[@leemortimer80]

The link cueing is a great feature. Being able to quickly preview what’s happening later in the track is ace. The new way to browse, search and see your tracks and playlists is great too. People seem to be looking for features like dual layers and on board FX but as a club DJ this is the last thing I need.

[@m-stat9]

The last thing YOU don't need, but others maybe do. And the SC6000 has no "on board FX". Do your homework before talking bs.

[@leemortimer80]

@@m-stat9 Well done for noticing that this is my opinion. Top marks 👍🏻

[@quentinwilliams1650]

Finally, a reasonable take. All the hobbyists in the comments seem to be missing the fact that this unit is ultimately not for them. I don’t like Denon’s new players and most of their “groundbreaking” features are completely irrelevant to club/festival work, whereas the stuff Pioneer put in the 3000 will actually help me do my job better. I’m really happy with this unit.

[@BlueHawk80]

@@quentinwilliams1650 And pay your 2400$ and be happy if you need Pioneer to maake your job easier.

[@coolxy2]

The problem is that it doesn't give you the option. If a Denon user doesn't like dual layer, he can just not use it. But the feature is there and is useful for many others. Same for all other "fancy" features. With the new CDJ, a lot of modern options don't exist - is this really more professional?

[@Basti791000]

The Pioneer simply feels good, is clearer, more intuitive, tidier, you feel at home here immediately. Thank You for this Video, stay tuned.

[@haydnr1631]

Thanks for a honest and unbiased review. As you so rightly said, these are aimed at the professional that could turn up at a venue having never used them before therefore they must have a familiar feel. I was impressed with the sound quality, browsing options and large touch screen but mostly with the high quality jog wheel and responsiveness in terms of minimal lag due to the power of the MPU. I’m sure the ‘bells and whistles’ will come further down the line in response to those that actually use them.

[@juschu85]

20:10 Eeeehh, no, it doesn't do that. Just like an image file with a VGA resolution doesn't suddenly get high res when you put it fullscreen on a 4K display.

[@DeejayPulse]

Are you familiar with the concept of upscaling?

[@juschu85]

@@DeejayPulse Yes, I am. But a picture that was upscaled from VGA to 4K, still doesn't look like a native 4K picture. That's not different with music. The first thing you loose when compressing music are the highs during parts where the base is very loud. You wouldn't hear it anyway, so it's filtered out. When you "upscale" the music you can never be sure if the highs never were there in the first place or if they were filtered out and you should add them again.

[@QuadratAugenFresse]

I work as an event tech and our company does rentals. People rarely ask for denon prime and it will probably stay that. Most people renting from us dont care for "performance pads", or music streaming. But bigger screens and some minor improvements are welcome and getting rid of the CD slots is something I will appreciate in the long run.

[@annekedebruyn7797]

I can totally see that. Unless performance pads are specifically your style, I rather have more functional buttons. Kind of a bummer regarding the CD. Sure, the vast majority will use a USB stick. But there are still many occasions where having a CD player would have been nice to have.

[@iSkyline1]

You don't see a problem paying full price for minor improvements? It's even more expensive once you consider that Pioneer DJ doesn't offer dual-layers on their top-of-the-line standalone DJ-player. So you have to buy/rent 4 units instead of two no matter what if you want 4 decks but I guess that's good for Pioneer DJ and their bottom line as well as gear rental services. There is also no redundancy with just one USB-port and if you ever accidentally disconnect your flash-drive this "high-end" DJ-player still only has a 4-bar emergency loop...Denon devices buffer the entire song. I could go on but I'm sure people renting these things simply don't know what they're missing, still I think Pioneer DJ will lose their "cLuB sTaNdArD" status in the future.

[@AGDesigns123]

[@ZacharySound]

I'm still perfectly happy with my CDJ-900 Nexus and I have brought them to Bars and outdoor events many times - one feature I like in his demo is the better seated jog wheel. It is about time they fixed that.

[@kereamohau]

Hopefully the next XDJ-XZ 2 will have this screen and jog wheel set up. That would be the real unit to go for.

[@DobixIdealSound]

As a Pioneer user, I must say that Denon is WAAAAY ahead. And when the time comes for my CDJ2000 NXS2/DJM900NXS2 setup, I'll go for Denon. That's the reality. The name of a product is not that important in 2020/2021. When a product with a less known name is 50% cheaper and 50% better than what you use/own...You change it. No matter the domain in which you work.

[@inchaoswetrust]

If you own a club that is…I’ve never owned CDJ’s myself, If I were to buy a pair I’d go for the DENON, not a shadow of doubt

[@drinmo3776]

Very informative as always, thank you Jamie!

[@DJMixtApe808]

super useful review as usual, Jamie from a leaked photo i saw i was underwhelmed, but having seen this detailed review, this is a great update. Processor, screen and new hardware buttons to replace fiddly software ones are massive improvements. key sync is excellent too - possibly the biggest change for me (i'll assume the sound quality will be good). in terms of performance this increases your play next options massively. possibly the most creative addition. i'm really not convinced by the hot key placement. i'm glad they're on there, so it's a start! and it's a shame they're aren't performance pads. i'll certain there'll be features added in updates. particularly the centre screen for BPM, waveform etc. all in all, a solid comeback from pioneer. i think Jamie's observation about pioneer having to iterate, rather than make massive leaps is a good one. they have a dominant position in the market, whether we like it or not, so it would be a huge risk for them to tear up the general design/functionality. given there's no such thing out there as the 'perfect' device, i think this is a solid response to help maintain a good chunk of that share.

