A look at the Pioneer CDJ-400

[xSoundFX]

this is some very good dj equipment you got there would love to mix on that if i could afford it.

you know your stuff

[elborrego314]

hey man can you conect to the pc ??

[DjLukasRanieri101]

Hey dude.Can CDJ 400 do the same sond of CDJ 800 on Vinyl mode??Are they identical on vinyl mode?Thanks a lot xD

[DFRDRIFTPIG]

whats the name of the song mate? the Jet realy suits this type of song!

[DJjozzyboy]

does the djs software work with the pioneer 400k ??

[xXVikingninjaXx]

400's or 800 mkII's??

[gatler05]

@xXVikingninjaXx 800 MK2's of course

[demonicrubberducky]

@xXVikingninjaXx If you're looking to be a scratch DJ, go 800mk2s, and if you're more into mixing, go for the 400s. The 800s' platters are great for scratching, and the 400s can scratch and have additional features. :)

[CodenamREM]

What kinds of wires/chords will i need to hook this kit up to a mixer?

[goldmasterofwwe]

cool



[TheGhostComplex]

Fonzerelli - Spirit (Wanna Stay Here Forever) good track

[originalgrassleaf]

i have a cdj 1000 mk 3

and i can trade it for cdj 400's what do you think.

should i trade or should i save for another mk 3 ?

[general232]

@originalgrassleaf pick up the cdj2000...

but if you dont have the money go for the cdj-400!

to be sure i have never seen anyone using frequently the LOOP FEATURES on the cdj800/850/900 but the hot cues i have SEEN A LOT man!

and if you dont use the hot cues on your 1000mk3 go for the cdj400 and you will be more happie because you will forget about your cds and you will turn into USB sticks!

[dungarvanjoker]

@general232

i went and got the 400's

i like them but i miss my mk3 lol

so im saving for a new set of either 900s or 2000s probably get them by the year 2020 lol

thank you for the advice

[general232]

@dungarvanjoker what are the features that you are missing on the CDJ1000?

[HitchHikersBlues]

Pioneer gear is way to expensive for most people.

[general232]

@HitchHikersBlues once i have read that the real cost of a pioneer product is 50% of it's original price... the other 50% goes back to pioneer

[RblLuis]

personally wich pioneer cdj is the best for you?

[Tobletone27]

I had a look at some second hand CDJ 400's in a store the other day.. and the jog wheels felt absolutely awful, they were really plasticy and felt loose. Same with the CDJ 1000 mk2's. I always thought pioneer was best of the best? Was this just because they were second hand?

[GameOneTwoAction]

@ellaskins does the 350 have vinyl mode?

[Chaulky2010]

I think the song is called 'spirit' by fonzarelli.

[BAMBOCHEA]

Vreau si eu numele la melodia de la min 4:50... VA ROG

[BAMBOCHEA]

Song name PLEASE !

[BAMBOCHEA]

I NEED NAME OF SONG .......PLEASE!

[RupertNorth]

would these be ideal for me if i want to use them for small parties and home practice to prepare me for playing with cdj 1000s and 2000s in clubs and bars ??

[mhdez]

@RupertNorth yes

[kg4ohh]

Hey J, Grate Tips...

Question: When you say that the CDJ-400's can be used with DJS software, are you talking about VDJ as in Virtual DJ, and if so, what Ver will support the CDJ-400

thanks for any info DJ~Ez {USA}

[camdenant]

You are wicked

[mctechno1234]

is there a wave form thingi on the screen, im looking to buy some of these

[djrat0mix]

at the back of the cdj theres a digital output, what does it mean and what is it used for?

[macisilver]

great vids and tuts..looking for a cdj400 at the moment. where is the best place to buy..i am based in europe (austria). thanks

[laz2008]

im researching to get these cdj's and wow i think i learned a lot more watching this vid than other "reviews" ive seen here posted on Youtube, best hands-on review imo thanks!!

[kingmikeofthenorth]

I wish I had like 3 grand to drop into a basic dj set :(

[jiggyman007]

Right in a bit of a pickle..... Cant decide what to get the 350's or 400's. Need help

[thekicker832]

it doesnt look like it but does it have hot cues?

