4 Best Things About the CDJ 3000 & Why DJs are MAD!

[@jonsage5486]

Nothing the matter with a CDJ1000 mk3’s Pick em up for peanuts and they have the added benefit that they predate sync. Get this. You....yes you. Can actually do the beatmatching bit. The actual DJ’ing bit Yes you. Crazy I know. And check this out also. #looks left looks right shadily# You Yes you.....can create a loop. You have to be on point but you can create the loop. This is no time to be hitting the sync button and pulling love heart hand signs young pups.......pick yourselves up a bargain Disclaimer.....please be aware you will be required to be able to beatmatch using only your ears and your skills..... Pioneer holds no responsibility if you sound like a horse falling down a flight of stairs.

You can now use the CDJ-3000 setup for a lower price using VR (TribeXR ) for practice, and you can buy a pioneer controller for gigs.

[@fantasticplastic5336]

The people want Pioneer to update features and be in front of every one. Since they don't and also their price point is huge every one seems to be gravitating to Denon.

[@djcarlo]

This is a good chance for Denon to catch up!

[@d.holland209]

@@djcarlo Denon is way ahead of Pioneer.

[@arkaprabhabanerjee1639]

Tbh Pioneer doesn't have a lot of headroom to experiment in their flagship line up . The majority of people want familiarity shifting from some home controller to a club cdj setup and not get overwhelmed with features . I would atleast need some time to get used to denon's deck and software before i can start which is not the case with denon. If you belong to the bunch of guys who only wants features then denon's are the way to go . But if you want something more reliable and familiar pioneer is the only option . I definitely won't feel as confident with denon's at the club .

[@brabazone1972]

@@arkaprabhabanerjee1639 I switched from Pioneer to Denon a few months ago. Kinda like yourself I thought it would take some time to get the grips with the Denon so decided to make the change during Covid. I reckon after only a few hours I was playing on them like I was using them years. Came really quickly, so for anyone thinking of changing I wouldn't let that stand in your way. If you have been playing on Pioneers for a few years you will have no problems. By the end of day one you will know 90-95% of it's functions and will be mixing to the same level you would on pioneers. As for the software it wasn't great when I started using it but after a few updates it's much better and with the new beta versions we finally got elastic beat grids. My only real gripe with the SC5000 is the tension on the platters. That did take some getting used to. I have had to change the way I do my spin-backs because I can't get a light enough tension. Having said that I have got used to it now so it's not the issue it was in the beginning.

[@arkaprabhabanerjee1639]

@You're fake and gay I have seen several denon stuff (except the flagships ) crash under load which has taken away a bit of my confidence in them .

Well keep dreaming haha but there is some truth about it. I just don't get why it is more expensive than the nexus 2 while not having a CD player!! I actually know a lot of djs who enjoy playing with cds

[@Sebb747]

​@Star Lord But they really seem to try and get the heat. I can see why they removed CDs and not gone radical with two decks and WiFi, but two ports total and the lower amperage on the charging port are something that would've been so cheap to do and yet they didn't go for it. It doesn't even support SD cards over 32GB! It feels like they wanted to make this a sidegrade. And with clubs going extinct or at least very much lacking money at the moment, this only leaves streaming festivals and rich-ish pro DJs as the potential buyer base. Pushing such a lackluster product under these conditions doesn't seem like the right call to me.

[@bouldav]

Get xdj700 or 1000 they re great

[@ERWINRASEL]

I love my CDJ3000 from the day one. I can honestly see why Pioneer is the number one choice for so many DJ's around the world. Pricewise its another story but then again let's face it; this is the product which is aimed at big venues, festivals etc. it's not really meant to be used in the bedroom... Personally as long as I can afford it this will always be my number one choice.

[@djcarlo]

Fair enough bud! I do enjoy Pioneer myself, but they are on a higher price scale than others!

[@djrease7354]

Yes your on point with this bro.. CDJs are not designed to be software controllers.. People need to understand that CDJs are real stand alone media Players designed for professional venue use by professional DJs without need for computers or software. The extra processing is for the higher sound quality on big Festival like sound systems, which a regular tiny controller with large cue buttons is not designed for. And most paid DJs need amazing sounding equipment to meet obligations of high paying customers. Pri yon Joni has an excellent explanation of the intent, use, and design of the CDJ3000... Controllers rely on the computer to operate, although they do the job quite well, they will never have the sound quality of a professional stand-alone DJ system from a pricing standpoint.

[@Passat112]

they were the first, but that doesn't mean that they are the best

[@Lukas-mj9yc]

Those controllers are so overpriced!!!

[@djcarlo]

I agree! They should be cheaper!

[@DeejayPulse]

If you're using a $2300 CDJ as a controller, it's definitely overpriced. If you want to use it as a stand-alone player, it's worth the price, but if you want an inexpensive controller, the market is full of them.

