Did The Pioneer XDJ-RX Just Change Everything?

[@wolfinthewoods1400]

Man, thanks for the great video. I'm a veteran vinyl only DJ with over 20 years experience. I never like the idea of dropping vinyl for CD's. I love the controller idea but I'm not good with computers at all (I"m just a little too old I think). I first saw this video about a year ago and have watched it, and many other vid's on the RX, many times. Next month I'll be in the position to buy one of these outright but I can't help shaking this feeling that Pioneer is about to release an upgraded version of this, much like the SZ was a huge upgrade to the already great SX. In my head I see a larger RX with 8 touch pads under the 'CD' wheels (which may also be bigger and better), and more functions to bring it in line with (read: competitive with) the high end Pioneer CD/Mixer combo's. I feel like the board I've been waiting for for over 20 years is about to be released and i don't want to blow my money a board that I'm going to have to replace in a couple months. What are your thoughts on this "Ghost Controller"? I've searched the web high and low for rumors of a possible upcoming board but have found nothing.

[@digitaldjtips]

+Wolf In The Woods Thanks for watching the videos, glad you enjoy them :) Not sure on the "ghost controller", I imagine there could be talk of something at an upcoming convention (Musikmesse, BPM...) but haven't heard anything as of yet. It might be worthwhile to wait if your gut is telling you to do so! Though, don't wait too long, you'll miss out on a lot of time/fun to be had with controllers :)

[@arkadiuszmikina4563]

+Digital DJ Tips My suggestions for the updated and/or enlarged xdjrx (XDJ-RZ ?) would be following: -8 pads made with rubber (not plastic) and in rgb color -4 channels mixer -full sized jog wheels with better central lcd screens (think DDJ-SZ quality and execution) -screen should be touchscreen with qwerty keyboard for incremental search (or maybe even 2 separate touchscreens for each of the side?) -GUI should be exactly the same as on CDJ/XDJ (for 100% cross-compatibility to club setup) -VU meters should be exactly the same as on DJM900 (in quantity-15 and quality-same appearance and not 'crossed in half') and for each channel -separate VU meter for master -Serato and Traktor compatibility - I don't think XDJ-RX is compatible with them as it stands now right? -DVS compatibility -split cues for headphones and not just a blend -WiFi connectivity out of the box for loading up files via rekordbox to the unit wirelessly -DAC should be of higher quality (exactly the same like on the DJM900nxs2) for highest quality sound (remember that it is a digital mixer inside so it has to rival sound quality with analog mixers who are the best that!) -Needle strip like on ddj-sz -central LCDs on jog wheels of better quality - just the same as on ddj-sz -there seems to be an issue with beat matching on xdi-rx - e.g. djtechtools.com review mentions that lining up two tracks using waveforms is difficult unless you have sync on (this may be a really important issue and obstacle in buying this unit) Then call it XDJ-RZ, charge $2200-$2400 (where XDJ-RX costs $1499) and.....rule the world 'outside the DJ booth too' (since they rule the world inside the DJ booth already ;) ) What do you think? Would you buy one? Am I Pioneer's new product development manager yet or what? :D

[@n1ckj537]

dude you fucken called it! RX2 announced with 8 pads and more functions

[@fibbleuk4019]

Your correct, there is no keyboard and searching is a pain. But. You can recordbox on your laptop and plug the XDJ-RX into your LAN and stream tunes direct from the laptop, and also search and drag and drop tunes onto either Deck 1 or 2 making searching easy. Also saves having to output to USB.

[@checkwalkcare8128]

in nexus, if you hit, hold and turn search button , you see big letters of alphabet and screen shows the tracks begining with that letter. do this suppott same search type?

[@Nonchalant81s]

I was actually torn between learning on the XDJ-RX or the Numark NV. I'm glad I saw this video.

[@uselessgarbagehandler]

+Nonchalant81s which did you choose?

