Pioneer DJM 2000

looks ridiculous and probably not in a good way

Posted by djsaekone on Oct-19-2010 00:14:

yah, looks cool i guess...i hope the usb interface part of it works good.

Saw one of these in the flesh the other night in a club i play at in Dublin. Had i not been in such a heap the next day i could have popped over to my mates to have a play around with it.

Don't like the look of it personally.
Touch screen thing looks silly. IMO.

ONLY reason i'm considering buying one of these (as a second mixer... still love my A&H xone 92 rotary) is for the cdj-2000 integration.

it does not look good, imo, compared to some other products on the market these days.

another terrible mixer. i think the days of the mixers are gonne, they only get worse now it seems.

Is it just me...or is this mixer just stuffed FULL of features of which 90% of I'll never use/care about, and doesn't it look very intimidating and excessively complicated to use? I mean...cmon...I happen to like Pioneer mixers , but sometimes simplicity is a BEAUTIFUL thing. I own a Rane MP2016, and my rotary does exactly what it was designed for...and doesn't try to be some kind of "all in one wonder-machine". This thing will probably be replaced in a year by a new Pioneer mixer with 1-2 extra features and a price-tag that has doubled (or quadrupled). I'm not just singling out Pioneer here though...Rane is also guilty of this. Check out the new Rane Sixty-Eight. Same shit to me...if I were to consider purchasing a Pioneer, the DJM-400 has everything most DJ's would need, and then some (I hope). Also at a FRACTION of the price of the 2000.

All the bells and whistles on this thing is overkill. I can't even remember the last time I used effects. I don't see myself owning one of these. Especially after having my 1620 completely rehabed.

EXACTLY. And btw, what does rehabed mean?

Posted by Stu Cox on Oct-21-2010 06:35:

I'd be perfectly happy playing on one of those - basically means I can leave the EFX at home. Not that I use it much when I do take my EFX to gigs, but the echo, reverb and filters usually get a bit of a workout.

The touchscreen EQ thing is pointless though. Trying to use a touchscreen precisely in the middle of a mix just isn't going to work, unless you're the most steady-handed and inanimate DJ going.

It means rebuilt. New cards installed, connectors, some rewiring.

Posted by Brandt Slater on Oct-21-2010 07:34:

I dunno if I like the master in the center like that. I can see the touch screen getting accidentally touched during a transition. Unless you have a steady hand like Stu pointed out.

Posted by skip on Oct-21-2010 10:30:

That frequency mix mode seems like a nice idea. Could enable some incredibly smooth mixes. But I don't see it really working all that well with a touch screen that small. Dunno if it'd work well on a bigger touch screen either as touch screens lack the tactile feedback that most people want in DJing.

Making such a thing completely hardware controlled might not work too well either. You'd likely lose the bar-graphs indicating what's happening on each frequency at least and making a mixer with 7 crossfaders might a bit

I know Redsound had a mixer with three crossfaders, but that never caught on.

The art of DJing is now in the digital age, and the next generation of DJ mixers needs to keep pace with the CDJ revolution. Our DJM-2000 truly does that. The brand new DJM-2000 is our most powerful performance mixer and is the perfect match for the new industry-standard CDJ-2000 digital decks.

Perhaps I could interest you in something else:

Posted by Rodri Santos on Oct-21-2010 13:02:

i like the effects trigged by a button, is a simple to use mixer but with lots of features, i don't understand the purpose of the touch screen though

Let's say you're straight mixing and don't want to use the touch screen, is there a way for the user to bypass the touch screen? If that would be option I would look into it a little more.

Yeah, you just hit the orange 'off' button next to the screen and use the rest of the mixer as usual...

Thanks Stu. I thought those turned off other things and not the screen.
