Crossfader can you use a laptop with a CDJ?

[@vannahgraceful4079]

This video is helpful, because I’m planning to buy the DDJ 800

[@househeadspeakz]

Since this video, I was able to take the DDJ 800 to 3 events in Canada. I hooked it up to a mixer as well as on an actual PA system. The sound quality was amazing! For its size, it did the job and those who see it was impressed by it. If you are a DJ who wants a powerful yet portable controller as backup or primary for your events, the DDJ 800 is the one you should get. Begining DJs should upgrade to the 800 instead of the FLX6 for mobile gigs. After 3 years, I still enjoy playing it.

[@tim7828]

is it a good option to be able to play on cdj's in clubs?

[@assassinatingindividual6032]

@@tim7828 This, 400 and the 1000 happen to be pretty close to CDJs in the clubs. So the transition wouldn't be that inconvenient

[@adamfigueroa9269]

Im upgrading from the flx 6 to this 800 i didnt now like the flx six cheaply made i wore it out ina year now my faders and volumes dont work

[@yotaiji012]

I got it for the same reason. The sound quality is so good. And it has thump.

[@househeadspeakz]

Since this video, I upgraded my DDJ 400 to the DDJ 800. I still enjoy playing this controller. Even though I have not taken it out in gigs (because of Covid), I have used it on my online shows and streaming events. I haven't received anything negative and my DJ partner loves playing on it. I am looking forward to tale it on the road when things open up. Even though I will play on Pioneer club-standard CDJs and mixer, I will take as a backup. I recommend this controller over the FLX6

[@atypical_blk_guy]

Would you recommend this as an upgrade to the numark mixtrack platinum fx? I'm just starting out but feel like I'm going to out grow the numark quickly.

[@mysterydpt4663]

Did u get this one as your first? If so, how was it?

[@JasonSpencer55]

I'm a little late coming to this controller (and trying to decide if they will update it early next year). But I have to say that this is probably one of the best reviews on it I've seen yet. Thank you for being so comprehensive in this review!

[@vlim644]

DDJ 800 vs DDJ 1000, which is better for mobile gigs? Your review videos are always the most comprehensive ones!

[@neilswanyofficial6637]

Hey Crossfader, love the video bro! Question: Is the USB port also an input or just to connect to the computer? I want to setup an iRig. So, from what I understand if the question is a no, I assume the signal flow would be: Computer to Focusrite, Focusrite outputs to DDJ 800, DDJ 800 outputs to iRig, iRig outputs to the amp, then amp to speakers. Yes, no? Appreciate the help 🤙

[@Crossfader]

The USB is just a computer connection port and needs to be directly connected. You'd need your path to be Computer to 800, 800 to iRig, iRig to Amp/Speakers. Alternatively you could connect the iRig to the RCA outputs of the 800 and the Amp/Speakers to the XLR's! Hope this helps!

[@lukeiannone6104]

And to all the people saying it’s over priced.... I got this this threw a well know music company for $699 0% interest if you want to finance. For the same price as the SR2 which was what I was going to get, I got this for the same price and I love it. It has way more ability than people think. And the displays are so handy. I would definitely recommend this controller and and like I said. I got it for 200 dollars less easily

[@JimHopper]

Great review, thanks! I am a beginner, so purchased the DDJ-400 and feel I've now outgrown it. I'd like to see a comparison between the 800 and the 1000. I don't see any reason to get the 800 when the 1000 is only a few hundred more, but that comparison would help me decide. Thanks again!

[@FSQofficial]

This was a great demo thanks

[@justyndrum]

Really helpful overview of all the features in the DDJ800. I just got mine today and this was a great guide to get me started. I love my DDJ 800! I think this is the most affordable way to have an almost identical layout to a standard club setup at home for practice and working in Rekordbox. I also have two turntables hooked up to it, and I love that the faders and EQs work for the line/phono inputs as a standalone unit. I often just want to listen to records and it's nice to not have to connect my laptop.

[@seasickvision]

Basically, the DDJ-800 is everything I wanted the DDJ-RR to be...

[@deejaySilence]

I tested both units. Must say i like jog Wheel style of this ddj 800. Wish it had a bigger jogwheel though. With the mechanical jogs there are moving parts which will get loosy after a while. And is noisy while scratching. Wish Pioneer whould get rid of those mechanical jogs

[@ksto9334]

So thorough and organized. Big ups to you for all the work you put into these videos to help our dj game. I’m definitely gunna take your online classes!!