[@delahills]

I've been playing on Tech 12's and an Allen and Heath Xone 32 for over a decade. Final scratch and other digital to analog software + the laptop I find cumbersome. I have also played on cdj's and a handful of controllers including this one. I feel like these handle virtually the same as cdj's, if you learn without the syncing feature which should unquestionable be the case, the learning curb to the dj booth is little to none. I haven't purchased it yet but I'm sold. The capabilities and compact functionality for the price are unparalleled from what I've seen out at the moment. Great review! Cheers!

[@timntommusic9048]

going from a producer to being asked to play at shows all around hollywood, having only dj'd using traktor this unit taught me how to use cdj's this unit is perfect i highly recommend, its the industry standard at every club all around the world. and no one should be that guy who is walking around the club with your controller before and after your set.

[@digitaldjtips]

Awesome, thanks for sharing your experience of it :)

[@erickvonbraunsberg]

Looks like an upgraded version of the Stanton SCS4DJ from 2011, which is an awesome little gadget with not only 2 u.s. ports on top but 2 more on bottom in in foam lined enclosure designed to hold portable harddrive,phone , etc. Securely in place and protected. That being said this looks like a much sturdier build with way more output options.Can't go wrong with Pioneer. I'm a fan. This is definitely going on my wishlist. But this can't really be called the first of its kind when I already own the Stanton that it's modeled after. Definitely looks like a much better version of the original Digital stand alone, but credit should be given when credit is due.

[@McSpacerson]

+Erick Vonbraunsberg I also have the Stanton SCS4DJ and love it. but... it has no video abilities, I need an all in one controller that's just like this one (or the Stanton) That also has the ability to play videos to a video out port.

[@trinjaminternational]

just to add, a wireless keyboard also works with the Stanton SCS4DJ. I use a mini one which works perfectly. Why Stanton won't just build a gen 2 version I don't know. This XDJ RX still falls short of the mark. No storage compartment for a Hard drive either. Sigh..this is not new or ground breaking by any stretch...Serato and a controller still rules for performances...

[@Kaizasouza1]

Hi Phil, iv currently got the DDJ-SX and looking to upgrade and was looking at the new units Pioneer have out at the moment. I was considering the XDJ-RX, however am i correct in thinking that I will only be able to use Rekordbox? I wont be able to use serato at all. and that is also the same with the DDJ RX & RZ. So in other words. Unit wise Pioneer havent really come up with anything new for serato users?

[@christianksrw]

I would absolutely love this if it had bigger jog wheels to give it that CDJ feel but on the go

[@sangieredwolf]

I would love to see an indepth comparison between this and the newer Denon DJ MXC8000.

[@bboymac84]

Yea keyboard us essential if I'm looking for a specific song in a pinch. Once you have a keyboard touch screen it's a wrap!

[@Ade2bee]

For searching for tracks is the killer for me, I can’t do without touchscreen now

[@maadmum9409]

This thing with a virtual keyboard and 4 channels would be killing the scene. 2 Extra-Channels for cdjs or vinyl or traktor kontrol f1

[@feso85]

Great video well i have a question here ? I have ddj sz I'm thinking to sell it and by the xdj-rx what so u think ? Witch one is better ? I like the usb feature in the rx. What will u do if u where me? Thanks

[@AndresSanabriaMusic]

would you go with the xdj rx or the set of the xdj 1000 and a 850 djm? comparing the prices is worthy to pay more for the xdj 1000?

[@g-force-danielgoldstone3078]

Was thinking should I get the XDJ- R1 or get the xdj 700s and use my DJM-600?🤔 Could do with some helpful advice.

[@DaveyMc28]

so if you bought this and just plugged a USB or external Hardrive in before the tracks going near Rekordbox.. would it still be able to read your tracks?

[@DJFALLEN]

Between this and the CDMP-7000 which would you prefer? Something thats club friendly, event friendly, ect?

[@JanetteSlack]

Thank you so much, really clear and informative. I have the DDJSX, so I was trying to weigh up weather i should get it or not. Just wish it had a couple more channels. But a bargain of a piece of kit! amazing

[@ridgemills]

Thanks for the review and linking it in my other message :)

[@digitaldjtips]

+TAO9's Laboratory No problem :) Glad to help!

