Point 3 - The CDJ2000 NXS2's had a option in the Utility Settings Menu to change the playback behaviour of the Hot Cues, but here's a workaround for this to work. Stop the deck, make sure SLIP MODE is on. Now the Hot Cues will only play audio while you hold down a cue button and stop as soon as you let go.

One really awesome features of a CDJ is that whatever you play on the CDJ is stored into the HISTORY folder as a playlist on the USB. If you take that USB back to Rekordbox, you can see everything you played on the CDJ as a playlist, so no need to write down what it is that you played in a spontaneous set, whether it's on your own decks or at a venue.

I am very surprised that as a professional DJ that you have never had the opportunity to play on CDJs before. Also something to note is that the DDJ 1000 controller has the same mechanical jog wheels as the CDJ 2000 Nexus 2 so that would have been another opportunity to get a feel of the mechanical jogs of CDJs. I find touch wheels on other controllers quite irritating as I’ve had many times accidentally lightly brush the top of the wheel and the music temporarily stops. Fortunately it’s only ever been on the incoming track and never the currently playing track.

Point 6 - The EVERMIX has a frequency response output of (30Hz - 20,000Hz). While the CDJ3000 outputs at (4Hz - 40,000Hz). The DJM900 NXS2 outputs at (20 - 40000 Hz) A system is only as good as it's weakest link. It's like buying a Ferrari and then swapping out the engine from a KIA. Have you tried recording via the RB App on your phone connected via USB to the CDJ, DJM LINK (sample rate of 16 bit / 44.1 kHz) Another way is to use a "Virtual Audio Driver" like "Blackhole" that's linked to "AUDIO MIDI SETUP" internally. But imho, you can't beat taking the digital out (from the DJM) sent directly to a Studio Grade Sound Card Interface on a separate Mac/Pc with your DAW.

to gate your cues you need to go to the end of the track and set slip mode on, then when you release the cue it will jump to the silence at the end of the track, thus yielding the gate effect although you do have to set an extra cue at the end of the song and also turn slip mode on so it's a bit of a hassle

That's basically my beef with a traditional CDJ/DJM setup as opposed to a good DDJ. The DDJ, while not feeling as good as a proper modular setup, does offer a TON more practicality. When I DJ in small bars and clubs, I always bring my controllers. Here I have ALL of my music already prepped, ready to go in one convenient, smaller setup. There's no need to burn CD's, I got a mouse to help me scroll through the tracks, and they do what I need them to do. And when I see modern flagships, like the DDJ-RZX, I'm really wondering why spend £10k on a CDJ setup when the RZX will do pretty much the same shit for £2800. At some point it has to be style over substance.

Hi Phil, congratulations with your new set of equipment. In my opinion the CDJ's with their enormous price tag do not offer so much really interesting features compared to the NXS-2. In my opinion both players are soooo over priced for what they can do. The best Pioneer product I have used is the XDJ-XZ with a Macbook Pro running Rekordbox version 5. Really has everything Pioneer has to offer. It is much smaller that the 3000 set-up and can play extremely fast via Performance mode, it can play from USB sticks and can do recording on a USB at the same time. The one thing which Pioneer doesn't understand is that the biggest part of DJ's have very large music collections and play whatever the crowd likes (think of requests). Here comes the problem with the NXS-2 and 3000 set-up. These can't handle a collection of 1TB or up and can't perform fast searches for artist / titles. Why? well the USB connection is USB 2.0 and they way Pioneer handles such a large collection it will not work. Your players will get stuck performing multiple search actions. One stupid thing Pioneer needs to change is activate search after pressing enter and not while typing. As the USB 2.0 protocol handles much lower speeds than USB 3.0 or 3.1 it makes no sense investing in portable SSD drives as the players can't handle the speed the drives can handle. Therefore most DJ's will need to bring a laptop and work in Performance mode as this is the fastest way to play requests. Rekordbox Performance mode is a great tool, in my opinion the best DJ software out there. If I would advice a DJ who travels and plays allround for different kinds of audiences... Buy a very good Macbook Pro (not the M1 due to overheating issues that may occur) with a 2TB SSD drive and a XDJ-XZ. Then you are familiair with the Pioneer workflow (having to use Rekordbox to arrange your collection) and you will be able to play on a NXS-2 set-up or 3000 set-up if this is in a venue where you don't bring your controller. Don't wanna go into the Denon discussion, but they are an interesting competitor and that is a very good thing for both brands. I will check out in the coming weeks how a SC-6000 handles a large drive... it has USB 3.0 I understood so... but then again if you are used to Rekordbox (Performance) you will have an issue with the software of this competitor. When they get the software on the same level as Pioneer we have a real fight ;). Enjoy your music, keep smiling and stay safe.