[@Linus-mp4vn]

I don't mind that the mic features isn't what you might've expected, the reason is because if you are using this in a club there is a very high chance that there are a mic plugged in to a mixer and if you are using the ddj 800 at maybe a house party or gathering with friends it does its job well enough imo.

[@juicy_rickys_world3273]

[@ano8392]

I think one questions many people have in mind is whether they should buy the DDJ-800 with DDJ-1000 which is just $300 ahead of it, I’m struggling to buy 800 or 1000 but I’m more tend to 1000 now

[@diskjokk]

BERT I'm in the same boat as you right now Bert. Trying to decide between the 800 or the 1000. I'm leaning more towards the 1000, I think. Still need to do a bit more research before I know for sure.

I keep coming back and looking at this. Current Traktor user… really tempted to move over to rekordbox BUT the loop controls and way you can move around the track in 4/8/16 etc beat ‘chunks’ is something Traktor still beats any pioneer controller at hands down.

[@atypical_blk_guy]

Same here, I'm a serato user but want a portable controller to replace my numark platinum fx. I could get the sr2 but I really like the 800 more.

If Pioneer make a DDJ 450 (400 upgrade) like RB and RR. It's gonna be the best budget DJ Controller. The 800 is absolutely not worth it. A litte money from the 1000 for what? Speakers or headphones?

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

In Australia the DDJ1000 is almost $1000 more expensive than the DDJ800. I own both the 800 as a backup. That's not little money.

[@CRAETION_]

awesome demonstration of the controller and great introduction to Rekordbox! thanks man!

[@klausmogensen8691]

Nice video! It's very much a software dependent controller with no hardware effects and all that. So whereas it'll probably never work with Serato, it almost looks designed with Virtual DJ in mind too (near perfect feature set match), so I'm sure it'll become natively supported with a few other software brands. In other words: You won't necessarily be stuck with Rekordbox if you buy this. You probably just won't be able to use Serato But yes - it should have been $699 like the DDJ-RR, which was the previous semi-pro 2 channel Rekordbox controller

[@Zigla]

Does the tension adjust enhance scratching and make scratch releases tighter when set to or closer to heavy?

You guys mentioned the fader isn't as good for scratching as the one on the DDJ-1000. But I've seen people scratch on it and it seems pretty damn good. Much better than the DDJ-SX I have... any additional thoughts for scratching? Thanks guys!

[@martingru]

From new buyer perspective im kinda disappointed it is more like ddj 1000 there is still gap with nothing between 400 and 1000 and why i have to have laptop connected to use effects on my turntables, i had high hopes for that one imho Pioneer missing the target audience ,someone who potentially looking after ddj400 do not need LCD on jogs ,missed opportunity. i may buy something else now. Nice review.

[@vannahgraceful4079]

I’m thinking about buying the DDJ 800

[@KevinWaters]

Great review! I was considering upgrading to this controller when I heard it was announced but then found out some of the limitations you mentioned with it and that would mean another upgrade down the road. So, I'm leaning more towards just going for the DDJ-1000 as it will have the 4-channels and won't have the limitations that are present in the DDJ-800

[@rupakmajumdar9959]

Kevin Waters yeah it really sucks that you can’t use the mixer effects in stand alone without s laptop

[@jasperdiscovers]

so in all honesty, would you buy this or save more for the DDJ-1000?

[@justinknash]

When a track is near ending, does the jog wheel indicate that by flashing like cdj?

[@mr.honesty5115]

It definitely does

[@djfocus4018]

Great video!!! I was wondering ....when I open Sample mode (on either player) and add a sample, will i have access to use the platter to scratch that same sample when queued (or presses) ? Or is the sample only manipulated by turning the volume on it up and down?

@crossfader : I don’t understand the problem you had on the DVS part. The DVS worked perfectly for me ( I test with Rekordbox DJ record or Phase ). And did you see that you can apply some PAD FX on a regular turntable/cd input ?

[@breezyproduction]

Coucou toi 😂😉

[@Crossfader]

Like we said we may be just doing something wrong but it didn’t respond how we expected. Set it up exactly the same as normal with DVS. We will have to continue testing. Did you have it on relative mode?

[@DJSTUFF]

In my mind it was in relative for the DVS, and in the video I played hotcues so it must be relative, yes.