[@xZenithik]

It's nearly perfect for me. All I want now is a 4 channel version with built in DVS so turntablists can use it without a laptop but with timecode vinyl. The next step would be if it also had CD slots so new users could learn that process as well, though that's a low priority IMO.

[@digitaldjtips]

xZenithik Timecode control is a really interesting idea, don't see why they couldn't.

[@ralph3489]

hey phil. i hope you can read this comment. ive been searching everywhere on the web, for reviews about this unit integrated with the traktor software. the ads say that is also a dj controller. but im not sure if it is. and there aren't any videos about the xdj rx with traktor. i just want to make sure because i really like the idea of this unit being all in one, but im just not sure about the controller feature that they say it has. i hope you guys at digitaldjtips did runs with the xdj rx and traktor. because im planning to buy an xdj rx and have an extra kontrol x1 on the side with traktor software. i really hope to hear from you guys. cheers!

[@markbendall1]

Hi Phil, thanks for the vid on this new controller, I have been using DDJ-SX with Serato for a year now. You need to be able to see/change size of wave forms so you can see the drops and peaks in advance so you can plan where to bring in next tune, there is a way in serato but not sure about recordbox, I think this function is a must!

[@digitaldjtips]

markbendall1 Yeah, you can resize the waveforms too.

[@apostolisarioulas2450]

***** great video!!i would like to know where i can find this case and how much it costs?

[@casino54]

Hi Guys, I am thinking of buying this but I was wonder if I can add an F1 or Sample extra controller to add for example acapella or different sample?

[@shivyyz]

you can still plug in a laptop and use that to load tracks with rekordbox if you want to be able to search...

[@Timbuhofficial]

I've been practicing Traktor for 2 years now. I understand that clubs will have nexus 2000cdjs, but I dont how i could practice. Would this controller be a good home set up to help mimic practice on real cdjs?

[@digitaldjtips]

It would - also the DDJ-1000 would be very close: djtips.co/ddj1000

[@retrodakid1]

hi there. great vid! starting to think bout buying one of these as want to move from traktor. whats the platter when mixing compared to the 2000s in relation to the response when slowing down or speeding up.

[@digitaldjtips]

Hey Mick! 2000s are top of the line but this is very good :) You can see our full reviews of each here: Pioneer DJ CDJ-2000NXS2 Review www.digitaldjtips.com/reviews/pioneer-cdj2000nxs2/ Pioneer XDJ-RX Review www.digitaldjtips.com/reviews/pioneer-xdj-rx/

[@shaun_sb81]

I can't seem to find any info out there about the sound quality. Does anyone know if it has the same chip set as say the XDJ-1000's?

[@SteveMarksMusic]

Great review!!! I also want to see a 4 channel version of this!! This fills a big gap in the market between: CDJs + mixer, and controllers. Im sick of seeing DJs staring at a laptop all night, its like they are holding hands with the teacher, and they forget they are performing for an audience!!

[@boby200082]

I recently bought a Wego3 and i think it's a brilliant DJ controller for the entry level djs, I am 14 and have a great interest in music and especially DJing, I would like to ask what is the next step after the wego3, I mean if I were to get an upgrade I would probably still use the wego3 for house parties etc but I was wondering what should I get next?

[@digitaldjtips]

[@boby200082]

+Digital DJ Tips thanks that's brilliant help :)

[@digitaldjtips]

+Rob McCammon You're welcome :)

[@FSwiftDJ]

Great review, will they support vinyl DVS soon ? or better to go more ddj Rx or rz?

