Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ vs DDJ-1000 - Which 4 channel Rekordbox controller is best for you?

[@mr.honesty5115]

Ddj 1000 personally for me as a mobile Dj who works every weekend. Both are beast but I prefer to go lighter not heavier. Keep in mind I have a pro x case for my DDj 1000 I can’t image how heavy this big boy is in a hard case.

[@RobVice]

I can’t decide. I am still newbie and been mixing on DDJ400 which is a nice little controller but I want to get 4-channels and start preparing for club play. I like XDJ because it’s pretty much your typical Nexus setup and I can practice playing with USBs, with a standalone screen and all that jazz. What I don’t like about XDJ is that it’s bulky as hell and costs almost twice as much as DDJ1000 while not really differing much. I mostly mix and practice at home and I like the laptop setup but I feel like I’d be missing out on standalone practice if I’d go with DDJ1000 and it could mess me up in the club environment, at least for the first few gigs. Someone mentioned that I can get a new laptop (which I need) and DDJ1000 for the price of XZ which honestly seems like a way better deal. But I am also afraid of messing it up on real Nexus setup and not knowing if I’d like to move to standalone in the future. We are talking about a 3-5 year investment with this purchase, so that’s why it’s so hard to decide. What do you guys think, which option is better and how can I prepare the best for club play?

[@pumpkin1escobar]

IMO its probably best to get the ddj-1000 and get a few sessions with the cdj somewhere else.

[@KCBRYAN_1525]

The ddj1000 is good enough for any type of djing.Yes, the other unit look’s good.but I think it’s good to get to use the rekordbox software and master it .because you still have to use it with the xz anyway when it comes to music.or using the 4 channels.if money was not the problem I would get the full pioneer set up for my bedroom.but money is a problem for me so I have to be realistic in my thinking.it is what it is lol

[@pbubu313]

@@KCBRYAN_1525 I had a full DJ setup with 4 CDJ 2000 NXS and 900NXS2, sold it all for 10k bought the XDJ for 2k.. Don't miss my full setup at all, the XDJ way easier to transport and hookup, than 2 flight cases and a mixer bag plus cables.

[@ikesrecords5835]

Something that is not mentioned in the video and that I think is relevant is that, by being more similar to the CDJs usually used in clubs, the XDJ is possibly a better "training ground" for a DJ practicing at home in preparation for gigs? Just a thought. Would be great to hear people's views.

[@777BobbyJ]

Been a Traktor controller user since 2006...... I thought the same as you......XZ is the better home option if you play out in clubs.

[@nofood1]

yes cause in the club you play off USBs

[@SianTube]

It’s exactly why I take a look for this xz but I’m not sure we can use it in real 4decks reakorbox. I didn’t see a switch deck on it where ddj1000 have it. Can we switch easily for deck 1 to 3 and 2 to 4 ?

Both controllers are really good, but despite being a bit pricey, I think the XDJ edges out against the DDJ by being a standalone controller. You can also use it with both rekordbox and serato.

[@RathOX]

DDJ 1000 + intel nuc (Windows 10) + 13” external touch display = better All in one than the XZ tbh Can add a 2nd display as well on rekordbox. If you wanted.

[@djstretchtone9851]

I like your line of thinking. Do you have ideas or a link that would show how to use the best DJ laptop stand up above the DDJ 1000 ?? I'm wanting to make it a above board instead of an on board screen. But up high enough where I can almost see it different to my face if need be as my eyes age lol. itd be on the left side but not quite in the way of the left jog wheel. I just want to keep a little bit of room to where I can see the board from up above and allow someone to scratch if need be.

[@djstarsomatic8068]

Best review comparison I've seen, really thoughtful. I am still confused, however now it's less about should I upgrade to the Z from my 1000 it's figuring out do I really want to venture into standalone or am I satisfied with using my laptop where the 1000 is more feature rich and integrated.

[@djkit]

That's the big kicker really. You need to decide if you want to move away from the laptop or not!

[@cberigan1]

It's better to not have a laptop. lol

[@DJ_CJ_NL]

Laptop just gives you more on the fly options. For example doing requests is easier.

