Another great overview from the best DJ tech reviewer on KZbin. Good work Mojaxx!

[@oldskooldancemusic1]

Although i may never buy one, i just love new tech from any company.

[@DJFITME]

Double tap shift button to control deck 3/4 on rekordbox

[@Mojaxx]

Good looking out! We’ve pinned my comment saying the same thing. Much more to dig into with the software side of things in the full review.

[@kereamohau]

I was hoping someone would find that out. Not being able to switch to 3 & 4 on the unit would have been a huge oversite

[@josua_htp]

Kere Amohau yes you can’t use deck 3/4 if you don’t connect it to a laptop

[@axtoncody3568]

i know I am kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream newly released movies online ?

[@rafaelliam471]

@Axton Cody I watch on Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@DJlegionuk]

So happy they have full sized cdj jog wheels, I never like the smaller ones on the XDJ-RX and was one of the reasons I sold mine.

[@DJRyanWalker]

I actually prefer the smaller jogs on the RX for scratching

[@DJlegionuk]

@@DJRyanWalker I so so used to cdj 1000 mk3 and 2000 they just did'nt feel right to me

[@darsure3006]

meeee too...so excited for this. been waiting for a full-sized standalone for years.

[@DJRyanWalker]

I’m talking specifically about scratching fellas.

[@darsure3006]

@@DJRyanWalker I am too, but I have to disagree, smaller jogs are harder to scratch on across the board. I actually think I prefer capacitive to mechanical though.

[@chillwill1083]

Literally should have had deck 3/4 switches and a slightly bigger screen and it would have been damn near perfect. I have no clue why they made this without that.

[@djestrela2]

@mojaxx finally a reviewer that understands perfectly who is the market of this unit

[@Mojaxx]

One note - kindly sent to me by the guys at Crossfader (go watch their really detailed first look too) - you can change to decks 3 and 4 in Rekordbox via a shift function. So that’s good news. EDIT: This is when using Rekordbox in Performance mode. Standalone playback is always restricted to 2 decks only

[@mutzang]

Press the shift twice to change to decks 3 or 4

[@DeejayEasyrider]

Wait what??? This has not been made clear on any of the other reviews I’ve seen, defo a bonus for those who want to upgrade to this with an eye to adding a third CDJ later but want three or four deck capability out of the box.. if I’m reading this correctly?

[@superking1098]

@@DeejayEasyrider it seems you can only use 4 decks if in controller mode, still not 4 decks standalone

[@DeejayEasyrider]

@@superking1098 hmm, again I'm not sure understand this fully yet, but you are saying its either all four channels via rekordbox or standalone with 2 via USB and 2 external? Seems like Mojaxx was saying you can have standalone 1+2 and add 3+4 via Rekordbox connect. but maybe its wishful thinking. But still it does seem that if you are connected via Rekordbox you can still use the screen on the unit and the platter display to select tunes and monitor info. So aside from the laptop being connected and using the shift button it would be like a standalone controller experience - again, as a contingency for those who cannot add another unit for a while. Or am i off here. Even better if it was possible to use the export mode connection so you could just close the laptop. Wonder if Mojaxx or someone who has hands on can confirm what's really possible here.

[@DeejayEasyrider]

I checked out the review from Crossfader that Mojaxx mentioned above and its clear that at once you are connected via Rekordbox you can use the screen on the unit and the platter display to select tunes and monitor info and can not have to look at the laptop at all and use the shift to switch decks on the player. I think you may be right about all or nothing via RB but I think this is a fine workaround for this system as you are simply using the laptop as an enhanced library at this point and the RB app is "behind the curtain".

[@Nikoa285]

deffo be getting this product. currently using a the rx2 and i want a 4 deck setup without having to spend the price tag on getting it all separately. i dont need updates on the tech really so this is perfect and will give way more flow to mixing especially dnb

[@syazwanali7094]

Always loved Pioneer's build quality. Let the haters say what they want, pioneer definitely has my approval on this beast of a unit

[@darsure3006]

agreed, it's built like a tank compared to the prime 4, which feels like a toy...also people underestimate how important it is for some people to have full sized mechanical jog wheels...guaranteed 3% of the people complaining about the 2 usb vs 4 mixer channels can aptly mix more than 2 tracks at a time anyway. This is basically an nx2 setup for 5 grand less, people should be rejoicing...but whatevs...excited to get mine.