[HilaryB30]

if i use mp3s does that mean I need one for each cdj???

[truesouljs]

@HilaryB30 yes, but on the new cdj2000 & 900 they have a link feature. You just connect a cable into them & you can play music from just 1 source. USB or CD.

[HilaryB30]

@truesouljs I was referring to a source such as an ipod.

[truesouljs]

@HilaryB30 Oh then yes, you would need an ipod plugged into each player, peace!

[Cris02212]

When you move the jog wheel does the pitch always changes or you can just set it so you can move it with the same pitch just to sync both songs?

[DFRDRIFTPIG]

whats the name of the song mate?

[LugZ1981]

cool song and I searched through the comments....looks like nobody really knows the name of the song.

Jonathan...song name please. 

[MittahDejong]

Dude ur awesome Lol

[PilotSV]

Hello,

As a starting DJ, do you think I should buy something like a Numark Omni, or should I go with some Pioneers like the 400?

Thanks

[oreos26]

how do i win something from you?????????

[djdunza1]

Genasis2007 :

I'm having the same problem mate. Thought it was my ears at first. I've got a feeling it's to do with the midi settings that may have saved in the cdj system drive. And therefore comes through speakers completely off sync when in CD mode. Either that or a BUG?? can you restart these puppies? Or maybe update software or clean inside?

[StopSpotter]

Douglas:

No. Sorry. A set of the CDJ 40 is around 1500 euro's

i'm a lazy DJ. I use the BPM meter :P

[djisura]

Para todos los que preguntaron, y el ojete del video que no quiso responde ahi les va el nombre de la rola: (Tranck ID):

Fonzerelli - Spirit (Aron McClelland Mix)

[djisura]

track ID

[douglasnva]

Where could I get some used CDJ 400s? I need some. Is 300 pounds good enough for a pair of them?

[MintyRust]

@douglasnva

I think  prob for one yes. lol

[truesouljs]

@HostilePro I dont have them myself but I saw a video on the cdj 800 & theres a button called auto cue. Just turn that on or off as you need it. Apparently it's the same on the cdj 400. Peace.

[genasis2007]

can any who as cdjs 400 can tell me if they are haveing proplems with the deck tempo jumping out

[SmokeWeed464]

from 1:45-50 hahaha

[Lukchh]

what does that red line (squares) represent?? i mean under function Time remaining on the main display.

[HostilePro]

the red squares represent the running time, or remaining running time of the track being played

[genasis2007]

i have found the same proplem with my pioneer cdjs 400 that i got they keep skiping when i try to mix it is realy hard to hold a mix with the jumping that they do is any one eles haveing the same proplem like me and terbowilson and how can i fix it

[CrAzYcArNiE08]

overall, Im wanting to get these very soon, in about a week, is it worth it?

[terbowilson]

I recently bought a set of these, and was wondering if someone could give me some help.

When i put a new cd in to mix. I cue the track ready and beatmatched, but then the tempo will jump. Say i have the tempo set at 125, it will jump to 126 for a example. Then if i try to adjust it, it will do the same.

Is this normal for cdjs??

[xMixemup]

how much do these go for each?

[Percussion2edit]

@xMixemup 600.00 to 800.00 US last time i checked.

[hoagy1]

Cool...what d'you reckons best for midi controlability the 400 or 800?

i want midi/traktor control but also the 800s beafy control wheel...

:D

[MrFefen]

Hey Man thanks for the video I have a question tho are de cdj 400 compatible with Virtual DJ??? thanks in advance :)

[battalioncommander08]

Yes, it is

[rukaras]

@MrFefen Yes

[DJI4N]

@MrFefen > Yes It is! Check the PRODUCERMAT videos on how to conect the 400s to the Virtual DJ

[MasterBeatzRyan]

@MasterBeatzRyan Fonzerelli - Spirit (Aron McClelland Mix)

[jumpstylejos]

acctualy it's a nice track his playing xD

i just like djtutor always use it for reviews and stuff for my new equipement.

[kliffers]

[spencer5158]

about how much is the table i want to buy one???

[StyleXstudios]

@spencer5158 google it...

[ThePsychOre]

CDJ 400 Is Good for Psy Trance?

