CDJ-3000 vs CDJ-2000NXS2 - Is it worth it? (FEATURE SUPER TEST)

[@DjRavine]

Also make sure you download the latest firmware. I just updated and it's increased the screen refresh rate even more and fixed some link problems I was having on stream. UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE!!!!

[@DjRavine]

Btw I forgot to talk about screen responsiveness. It feels snappier than the NXS2 but still resistive touch with the same screen material. Cotts mentioned it’s possibly because people have drinks, sweaty fingers etc while DJing as moisture causes capacitive screens to become unresponsive or glitchy.

CDJs are just a buncha players. You know they all hook up with Miss DJM-V10. She's all about the back-to-back tag-team cueing. Hooks up with six players at a time. And she's down for Multi I/O ... inserted on any channel. Nasty AF.

[@coolxy2]

not my proudest fap but it's industry standard

[@m-stat9]

Over 17000$ for a full V10+CDJ setup. Peanuts even for festivals right during/after Corona. Right? Btw This 'industry standard' argument is getting booring. Nokia had been industry standard as well. Oooops...

I'm one of those people who rest their hands on the bottom of the CDJs when using the Jogwheels...so I very much appreciate the Hot Cues being on the top.

I would be really nervous about my wrist touching the jog wheel when pressing the hotcues

[@maus3454]

The MPU is actually the NXP iMX processor, which is an ARM Cortex CPU running a special addition of Ubuntu Linux OS, which was introduced with the RX, RX2, RR and XZ. The NXS2 uses a TI DSP chip with it own firmware. That explains the faster boottime of the 2000. The 3000 is mostlikely multicore, where XDJs are single core.

[@Moonrakerd]

a raspberry pi can analyse tracks, this bucket of magnificence cant and costs like a used car, I really want for denon to finally get the jogs and buttons right as this is not progress

[@VoyageOne1]

Undoubtedly the biggest issue the CDJ-3000 has is that the XDJ-XZ exists and is $200 cheaper. I've decided on Denon PRIMEs

[@Odyseuss08]

So its not an issue as if people buy the XZ they still can sell their 5 year old outdated parts for a lot of money! :D

[@VoyageOne1]

Exactly!! There's no additional cost benefit buying a 3000 over the XZ

To be honest not sure how many of these Pioneer will sell but let me tell you lots of clubs and big festivals still play on CDJ not even the NXS 2. Sometimes I'm thinking why? Not worth it the upgrade?

[@bratkax]

People are hating on the hot cue buttons' placement. But to be fair it's just a matter of getting used to it. In my opinion, placing them near the screen and just under the waveform seems more logical and fluid, so I like it.

[@LLemm-gh8bb]

Intro is still fire xD

[@niterida380]

Pioneer is going to sell a lot of these? Not meant for the consumer but for clubs that aren’t open which already have the 2000 Nexus/Nexus 2 installed.

[@DanielEstrada-nr1pb]

Can you preview tracks on the Nx2 like the Rx3 & 3000 without loading it in?

Can the CDJ 3000 connect to Amazon music or Spotify when you put the USB in as it should connect to your area?

Personally, I wouldn't mind having 3000's . Wish the pads were down the bottom though. I guess they did that for anyone leaning on the decks and press a hot cue point

I don’t fell touching that screen so much that is is going to last or even look good for long. Unless maybe they come out with a screen protector like an Apple phone I see it having blemishes on it and scratches real soon. That is my worries.

Made my mind up on the 3000’s then - i would love your opinion on the V10 vs the DJM900NXS2 mixer as a purchase with CDJ3000’S. i have 4 x original 2000’s and a 900nxs1 mixer and couldn’t decide which route to go - at least i’m convinced on buying 4 x 3000’s.

[@jamesrbrindle]

Cole Krueger i don’t own an oil company i’ve saved, have stuff I can sell and own 4 original 2000’s which i’ll offload in the process which will net back around 4000 GBP towards the 10000 needed. This coronabullshit thing has affected my work but also helped me save for things as i’ve no travel and other expenses other than home which i’d normally blow any spare cash on. I couldn’t see the sense in getting NXS2 now after seeing this and many other reviews.

[@DJFITME]

Same i didnt like sc6000 at all.

[@dominickd16]

what didn't you like about the denons?

[@DJFITME]

@@dominickd16 Heres my take on sc6000: I have used CDJs over 9 years, last year i sold my nxs2 setup and couple weeks ago i buyed denon setup (sc6000 &x1850). Heres my honest review : The platter is not great on sc6000 if you have dry hands its super slippery really hard to spin without lots force at higher tension setting. The tension adjust makes the jog wheel just feel like its sticking its not smooth like on cdj. Also jog wheel wobbles little bit you can feel it and my other jog wheel is faulty, the tension doesnt make much difference and makes bad sound when spinning. Hot cues are rubber and feel way harder to finger drum than pioneer plastic buttons and some people rest hands under the jog wheel yep thats me. Also i have muscle memory for cueing tracks with pioneer style and with sc6000 it doesnt work same way that was extremely frustrating. The touch screen response could be better sometimes had to press couple times the same thing. Its stupid that theres no different values for loop and beat jump, its all the same so if you want to have 32 beat beat jump and 4 bar loop settings you cant. No different waveform colors. No touch bar counter. No track filttering like on cdjs just really basic way it filters just your whole collection in order. Some positives points Tempo fader feels amazing just like vinyl fader. The actual body build quality is nice. Big screen easy to read, could be brighter tho. dual layer awesome. SSD slot awesome. But all those bad things makes not great DJ experience for ME and thats why they go back and i stay on pioneer. Dont get me wrong SC6000 is awesome specially if you never used CDJ. But for long time CDJ user its not great. Also it is so funny to see these people comment SC6000 is pioneer killer pioneer is shit etc.. 90% them never tryed both gear. oh yeah and the x1850 we dont need to talk about it was disaster mayby worst mixer i have ever used in my whole career.

[@dominickd16]

@@DJFITME good points. I feel like the vast majority on youtube don't even own the denon and just say they are better because of what they see on specs. Pioneer is leading because of software and quality. My most recent pioneer purchase was the djm v10 and i am very happy with it. I will look into these CDJ's more as I still own 2 2000 nexus 1's
