DJ Ty from http://www.agiprodj.com gives a comparison / overview of the latest from Pioneer DJ - the CDJ-2000 and the CDJ-900.

We compare the platters, jog wheel adjustment, display screens, and other features between the 2 newest CDJ Digital turntables from Pioneer DJ.

The CDJ-900 and CDJ-2000 will play off of CD, and USB formats such as flash drives, iPods or External Hard Drives.

It's rumored that there will be native support coming end of 2nd quarter this year for the CDJ-2000. Native mode means you can control Serato Scratch LIVE without timecode. Fingers crossed that I'll be able to use the hot cues and hot loops.

Both CDJ-900 and CDJ-2000 offer support for Traktor Dou/Pro. Both have a built in sound card that when connected to the computer can be used with DVS software like Traktor, Mixvibes, and more.

The Rekordbox software shipped with the CDJ-900 and CDJ-2000 is VERY powerful. Make sure you check out our Rekordbox videos coming soon!

These boxes are so similar it's very confusing to make a decision between them. The value proposition for the extra $500 is tough to discern.

Does anyone know whether the players will play from the laptop directly via rekordbox (or whatever), or do they require the content be loaded to USB first? I'm talking, can I play from computer without buying Traktor or another 3d party software with these things?

@vixapphire Both the CDJ-900 & CDJ-2000 will play directly from a laptop using Rekordbox. You need to have the laptop, and CDJs connected all to a regular network hub with CAT5, OR the DJM-2000 provides the entire network on the mixer. You can also connect the DJM-900nexus to the hub now and Rekordbox will push quantized data to the mixer for beat/BPM locked effects.

No discussion of the beat loop feature on the 2000 as against the beat loop buttons on the 900? Come on, guys; if you're going to do a proper comparison, at least outline what you're going to talk about before rolling the camera. With a bit more conscientious scripting, this would've been a far better (as in, more useful to the viewer) production. As it is, I'm not very keen on watching anymore of this company's "information" videos because there's not enough added value there.

@vixapphire Thanks for the comment. We happily take constructive criticism if it's warranted. In this case, it's not. This video was produced on Feb 20 2010. The CDJ-2000 Firmware at the time was 2.03. Version 4.0 was not introduced until almost 1 year to the day later - on Feb 17, 2011. The quantized beat loop was not even a feature on the CDJ-2000 to 'compare' to the CDJ-900 at the time this video was shot. The CDJ-900 was the only player with that feature at the time.

this guy is a bit silly is kep calling cdj 1000 when is 2000 lol

[agiprodj]

@garotinho1108 He called it a CDJ-1000 once. Yep, that's pretty silly.

CDJ 3000 = No DJ required, , press play and fk off. .

@Screwbob1711 U could do all that in Traktor Pro 2 and save money, for the price I would only get the 2000 if you own a bar or club!

[Sabumnimgeh]

Hey Trying to add some info for you all. How I see it if you have the CDJ 900 & Traktor Pro 2 that kinda adds anything that's not missing beat loop/Snyc is all in Traktor.

@darrenrodriguez it's called "take on me" by Aha

[doctorshabs]

Since they both have audio cards in them, lets say I get either pair and and I have a regular mixer, will I still need to invest on Audio interfaces or I could just hook them up to a monitor?