[@carrick19]

Great vid mate, cheers! Need to find some more of your scratch videos, sounded well good!

[@oscardubon6055]

Great work ! Love your videos. Thanks for your in depth reviews. The most helpful reviews I have found...

[@ap9388]

Peeped the Jaylib selection!

[@darsure3006]

The comments in this thread are weird, I think a lot of you obviously don't care about the following: -build quality -full sized jogs -quality software -pro-style layout and functionality -better mixer FX, and EQs -ability to link with other pro gear For these reasons and the price (it is 5 grand cheaper than an nx2 setup) I have already pre-ordered this controller which I have waited YEARS to come out.

[@vitog3806]

Great review, you helped me a lot with obs setting up a while back .. Top man

[@djloomy]

And the winner is.... Denon Prime 4 👏👏👏

[@envydnice]

Yes sir

[@brandonunger1689]

Not sure about that. Denon's software is still catching up; along with their mixer section on the Prime 4. This new Pioneer mixer section is top notch. Both have pros and cons I guess. I hope in 2020 both companies make next-level standalones with all the bells and whistles. Like Pioneer was kinda close on this one, but smaller screen than DP4, no 3/4 deck buttons (have to hit shift button twice AND use DJ software - only 1/2 work in standalone mode) and no wifi on the Pioneer, where the DP4 has this and has integrated streaming now. I want a standalone so bad but neither one is completely blowing me away right now.

[@afxtwin1337]

i found the soundquality on the denon really poor to be honest.

[@darsure3006]

Okay, have fun with your toy. Be careful in the wind. I will be enjoying my tank-built nx2 standalone with a 5 grand discount.

[@djloomy]

Dar Sure pioneer and built like a tank in the same sentence? You're kidding? pioneer faders are the worst in the market by far...

[@markyboyruthless927]

Best reviewer in the biz

[@GSonikRacing]

well, heard the rumors about a standalone ddj 1000 very early, looks great from the outside but it´s by far not what i expected. I did wait quite a long time for the standalone version but I will now go ahead and get the ddj 1000, way cheaper and still very close to a cdj+djm setup. and it even has a full standalone mixer. pretty sad to see that pioneer did something like that with the denon prime 4 existing. But at least you get full size jogs and pioneer effects

[@ReboyGTR]

*Can you switch the jog displays back the the classic CDJ look?*

[@Alex121sm1]

No, but why would you even want that ? 😂

[@ramonvaldez8050]

Numark should come out with Ns74 now is perfect timing. Ns74 with standalone features, new dashboard with touchscreen plus inboard effects will be amazing. Gator plastic type case will be cool to reduced weight for ns74 with gator arm for laptop.

[@Laxlii]

they should have started with the layer button on the CDJ3000 so when they release an all in one standalone, they can make it a standalone 4 channels.

[@DJChristo3lektric]

Trying to rush a release before the holiday when they should have waited. 110% Denon👍

[@far4760]

I'll wait for XDJ XZ 2 or maybe 3!

[@djdommenjay]

Think the xz will stay for at least 5 years till something else comes out

[@carlostello975]

As an RX2 user I have to say I was let down when I found out it wasn’t 4 channel standalone, as I would’ve definitely upgraded if it were. With that in mind though, I understand that if pioneer would’ve made this a full 4 channel standalone system, they would’ve killed their CDJ/DJM sales.

[@dalexandergonzalez5787]

which is why Pioneer is becoming the Apple of the DJ industry. they are no longer catering the needs of their consumers but the needs of their wallets

[@marshalljames2044]

Yeah but on the flip side a lot of peeps are buying denon equipment now because they seem to have things figured out.

[@onomeuwhubetine1875]

You think they'll drop DJM S9 II?

[@julesporter23]

So it's a 1/2 in 1. Really annoyed as they were so bloody close with this one, But no they had to go the Apple & EA route. "Oh, you want all of the features? Here buy these to add to it." With this, I've made the move to Prime 4, Couldn't be happier.

[@hodaridaniels8786]

Ultimate controller, real nice

[@Djmartindus]

Fantastic Unit. I live Doing with Pioneer gears.

[@jordantubman6295]

Can two djs use this running Serato of their laptops? From the looks of it I only saw one USB input. If I was at a gig with another DJ can we run our sets back to back seamlessly without having to completely stop the music and change over from one laptop to the other?

