looking into getting live to produce, can you hook up a cdj 2000 for tempo adjustments & also a midi mixer for track control within Live or is it limited to 1 midi controller - anyone know?
i asked james at colourfest ireland some years back for the bus shelter sized flyer on the wall behind him,he said come up after my set,i did and going against the advise of security pulled it off the wall for me,hes a legend.
get 20 years of mixing experience first, the real way, (by learning how to beatmix for instance) using nothing but simple turntables and a second hand mixer. after youve learned the basics and getting good at it, then MAYBE then you could consider buying these. if your resident at a club and want your own decks, that is. if none of the above applies to you, you shouldnt buy. having top of the art shit will NEVER make you a better dj, just poorer.
The chance is you will never get the hang of it (otherwise everybody would be a dj, lol) and then you got your 5000 dollar dj booth and nothing to show for it.
im sorry to burst ur bubble my friend, but im about 2 make u feel astho u wasted a few mins of ur life typing all this shit to me, but...YES i am a dj, not 20 years experienced, but yes i am a dj, my current equipment is cdj the 1000 mk3's altho my mixer issint top notch or whatever, hope u get me point...but i totally understand where ur coming from, and i honestly think these players are not really worth the money for "home use"..
if you own a cdj 1000 then you know how badly the 4 beat cutter was needed... the shit he just did would take me over 30 mins to write and record on Traktor... this is awesome
its crazy how people would pull it all off with a pair of 1200s and 2 channel mixers back in the day . Its a bit sad that vinyl is basically instinct , but hey the new shit is real cool as well as long as people remember where it all started and came from
I feel exactly the same way temanyada...about 8 months ago I started to get back into it with my old 1200's, but where I live there is no record shop, let alone one that sells electronic vinyl. The sheer cost of staying up to date with vinyl is outrageous. It seems crazy to spend so much money on these things, but they pay for themselves quickly. And there's a lot more you can do with them too ;)
the whole thing is amazing and more than cool. but DJ-ing soon won't DJ-ing any more, there is too much technic and soon everybody is going to be able to be a DJ. that's shit. But great video, Zabiela is cool!
I agree with you a lot. I have never scratched in my life and I even support a lot of digital mixing that's out there and I'M afraid. But, I'm young and I never even got the chance to learn to scratch or manually mix. smfh
I think he cant wait to use them on the stage this are awesome players but mp3 use is probably still slow like in cdj 400 so many my friends play cd's on cdj 400 becouse audio files are so fast!
james, you're one of my favorites, but i hate you for this man. scrounging right now for some new kit & you prob got those mailed to you straight off the assembly line & Pioneer for free, haha! you earned the hell out of them though. wanna send me your old decks, lol?
Call me a retard but what are the 4 led's around the jog wheel for? Any help? lol love this new player though, deffo saving up for some of these babys! :D
and he does that one handed.........

That is true the loop sucks on the cdj 1000
Try it live and is gonna take forever ,with serato sl3 if u have the exactly bpm the looping is easy, the cutter fantastic it goes
From 32-16-8-4-2-1 and so on , 32 thru 2 is
Basically looping and the rest is cutter , try the cutter with a pioneer efx and u have a nice piece of effects........ Rock the night!!
