I’m not sure what I think of this, I love the idea of trying to keep a minimalistic look but I think having physical switches is better than everything inside the Programm. Imagine your mixing at a festival and your applying an effect but chose the wrong deck in that setting by accident, but you already switched screens for your mix and get lost in the Programm. I think this is a great idea but should be made more simple by just keeping the buttons for assigning things. This is only my opinion you may agree or not.

Fortunately, this was not designed for festival DJ performances. It was designed for a more all around DJ; a wedding DJ perhaps? This also could be a really great unit for creating sets to later be performed on CDJ setup. It certainly does have it’s possibilities but it’s still not my cup of tea.

@@akira2k513 I don’t know any dj’s that are going to do technical 4 deck mixing at weddings. I’d say this is more for club dj’s but then you’d expect the club to have equipment already and probably wouldn’t have something like this in the dj booth. This is my gripe with all these new products, there’s so many different options. If the price tag wasn’t so hefty I’d invest but they all become succeeded, and inevitably obsolete, quite quickly. It’s not like a pair of technics that still get used to this day. If a dj rider stipulates a pair of technics you can use any model from the mk2 onwards. They hold their value too. I really want to invest in something like this but I know give it 2-3 years there’ll be an Opus nexus or something along those lines and this will be dated and you’d lose a fair chunk selling it to upgrade. I don’t know anyone who sold a pair of technics to upgrade to a newer model. It’s a conundrum

@@eupel1, trust me, no club or festival DJ would ever want to use the OQ in a performance; they might entertain one at home for fun but to practice on they will want what has long since come to be known as the club standard setup. On an all in one unit, this is best represented by the XDJ-XZ; even Pioneer makes it a point to say that the OQ is not a replacement to the XZ. I stand by what I said originally; this could very well be Pioneer experimenting to see what features mainstream DJs would like to add to the “club standard” workflow. Oh yes, you’re right most DJs will not use 4 decks but many would like to have the option “just in case”. It’s a classic case of FOMO when you don’t have it even if you will never use it. It should be noted that pro DJs who want to use 4 decks will always prefer 4 physical decks rather than layered decks as this complicates the work flow drastically. Can you imagine James Hype playing on layered decks? He would have a sh*t fit.

Price = £2900. A little too much but good review. At this price why not buy; 1. *RANE 70* Battle DJ & Scratch Mixer .Price = £1499 2. *RANE 12 Mk2 Turntable* £739 each, x2 = £1478 Total price = £2977. (Just £77 more) I do miss the days when there was a cap on the price DJs had to pay for professional club equipment (x2 Technics 1210s (£350 each) and a Technics DMC 2 channel scratch mixer) and the rest was all down to your turntable skills and vinyl collection. This equipment had great resale value too. If you decided to quit or take a break there was never a shortage of people happy to buy your equipment for near to what you paid for it. Not sure how easy it would be for you to get anywhere near £2900 for the Opus-quad if you decided to quit after 3 -5 years. Who else can afford it and would trust spending that much money on something 2nd hand from a stranger? ....but anyway..... Just my thoughts. I welcome any comments and alternate perspectives.

Really on this one I do not understand the positioning of Pioneer. 3300€ for a standalone which has the advantage of offering 2 more channels, but removes the multifunction pads which are so popular and useful. To return to separate and independent buttons less quick to use. I find it hard to believe that adding 2 channel increases the price of 1000€. Why not use the rx3 concept by expanding it just a bit and adding 2 channels? You reduce research & dev costs and use the assets that everyone already loves without blowing the budget. Without me on this one, apart from the screen, this standalone looks like a step back in its proposal.

I think that this piece of gear is just like the BMW M3 Competition: At first, I despised the design, but after seeing those reviews, all the features it packs, and the fact that each deck slowly morphs into a CDJ-3000 with the hot cues and the display, I started to like this. In fact, I would buy this instead of the XZ, and equally appreciate this and the clearly-upcoming XZ MK2. It is essentially a full 10000 euros 4 CDJ + DJM setup in a package that's like 3 times less the cost. Really considering buying one of these in the near future. With this and the FLX4, Pioneer really smashed the competition. Kudos to you Crossfader, aswell, for the awesome reviews!

Hello Klaus, I follow your channel. I'm pretty sure you understand this. 🎧All I can say about this new "beautiful" boxy mixer with plenty of space and not enough faders so you can prioritize a fader with your own effects, rather than relying on a knob to select an effect and touch the screen to do it for you. When you are performing, you need time, you need extra hands, you need buttons to be closer, not in a row Now you buy new equipment and only learn or use 10% of it until the next one, it's not practical for you the dj One thing industries are doing now. The more crap they make, the more money they make with you. Next, you can't rely on drop box or any cloud music stuff. No for performing or events. You need your laptop or your drive... and bring your own music or edits

@edwardscott1901 Жыл бұрын
this is the pioneer's way of trying to one-up denon when they released the sc live 4, however, the live 4 is 1200 and this is 2800. It's almost identical apart from this having bigger jog wheels and new screens on each deck. and having 2 extra sound colour effects. I love pioneer gear but they keep making their equipment less and less accessible for the average DJ which sucks which is why i feel like denon is the way to go, also the sc live 4 will run rekordbox usb's so u can still use rekorbox just not with a laptop. but engine dj is free and really powerful too. So in my opinion this a cool piece of kit but i feel the sc live 4 is just that little bit better.
@stevenhardcastle8929 Жыл бұрын
I have to agree with you about the Live 4 even though I do not like the built in speakers and would rather they put screens there instead of on the jog wheels like on the Opus. I honestly don't know what it is but for a unit at this price the Opus looks cheap whereas the live 4 and prime 4 don't at a far lower price tag.

17:44 If they got rid of the beatgrid markers for 4 deck view, you could then have enough display space for 4 horizontal waveforms. Also, it would be nice to have vertical waveforms with an option to touch loop each waveform on the screen based on default settings. Also, to display at least 16 bars in the vertical waveforms to visual mixes easier.
