I think its a good thing when all the info is smashed on 1 screen. It still includes all the same info of both tracks and you don't have to jump between 2 screens to get the info you want. just 1 screen = all info. xz is the best thing pioneer has ever made I feel.

You have no idea how helpful this was

soy de habla hispana y me costo mucho encontrar este video, me ha servido un monton, gracias

I like that the XDJ XZ is virtually what is described in this video; a nxs2 club standard setup. For that reason I am going to get me one.

Man this is very helpful... you have no idea, thank you!

Thank you. Very useful video.

the new CDJs are a kick in the face for actual CD DJs, since it's not an actual cd player. I'm glad they have the all in one units, but the club standard gear is kind of impractical. Sure it might be nice to own, but it's so nice having one thing that does it all. (the standalones do double as just straight up mixers too)

valuable content, thanks.

Dude this reviews was precisely what i'm looking for

This was really useful thank you. Tempted to sell my Traktor S4 and replace with one of these!

Good recession 👌what quality sounds xz vs nexus 900nx2 cdj 2000nx2

I bought djm 750 mk2 I have older cdj players at home and vinly player... But this one piece set up saving money for sure

This thing is a beast! A few months ago I was very confused between getting a DDJ or an XDJ. My problem is that I couldn't decide which controller nor which All-In-One I wanted/needed. (ddj800 vs ddj1000 vs XDJ-RX2 vs XDJ-XZ). I understood quickly that the XZ was the way to go in terms of an all in one. In the vontroller side it was much more difficult. I'm a mobile Dj and I do weddings most of the time, so I only use 2 channels to mix. But the ddj1000 really seems as a better tool in general. I finally decided I needed the DDJ 800 and wanted the XDJ-XZ. I didn't went for the RX2 because it doesn't give me the master EQ nor the independent 3 band EQ on mics (plus the other 2 channels available and the on jog displays). And I didn't went for the ddj 1000 because it only gave me 1 more channel (800 has an aux channel), bigger jogs (which i dont mind since I have played alwas with a ddj sx) and a second USB that seems to be the best feature it gains, but I can throw in an anolg mixer and make the other Dj arive with his controller. I think it is a long comment and a very useless one for most other Djs and enthusiasts, but I wanted to share my choice and this video seemed like the best place to do it. P.D. I already bought my DDJ 800, but this fu***ng virus and the harsh times I am going through stopped me from buying the XZ (for now).

How about the sound card of both? How’s the sound quality on them compared? I have an xz but have never played with a Cdj system

agree in 2023..who plays CD's.. makes sense that now there's no CD slot in the 3000. crazy how expensive the xz is now... its 2500 to 3000. Compared to 2000 USD, that more or less it was in 3 years ago at least in your country at the time of this video.

Love your vids man. Never feels like you're trying to sell me something. More like hanging out with a a guy who's on the front lines and knows his stuff. Been spinning in circles for weeks now trying to decide what set-up I need to move on to, after the 2 turntables, Serato SL1 and DJM-300 have finally gone to the cemetery. These have been super helpful

I had the Nexus 2 CDJs and mixer, along with the RX2 with a case for mobile gigs, but I "upgraded" to the XZ for an all in one home and mobile system ☺️

Just got the xz and love it but I wanted the Cdj 3000 so bought that also now them 2 paired up together is a beast Of a setup 3 decks plus my DJS 1000 I’m good for a while now oooh and excellent video very informational thank you 🙏🏾

thx for the review. great comparison! I play at different venues, and on my rider, I always ask for cdj2000 and djm800 or more recent. Now that I own a xdj xz for a fair price, I can practice my sets at home, and when I have to play at a venue, it feels no diffferent. The only question I have is, when there is damage due too somebody spilling a beer or something over the xz, is it also repairable just like the professional players? There are no visual screws or what so ever on the XZ. There is a big price difference, and when a cdj or your djm get's damaged you can put the damaged product for repair. While the XZ is an all in one...

Coming up in a slightly underground basement party scene CDJs were viewed as a necessity, like a DJ wasnt legit if he didnt spin on CDJS there was a sort of condescending air towards controllers and laptops and the like. As ive matured and graduated to wedding gigs rather than K parties, ive started to see that the true best system is the one that works every time with minimal issues, allowing you to play your tracks seamlessly, keep the dance going, and field requests if possible. It has to look legit too, and as Traktor have officially discontinued sjpport for the Kontrol series, my dorky s4 js going to have to become a wall hanging.

If you need to play CDs or need 4 deck's get 2 cdj1000 mk3 cheap and plug in using line ins to mixer ? Can use CDs or timecode?