[@risquedj]

I just switched from SC6000s to CDJ3000s.......all I have to say is, despite having fewer features, the 3000s are sooooo much more fun to play on!! Beat Jump values being separate from the Loop values is a revelation! I used to think the Loop Encoder was superior, but I prefer the dedicated 4 (+/- x2) & 8 (+/- x2) value buttons now. Everything 'feels' performance focused on the 3000s when compared to the 6000s. Just having a dedicated hardware button for Quantize is a prime example. I was one of those dudes that when the 3000s first came out that was like, Denon is clearly superior. I don't think that anymore....NOT AT ALL!! Oh yeah, and the 3000s sound vastly superior to the 6000s.....even with Lossless files.

"CDJ 3000" - The only CD Player without a CD slot. Pretty ironic that they removed it and the price is higher though..

[@hINC]

yes, but no. I mean, how much is that in parts? Like 10 dollars?

[@BlueHawk80]

@@hINC Doesnt change the fact that the price went up (again).

[@MaartenVDJ]

@@BlueHawk80 To be fair: it is removing a CD slot *and* adding a fast processor which makes this a computer. Plus a higher quality sound output (card). Also a bigger screen and metal instead of plastics. So in terms of hardware I think these components alltogether may be more expensive than NXS2. I do think this is an expensive piece of gear, but I also think it has better price/value than the 2000 NXS2 which was only a little less expensive and offered less than this. For home DJ the XZ standalone controller has good price/value. And the Denon range. I had the Denon SC6000M's, but now I got these CDJ3000's instead. Main reason is walled garden. You need to stay in RekordBox 5.1 to export music collection to Denon prime. And I wanted to use RB 6 with the cloud sync and mobile app, etc. And also the future iterations in rekordbox which would otherwise be lost for me. Surely there is a workaround for this, by maintaining music in two pieces of software. But the hours of extra work attached to that - on a yearly basis - are also expensive.

[@leonardodacapo3213]

Wow, it looks like Denon kicked Pioneer's butt this time around. Horrible location for the hot cues, way over priced, only a 9-inch screen, and no connectivity. Woops! What are they smokin' over at Pioneer? The Denon SC6000 got the hot key location right, it has a 10.1 in screen, and is $1499. Tomorrow I will be putting my order through for two Denon SC6000 decks. The CDJ has been the industry standard in the clubs for years and might be Denon's greatest challenge, but Denon is on the move. They've signed endorsement deals with some major DJs, so it might not be that much of a challenge, since that level of DJ can request whatever they want. Most likely over time clubs will just have pairs of both Pioneer and Denon decks. Not a deal breaker for me, but the play/pause and cue buttons on the Denon's seem so small compared to the CDJ's.

[@dsquareddan]

Leonardo DaCapo I mean you said it right there, Denon has to resort to paying DJs to even consider using their gear in the pro touring market. And that number is under 10 out of thousands and thousands of big name artists currently. Nobody is voluntarily changing their technical riders they submit to venues & festivals from pioneer gear. One huge reason that is not going to change is because many DJs love the ability to play an unexpected B2B set with another artist. With newer rekordbox, your library is no longer functional on denon players. No one will want to alienate themselves in booths by being unable to just walk up and play their USB they’ve organized and maintained for several years now. Don’t get me wrong, denon has some great features. But truthfully there isn’t anyone really in pro touring market that’s like “ah I wish cdjs could do this”. I work full time as a back line technician on major festivals and tours with some of the biggest names in the world. I can tell you that over anything else, they want familiarity. And they don’t care about the price cause they don’t pay for them. Whatever they put down on their technical rider is bound to a contractual agreement by promoter and production company putting on the show to supply that gear. If they want it, they get it. That goes beyond DJ gear. Most top end DJs have explicit requirements for booth monitor speakers, FOH mixing consoles etc. that cost thousands of dollars. The price of cdjs doesn’t cross the minds of worldwide touring DJs.

[@labelhz5719]

Denon has to pay professional DJs to use their products, pros pay pioneer for theirs. Also - why would you order anything that expensive without first trying it? Have you played on the 3000s yet? Might be smart move before making a purchasing decision.

[@Funky1ism]

So, its a coincedence every top dj played on a djmV10 as of late? Every brand sends out free stuff or make endorsement deals with pro’s or influential people to push their product..maybe pioneer even more so

[@craigfarley1191]

The play/pause and cue buttons are bigger on the Denon players. I have the SC5000'S and have played many times on the CDJ's

[@djnigellove]

@@dsquareddan google a little something called "marketing"

[@philream3879]

So let me just check, No dual layer. No performance pads. No inbuilt track analysing. No inbuilt option for hard drive. Hot cues in completely the wrong place. Rekordbox will probably start charging a subscription to use some features. At least £500 more than a Denon with all the above options, (minus the subscription). Sold.