[@Timmy4231]

Thanks for the review.. when this dropped I was hella curious.. now I'm stoked being a ddj-rb owner.. looks like a natural progression to the 800.. instead of going to the holy grail of the 1000

[@charles-andrerichard491]

Dude de 800 is way too high price imo just save up a little more and get the 1000

[@ricardomeireles9422]

I bought my Ddj RR last month, should change for ddj800???

[@lumitronhd9382]

Hmmmm In my opinion it kinda depends on how important the Club layout is to you, because the DDJ 800 defenitely got a more Club like Layout. But with the DDJ 800 you loose some Features of the RR like the Sequencer for example... Of course you get some more new Features like CFX all the Key Shifting and Syncing things and the Displays in the Jogs. But the most important part is the Price. Espacially if you got your RR last month I think the DDJ 800 is just to expensive. My Recommendation would be to use the RR and if you get that good that you have to be able to use the CFX and 4 Decks for example, buy the DDJ 1000. Thats the Gear I use and its pretty good. Then you got CFX, 4 Decks, Displays in the Jogs, the Magvel Fader and things like that. Just save the Money for the DDJ 800 and buy a DDJ 1000 later if you need more features. I hope I helped you with that. If you got some more questions just text me via Instagram ( @lumitrn )

[@СергейНиколаевич-ъ5ы]

NO! RR looks much better :))

[@davidmartinez927]

I'm on the 400. Am really used to the beat loop function on the 2nd pad. Easy access. Now its a shift-pad function? its the MAIN thing I use for club DJing. For looping the end of tracks to give me plenty of mixing time. 32 beat loops. If I use the loop on and off buttons up top they stop flashing after 1 bar. This is SHIT. Far out, I am upgrading but am now thinking of non-pioneer options.

[@fokisensei]

What do you think? Is this controller still a good choice? The DDJ FLX6-GT is missing a few features and the DDJ-FLX10 is too expensive, so there's not really much choice given that Pioneer hasn't updated this product.

[@shari_8410]

I own still the DDJ 1000 , even when there's already a ''Upgrade'' Version called FLX10 .. But in Terms of using the new Stem Functions i just remap some unused Knobs and Pad Mode for having that new ''FLX10'' Features ... But in all other Terms like the standalone Mixer , Color Fx , etc i highly recomend to get a 2nd Hand DDJ 1000 over the DDJ 800 with his negative Limitations , If the FLX 10 is too expensive for you . ( Even if this Unit have some nice upgraded Features that i miss a bit on my DDJ 1000 to be honest ( of course they could add this little Things with a Firmware Update on the DDJ 1000 , such as showing the 3 Band Waveform on the JOG Display or showing the Artwork etc I'm sure they could add that still to the DDJ-1000 with a FW Updfate but as the DDJ -1000 is already a Dino Controler for Pioneer i've lost my hope for that . But anyway , there are also a bunch of Features that Pioneer still not apply on the new FLX 10 which should fit more in the new Pioneer Club Standard Corner ,, such as a Sound Coler Parameter Knob but they add 6 CFX now on the FLX 10 but still no Parameter Knob 🤦‍♂🙄 for me thats an Essential Software Thing which should be a solid Control Feature on a Rekordbox Essential Midi Controller Unit or it should be possible to just midi map that Knob BUT NO you just can't do that what a shame ... , So No background lighting SHIFT Button same fail as on the DDJ 1000, 800, 400 etc .. very unpracticeable at dark environments 🤦‍♂, No Pitch Fader 0 % green Light , .etc etc ... So try too get a 2nd Hand DDJ 1000 instead :)

[@nachiketa3629]

I was deciding between the two and picked a used 800 in good condition simply because Traktor software is reportedly (mainly via various Reddit chats) isn’t as good at analyzing non-electronic music as well hearing rumors the company may not be as invested in the software as Pioneer with Rekordbox.

Could care less about the performance pads though, would much rather prefer needle search strips on the top.

I’ve been using a DDJ WeGO 4 as a beginner for quite a while now and I feel that I’m ready to make the next step up. Would you recommend the DDJ 400 first or jump straight on to the DDJ 800?

DDJ 800 definitely

[@vannahgraceful4079]

I’m going to buy the DDJ 800

Super helpful video!

What about using the slicer mode? How do you get that set up?

[@lwpweb]

maybe the only differentiator maybe the audio interface. But using a notebook for music you gernerally are already equiped with an high level audio interface.

Can anyone help? Recently purchased the 800, and feeling my way around, was playing around with cue points - how do I reset the analysed cue points back to default that rekordbox added when it analysed a song? Cheers in advance
