Pioneer DJ CDJ-2000NXS2 Talkthrough Video

[@koreanfriedchildren]

I haven't been interested in DJ gear for many years and just took a squiz at this randomly. My god, it looks so good. Finally does so much of the stuff I wished it did before

[@digitaldjtips]

Powerful stuff 👌

[@ricflomusic]

great video needed this after going from ddj400s to playing with cdj-2000s for the first time in Pirate studios yesterday

[@Djtonydraper]

A great in-depth look into these players. Thanks so much for sharing guys. I truly appreciate all the time & energy you put into your videos.

[@digitaldjtips]

We appreciate all the time and energy you spend watching the videos and contributing to the discussion, it's awesome. Thanks Tony!

[@GHOST-ig6bi]

I love Pioneer but I like my laptop more.. as long as my decks do their job, I am happy. This wont be cheap even in 2022. It is a expensive piece of equipment and necessarily sophisticated and because it is, it is very expensive. Instead of this, what I did was invested in a Gamer Laptop and Serato software. Works wonders and looks much better in terms of track-monitoring and playlists

[@andrewbrook431]

Why do people want this superb Pioneer gear to work with Traktor!!? Rekordbox rocks!!

[@digitaldjtips]

Rekordbox is great, but some users are coming from Traktor and don't want to start over, or they prefer the functionality :)

[@3ricMusic]

Do you need djing software with a CDJ and mixer? I thought you could use it without them, and wouldnt that be easier?

[@frankygers]

I've not DJ'd in years. :ast decks i used were the CDJ 800's. I'm DJing in Thailand next month. Obviously i'll use USB's for new tracks. But being able to take my CD's with house classics and still being able to use them on these decks is good. Cheers for the tips gents. But someone like me all i need, is cue, start and pitch control. The rest is way above my station haha

[@digitaldjtips]

Cheers Franky :)

[@danielbrown1724]

Might wanna transfer to USB mate. CD's skip and there's nothing worse than CD skips during a set 😳

Agreed. I just got into DJing, but there is so much extra shit. KISS you know?

[@digitaldjtips]

As long as you promise to send us a copy when you're finished 😆

[@introvertkurt1622]

For those saying you can't afford this set. Find out if your local music store offers to finance. Save up a couple grand for a down payment, and then pay the rest off (with most finance options) by 1,2,3, or 4-year terms. If you want DJ'ing to be a side income or full-time job, take some money from your gig payments and put more money down per month or every month that you seem fit. Just be smart with your money. Though I must say, don't grab this whole set-up if you're just in your bedroom with no dreams of doing gigs and potentially making money DJing, it would be a big waste of money...only because you won't be seeing the return of investment. It's never bad to invest in yourself and your career.

[@digitaldjtips]

Agree with you on both points! For most people, this is overkill for home use.

The CDJs are so awesome, I been thinking to get 2 of those and a DJM mixer, and that's for both my home sets, which I hadn't done yet, and the occasional events. I also wanted to be an masked DJ for My best family member when she's get married, if she will ever get married. P.S: It will be an surprise. 😉

[@Tonyromeo1970]

Great video thanks... Would you be able to make a video showing how it's all connected and works with RB DJ? Is it all connected with USB's in HID mode? Can you still connect everything with ethernet cables to your computer with RB and drag and drop your music from RB onto the CDJ's on the bottom? Do you loose information or the waveform on the cdj when your connected to RB DJ? I have the NXS MK1 CDJ's and that's how I use it with my DJM 2000 Nexus as the HUB. Thanks in advanced.

[@dsquareddan]

+DJ Tony Romeo yes, you can still do the ethernet connection to laptop for Rekordbox. there is still a 5th "Cue" button on the mixer to preview tracks on laptop before they are loaded in decks. I've not seen anyone test it with Rekordbox DJ, but I do know they are "fully supported". So I imagine waveform information is shown. I doubt they'd launch their top of the line gear without all the features supported

[@digitaldjtips]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about the set up on this CD DJ. I bet they’re not cheap and so much stuff on there ✅ incredible and interested in buying one when I have the money This the revolution of the new DJs , o.k I did not know these have been around for 20 years and certainly beat carrying heavy vinyl case to your gigs lol But it always good to have back up just in case something goes wrong

[@digitaldjtips]

I have a question. can the search feature in search in specific playlist. for example search for a specific song in "hip hop" playlist

[@digitaldjtips]

+Mac Joseph Great question, 11:17 goes more in depth with the playlist search filters - not so much "song name", but key, BPM, rating, etc :)

[@bboymac84]

+Digital DJ Tips not a huge gripe but as long as I can search music by typing. It's just faster to search in specific playlist, similar to Traktor.