[@raverboyful]

Great review and Jamie’s summary sums up the fact this is an evolution rather than revolution as artists need to feel comfortable quickly when performing. I wonder how robust the touch screens will be over time as we’ve all seen DJs in clubs being a little over zealous and less careful with club equipment as they may be with their own.

$2,300 for 1 player, is pioneer crazyyyy! Will stick to denon thank you... 😁!

Question about hot cue loading: What player/software, aside from Pioneers other CDJs and XDJs, doesn't instantly load hot cues when a track is loaded? Why were you so excited about that?

[@stephena.8964]

Can’t wait to give these bad boys a spin🆘🆘

[@pt93music]

I feel like this should’ve been the logical update for the XDJ series. Not that many use CD’s anymore to mix but, you can’t really call these a CDJ if they don’t play CD’s. Not to mention cost is out to lunch compared to denon’s with dual deck capabilities. I feel pioneer is slowly pricing themselves into a corner. Great tech. Way overpriced.

[@DomiVox]

I"m trying to feel positive about this "CDJ" (what's in a name), but I'm just too disappointed... What U mean no performance pads?

[@bradpittbull3585]

I was like shut up and take my money! Then calling out the price tag killed the vibe tremendously 😂

[@Crossfader]

🤣🤣🤣

[@dppopov]

Same here Bro, I was expecting a price tag lower than 1500 USD (which would make sense since it has less features than SC6000) but holly cow, Pioneer are optimistic as a 40 years old obese lady applying for Victoria's Secret model!

[@rmshifthotlap]

Awesome review, thanks! Small correction: 21:30 it is only 1Gb ethernet port. The highest that these go to on super high end enterprise servers is 25Gb lol That being said, 1Gb ethernet is more than enough to simultainiously stream 6 WAV tracks in 192kHz, 32 bit

[@Crossfader]

Good spot. Apologies for that and thanks for pointing it out!

[@DrudgeAudio]

I’m not going to begin to compare this to the Denon, because let’s face it - the Denon players have more features for less money. All the people and venues who need top end multimedia players (james hype, AMC, big DJ Festivals and clubs etc) will likely be given these and we will continue to see pioneer on videos, live streams, gigs, festivals and tutorials - so pioneer will always hold the market share. They will be the players for every top performances that we see. Guess all we can do is spend less than half the price on a Denon setup and laugh at any ‘prosumer’ splashing out on these with their own money

[@leckrer2816]

You are 100% right. Problem for me is that I absolutely hate the look and feel of Denon gear although they are miles ahead by the technical aspect. That personally doesn't help me a bit though if I don't like to work with the units. For example I always feel like the SC5000/SC6000 looks like a freaking spaceship with that imba-large screen. So i guess i won't be upgrading from my 3 CDJ 850s anytime soon. Neither to newer CDJs nor to Denon Equipment. Relying on all these new fancy features (waveforms, sync, key sync, visualization) takes away a lot of fun as well.

[@jesalp]

Called a "CDJ" but doesn't have a CD player... Think this sums up Pioneer recently.

[@ItsTehEnzo]

But realistically who tf is still using cd’s?

[@jesalp]

@@ItsTehEnzo So why even call it a CDJ anymore? Like the DDJ series stands for "Digital DJ controller" and that makes sense. This doesn't.

[@IMANU]

@@jesalp because its their flagship series

[@Ravinstomper]

agree. whats wrong with xdj-2000? cdj is just confusing like a Chinese typo!

[@Amplexius]

@@IMANU still no reason to name a xdj Cdj !! it has no cd drive so why call it CDJ ? its NO >>>CD

[@DanHey08]

Looking forward to comparison videos.

[@djpho]

It seems solid and it looks that it has the quality heritage of Pioneer DJ. BTW I saw this unit has 32 bit in soundcard, which makes it the best quality sound unit in the market.

[@EddyGraphic]

I don’t understand how these players are so expensive and still more limited than say a DDJ-1000 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@blackout2able]

Ok im going with Denon

[@ray4568]

Bye😂

[@quintuscleff5686]

Wtf hahaha

[@ccurnick1]

Any case recommendations for these? I cant find info posted on cases for them and I just bought a pair.

[@Sentien]

Very good review. However, Pioneer with their incremental updates are falling behind the superior charge of the Denon SC6000/M's. The Denon's are addressing current and future DJ performance and accessibility with dual layer play and the most important - streaming WIFI play.

[@djearwaxxx]

Yay, another 5k per deck 😂😆

[@djkamilo66]

i think i'm just gonna keep my CDJ-100S's.

[@Odyseuss08]

Will you order soon or just recently ordered a CDJ3000 or a SC6000? If yes so - which one did/will you buy?

[@mocairo8084]

1 clickable rotary knob with a shift button can replace the 7 buttons used for looping and beat jump

[@LAMBERTOGABRIELI]

Pioneer copying Denon Prime players with less features for triple the price

[@DeBanked]

LAMBERTO GABRIELI yes it’s a great model until it no longer works