[auidofoxx]

brilliant review

[JoeMcCreepy]

I second Hsoutinho's question. Also where in the world can you even find advice on house music equipment? I am a very good researcher and I've given up.

[Hsoutinho]

To mix drum & Bass and House, would you advise me the cdj-400?

[rufixorg]

Song name please!

Thank you!

[djpro9c]

You helped me made my choice buddy!

[dakidtavinho]

hey jon can u please do a vid on da numark ns7=]

thanks jon=]

[jakevader]

are the 400s good for live DJing at clubs etc?... or are they only good for "home use"

[karimharara]

I find it esier to set it to 16 and move the pitch in small amounts.

That way to me seems like it more of a fine tune.

[ehsan83]

I would say that sometimes you don't have enough because your track is finishing & you don't have the time to be that precise & don't have that patience because you need to change fast.

In such a situnation you want to get that change very fast & i would say that it's more efficient to get the desired result faster.

[djazores]

nice

[djuav]

Just watched the vid there, fantastic and very well explained, im giving some serious thought to getting this setup, atm tho currently trying to work out which would be the best sort of mixer to couple along with the 400's if anyone has any advice would be greatly appreciated. cheers 5/5 for the vid.

[BitternessA]

@djuav The behringer DDM4000 is a great piece of equipment. Generally Behringer have really bad mixers but this ones a real work of art. at a quarter of the price of the djm800. Does more as well. Its about $500 australian. Compared to the $2000 the DJM800 is. And they do the exact same thing. And the ddm4000 is more customisable

[jalepeno54]

great tutorial man, very well explained, keep em comin

[spooksmagee]

excellent review man, thanks 5/5

[djisura]

@spooksmagee Fonzerelli - Spirit (Aron McClelland Mix)

[arabmaan]

hello im just askin what is the difference with the cdj 400 K and the cdj 400 other than the colour difference?

[Nut360]

there is no difference other than the color

[Plamen2007]

hey,

What would you recommend ? This or the Reloop rp-4000 m3d turntables. Ofcourse I very much prefer vinyl but seeing that if I get the turntable I will be using it with timecode. What should I get ? For a mixer, I'm looking at the reloop iq.2

[MrAusty]

For Christmas I got 1 CDJ 400 and 1 DJM 400. both are quality pieces of hardware, lots of fun to mess with and the fx are pretty sweet. i still need to buy another cdj though my parents only could afford to get me one.

You can still mix with only using 1 CDJ by using the mixer with the roll effect to create a 8/1 loop and then moving the crossfader all the way to other side, cueing up a new song and matching the beat and then slowly moving the fader back and turning down the roll efect knob

[daveyb2009]

how much for 1 brand new

[pavel5225]

What price the Pioneer CDJ-400

[flizz5]

rm1000

[Icarusoul]

Another good review, Was looking into these and you have made my opinion that much greater.

[DJValoz]

Are you Gay since you have a earring in your right ear?!?

[wakeyskate]

lol he has wife and kids

[magmapark]

why do you show interest in his sexuality?

[LogoMproductions]

i believe he has in both

[mark12810]

400s* lol am a bit pist haha

[mark12810]

i h\ve the 499s and i will honestly tell ya i they r twice as good as 800s i used em both i like the feel of the 400 jog wheel r in my opion better haha this is no joke i prefer them to the 1000s even

[zecflo]

What's the name of the song?? can anyone help me with this pls ??

[thebestzek]

why do you come here just to ask about the songs used?!?!?!?

[zecflo]

@thebestzek i just ask a normal question, becouse i like that song, dont be a hater , mother fucker ;) !!

[thebestzek]

@zecflo ok....

[flizz5]

name is

GOFUCKYOURSELF BY YOURMOM

[zecflo]

@flizz5 i just enjoy spending time with your mother last night, damn she is a hore.....!!!!

[camdenant]

@zecflo

she wasn't that bad, but her minge smelt of rotten sailors

[andrejborisich]

I think it's something between pro and beginner. On russian site of Pioneer nothing said about it. But cdj400 is between beginner and pro players.

[d0nkayzer0]

im gettin started soon...would cdj 400 do any good for me to practice?