[@digitaldjtips]

+FSwift DJ Thanks! Here's the latest on Rekordbox DJ with DVS support: www.digitaldjtips.com/2016/03/rekordbox-4-1-released-dvs-now-supported/

[@JPPimentadj]

it is very nice instrument dj ..... but i need to now if we can skip the track ? thank you for support

[@ashleychu3114]

yes you can, there is a track search button on the machine which lets you to move through songs without using the browser mode

[@aaronphillips402]

Guitar Center has this for $1500 witch is a lot cheaper than buying 2 XDJ-1000 and a Mixer. I just wish it was a 4 channel so I could plug more XDJ's into it and link them. In fact it would be a good idea to make stand alone XDJ's bases one the RX players. Make it so the screen shrinks the waveforms down so all 4 can play next to each other.

[@checkwalkcare8128]

in nexus, if you hit, hold and turn search button , you see big letters of alphabet and screen shows the tracks begining with that letter. do this suppott same search type?

[@traktorpro10]

Hi Phil, currently using the R1 and was thinking of upgrading to the RX but the absence of a search feature/qwerty keyboard similar to Remotebox is a deal breaker for me (I do mostly mobile gigs). If Pioneer had transferred the XDJ-1000 touch screen into this unit it would have been perfect for me.

[@NicloderSxD]

Looking forward to upcoming comparison videos like: "Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX -vs- Denon DJ MCX 8000"

[@jpnumarkpimenta4638]

so i can with my cdjs pioneer 850 to line input to pioneer xdj-rx and record in the xdj-rx? thank you for support and help

[@martinhatten6160]

I agree the XDJ RX has just changed everything and you don't really need anything else to do a professional recorded mix besides mic, headphones and speakers

[@prozakmusic1]

Pioneer xdj rx or denon dj mcx 8000? And why? Thanks!

[@digitaldjtips]

Depends - if you want to go with the Pioneer ecosystem/Rekordbox, go for the XDJ-RX. If you like the look and feel of Denons and like both Serato DJ and their Engine Prime software, go for that :) They're both good

[@mangekyodani4950]

can you still use this controller with a computer and virtual DJ ?

[@RobR386]

I've been looking at one of these units, however the big question is, is it worth trading up my traktor timecode vinyl setup that includes a Z2 mixer/controller. A massive decision considering I've had my pair of TT500 bought new 10 years ago, they've been rock solid, only needing a new pitch fader on one of them (5 min soldering job) and they still continue to perform, plus I have crates of vinyl that goes into the mix creating a hybrid digital analog mashup, it's worked so well up to now, just don't want to end up making the wrong choice and regret it.

[@digitaldjtips]

Great question - it really depends on how much you like Traktor/DVS. Sounds like you have a pretty cool set-up, but this controller would suit you if you want to own gear similar to that found in clubs, and like the idea of using Rekordbox :)

[@RobR386]

Thanks for the reply, greatly appreciated, I've never used Rekordbox before, however I did download it to have a play and it looks like a great way to set up tracks, however I think for now I will stick with Traktor and maybe get some CDJ's to put along side the vinyl decks.

[@digitaldjtips]

No problem :) Solid plan, let us know what you think!

[@Landoinusfri]

I have an old computer that I can my tracks from and I'm sure that Rekordbox won't work on it. Can I use this machine structuyvwith tracks on a USB or must I prepare on Rekordbox.

[@digitaldjtips]

There are also mobile Rekordbox apps available as well. You can just load tracks up on the unit but this will take longer :-)

[@1875kmb]

It looks like from your demo and another one I've seen, when you hit load button to put track in player one or two the track plays automatically ?

[@christo-t7e]

it's a nice bit of kit but it's basically a djm and 2 cdjs stuck together ,the more you read into it it's not actually that groundbreaking ,but it is amazing value for cash and I'd have one.

[@dontaseymore9064]

Hello there I just wanted to know while the one song is playing through the speaker could I hear the song I want to play next through the headphones?

[@Gyrbae]

I'm going to buy it after I can control audio from usb with timecode vinyls without computer.

[@johnnysimsyo]

Gyrbae lmao it won't ever do that

[@lag3432]

Yes Yes, I feel you I'm waiting for the company that makes something like this but in a much smaller size and under 10 pounds.

