wantin to know how they measure up against the cdj1000 mk3 as far as mixing goes??

wud they hold the beat as well as the 1000??

how does the jog wheel compare??

thanks, j

this ass(o) i know bought some, def top notch. I think there are some djs that request them at their gigs, only person i know of is ATB

The CDJ 400's have the same pitch resolution as the rest of the pioneer CDJ line I believe (other then the cdj-100) which is .02 and .05 depending on the range selected.

As far as the jog wheel, it feels small , but works great in the vinyl mode. It would probably be safe to say the 400's are a great CDJ with lots of features, but they are no 1000 if you are looking to scratch.

I am looking to trade in my 200's for some 400's , as the price is right.

+1 Except the 800s go to .05, not .02. Not a huge deal but just sayin'.

i've been using them for about a month now and love them! no complaints at all

If they made the platter the same size as the 800's... there would be no reason to buy 800s.

The platter on the 400s is the size of a CD.

i really dont care for the 400's jog wheel.. i dont like it for some reason.. it feels cheap or something.

do you have to put a lot of pressure on them to go into a "scratch mode" or is it pretty much the same shit as the 800/1000?

you have to press down less then 1mm which is nothing, and you dont need a heavy touch to do it

I've owned the 400's for about a month now. My only complaint is that unlike the CDJ 1000's MK3, they don't give a visual of a song's peaks and valleys. So far all it's meant is that I have to know my music a lot more thoroughly before just throwing it up on the decks. The drawback is that limits what I can play at a gig because of the familiarity required, lest I be met with a surprise. We'll see if it presents any bigger problems down the line

I think that's a great point, but considering the price difference (400 vs 1000), you could buy the 400s and Serato and have full waveforms, along with a plethora of other features.

Frankly I have the 200s and can't really imagine needing much more. The 400s are probably just right, but I haven't used them.

hey guys quick question for the cdj 400 users

Right now i got a simple starter setup Denon dns-1000's and denon x-100 mixer (cant really complain its GREAT for new users) unfortunatly tho, the pitch control is .02 and it kinda throws me off sometimes ...

ANYWAYS.. i was thinking of upgrading to either the 200's or 400's i know the differenc is the MIDI capability, but if i were to get Torq or serato, do both those programs even have effects to use? it would be pointless to get the 400's instead of the 200's if the program itself wont let you use effects... am i right?

is there any other difference between the 2 systems? if so plz explain, thnx ahead of time