[MrHaylcon]

livestream. c0m/mkiii ! new radio station launching friday 4th december, looking for djs worldwide, if you are interested please drop me a msg on my youtube account with your email address. thank you x

[TheLeprechaunDude]

ME LIKEY!!! :P and its not too expensive to buy a package deal 2nd hand... :P

[Bunechunk]

What's the difference between a VCI-300 and a Pioneer CDJ-400? Which is more preferable in a club setting?

[braemstabraemsta]

thank you british guy! a very interesting and useful look

[TheSoloracing]

what the name song?

[beno351]

at 5:15 on this video when you use two fingers to cut the loop etc...can the cdj200 do exactly the same thing or similar with one button? im looking at getting some 200s and want to be able to make sound like that

[empire562]

how is it better than 800 ? and whats the pros and cons on the 400 :)

[cheebaful]

johnathan-really dig your teaching style-i actually find your tutorials the best -easy to follow

[stratification23]

thats true.... thanks to all your videos man. :) can you use that with ableton?

[igbenedito]

very very good cdj 400 *----*

[gitaarboy12]

Can i use the cdj 400 whit virtual dj ?

mail my plz.

[MrJimbob2707]

yes. thats what its designed for

[ccricers]

I was going to buy a CDJ 1000 mk2 (used) but seeing demo videos of the 400, I'm pretty much sold on this now. The 1000 is overkill for my needs. This is cheaper and supports more media.

[DJMAGICVINYL]

JOHNATHAN!!!! check this out las night i was spinning at this club and my friend said that i was of beat at most of the songs..i have been spinning since 93 with 1200s.i purchased the numarks cdx because of the vinyl feel and i felt at home..anyways so now that i went digital i noticed that in the pith control i didnt know about the 6 10 16 so i just kept it on 16 well now i know why my mixes where off...Thanks for that in thats great because i got to spin again tomorrrow ...

[maniccmike]

hey johnathan, great vid man. i bought a pair of these decks last year after using technics for years haven't looked back!!!i'm just wondering do u know what the best usb device for these decks. got a great dvd from internet with 4 gb of tunes so burning to cd would take forever!!!tried meory stick but it sometimes hangs when searching using platter. any advice would be great..cheers

[FinaJosefinaE]

the important thing is: its a midi controller

[djvaddy]

very good cdj .... and it's also great for beginners , i recommend cdj 400 instead of cdj 200 , because cdj 200 does not have vinyl mode and vinyl mode is a good way to learn...

btw, great video!

[TommyNuca]

Can You save a cue point?

[mesaboogiewes]

Question: I know the CDJ400 plays MP3's off disks - and as far as I can read, does NOT support any other file format (wav, mp4, etc) from disk. However, when connecting an iPod, hard drive, flash drive, etc. - will it support the other file formats? or would it always have to be mp3? I buy mostly mp4 or wav files for better sound quality, and am wondering if I would have to convert my entire collection to use these decks...

Thanks! Great video!

[liquidice1980]

Selling my pair of CDJ-400's for £1,050 Buy It Now on eBay. Item number 200381814859.

[jimmydee85]

really great review and demonstration.. thank you! I'll def be buying a couple of these now.. :)

[intheair35]

is the cdj 400 worth it ..? if ur a beginner dj

[januitmonnickendam]

DEFENITLY

[DjConsTricTa]

yes i think its the best and the price is ok cause u can do more with it

[djlika78]

Thanks for the vid Jonathan! I´m a vinyl DJ and tomorrow I'll be djing with this CDJs for a TV show but never had a go with them b4...u helped a lot mate! cheers

[dadams1988]

just a question, the kit i have now (not as good as cdj400) measures bpm quite well and shows it in tenths as well, eg. 128.4 bpm.

i noticed on this it only does whole bpm, does this mean it slightly changes the song to be exactly 128 from 128.4 . Or does it just show 128 when it is acctually 128.4, so when i mix a track that is actually 128.1 and the track which is 128.4 (both displaying 128bpm), they will be out of sync in a few second because one is slightly faster than the other?

[jarrydn]

The CDJ400 only does an approximation. It doesn't lock the tracks to the nearest 1bpm...you still need to use your brain and ears.