[@seasickvision]

I'm hoping to buy this players before Pioneer DJ comes out with their (rumored) new 2000 player. I heard it might not have a CD player. So this might be the very last CDJ to be released by Pioneer DJ...

It wouldn't surprise me if the CD players were removed

[@boothbuster]

[@Reticuli]

Still with the jog bend dead zone and that shitty 0.5 pitch increment on Wide. They also continue to have problems reading drives for very long and jumping into an emergency loop.

[@justinjohnson476]

Can't say I've ever had issues with cdj850, cdj900nxs and xdj1000mk2 not reading drives after long play. And I've done 8+ hours without drive issues. Perhaps your drives were the issue?

[@TheNuclearDust]

I played on CDJ-2000's for the first time about 2 days ago and i couldn't figure something out. I expected to see a bigger waveform (since i only saw the one at the bottom which shows your complete waveform) and i got annoyed that i couldn't beat match any of my tracks because i couldn't see the first beat and had to do it by ear. Now my question is: Is the bigger waveform on the LED screen only a nexus option or did i miss something?

[@nothinguploaded]

+RephleX just learn to beatmatch by ear :/

[@TheNuclearDust]

By the time i find the first beat of the 2nd track, the first track is already gonna be halfway through. No can do, time is precious in music that spins at 180 bpm.

[@TheNuclearDust]

***** Aight, thanks for giving me a solid answer.

[@ObscureMachines]

"I had to do it by ear" I loled...DJing with sound? NAAAAAAA

[@zolawilliams1]

Great walk through. Thank you

[@digitaldjtips]

No problem :)

[@diegokravetz9469]

what about the shadow over the waveform? is not 100% clear.

[@3ricMusic]

I have a question on djing, as youll probably be able to tell by this question so im new to djing, so ill try and explain what i mean as clearly as possible. Basically, is there a way to hear the next song youre going to mix in only in the headphones im using without playing it outloud. Say for example i want to start a song half way through, like at the drop, taking out the verse and buildup. I was wondering if there is a way to do this and check through the headphones only? I know you can check on the visualiser thing, but is it possible to do this just in the headphones and how would you do this. I hope it makes sense :)

[@digitaldjtips]

Hey Eric! Absolutely, you can listen to tracks quietly in your headphones. Do you mean on the CDJ2000NXS2 specifically or in general?

[@3ricMusic]

***** no, just in general, but on this CDJ, how would you do it, and is it similar with other CDJs and controllers?

[@digitaldjtips]

It's a fairly similar process across most gear - you'll find these features on the mixer (or the mixer section of a controller). For the mixer that goes with this - the Pioneer DJ DJM-9000NX2, you'd do this using the Headphones section in the bottom left of the mixer, along with pressing Cue underneath whichever channel you're pre-listening/hearing in your headphones. Essentially the fader for that channel would be down with the cue button selected, and you could use the volume knob in the headphones section to hear the track without it being live. Once you raise the upfader for that channel, the track will be live. We go over the features for that mixer here: www.digitaldjtips.com/2016/03/review-video-pioneer-dj-djm-900nxs2-mixer/

[@3ricMusic]

***** thank you very much!!!

[@seasickvision]

I wish I could win a pair of CDJ 2000 NXS2s

[@ARCASIAUK]

Hi i need to update my 2 cdj 2000 nexus 2. The firmware currently says ver 1.3 on both players and at the moment I cannot link the two together do dj. I have downloaded the firmware from online and I need to update both players. I'm using rekordbox dj to perform from my laptop so don't need usbs. However, it seems as though the only way to update the firmware on the cdjs is to use a usb ?? hope you can help Thanks

[@digitaldjtips]

I'd suggest trying to get help direct from the company (Pioneer) - here's a link to a page where we list all the main forums and support sites: www.digitaldjtips.com/3rd-party-support/ Good luck!

[@alexsauber]

you can only update the cdj via usb, it's fairly easy. and as ddt mentioned pioneer has a good forum, where pioneer techs answer pretty quick.

[@komakino0]

Just trying to learn CDJs as I my skills are overlooked as being a laptop DJ. Now please let me know how this is any different than laptop djing with all these buttons and functions. I even have less stuff on my controllers:P LOL

[@digitaldjtips]

Hardly different at all really. It's not about the gear you use but the tracks you play! :-)

[@91alarms24]

could you use the jogwheel to bring the beats back and forward with that master clock?

