Great video!

Thanks man, i was thinking to buy IT, but right now im gonna wait!

Very few DJ's use the RX2 to the full potential that it has, just like with the Pioneer club gear. Most DJ's don't change their way of playing with every new feature that comes along, especially not already established pro and semi pro DJ's. We tend to slowly embrace new features when we find out about them and when we find a place within our routines and workflow to implement them. Some pro DJ's I know who's been at the top of the food chain for many years don't even bother about new features at all. They do what they do manually and by ear, and use the skills obtained during decades of performing in front of people. Pioneer DJ knows this and they are very keen to keep us existing customers happy by not changing the layout too much, which means that new features introduced are a bit limited but very well incorporated in the existing design. That also means that waiting for the next version upgrade or new model becomes unnessecary. If you know there's a new model around the corner you can wait for it. If not, get a used one while you wait for the next gen, and when it's time for an upgrade you will probably get most, if not all, your money back to use for your next purchase. That's how good Pioneer DJ gear holds its value as long as the gear is well maintained. Even if the XDJ series is not considered as Pioneer Pro gear, it's absolutely good enough for any DJ to have for personal use at home, and for the occasional gig where you bring your own gear. Personally I'm coming from stand alone gear only, all the way back to the 80's and my Technics 1200's and over the following decades, cd-players and media players up until know with my NXS2 gear, and I was very skeptical to use these ''budget'' units at first, most because of the single screen and the capacitive jog wheels, but after using one for an hour or so, I was really impressed how close to the pro gear it actually is. If the 4 channel version had existed when I got my NXS2 setup, it would have saved me $4000. I really do like my NXS2 setup, but if I could have had the XDJ-XZ, AND keep $4000, it would have been a very easy choice to make.

Just bought a used XDJ-RX2 last week, im gonna be returning it in the hope of a stand alone 4 channel from Pioneer in the summer. Good video ty.

great video, thank you... needed this very much! say you've selected one track to play from say USB 1 > folder > track 01... once the track has finished, will it automatically go to play the next track (02) in the folder or not?

Very helpful. First time using and buying a controller. Dj'd with vinyl and cds for 15yrs. Was debating between rx2 and xz seems rx is sufficient for home set-up. is this compatible with laptop and serato for back-up incase usb fail?

I just got one a few weeks ago, I love it! Sound quality is miles away from my DDJ-SX2 on Serato. Only issue I'm having now is recording my mixes more that 30 minutes smh. My 120gb USB drive started blinking after about 30 minutes of recording, not sure what that's all about....

Thanks for the Video Karl. RX3 is already here. Got the RX 2 on eBay for a killer price for an open box, hope all is well. really excited to move from DDJ 400. What can I expect?

Brother, you can connect additional things through aux inputs, yes, you don't get a proper EQ and a channel but still, you can do something with those 2 additional inputs and I've seen people connecting cdjs or turntables! Cheers!

I’m so having the RX3 when it’s launched 😎🎧👍🏻

I've owned my RX2 for a year and I love it, I've only recorded a few mixes on it, but it's still great. I kinda wish I got the XZ, but you can't use all 4 decks in standalone anyway so it doesn't matter.

Pioneer Rx2 vs Denon Prime 2? I bought the prime and I'm trying it out. But I'm wondering if it's honestly worth buying or exchanging for a 4 year old unit.

Just switched from a traktor controller to this board in hopes it will help prepare me for the cdj 2000 nexus that my local club uses. Did I make a good move getting this to help practice on so I can get used to rekord box and what not?

The reason why the waveform jitters is due to the weak processor PDJ uses. The refresh rate can't keep up with the two scrolling waveforms. The same thing happens to the RX and the XZ. If you compare the release timeframe, the original XDJ-R1 was released on June 2013, the RX Feb 2015, the RX2 Sept 2017, the RR sept 2018 (which was basically a scaled down version of the RX2 and took cues from the original RX) and the XZ was Nov 2019. So theres roughly a 2 year time gap when it comes down to the "ALL IN ONE" DJ systems from PDJ. I personally do not believe the RX2 will be refreshed this year due to the XZ being released not that long ago. COVID caused a big issue on inventory/supply that did not start picking up sales/delivery until mid-late last year. Fast forward to now, it's still a solid seller. If anything, they will probably release a new "XDJ" media player variant of the new 3000 (same size, new LCD, updated processor but still keeping in time with the XDJ media players, most of the transport controls shifted to the touch screen like the 1000MK2/XDJ700). Just watched a video a couple days ago with product specialist Jeroen Groenendijk and even he stated that the 900NXS2 (which was first released back in 2016) will more or less not get refreshed yet as well.

Great ❤️ I just bought my new toy RX2 and now i have DDJ RX and RX2 and i just moved from serato to rekordbox 👁️👁️ Your controller Made In My Country Malaysia 🇲🇾✔️

🖤

This or 2 xdj 700s? Currently own a Allen and heath xone 92 and 2 cdj 1000s plus 2 technics 1210s. Just getting back into it and really want MP3. Any advice much appreciated. Cheers.

When do you think Rx3 will be coming?

Several online and brik/stone stores already mark the Pioneer RX2 as discontinued and can no longer be ordered.

Hey carl

Does it play WAV FLAC etc ?

New Pioneer Rx3 Is coming!

You are talking about an upgrade version. This will most likely be the Xdj - Rx3. Either this console will be a 4 channel mixer, with a screen as large as the Denon dj prime 4, + also become it's opponent in the race.. or would it stay with a 2 channel mixer system ?

Sample pads ?

please for opinion which is better, Pioneer ddj 1000 or xdj rx2

Il 9 Novembre Pioneer annuncerà la nuova RX3 stay united!

xdj rx3 does not have key sync. I would only update to the rx3 if it had key sync

For me in Gemany a RX1 costs ~900€ used. A RX2 can be had for 1100€ used and the new RX3 costs 2000€. Then there is also the option of two XDJ700 paired with a DJM250mk2 or DJM450 which is pretty hard to get right now. I have seen offers from 1500€ ranging all the way up to 3500€. For me as a ish-beginner, which one would you buy? Im currently using a DDJ RR Controller. My goal is to eventually play in clubs and here they all have pioneer cdj setups. Thererfore going standalone and getting closer to the club standart is very important to me.

What about the xdj zx?

hi Ross from friends hahahah
