The CDJ900 has piqued my interest and is a decent price. I'll wait to play around with them and decide if its worth the upgrade from my 800s.

OMG OMG A NEW MIX

INCOGNITO brought it in last Saturday Nov 14 and used the CDJ 2000 exclusively for the INCOGNITO Lounge @Vanguard, even if retail sales had been moved to December still. Hows that for cutting edge?

Btw, we do have an event this Friday Nov 20 @King King with CHYMERA, you never know what decks will be used

Great night is brisbane last night. My first night playing on the new cdj2000s. All went without a glitch. The guys at pioneer really have done a great job. The machine itself is fantastic and the rekordbox software is just very simple but clever. A lot of the things I like about ableton have been incorporated into the new set up. The software is perfect for organising your sets. They have really thought it thru. The quantised looping function makes extending your mixes a doddle. Fun to play on for sure. I think once my maven is back from being rebuilt I will use it as a giant mpc style sample bank and fx machine along side the cdjs.

The man has spoken.

Sasha has been reported to be using this new cd player since his Maven is getting fixed
Also Digweed tried traktor for about 2 weeks and went back to cds again

If Pioneer got those 2 on board id imagine that would be a massive help to their marketing campaign...

edit: xtr3m beat me to it

I'm sure the CDJ2000's software will suck, and if it doesn't then I'm sure navigating it with knobs and buttons will suck. They are trying to "minimize the need to bring a laptop computer" to performances when computers make using MP3s 1000x easier. I also still don't understand why they are trying to simulate vinyl when they are marketing an MP3 player that spins CDs. oh well, I'm sure plenty of people will throw away money on these.

I used a CDJ1000 for a while after switching from turntables. I loved not having to pay (as much) for music but I still found it inconvenient to burn CDs. the whole vinyl simulation thing never even made sense to me, and the looping feature is not very useful. in my opinion if you're going the way of MP3s then there are far more intuitive interfaces for mixing, such as the Torq X-ponent, which costs a fraction of one CDJ.

I'm thinking with regards to the CDJ900:

If you use Traktor and a CDJ900 you could change the stupid loop buttons to Hotcue buttons, then you will have 4 hotcue buttons instead of just 3 as with the CDJ2000 or 1000.

Those cdj800 loop buttons are fucked up. Atleast the CDJ900 can haz be a MIDI device.

does it read bluray discs? imagine putting in two 50GB discs with your entire music collection. endless nights of good music.

i might as well pick them up with the 10% off at agiprodj
