I bought a DDJ-1000 about a month ago, and it's just the best thing ever. Playing around with four decks, and having all the effects at my fingertips is just so much fun! What I love the most, though, is the minimalist visuals on the decks themselves. I just have to glance at my screen to select my next track, and the small waveforms and color-coded cue points are more than enough to play all night. It's so immersive and you're absolutely right when you say it makes you a better DJ

Honestly, I liked the video after a few seconds and paused it then at 2:47 to start (once again) looking for an 4-Deck-Controller. That was yesterday. Now I'll watch the rest of the video knowing a Reloop Mixon 4 will arrive in a few days. For just 300€ I finally found a controller, that ticks all my boxes and possible even more than that. You're inspiring. Thanks!

I use a "stoplight" system in my out points (memory cues). Red: be out here; orange: 32 before and yellow: 64 beats before red. My hot cues are to jump in the track and are also laid out similar. 1 is at the breakdown: 32 before and 64 before. Some other tracks require different setups of course, but the above is my default workflow. After practice I also go back to change in and out points to do better. It allows me to mix tracks without really knowing them yet. I also place multiple out point sets for letting a track play out or cutting it short.
@falcodj2 жыл бұрын
Dear Ian, I really liked the way you separate your hotcues. I'm trying to do the same thing, because my best ideas coming while I am on a gig and I love to do mashups on the fly. But doing them on the fly without knowing a lot of the track could give a bad result, so, do you think your hotcues positioning system could help me doing this, easily, on the fly??? Thanks in advance for your response
@IanDeVos2 жыл бұрын
@@falcodj yes. Doing this combined with the knowledge key of the tracks etc you're playing helps to be more spontaneous as you know there's a big change it will work instead of working blindly.

@@IanDeVos Okay. There's no problem for the key, managing harmonic mixing is what normally I do, but i will try to analyze and set the hot cue up for these live moments, trying to be more fluid with no anxiety! But let me understand better the thing, I have to set up the HC breakdown , The HC 32bars before breakdown, and another at 64bars before breakdown, right? Obioviusly it will depends on the track like you told but generally is this?

Don't even have a controller, have been goofing around in rekordbox free version. I'm already hooked. Of course I've been relying on synch and such, but am quickly adapting. Only been at it a day, and I've kind of just been looping "Rump (Extended Mix)", "Red Alert (The Cube Guys Remix)" and "C'Est La Vibe (Extended Mix)" repeatedly, figuring out different/best ways to overlay or combine them. Been having a blast with just those three songs, can only imagine how much more interesting it will be with my full collection, and possibly an entry level controller like maybe a DDJ-FLX4.
@alexboston3433 жыл бұрын
With dnb I'll process all of my tracks with cues on my normal mix in and out points so that I can either quickly skip to exactly where I need to be to be able to mix in, since sometimes when using 4 decks you might at times have only a single phrase to mix the song in, or to be able to just glance at the waveform and know exactly how long I've got to pick a song. Mixing dnb fast with 4 decks is genuinely so much fun but you have to prep your tunes to get the blends you want everytime.

I love my DDJ1000, personally, I think it is the best piece of Pioneer gear out. Between hot cues and beat jump, I feel like I have total control of the music. The CDJ3000 may match the ability to have that control, but I haven't had the opportunity to give them a try. I think Pioneer needs to find more ways to merge the workflows of controllers (1000) and CDJs, again the 3000s appear to have done some of that, but they could go further. Thanks for you videos. I look forward to Monday moring every week.

@@FlyLikeAirplaneKnows The only real difference is that it has a screen built-in, so you can use it as a standalone. If you do so, however, you can only use 2 channels although it has 4, you'd have to hookup your laptop or external players anyway to make use of all 4, so i'd say for 1000 bucks less the DDJ-1000 is definitely the better buy. The only real case where the xdj-xz is a viable option is if you want to maybe hook up a cdj to it, as the xdj-xz is still way cheaper than 2 cdj's and a mixer. Other than that, for 2 channels just get the xdj-rx2