[@djandrewblossom]

@@DJ_CJ_NL yeah i mean for music requests even with a stand alone like this one with 4 channels on the mixer you can use one of the free channel to plug in an rca/aux cable and plug in your phone/tablet to put requests from spotify if you need and you can use fx on that channel so even the transition will be smooth

[@pbubu313]

Still a valid comparison since there is nothing new that really compares in the Pioneer product line with full size jog wheels. Something not really mentioned is that you can run standalone off one or two USBs, you can use the Pro DJ Link with Rekordbox in Link Export, and you can use USB for Controller Mode with Rekordbox Performance so you have 4 ways to play music and transition between DJs if need be, we have rotated between 3 DJs this way without a single issue. I use my XDJ also with two XDJ 1000MK2, using the built in ethernets so i can have 4 decks all sharing the same USB or laptop with Rekordbox link export. The XDJ hands down is better if you want more options playing in different settings, vs strictly using a laptop. Also every have your laptop crash, or battery die, and having USB Flash drive as a backup to play music can save your party. For the mixer section there is no comparison, XDJ easily wins, just the x-pad alone and engaging effects by pushing or sliding your finger on the x=pad makes it easy to add effects to your mix. If was limited on space or need portability with a controller that has full size jog wheels DDJ all day. But I wanted a rig that mirrors a club setup or wanted to play standalone and not have to stare at a laptop to search for me next track XDJ hands down, its a beast.

[@SLIC3R2]

Haha adding to the laptop crashing, some dj’s may forget, laptops heat up quickly in direct heat which gives standalone units the edge

[@pbubu313]

@@SLIC3R2 I agree and i still personally don't use controllers because i hate using a laptop to play music. But if you are using Beatport Link, you can access an entire library of music to play vs having to buy/download and prep tracks. I would never do that for a gig but for just making mixes sure why not.

[@Ziggy_v2]

In the the U.S. the DDJ-1000 is $1,200 vs the DDJ-XZ which is $2,300 - so $1,100 to use a 2channel USB standalone.

Great video. I'm trying to decide between these two units. I'm an old school DJ...I've had the same 1200s since the 90’s and they're still set up in my loft. It has been an internal battle for me for evolve into this digital world...i bought CDJ1000s kicking and screaming. My question is: how good is the waveform view on the XZ? I just used rekordbox on my laptop for the first time ever today...first time seeing a waveform while I was mixing. Pretty neat. How does the visual experience compare from the XZ to a laptop? Thanks!

[@EDM4INFINITY]

As someone who gigs weekly on an XZ, the waveform view is pretty damn good. As long as you analyze your crates properly and ensure your beat grids are quantized and in order it works like a charm. You also have the option using the knob on the side of the screen to zoom in and out of the waveform which really comes in handy.

i hope Pioneer brings a new DDJ 2000 someday with the Features that the XDJ-XZ have .and the full Controll for Rekordbox dj as already with the DDJ 1000 :) i was owning a ddj 1000 for a short amount of time but i had to resell it again sadly :( , but i would be struggling now on which from both i should chose now :) when i would make the plan to buy a dj controller from Pioneer again . in my opinion the XDJ-XZ looks more like the state of the Art Clubstandard CDJ and DJM Set and have almost the same replica Features from ,where the DDJ 1000 is Looking unique a bit and i guess its a Mix of CDJs and DJM 700 Mixer .

No the ddj1000 is identical almost to cdj2000s and a djm800 mixer.

[@HumanAfterAll101]

So I'm a producer who's in the market to start getting into the Pioneer ecosystem. I'm just messaging to make sure I make the proper purchase. I've been looking at the XZ and it seems to check the bases but I want to verify since I'm not too familiar with all the in's and out's of their system. I'm looking for something to practice on at home and that will transfer directly into using other flagship Pioneer setups. The XZ seems to be that am I correct? I just want something that gives me 90% of the functionalities at half the cost so when I step into a professional booth or stage that I'm not lost up there trying to figure anything out. I want to be able to throw the USB's in and just play.

[@spiritlevelstudios]

Yeh me too. The XZ is the one for that. Just need to sort music files in Rekordbox software before loading them to USB to get full functionality with BPM, cue points etc.

[@Ezz3y]

What about the sound card? Do they have the same sound card?