[@digitaldjtips]

:)

[@eee7259]

Hey Phil, how does this compare to the SZ?

[@jpnumarkpimenta4638]

Traktor Kontrol D2 and Pioneer XDJ RX it can do good job? thank you for support

[@digitaldjtips]

+JPnumark Pimenta No you can't use these two together easily.

[@jpnumarkpimenta4638]

Pioneer XDJ RX with traktor s8 it do get work?

[@jpnumarkpimenta4638]

traktor s8 it have 2 inputs audio and 4 channel and steams decks soi think it be great and i can use sample steams with Pioneer XDJ RX thank you for support

[@hyperthred]

love the video. but I just bought the pioneer ddj Rx lol. i DJ a lot of weddings and small events. putting all my music on a hard drive or USB stick would suck to scroll thru. i have about 40k songs on my laptop ugh. great review though

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for watching it Bobby! It's cool, whatever work for you is best :) If you ever want to get the amount of songs down, you can check out this free 3-part article series: www.digitaldjtips.com/2016/03/digital-de-clutter-part-1-weeding-music-collection/

[@DJAndyKey]

So, can I play using USB flash without laptop? And is it possible to use it without mixer eg. PIONEER DJM-850K - just directly connect it to speakers or amplifier in the club?

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes and yes. It's a standalone unit. Pretty much two CDJ units moulded with a mixer and a little computer of its own. Hope that helps!

[@DJAndyKey]

Thanks a lot!

[@digitaldjtips]

You're welcome! :-)

[@jhenry248]

One other feature is should have which will probably be available on the Mk2 version is WIFI. You have to take in account the number of large format smart phone and tablets. Download the Recordbox app on one of those set you cue points etc connect wireless to your device. And with cloud storage you can download you tracks to you decks usb device. The possibilities.

[@JackDoonerMusic]

jhenry248 WiFi is possible, but with a little extra. If you connect the Ethernet at the back to a router with wireless capability, and you also connect your laptop (or other source) to that router wirelessly, you can then select Link, and browse over WiFi. But yes, built in would be nice.

[@mickswagger6086]

thanks mate i just subscribed really love making music, i use to walk around making music in my head but after years of being in prison i really just jumped at making my own music, because i am bored with radio and so on do u make your own music? once again cheers mate

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for subscribing Mick! Good to have you here - Some of us make music at DDJT, especially our Music Production For DJs tutor :) Cheers

[@FunkyAgnostic98]

But does it work without rekordbox? Lets say i use my normal USB drivers which already has folders containing music. Will the folders display on the screen? or will that only work if i make them in rekordbox

[@digitaldjtips]

It is always best to optimise your tracks for use with Pioneer DJ gear with Rekordbox beforehand.

[@chielversteeg8794]

Waiting for the 'RZ' version which will be an instant buy

[@SuperCemmm]

Did anyone have any problem with the upgraded version of 2.10?? when i had it first time it worked very well with virtual dj8 but as soon as i upgraded it from 1.6 to 2.10 everything collapsed like the head phone does not work,the effect buttons are not functional etc...also XDJ RX mapping not responding whatsoever!!!any help would be appreciated pls,,thanks

[@manualsk8]

Can you help me , i dont know how change the color of the screen

[@WazzyTV]

@Digital DJ Tips..can you use serato and a laptop with this controller..

[@digitaldjtips]

+ken ark The XDJ-RX can be plugged into your laptop to DJ direct, but it's designed as an all-in-one Rekordbox controller, ideally used to remove laptops from the equation (with the exclusion of preparing tracks at home and transporting them via USB), essentially making your laptop your hard drive and larger screen. I'd look into the Pioneer DDJ-SB/DDJ-SB2, DDJ-SZ, DDJ-SR, or DDJ-SX/DDJ-SX2 series for Serato DJ. Hope this helps!

[@g4mmo]

For example if someone uses an usb with just music in folders (but not run with the rekordbox software on a computer ) can you still use it? Hope I made myself clear lol

[@Wombat1290]

Yes but it wont load the waveforms and mostly the bpm is incorrect and you continuously have to adjust the pitch while beatmatching

[@12tribes61]

How does it feel not being able to type tracks?