I've had the XZ for about 3 months and think it's a massive win win. Serious set up and love having the 4 channel availability. Do find the single screen a bit distracting tbh and find myself focusing a bit too much on the waveforms instead of my ears. Doesn't help when there appears to be a lag but it's only visual. Apart from those little and a few other miner things, I think this thing is amazing! Question I do have for anyone who knows... Does anyone find the mixer controls are more sensitive on this XZ and has anyone been having issues with it reading USB drive?

Watching in 2022 (considering buying 2000s second hand) - nae performance pads on the 3000s!

Mate I’ve watched a couple of your vids now and think you’re reviews are next level. Seriously honest. Can I pick your brain!? Prime 4 vs Xz? I’ve watched your video and still can’t decide. I’m currently running a DVS Traktor but want to ditch the laptop altogether. Why do I feel drawn towards the more expensive unit which has half the capability? All being said I will have 2 x technics 1200 alongside to ?play vinyl... although my actual vinyl collection is small and growing v slowly!!

DJM mixer has MIDI OUT to sync any MIDI device with MIDI clock...XZ you have to use PRO LINK.

Hello , one really important question for me. Is there any possibility to connect Pioneer RMX 1000 station to XDJ-XZ in same way like for example to DJM 900NXS2 ?? I would like to take full advantage of its possibilities.

You should learn how to beat match in your head, I learned of 2 Gemini turntables back in 93. But I just sold my mixer and 2 cdjs, and bought this,and useing it with 2 more cdj nx2s. Im tryn to figure this controller out because ive never spun on one in my life,until today when I bought the XZ.

Hi, regarding audio comparisons with the XDJ-XZ and the CDJ-2000 NXS2 and DJM 900 is there any difference in sound quality? ;)

One difference worth pointing out that you didn't mention - there is no proper send/return on the XZ for external effects, so you cant really use RMX1000 etc. I guess you can put it on a channel fader or master channel but it's not the best way. The OPUS QUAD that just got released fixed the problem about 4 decks BUT it's drifted further from the club standard setup.. both a pro and con.

Hey guys, do you know if i can connect the XZ with a pair of CDJ2000 NXS? I‘m Not Talking about NXS2‘s! Thank you

I think it’s worth the extra money and investing in a DDJ- RZX, it irons out most of what you said was the difference between this one and the full Nexus rig and it’s only a grand more.

@DJ Kiz Walsh if I get this, then get two cdj's, can 1 usb queue tracks to each of the four decks?

I LOVE MY XDJ-XZ!!

Are you top tier ticker?

What is up! Thanks for the vidéo . What about soundcard and sound quality. How do they compare? Cheers

Hold the Door

Id like to see how it handles turntable sound

It really depends on ones needs. If my collection was all FLAC files then this XZ would not be any good for me. I am disapointed that Pioneer left FLAC support out of this AIO. I love their products but I feel like they are holding back from giving you more features.

The difference is the price

Xdj xz better or cdj 3000??

I have an RX2 and want to buy a full Dj Set Up, 2x XDJ 1000 mk2 and a DJM 750 MK2 or even a DJM 900 nxs2 Price between 3500€ and 4500€... and on the other side there is the XZ for 2200€...

you get cdj system for 5.5 k vs xdj xz with two DDJ 1000 on sides for 3.8 k , meaning 4 powerful decks with waaaayy more to offer with pads , samplers etc , brainless choice right?

It dosnt have the same specs regarding club use.... pioneer hasn't shot themselves in the foot as they have been very clever about it... something no one ever talks about but its so important for club use.... the SOUNDCARD... it won't sound nearly as good on a big sound system as the nxs2 set up

Cd oldschool bwa haha

Xz v prime 4 ?

In tha club all in one system is not a good idea. I some thing break you need to change the all the system for cdj you can buy only one piece of equipement. I have a clib trust me djs dont care about gear

Just bought an XZ to make playing on CDJ’s more familiar! Basically the same (if not more with the performance pads) for a third of the price. Still waiting for them to turn up though so I can have a play... said expect late august when I bought them and it’s now changed to September 😑

Still only 2 channels stand alone, no way buying this thing. you still need external cd players, Pioneer failed making it a real 4 mp3 stand alone.

Keep in mind that the xdj is half the price.. Just saying

The Denon Prime 4 is why Pioneer made the XZ. They had to make it. They did a good job. Denon just did a better job. The Denon is a true no computer 4 channel stand alone controller. Also having wifi streaming capability puts it in a class that Pioneer can't touch at the moment.

You don't need 4 decks on them they are layered. You can mix 4 channels all ready.

Completely missed/ignored the difference in sound quality of the mixers, sample rate of the players, etc. There's a reason the big rigs are more expensive.