[@MrGB1999]

Seeing as most clubs will simply have a 2 CDJ + mixer set up, I can't understand why anyone would favour a midi controller (unless purely for fun / parties.. And even then you're going to be hauling a laptop on top of the DDJ so it'll be near enough the same bulk) 🤷🏻‍♂️. The XDJs do a pretty good job of simulating the club default set up (for far less money)

Is Pioneer going to release an XDJ-XZ MKII in the near future. Something perhaps that has an updated screen like the Prime 4?

There really needs to be a Pioneer DDJ-800SRT for those of us who use Serato and have no use for 4 channels, I do not want to pay the extra money for 2 channels I would never use and the extra size 4 channels require does not appeal as it makes the unit less portable. If Pioneer can make a 1000SRT it probably would not be difficult to produce the 800 Serato version and offer a wider product range.

I still say the XZ is an oversize and overpriced version of a 2 channel stand-alone. The Prime 4 is a TRUE 4-channel stand-alone. Pioneer dropped the ball with the XZ. If I want a 4 channel stand-alone, that is what I should be paying for. Even though the DDJ 1000 is a controller that needs a laptop, the 2 features for me stand out above the XZ. 1. it is a 4-channel controller. 2 you can use 2 laptops at the same time. If you are a DJ who travels and uses a controller for gigs, having 2 USB ports is awesome. As long as the other DJ has Rekordbox software, you both can do a tag set using your tracks in RB. That's a game-changer. If I decide to buy a stand-alone, I would choose the Pioneer RX3. As far as 4-channel controllers, I would upgrade my DDJ 800 to the DDJ 1000 so I can learn how to play with 3 or 4 decks.

Pioneer have no need to make a 4 channel standalone. Denon are playing catch-up and trying to gain market share hence why they are putting all the bells and whistles into their P4.

Maybe Pioneer should contact apple and work on Size efficiency. I bet they could make it the size of a ipad. Pioneer wants ya to buy a truck to lug the controller around.

DDJ 1000 with a Surface Pro still a better deal.

[@Ronniezim]

That’s exactly what I would do over the standalone unit.

[@gordonm10]

Why a surface pro?

[@DeejayWilly]

one of the main things that made me hate the 1000s s the build quality. its so plasticy and i never seen a dj who own one has is still without any issue or defect or dents all around

[@robcooper4730]

Avoid the 1000 for you want to play real vinyl the sound quality on the phono channels is shocking bad, so much I sold my unit.

[@iuzic2]

I notice my self this problem, old DJM 600 mixer sound is more great on phono input.

[@echno4727]

You probably didnt change the output at the back, common mistake, I changed it and the sound is perfect.

[@iuzic2]

@@echno4727 What do you mean about "output change"?

[@echno4727]

@@iuzic2 At the very back of the DDj1000 right beside where you put in your RCA cables there is a little slide button on channel one and four for phono/line, flip it to phono- (its not the ones on the main controller btw its at the very back right beside the rca ports. loads of people miss it.

The only downside of the XDJ-XZ it doesn't have the sampler.

[@djkit]

Yea, that's a shame, but you can always add in the DDJ-XP2!

[@jackgraff2016]

Can’t help but to be disappointed in Pioneer squeezing useless product mixes out of existing technology already on the market. Stop ripping off your DJs. XZ is a blatant slap in the face. Garbage

[@FunnyAsian00]

xdj needs to be connected to laptop to use 4 channels..... that defeats the purpose no?

[@djkit]

I wouldn't say it defeats the purpose, more that the XZ has capabilities for both USB and laptop use.

[@Therealwaweezy]

Did they do coke before this?

[@djkit]

No, but we did have a few glasses of Pepsi Max.

[@kierenmoore3236]

Before? No … … … … …

[@Lordblanca]

Xdj very limited. Won't play Traktor and virtual Dj. The 1000 will play Taktor Virtual Dj and rekord box. If they where looking to put the nexus II set up in a controller. They missed the mark

[@djkit]

You can play timecode vinyl using the XZ's standalone mixer if you have the correct audio interface!

[@oddrealmrecordst.v.1846]

Ddj 1000 can't live stream via USB, u need a soundcard👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

The DDJ-1000 has a sound card?