[@abbysonar9475]

Can u link the usb? Like just using a single pendrive?

[@digitaldjtips]

You can load tracks on 2 decks with a single USB - to do so, press the media select buttons [USB1] or [USB2] to enable browsing in the USB device, and select rotary selector to load the music tracks :)

[@beatsbydrew8930]

[@digitaldjtips]

+MarioN X.e.M Here's a link to our review: www.digitaldjtips.com/2012/12/gemini-cdmp-7000-review-video/

[@MrRobbjr]

Question, How do I turn off the master button, the button that's next to the sync button.

[@digitaldjtips]

You use that to set the track loaded into that deck as the master for beat sync function - whichever track (that has been analysed by Rekordbox) that is played first will automatically be set as the "master", but you can specify which one you want to set by pressing that button (when using sync, one of them has to be the master) Hope that helps!

[@MrRobbjr]

+Digital DJ Tips it did! Thank you

It just looks amazing. Started 2 years ago on a Mixtrack Pro2 with serato with allot of help from your page, really got the hang of it and now its been 5 months playing in local bars with cdjs,,At first it was wierd but really fun, cdjs are just too easy to use, i want something to practice at home and use the mixer/player functions at full capacity at night, will this help me, or would you recommend to save up for the full equipment, its just to expensive IMO and this looks very accesible.

[@danielwallace2032]

Can you use 2 separate usbs at the same time with this?

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes :-)

[@georgekypraios1805]

can you mix if you haven't prepare you tracks???Please answer

[@drop7vogue]

+George Kypraios yep, it's possible, but you will not have the big waveforms, and the "sync" function is not available.

[@akinkunmicook2977]

Great review! I slept on this when it first came out but now I see its strong points! I'm guessing it would be very stable as it's not driven by your laptop, so crashes would probably not happen. The screens (which are essential for me) look great! While not a four channel mixer it is standalone & so are the effects (a big plus)! While expensive it is about the same as a new entry level macbook pro. It is huge but for home use it could work! Possibly I could use the traktor s8 for recordings & this as a backup and for usb/rekordbox gigs.... Hmmm interesting indeed!

[@digitaldjtips]

Definitely! It's solid, here's our full review on it: www.digitaldjtips.com/2015/05/review-pioneer-xdj-rx/ Always good to have a backup just in case (nothing is 100%), but yes, still very solid :)

[@akinkunmicook2977]

Wow! Thanks for the advice! I think I'll stay with my traktor s8 & just up my macbook pro specs. However I would like a backup solution as I have kids and they are getting more "curious!" I was thinking of the traktor z2 with two D2 controllers or f1s... Don't really know but I really like traktor and love screens! Again great review and thanks for the advice! Peace!

[@baluranrainforest2492]

can you make that wave format move little faster looks too slow I'm used to making the waveform a little faster

[@Dj-Jay-C-NJ]

baluran rain forest ...yes you can get one or two tracks playing make sure u can see the wave forms and with the big knob in the middle turn it right or left to change the speed

[@murison4914]

Could you do a comparison with the ddj sz and this, fairly close price range and no one has really talked about them together?

[@digitaldjtips]

Oli Murison That's just the point though, the comparison here is with a pro Pioneer set-up, not Pioneer's Serato controllers. Many people wondered who the DDJ-SZ didn't have Rekordbox compatibility... maybe this was the reason.

[@eshmx]

Does this unit have manual loop adjust?

[@locoxellas]

Is there any new cdj in the same price range like this one?

[@digitaldjtips]

It depends on which features you want. There are no "new" CDJs in this price range, no.