[@DreyLubin]

[@danielbrown1724]

😳

[@jaydee7179]

Are the CDJ's compatible with Serato DJ? Or is recordbox just a better software for organizing the music beforehand?

[@digitaldjtips]

You can use them with Serato DJ in HID mode - Rekordbox makes a lot of sense if you want to use flash drives to play directly on the CDJs w/ no software :)

[@numarkmontalban5413]

im using Pioneer CDJ 2000nxs2 and DJM-2000,is it possible for me to use HID mode for serato?thanks!

[@danshiver1128]

hey phil, i have an issue with random looping when i scratch and/or move the platter to cue up. also, the sound cuts off unless i hold the needle search. do u have any ideas on how i can fix this? i have cdj 2000s.

[@gunchief0811]

can u run Serato software on these deck's as well? or is it pure Rekord box only? and what's the break down of the current price point of the decks and that mixer? how much does this set up weigh? and are there accessories for them like Travel cases? mike inputs? Skins? how do u maintain them? /cleaning? whats the warranty cover? why didn't you demo scratching? whats the size dimensions? do u guys work for Pioneer? or Rekord box? are they having you guys get paid to promo their gear? so are we getting your "UNBIASED" opinion as professional D.J's? or is it that you guys are bought and paid for as Popular you-tube channel hosts that will get many views and therefore influence many so ya'll get PAID! to speak on this stuff without any con's it seemed like all PRO's and ZERO con's

[@digitaldjtips]

Blimey, so many questions Bryan! No, they don't "run" any software, they work with Rekordbox libraries which need to be analysed on a laptop to unlock all the feature. that said they will work with Serato in HID or DVS set-ups, but you have to take your laptop along to do that. All prices are in the written reviews. There are no mic inputs on the CDJs, no. No we don't work for or have any affiliation with the companies that make the products we review, we're completely independent (e are a DJ school).

Do you still need to connect a laptop with the sp-1 ? Or can you connect it directly to your cdj's ?

[@digitaldjtips]

+ForFuts It's USB bus powered so it needs to be connected to your laptop and work with Serato DJ

[@dj-peterofficial2753]

@@digitaldjtips Noooo :) , on the NXS2's and the XDJ-1000Mk2's you can connect the SP-1 to one of the USB-port on one of the players and give you pad control over all the 8 hot cue's on both decks. The sacrifice is you'll only have 1 usb port left for music, but of course, on the NXS2's theres also the SD-slots to use.

+Dj DoDo The XDJ 1000 is a nice alternative - the NXS2 system is definitely intended for serious pro use :) Here's our full opinion on this: www.digitaldjtips.com/2016/03/review-video-pioneer-dj-cdj-2000nxs2-multi-player/

[@pikherz]

+Dj DoDo I think CDJ 800 or 850 and a Xone mixer in HID with a RGB pad controller for cues and an external effect section is still the best value for money!

[@todedragos]

800 & 850 don't support HID

[@mariopandza]

No key sync, no countdown to cue point, in a player that costs €2300! Wow... And you still need an external controller to access all 8 hotcue points at a time. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dsquareddan]

+Mario Pandža Rekordbox shows you which keys are compatible on the players. And you can filter it to only show compatible keys. it also has countdown to cue point on the beat grid count at the top of the player, if you've set memory/cue points in the track. and I mean, yea you gotta press one button to access the other 4 cues, but I don't see that as a deal breaker. How often are you juggling 8 different cue points at the same time that you can't press a single button to switch between half of them?

[@mariopandza]

D-Squared Fair enough for the cue points, not juggling that often between all 8 cue points, but something I rely on is adjusting the pitch in +/- 1 increments to change the key (I'm using Traktor), I believe Serato has that as a pitch lock feature so that it automatically changes the pitch for you in case in differs from the track being played.