[swaabinhio]

i have a question. i just got my new CDJ - 400 and on the outside of the jogwheel the rim is a bit loose. However i also bought another CDJ - 400 and its the same. is this a coinsidence and should i send them back or is this with every CDJ - 400

[Blayros]

what kind of loose? cause the wheel to fine tune ur beat matching is very loose and I feel it should be but take it back to the dealer if you are not sure if this is right...... didn't you try the CDJ before buying it? hope it works out for you

[smartart]

I agree. Much better than the CDJ-800. I am a professional Club DJ and own a pair of these on the side. Originally I was going to pick up a pair of 800s as I didn't have the budget for CDJ 1000s at the time and a few DJs were eager to sway my attention away from the 800s and onto the 400s. The 400s may not mimic the look of CDJ 1000s as do the 800s, but they allow much more hands on creativity and are by far more advanced digitally. So I highly recommend the CDJ 400.

[retardiran87]

yes, you're retarded!

[demelumeestermad]

def gettin 2 of these, cant wait :D

[sniper2169]

I have 2 CDJ-800's and the DJM 909. by far.. this is all you need to be a professional DJ. Unless you get the. i got 50 effects built into this mixer (every DJ effect is in this mixer).. it's a 2 channel. and i don't need a 4 channel. check my video out

[djtryout]

quality man, i have a question.. is it worth getting serato with cdj's ? i can just burn songs from laptop to cd anywaay...

[djaditya86]

after burning cds after cds (audio is better to handle than mp3) i've come to a point where its so hard to remember which album has the cd i want and there will be so many cd cases.. i would go with serato and a macbook today.

[rubinboy9]

do you have a bpm display???

(i am about to buy a cdj-400)

[driven90]

Yeah it does

[todalapotencia]

buy pioneer cdj 400 or denon dsn-3500? thanx

argentina

[BadazzSerb]

Would this combination be good?:

2 x CDJ 400

Mixer: Numark x9 (cosmeticly upgrated DXM09)

Thx!

[madtribes]

most deff. dude.........

I saw these thing and just straight fell in love with them im getting a set of them in two weeks =D

[forzasmonkey]

does the djm 400 have that 'waw' effect that takes away certain frequencys?

[vandit63]

OF COUGSS

[driven90]

CDJ does; not sure about the DJM though =)

[HouseMusik2009]

what's better, iCDX or CDJ-400?

[youknowitsreal]

cdj400, its a pioneer. look at the build of the iCDX, its fully plastic, cheaply made.

[cloudtommy]

very nice whats the name of that track? sounds like a oakenfold song.

[rossat5]

OMG iv got the same carpet as you !! hehe

[mattdibden]

By the way to make it clear the email addy below is if anyone is interested and from the uk only for jog wheel graphics.can be for any flat jogwheel. Soz for the spam if it come across that way just helpin fellow djs out lol

[mattdibden]

There is little in means of logos n designs for the job wheel but as I do signmaking I can make vinyl graphics ill try and put my email on here so it accepts it so ignore spaces. djdibz @ hotmail . co . uk. Gotta say love these decks and the vids are awsome help to get to know the kit

[bleak1021]

Im wondering whats a better dj cd player the CDJ-400 or the Denon 3700. It would be my first cd players

[youknowitsreal]

depends on your set. denon is better suited for hip-hop because of its 9 inch platter.

[sameelatif]

song name?

[AliWaa9002]

Spirit (Wana stay here forever) by Fonzarelli

[hardstyleism]

Hi jonathan,

ive been busy mixing hardstyle now for over a month

just with a hercules midi controller and traktor 3 for mac

i wanna upgrade my setup to better gear and i saw a few complete dj sets with the cdj 200 + djm 400 or the cdj 400 +400 in a store nearby my living place from a pioneer dealer. which cdj would you suggest? i personaly thought the cdj 400 because i dont have alot of cd's most of em downloaded from mp3 sites but the cdj 400 is like 400E more expensive

Greetings

[humerro]

umm im not Jhonatan lol but i sugest you to buy your set with the CDJ 400

[cyberscape]

i just bought 2 cdj 400. and im thinkin of buying DJS to go with it. can u pls make a video on how to set it up with the computer. pls pardon my ignorance. hehehe im still a new DJ. thanx
