@theCrash131 You sir, are such an ignorant ass. First of all, being able to beatmatch and play vinyl are important things to learn. But it's time to live in the 21st century and take advantage of new technology. Sure beatmatching is fun, but will the crowd care? No. Using ableton means because there is no beatmatching you get time to do more interesting stuff with the music and make it your own set. Any pretentious dick can mix two songs together, get off your high ground and fuck off

excuse me 2000 dollar for this pieceof equipment is bullshit.i would still setup a steady controller with serato or traktor.and they freakin broke first thing on the play pause buttons man.sorry 5000 for a 2 cd player and a mixer is outrageous...

[KhristianX10]

@remcopeg it plays CDs, USB, your iPod.... and it is a controller. Numark Mixdeck.

[remcopeg]

Don't go and compare this to a controller. A controller only sends MIDI data, and maybe has a soundcard inside it. Thats it. This thing has a few reasons why it is so expensive: 1:You can make money with it, a big nightclub makes tons of money and a pair of these is an investment. 2: It plays CDs, SDs, USBs, has LAN connection and MIDI connection, show me a controller which can do that. 3: Pioneer has a brand to defend.

Not saying the price is a good thing, but this isn't for starters..

You almost get what you pay for... I bought the 2000s and as great as they are I could have saved myself some money and just bought (I wont say the brand to avoid stupid comments) lets say something less and made up for it in skill... honestly I wouldnt tell anyone to get these unless they have a ton of free money or for someone with no skills... Anyways I hope my comment was helpful. To recap these are great CDJs but a bit over costing.

Time to find theCrash131's comment...

[NiLLzoR1]

@theCrash131 uhm... it might be easier, but you still need skill to throw a nice mix... even if the tech helps you out a lot with the BPM's and all that, you cant just throw in a song in a song.. needs knowledge and a good music ear to mix up 2 songs. I do agree on that it makes it really easy but again... like kly45 said, does the crowd care? no they dont, they want good songs and mixes they can dance to :)))

[24kpwned]

as much as i love usb, i still get excited when i throw in a cd and the animation comes on the display of the CDJ lol

[XKwiziteRecords]

@bigpapabear12 buddy u don't even need ur ipod! - that still needs a wire. just bring a USB drive and ur golden for the night!

[XKwiziteRecords]

@theCrash131 good on you crash... totally agree, its so sad seeing all these "wanna be" DJs running around with virtual DJ and all that BS. but in all honesty these decks are amazing. i mean you get the skill of ear and the ability to mix old school style (set track method to vinyl) but u have the modern ease of using mp3. Its like Serato and technics vinyl only plus side is now u get an alien like tech and no need for a comp!

[djnebulae]

hey crash you keep dreaming with your your 3 eq skills in dj with VINYL on decks and a mixer ..at least ableton or any daw gives more Opportunity to expand your skills.. welcome to the real world how music is made.. 4/4 beatmatching c mon theirs more skills out their that.. !!!