[@happilyconfuseddog8951]

There's always been a key sync, its called master tempo, its right above the pitch fader. Keep it lighted up to keep the tracks default key when shifting the pitch

[@happilyconfuseddog8951]

But yeah, controllers are more powerful xd. And djing with ableton is more powerful than a controller xd xd

[@dsquareddan]

They should really ship them with Digital Coax cables instead of RCA. i mean cmon. they're touting these as superior sound quality, keep the signal digital the whole way through to the DSP for best S/N ratio. You literally cannot clip the channels (not the master, the channels) when you have digital inputs due to the 32bit floating point D/A (literally, try it, the clip indicator lights will not light up no matter how much you go into the red with digital inputs, yes I know red is bad. just explaining a point). it's 2016 and they still ship with RCA

[@alexsauber]

i asked myself the same. they offer digital in/out in that nexus 1 and 2 config, why do people still connect rca??? people talk about the quality of the file and then use rca...? c'mon :)

Looks great and definitely easier to carry around. I still like the nxs2 separates, as they still allow you to use cd's (always nice to have, especially if you are hiring out). I am wondering if Pioneer will bring out a new player with the pads on the front, like all the other units?

Can i connect mobile in player.. Plz help me if u can

[@digitaldjtips]

What exactly do you mean? To connect your mobile phone to the CDJ and play music from your phone, into the CDJ?

[@djrednitro4116]

Is 2000 nexus2 worth 300$ difference with 2000nexus

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes, but get the 3000 today, the 2000s are now outdated.

[@djrednitro4116]

@@digitaldjtips well 3000's are still expensive, I'm thinking to get 2000's to train on them instead

[@heezy6894]

What is the house tune he plays?

[@digitaldjtips]

"Dehli Rock" by 30 hurts

[@facundoecheverria2574]

4 years later still pricey. will wait for the upgrade version.

[@digitaldjtips]

I'm sure they always will be (relatively speaking), the CDJ-3000's are a decent bit better for not much more which is nice though

Drop the 💣💥Q

Every feature can be done in traktor with far less steps and at a fraction of the cost.

[@Inferno77665]

+Nacho Lopez tbh i dont think this kind of hardware is for Normal Djs... I think these are to cater to the clubs that purchase these so that switching from DJ to DJ is easy and quick. But as a personal DJ doing more private shows, I cant imagine these being ideal.

[@djUninen]

+Nacho Lopez, I love Traktor and know it, in my opinnion, very well. But please inform me, how would you do a track search in Traktor playlist with following conditions: "show me all tracks in related keys that are in +-4% bpm range of currently playing song and have energy level (rating) 5 and tags 'energetic' or 'killer'"? This is what you can do in Rekordbox, and now also in this player itself, which is amazing. Traktor is very good in many areas but its playlist functionality and whole collection management is just awful.

[@NachoLopezba]

go to you playlist, click on the key title, scroll untill you see the required key. Estimated time: less than 2 seconds.

[@NachoLopezba]

Just a click and scroll

[@alexsauber]

i used traktor for many years but i am more happy with the cdj's now. I simply put a setup on my rider, it's by far easier that connect a whole traktor setup ...

[@siyagwebani8863]

I wish I can have

[@humanNumer1]

You won't wait half a decade this time for a new model. THis will not stand 3 years of Digital controllers development. Otherwise Top DJs will envy bedroom kids cool, intuitive controllers (probably heavely touch screen based) for a fraction of the price.

[@Skeytch107]

Do you need recordbox

[@digitaldjtips]

To organise your tracks beforehand, yes :-)

[@Skeytch107]

Digital DJ Tips but is it needed and does it come with it Thanks

[@dj-peterofficial2753]

@@Skeytch107 It's needed if you want any of all the digital functionality. It works fine with non analyzed music files on a usb stick, but you get the same functionality as with CD's on a CDJ-1000Mk3. Kind of an expensive way... and Rekordbox is a free software you can download and use without owning any gear. Don't confuse Rekordbox with Rekordbox DJ. The later is a DJ software like Serato and Traktor and is NOT required for these players as they are stand alone gear. After you've analyzed your music in Rekordbox, you export your music to a USB-device that will bring all the digital functions to life. Or, you can connect you laptop to the same network (link) as the players and load the tracks directly from Rekordbox. In this case the laptop will work as a storage with a big screen.

[@KoriePrince]

ah ha! So its a no go on plug and play with Rekordbox. Better just come with the USB!

[@royaldjsentertainment2223]

Professional dj controller low price tell bro 20 thousand under bro

[@digitaldjtips]

Check out our gear guide here: djtips.co/join , it'll help you make the right choice

[@nickramirez6620]

I need that

[@digitaldjtips]

Have you considered the DDJ-1000, Nick? Most of the functions, far lower price (although of course you do need your laptop). Or the XDJ-RX2?

[@boogiedownbronx73]

I never used CDJ ever in my dj career haha
