I agree with the quality however that doesn't make it better as DDJ-1000. Functions, jog wheels, effects, channels, etc are much more and better than RX2. Creativity is limited with RX2.

amit gupta, the anti laptop guy 😉

He surely does 🤣😂🤣😂

Bruh

Bruuuh..lol😅

I’m heeeeere!! Lol

Ricky Savage yesss I feel free!! Can’t wait to sell my tables to get this. Fast and easy!

They had an Rx1 at a club I played at last month, it's super tight. Popped my usb out of cdj 900s and straight into it no prob. I was considering getting it but I like to have 4 channels.

Ricky Savage dope!

Yep, but I can't Sample. Which means I have to prepare the songs in FL Studio before playing them.

Why not a DDJ1000 + 2 XDJ1000, basically same setup but with a controller attached to the mixer for a full 4 deck control for the same price granted you also use a laptop with it. But the mixer is a standalone unit as well with built in effects that are also on the 750MKII, also it can use DVS apparently

Very interesting choice. Thanks for your suggestion.

Mac Joseph Oh cmon everything cpu/chipset powered can crash and fail. Even cdjs can fail. Chances of them failing are quite slim but so are the laptops only if you use it for djing only.

I've had the rx1 fail on me... As well as I've had usbs corrupted when using cdjs. Laptop is yet to fail me.

Things can always go wrong when djing. Don’t think that just because you have the luxury of removing a laptop that makes you a better/real dj. Most djs have the absolute wrong attitude about using a laptop when djing. When you know your music it is an absolute benefit to have a laptop in your arsenal. Putting a screen on a cdj or a controller is the same thing, but actually utilizes less of the benefits of using a laptop.

Eugene Baek the laptop should be used but just know there is more maintenance. Virus, freeze and crashes. Rx2 is a fast set up. You are playing music in 30 secs!! But a computer has the advantage of downloading music online and using a midi for drum machines. Other than that computer isn’t stable enough to be my only source of music.

Daz Man true. But computers fail and being professional I can’t have that room for error. I love tables too but I can serve my crowd if the computer is acting up that day. The faster you can serve your customers the better

you do this with rekordbox settings!

If you don't want to be tied to a laptop than you should get the XDJ-RX2

They’re both the same bpm in the video..

youtube it, ellaskins did a tutorial on it. there is a setting somewhere in settings to do it

I haven't used any denon products, so I can't comment on how well it operates. But I would say the benefit of pioneer is the assurance that you have a quality controller. Pioneer are the leaders in digital Djing and most products not made by them are usually Inspired or copied. The prime 4 to me looks like a cheap copy of the rx2. As well as this, moving from the rx2 to club standard cdjs (which is almost always pioneer) maybe more intuitive, rather than from the denon, which will have a different build and interface. However, I can see how the denon maybe more tempting. The 4 channel mixer is what really sells it. I have an rx2 and would love to be able to plug my turntables into it and use it as a 4 channel set up. But for me the quality of the pioneer product is what puts it above other controllers.

Harvey Clinton depends on your choice of play, software or hardware. The 1000 is a controller but the rx is a full hardware unit with a built-in mixer.

@@KeremSZ_ yeah true. I guess ,for me, the functionality of the 1000 outweighs the fact that it requires less setup and the increased portability of the rx2. But to each to their own

I totally agree with you man. I mean almost 2000 dollars for a 2 deck controller? Just get a good laptop on which you can produce good shits and incorporate it in your sets while still having the choi ce to use any mixing software.

+Harvey Clinton In my Experience you shouldn't buy an DDJ 1000, because of it's lack of quality! There is one for sure, because of it's relativ low price. 4 Decks and upgraded Jogs for just 200$ more? (Compared to the DDJ RX) Where did Pioneer got that little price? Right, build quality! And I testet them in Germany at the Musikmesse Frankfurt at the Pioneer DJ Booth and was highly disappointed by the quality of the DDJ 1000. It's definitely NOT made for the road! So please get yourself an DDJ RX, an DDJ RZ or an XDJ RX, because these units don't have an issue with their quality! Cheers!

Yep

Some people are never happy. Typical things a DJ using Serato would say when they are scared to move over to Recordbox.

I would like to move over to rekordbox least it comes bundled with lower end pioneer controllers not like serato you get serato light.some of rekordbox controllers have the thumb drive option so you don't have to use a laptop.thats what like bout it.same ad the denon engine prime with the mcx8000

Buy a ddj-rzx if you want that...

ReboyGTR tap on the time

It’s switches on both.

ReboyGTR oh, ok :/

Lol must be a good unit since that's such a small gripe

If you hold shift on the deck you want to switch and hit the time remaining button it will change on only one deck. Works for auto hot cue as well

Go with the XDJ's if you have the money, I have a pair of XDJ-1000 (mk1) and they're amazing! I can't be so happy with them, also I have them paired with a DJM-850 and I honestly love my setup :)

Nope. Besides it wouldnt look good due to the screen size

Click the shortcut button (the one over the load to deck 2 button) then you can change the Waveform color

i wish

Pretty sure ur statement is wrong since u use bad terms. I feel like it had something to do with the processing of the wave vorms. But that's my assumption atleast :)

If you’re playing through your laptop you can

@@2sunami is this compatible with traktor ?

Brian Mccloskey. Not sure about that

Yes and no. Screens on 1000 are nowhere as detailed and no stand alone playback unless you buy external players. Great controller with a 750mk2 mixer built in for the price

Charles-André Richard what price do you expect?

@@si_monster7365 honestly i do not understand why you would buy this over the DDJ 1000. 400$ less, you got 4 decks, and all the features of the RX2. Who does not have a laptop anyway?

Charles-André Richard I have a laptop but it’s shit. I bought the rx2 for €1450 with a free case (the one at the beginning of the vid). So buying a better laptop and the ddj 1000 would make it more expensive for me. But I understand you, the ddj1000 has some better features and if you just want it for in your room with a laptop then the ddj 1000 is nice. But if you just want to insert your usb and start playing then I would say the rx2. It’s also easier at party’s and you get use to the menu of the cdjs. I think that it’s personal preference. If the rx2 didn’t exist I would have definitely bought the ddj1000

@@si_monster7365 I understand your point. However, I think investing in a good laptop and combining it with a controller is the way to go. Not only you can produce your own shit and incorporate it in your sets, but you can also use any mixing software you want. The Rx2 would have been perfect if it had 4 channels. With 2 decks its basically a 500$ controller with a screen. The DDJ 1000 also allows you to do B2B which I think is an awesome plus.

@@charles-andrerichard491 well to start off, is basically a nexus player with a djm 450 for the mixer. 1 cdj nexus2 is 2+ grand. Secondly I have a laptop thats powerful, but I use my rx2 in standalone because I prefer the display and how much more simple it is to find stuff so quickly. Also keeps my laptop free for livestreams or video recording without interference of dj software running

I couldn't agree more! Pathetic and overpriced. But all the stupid "club standard" fanboys still go for it.

Artur Pimentel the DDJ-1000 is a class unit, but you do need a laptop to run it.

@@rsrrecordings5583 Who don`t need a laptop nowadays? You use a laptop to download the music and share the music to a USB!

Another Serato guy complaining.

@@OneBadAssDJ nop am not a serato dj actually i hate serato . I mix in multiple ways but never used serato as serato is soooo poor app

Agree 👍