No one likes to talk about it (admit it), but Denon SC6000s (firmware 2.1.1) are the closest thing to "controller-style" mixing on a modular piece of gear as one can currently get. But, they don't have that "industry standard" sex appeal or bragging rights.....not supposed to matter, but for many it does. That said, the SC6000s aren't perfect either. I have owned them for 1.5 years, and even I have a pair of CDJ-3000s backordered. However, I'll be keeping both brands. Each brand's player has it's strengths and weaknesses.

It's really funny to hear some of this coming from the other end of the spectrum. I have NEVER used a controller or dvs system in my entire DJ life since I started in 1985. On occasion I have tested someones setup, but just felt that it was a worse option not to be considered serious. I'm a hardware guy only where computers are a prep tool only, not to be in the booth. I used vinyl for 10 years, then CD's for almost 15 years, and since 2009 i use RB prepared USB devices. This mean that when I stopped using vinyl in the mid 90's, i immediately had to get used to the stutter sound of CDJ mode setting a new cue point, which were pretty much the same on all brands. The benefit is that when you use the CDJ mode to set a new cue point, you can do it on vocals with other background sounds on the fly, not only on kicks and snares on the one. ...and it's a frame based solution where you go frame by frame until the next frame has the start of the sound you want to use as the new cue point. Doing this on the fly using the vinyl mode will never ever be as good as you will end up one more frames wrong every time. For me starting a new track with faders up is relying on me doing it with perfect timing, which means that I need to have perfect set cue points every time. ...and yeah, if I always ended up with a pair of 3000's I could probably use the wave form to do it, but I use what's in the club, which still means using first gen CDJ-2000's and 900's on a regular basis which means no moving wave forms and using your ears is the only option. B.t.w, you did set the cue point several frames in to the beat... old school as I am, I still rely on my ears for most of my mixing, which means I don't look in the screens, or down on the mixer, very much, but rather have my eyes on the people attending the venue. A final note on the CDJ vs Vinyl mode topic: If you're NOT a scratching DJ, and NEVER in your life will use the the jog wheel for the purpose of scratching, why would you even use that mode? The ONLY things that can happen in vinyl mode are BAD things. I still have all my vinyls and do occasional vinyl sets, and have no problems switching back to the way I used to play, but why on earth would I want to bring that old school way of playing in to the digital world? If my memory is right, there's a setting in RB where you can set hot cue's to be gated when the track is paused.

13:13 is quantize set to one beat? Change to 1/8 or turn quantize off 😉 then soon as you hit the cue button..... booooom instant

That broken cdj point was funnny.....tht stutter sound whn u pause a track in CDJ mode was used by lot of DJs including from then csj 200 era. So DJs who have used something like cdj 200/ denon d-4500 will b familiar to that sound!

There's a cheat for the hotcue issue---set your last cue to the end of the track, hit it, then flux mode your other cues

Love the feedback! A few misses tho when you talk about features such as hot cues (which is affected by quantize) and then you go on to the track pad feature of the mixer which isn't apart of CDJs lol.

I was doing my first international gig, and they had CDJs (I was used to my controller) and it was in CDJ mode, and it took me a lot of stress to figure out why. Weird feature. Wish. I would have known about that tip then

those players and mixer are only good when you come to Gig, where setup is already there on spot, and you just come and use it. That's it. Buying this stuff and then having issue with errors (communication error, soldering due to just time matter), its just not cool at all, plus moving around as well. And its too expensive to have it sending to service and just loose lot of money. Gigs can be done with normal controllers, nothing much expensive, it just depends on your skills, if you hear the sound and creativity. I can perform at Ultra with any controller, but usually all great gigs standard setup 4 of those players and mixer, thats it. On the other side, if you are popular dj/artist, well you have money for throw then, or even better, you get those for free from Pioneer. Short conclusion, i like to use those on gigs, but i don't want to own them. Rather will do gigs on venues where i bring my own equipment, small controller, and make good vibe from it, then taking this with me all around. :)

what i like to do in Rekordbox and organise songs is with a lot of playlists in each playlist i have a set in order of the songs im going to play, so when you drag the songs into the playlist it orders them automatically in the order that you dragged it into the playlist, this helps me a lot specially with the first 4, then i can put no1 on deck 1 no2 on deck 2 3 on deck 3 and 4 on deck 4 after that all you need to do is count baby and wait until 1 is done playing select 5 into 1 and then gooo heavy

Starting 2 song on same deck with hot cue in quantize, I think they made it by purpose. It's not change the track straight away, it's changing on the next beat. If you do it without quantize, probably no delay...

Bro , Those are the high end CDJ , you can’t find better.I suggest you to go back to Serato and DJ Controllers , you have so many settings to manipulate things there , everything Serato does this thing is capable to and with a faster response. I guarantee you they are the best . Before you do a video , you got to make sure you know how to use those properly. I got those and DJM V 10 LF and i love em . Got SX 2 and serato when i go to serato it looks like toys .