[@juanchis.investigadorsonoro]

Hi again Phil. I just got here again from your fb post. I keep playing with this thing every thursday at the same bar and I still hate it ha. The 1.8 firmware upgrade makes it a bit better, but the soundcard is quite bad. It's extremely basic and I know that Pioneer sold it as a way to get used to a traditional CDJ setup. Still it's way too expensive for what it is. I think this should be as expensive as Quaddeck from Numark. It can be a bit more expensive because it has a big screen, but not AS expensive as it is. Besides if you carry your laptop and gig with Vdj 8, Traktor or Ableton Live it's really hard to setup and too complicated. It's a good gear if you want to start learning, but it really didn't turn around the market. I think the real revolution comes with screens like Xdj-1000 or the MCX-8000. Dj equipment is becoming so expensive and Pioneeer is selling really expensive things without quality. With my experience and taste I think we should really consider that XDJ-1000 doesn't has a Digital Output, that's horrible... or an all in one combo so expensive when you can get something from Numark or Denon cheaper, more versatile and as good. This is another transition gear of Pioneer as T1, S1 and Ddj-ergo. It does not revolution anything.

***** No,but you can still use it on this controller.

[@pkphto8515]

may I ask...how much is a xdj rx

[@digitaldjtips]

About US$1399: www.digitaldjtips.com/reviews/pioneer-xdj-rx/

[@itsDJDannyC]

Just amazing!!! All I can say!!!

[@digitaldjtips]

:D

[@phlip_lip]

How is this unit still holding up in 2020? Because the RX is cheaper than the RX2 even used

[@digitaldjtips]

Hopefully some long term users can chime in and let you know :)

[@agentcarbunkle]

There's only one thing that annoys me about this unit - No wifi to iphone, you have to use a lighting cable, but the cheaper models the aero / r1. Have this function what's that about?

[@digitaldjtips]

+Agent Carbunkle Not sure why exactly, thank you for the feedback though :)

[@georgecostanza3959]

that case. where did you get that case?

[@digitaldjtips]

It's a Magma case :) Something like this (but for the XDJ-RX): www.digitaldjtips.com/2014/06/magma-workstation-flight-case-for-pioneer-ddj-sz/

[@georgecostanza3959]

[@thelaw1984]

Do you HAVE to use rekordbox prepared usb/mp3s with this?

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes, you do :-)

[@thelaw1984]

Thanks for the reply. I had a gig two saturdays back and used this for the first time. Luckily I used rekordbox. The DJ after me didnt so I had to play for an extra half hour!

[@ryanleeg8521]

[@jpnumarkpimenta4638]

[@ducakatinyakascopioakadnll3967]

can you plug a laptop instead of usb sticks?

[@erickfabian8195]

Yes you can, and you can actually plug in your phone or ipad to.

[@hingsing1]

For your iPhone connection, what cable is required? And do the mp3 files have to be on your Music app or can you use something like spotify to queue songs onto the cdj's

[@halo091]

Are there other controllers likes this that have the usb stick future and have a wave length screen? Cheaper too?

[@apsjr1]

sir, can you plug in an external hard drive on to pioneer xdj-rx

[@TheDjelements]

is it heat sensor touch like the ddjsx? cuz i hated the ddj sx

[@digitaldjtips]

+Lance Soto They have DDJ-SX style jogs (the display in centre ring), and are capacitive touch (not mechanical)

[@avscorcher2086]

can you still hookup your laptop?

[@digitaldjtips]

+AV scorcher Yes - though one of its biggest draws is using it without a laptop (all-in-one) - essentially you'd prepare your music at home, transport it via USB, and use the system without the need for a laptop (plug in USB and use the screens). But if you're unsure about using it this way, you can hook it up to your laptop no problem. We describe it in more detail in our full review: www.digitaldjtips.com/2015/05/review-pioneer-xdj-rx/

[@daddylifeitaly]

Hi Phil, just wanna say thanks for the review and the work you are doing. Am always waiting for your videos before actually going to buy new gears. I'll save some money and move to this XDJ-RX. Seems a fair way to lose laptop and "seratoface" !!!

[@digitaldjtips]

Federico Crosato Glad it's helpful, Federico.

[@12tribes61]