[@deejayprema]

Love your reviews bro, good job 👏

[@cashmasters99]

I honestly hate that they didn't add any b2b features for laptop DJs (although I am mostly on USB sticks). For such a big and expensive unit Pioneer sort of missed the mark. The Prime 4 is the total package, minus a few things such as linking external players and the Master EQ which is cool, but can otherwise do a whole hell of a lot more at a more affordable price.

[@dj-peterofficial2753]

Prime 4 for is a toy for amateurs who has all the time in the world to wait for the next update that will make it work as expected, and who can spend an unimaginable amount of time to get the preparations for your music done, working and ready to play, without a number of different things that will make your collections unplayable. I bought in to the hype and spend the $1800 dollar on the P 4, and I've never gone from hyped up to angry and disappointed so fast in my entire 51 year old life. What a piece of s**t. When you realize it doesn't have the basic expected functions that you need to play, and have relied on since the first cd-players came out in the early 90's, and then discover that the 10'' screen shows less info in browse mode than the old first gen CDJ-2000, have the worst Jog wheel you've ever experienced, has hidden commands to switch waveform layout you need KZbin to find out how to do, has the worst software ever made for preparing music... and to really hit you in your face when you realize that the whole effect sections is disabled for all and every external player you hook up, except for the filter (how generous...) ...and you had to wait 3 months to even get your hands on that $1800 brick. And yes, I watched and read every review made, including MOJAXX, before I put my order in and no one mentioned anything about any of those draw backs. Despite I only used it long enough to discover I can't use it, took $400 off the new price, it took me + 3 months to get rid of it, and it wasn't even in stock or on the shelves yet. The hype wasn't as big as I thought it was, obviously. A colleague of mine got the XDJ-XZ yesterday and used it on his first gig with it a couple of hours later. That's how it's supposed to work with new tools made for pro use. For us they're money makers, period! MOJAXX said it, centerpiece. It's exactly how this will work. Out of the box it's like any Nexus/NXS2 2 player/4 ch mixer setup that's in 98% of all DJ booths already, and with almost the same connectivity as a stand-alone mixer, different DJ's can hook up anything they need to perform, without loosing the functionality of the mixer. That's the exact roll of a centerpiece in a DJ booth.

[@futuretrunkzmusic2771]

Soooo whats the differneces between this and the rx2 besides being able to hook up cdjs in 2 extra channels that u cant use standalone? I was really hoping this would push the market of what denon and reloop and rane are doing and makes all the big dogs steps thier games up and give use some amazing dj gear but this seems like a really watered down response to the prime 4. They could have at least match the prime 4 feature for feature rather than give us less for more money. I was excited for the product quality war but this is just a lazy effort

I got my hands on a Prime 4 at Guitar Center the other day finally...holy crap what a joke...the thing is a toy. Build quality obviously doesn't matter to some people...let alone size (the thing is a controller for ants imo). For those of us who are used to performing live on an nx2 setup (which should be a lot of us if you're more than a hobbiest) this controller is the answer...and a very affordable one at that.

[@hyperfocus4866]

@@darsure3006 That's not what I've heard. Across the board it has had praise. Engine Prime is it's only short fall. This unit only offers half of what the Prime does for less money.... You couldn't be more wrong.

[@darsure3006]

@@hyperfocus4866 'not what I've heard' lol...I've owned a ddj-sz and I have actually played on a prime 4...so I think it's actually you who are dead wrong and basing your bullshit opinion on hearsay, seeing as how you've never even played on one. Also, it offers half how? 98% of the DJs out there don't actually ever mix more than 2 tracks competently...outside of that this is basically an nx2 setup...the mixer is better than the mixer in the prime 4, the jog wheels are a no-contest, the beat pads are bigger, and the FX are better. Sorry but I don't think I'm wrong at all. Do you play out a lot? When I play out there is almost always an nx2 setup there, and this controller is basically the same thing but for thousands less. Prime 4 just doesn't have the build quality.

@@darsure3006 damn near 2020 and Pioneer fanboys still regurgitating the same Denon bashing BS...I feel like I'm reading DJforum threads from 2004...Pioneer fanboys still can't come to terms that Pioneer is no longer the "industry standard" they once were. The same person reviewing this kit is the same person that praised the build quality of the Prime 4 yet you want to call out others for "hearsay".

