but a Cdj player without a cd player?