[@ccricers]

Even as standalone it's overpriced. Pretty disappointing value for price compared to the XDJ units.

I've been djing for 20 years, through the era of Technic 1210s right through till today, I own 2 1210s, a sl 1200, Denon prime sc6000 x2 and a ddj1000, also an old djm 800 and 600, I know my equipment, and I enjoy each of them for different reasons, so before you assume next time, ask me why I wrote what I wrote first.

Club owner product. That's what CDJs are. In this times of Covid the sales on this are going to be abysmal. From a DJ perspective no reason to have this at home unless you want to have the exact same gear as the club... And in this case your club will most likely not have it so don't get too excited with the cue points and fast load. Once you're there, it will be gone.

[@manny_f]

Plus most clubs _already_ have a working CDJ2000NX2 set-up which every professional DJ is familiar with, so they have no reason to upgrade. I get the need for a club standard because it makes everyone's life easier, but these aren't worth the asking price.

Hey Carlo, normally I really enjoy your content but I really can't say the same with this one. When I look at your video it looks like you never actually got hands on experience with the CDJ-3000. In the video you clearly have a CDJ-2000 showing at all times. The only 3000's clips you have are taken directly from pioneer. That's all fine and well, but how am I supposed to take a review from someone that doesn't actually use the product? I would have to imagine you took some inspiration from other reviewers on the platform such as Crossfader. I won't say you plagerized anyone, but it certainly look like you copied their homework ;) I hope you don't take this critism the wrong way, and just take it as a note for the next one.

Awesome to see your review Carlo! Just a response about the cue point placement. There was extensive research done with 200 artists about the hot cue location. It was found that being away from where they rest their hand, and being closer to where they used to be located from the upper left was preferred. Being above the jog wheel prevents from accidental trigger, and it serves as an extension to the touch display. You have to think, these CDJs will be used side by side in groups of 4 to 6. Unlike a 2 deck controller, the wider you go, the more likely your hand covers over the the lower part of the jog wheel. The reason for Hot Cues instead of performance pads is for a related reason. Once again, they will be using sets of 4 to 6 decks. It is very easy to lose track of what pad mode you are in. On a 2 deck controller or 2 channel mixer, not so much. But 4-6, you run the risk of making a mistake. At a high profile event on stage at a festival with a big artist, it's not exactly something you want to happen. 1 set of hot cues for 1 function keeps you from making these mistakes. For the users who will be using these, hot cues is all they want and need. I don't see an Ultra headliner switching over to hit the slicer.

[@djrease7354]

Nice Response Bro!! Teach them how its done!! lol!!! Besides I like cue points at the top where I can see them clearly instead of at the bottom or similar to how the S11/REV7 mixer is setup (cue points on top of fader and visible)

[@nomad1517]

They're massive too. Good luck on carrying that shit around unless you have a crew and a van. 😄

[@djcarlo]

They ARE massive! Hahaha, I was pretty shocked the first time I saw them

[@arkaprabhabanerjee1639]

Tbh Pioneer doesn't have a lot of headroom to experiment in their flagship line up . The majority of people want familiarity shifting from some home controller to a club cdj setup and not get overwhelmed with features . I would atleast need some time to get used to denon's deck and software before i can start which is not the case with pioneer. If you belong to the bunch of guys who only wants features then denon's are the way to go . But if you want something more reliable and familiar pioneer is the only option . I definitely won't feel as confident with denon's at the club .

[@djcarlo]

Amen! Could't have said it better myself! Thanks for agreeing with my video!

[@djdeepkanga1245]

Imo keye furures for my liking 1. Updated sound procesing. This is a very nice future for DJs who use wav/flac/aiff playing at huge venues with top of the line audio set up. The clubbing experience will get even better for the audience. High end D/A converters can cost more than one 3000 player alone, so its nice to see pioneer pay attention to the most important thing, making uncompressed sound better. Remember, the soundprocesing part alone can justife its price point compared to Denons flagship modle.. just saying 2. Changing keye: this is HUGE imo and it was about friggin time. That it took pioneer until 2020 to implement a future theyve already technicly mastered (key changing along with the tempo fader) is beyond me. This needs to be a feature on entry level products as well imo.

[@djdeepkanga1245]

Also, its a nice thing thats it expensive as long as the price reflects quality components and durability.. this thing should be able to handle use 50 hrs a week, 365 days a year, for many years + transport. If it turns out to be a durable product $2200 is a very good price imo.

[@djcarlo]

WOW! That's very thorough insights! Thanks for sharing these points and your workflow! More folks can relate!

[@JimmyT1989]

I went for the SC5000 and still don't regret it to a tiny bit. You get them for around 1000$, buy two of them (getting 4 layers) and it's still less than ONE single, technologically inferior CDJ-3000. Former Pioneer users, but done with their "club standard" bs. They became lazy and greedy. I opted for progress and innovation. Also the forum and community is muuuch better.