[@peterpeter5214]

@@apexpredator_jku I've played both pioneer and denon kit a lot and I can say that the denon build quality is just as good, if not better, than the pionneer stuff. Not saying that pioneer is bad, it's not, but the denon stuff just offers a lot more for much less money. Just try It out yourself and you'll love it. The only thing that's holding it back is engine prime but they are working on that and it's improved a lot over the last couple of years. I really believe that denon is gonna become the new industry standard if pioneer doesn't finally start improving their products.

[@twisted_sista_bmccleanmiss6048]

About the 3rd & 4th channel being hooked upto a cdj via the Ethernet cable at the back....I'm a newbie upgrading but want access to CD player too, by using the ethernet cable does that mean it just hooks upto the software rekordbox on the unit to show track info etc?

[@joaquinbenabentos]

There is something important that i think is not clear. The soundcard, so the audio quality, I reed that in the xdj xz is not 24bits/192khz, so the audio quiality of the equipment is not equal to a cdj nexus setup. That is the only thing that keeps me wondering if I wan't to buy it or not.

XZ is however just released VS XDJ-700 and 1000MK2s that were released in 2016. on the other hand XDJ-700s have 7 in touchscreens that are great and more like CDJS where as XZ no touch screen and all in one that if it dies the entire investment is lost. Any opinions on which way to go?

I have a question regarding the 4 deck option when using rekordbox/serato. Say you want to do a triple drop as follows: Deck 1: Track = 100 BPM | Pitch = 0% Deck 2: Track = 110 BPM | Pitch = ~-9.9% to match to 100 BPM Deck 3: Track = 100 BPM | Pitch = 0% I'd beatmatch Deck 1 with Deck 3 both with the pitch control at 0%, then I'd switch to deck 2 using the shift button and adjust the pitch control to -9.9%. Now if I want to slightly adjust deck 1 and switch back to Deck 1, will the bpm immediatly switch to 91 instead of 100 because the pitch slider is down at -9.9% for deck2?

[@bgstemcd]

In a word no. For it to be fully functional you need a send/return. There's a way you can run it over the master but this means you're effecting both tracks at once rather than being able to isolate it to one channel. Not good at all. limits it very much.

[@13Radi]

@@bgstemcd Thanks A lot

[@SamDonaldsonMusic]

Is there any practical difference between the master eq and an Isolator like those made by Bozure or featured on the Rane MP2015? could this be used in an expressive way while mixing? Great review as always

[@Mojaxx]

I wondered the same initially, but it's not a full cut - and there's no option to make it so in the settings either. So you could use it in that way up to a point, but it's not the same as a proper isolator.

I guess you can just use the line faders to mix and keep the fader set to cut mode if you know you'll be doing it.

When playing off laptop ..can u use 4 channels?

[@kingpinz]

Yes. Tap Shift button to switch between the channels.

[@waj1975]

Not sure I see the point of having the option to add vinyl decks but not be able to use them alongside the CDJ's.

[@leighjanes7310]

Is it is stand alone?? Add two more external decks you have 4 Channels no computer? Is that right?

[@ricorusso9458]

Leigh Janes no only 2 stand alone decks 😕

[@leighjanes7310]

Rico Russo is the two external inputs cannot be used with two more CDJs while using channel 1 and 2 in stand alone? That can’t be right surly?

[@ricorusso9458]

Leigh Janes channel 3&4 you can use with external gear. The sequence is 3,1,2,4 like mostly used in EU

[@ricorusso9458]

I dont know if its possible to use stand alone and external @ the same time but it would be ridiculuos 🙈

[@ricorusso9458]

Leigh Janes as far as i could see on pictures it must be possible

[@fantomejack]

24bit 44 ? or 24 96 ?

[@TheDJMENACENL]

no magvell fader?? why??

[@darsure3006]

this is the big deciding factor for me...because the denon sc5000Ms + x1800 bundle are on sale for $1000 off right now, I'm actually going to try them first and see how much I like them, might not go with the XZ after all, if only due to the fact that the xfader is not interchangeable...nor is it magvel...which is absolutely baffling...I could even cope with the 2 channels thing, but the crappy xfader on such a nice controller is really a shame

[@iamseanprince]

so will this have 4 deck support for serato dj ?

[@djdommenjay]

It has

[@RansomBaby]

soooo...anyone have any tips or tricks?

[@Froxdj]

How do you customize the artwork in the center display, I’m having trouble getting that to change on a CDJ1000

[@brandongoeckner6602]

Im using rekordbox, guessing thats the only way to get it to work Also have LiveDJ, DJayPRO2, Sereto
