Crossfader when will you have a course specific for this controller?
Crossfader can you send me a link on where to buy the you and I track. I know you said it’s called you & I - belfort, but I can’t find it anywhere
DDj-1000 or DDj-800?which one should i go for..?what's the benefit of a 4 channel controller?thanx
Hi again mate see when you’ve recorded a mix how do you snip the bits you don’t like in it ? Thanksn
@@sachs8809 I used Shazam and got it.
Purchased immediately, Best Bang for your Buck that I have seen in 20+ years. Incredible controller, only downside is the learning curve for Rekordbox.
Just bought last night and it is ace! Love the fact I get everything in one unit and I can use my DJS 1000 with it too. Really looking forward to mixing with it.
"You and I...!"
@DJ PROJECT You & I - Belfort. Found on Soundcloud
Emblazoned in my head forever now
@Rynad DJ i think it s unreleased
One of the best product reviews I’ve seen on here. Great Job!!!
My partner bought the last one available in Australia. So glad we got it, loving it so far. Theres so much to explore 😍
Lucky bugger, hoped you enjoyed Ddj 1000 to the fullest! 👍
I have just spent a week researching whether to buy the rx or the rz. I saw this controller in suggested vids and thought it was around 3,000 usd. Once I saw the price, and features I immediately bought the 1000. Best controller, closest to cdjs, and lowest price. Hands down, the best by pioneer
Love your reviews. I'm getting one tomorrow. Bought the ddj rx last week the day after I bought it I found out about this. Needless to say that I sent the rx back to get this. Super excited to get my mitts on it
I was awaiting for a video like this. Thanks for sharing with us. You just helped to choose which controller to choose. There is no brainier this is going to be one of the best controller on the market with such a good price. Keep doing a good work 👌
Great review Jamie. I like your objective and fresh kind of reviews a lot! In my opinion the best in the market (worth a lot because its coming from a German ;-) ) I've ordered my DDJ-1000 yesterday - it will hopefully arrive next Monday. Sold my RZ last week, immediately after the press release from Pio. regarding the new DDJ. Used my RZ in conjunction with a NXS2 setup (RZ for training purposes on a different location) and imho this new combo (DDJ-1000 / NXS2) setup will satisfied my needs much more than the old combo. And finally: an unbeatable price. Concerning software - I used all of them: Traktor (outdated), Serato (more or less equal to RB), Prime (very buggy , unstable and 2 years behind the leaders) RB (actually the fastest evolving DJ-software on the market with plenty of unique/good features, could be a bit more stable)
Great presentation. You are a man in the right place.
Thank you
great review. answered all the questions i had even the price range in compression to the other controllers by pioneer
Bought an RX last year so will definitely be chopping that in for this. Great video mate....and nice one for getting one before everyone else.
Really amazing unit, I love It! I think options to customize the jog wheels displays would be the icing on the cake. For example if they could make the other decks beatgrid appear each side like cdjs do, option to hide the bpm, zoom into waveform.... etc. At the moment you can hide the hot cue, artwork and adjust brightness thats it. Aside that i would fully rate this controller it's excellent.
Fantastic review! I have been thinking about switching from Serato to Rekordbox and buying a new controller. Still debating it over in my head. This really helps me understand this controller and more, Rekordbox. Thanks!
Have you upgraded? How is rekordbox?
Thanks for the review. One thing I was Pioneer did was keep the effects consistent across their mixers.
wow! i was totally saving up for an sx2, but this thing has completely changed my mind about that. can't believe pioneer is practically giving this thing away.
Pioneer have totally nailed it with this controller.... awesome stuff!
Does this work with traktor ?
Jack Pelan No
Just tested this controller in a store today. And what a great controller, definitely my upgrade for the DDJ RR!
Really nice video AMIGO keep doing it you’re so helpful.
Your review make me start think to purchase that controller... Very good review!!!
We’re glad you enjoyed the review!
yep. im considering sx3 and this 1000 after 4 year with sx. I like the jogwheel and crossfader like this.
@@minhjay9750 the crossfader is dodgy, I bought one two weeks ago.... When centered on the ddj 1000... The software crossfader is off centered... Its a problem loads of people are facing... The makers are bushing people off about it... They say its supposed to be like that
This is exactly what I wanted from a controller, switching out my ddj-rz now :p
You're a great presenter, mate.
I was deciding between RZX & 1000 and your video helped tremendously.
Great to hear!
Just purchased my DDJ-1000 last Friday. Impressive Controller...
I will buy this unit, it is all I need. Incredible!
Sam Bosman dude I saving up as we speak smh
Does this work with traktor ?
@@jackpelan1208 Yes, with mapping settings
This is a super well made video 💯👌
Thanks. We’re really glad you think so!
Totally awesome!!, great overview!! ive just ordered mine yesterday, gonna be a big step up from my Denon DN-S1200's
Excellent demo! Definitely buying this one!
how many times did everybody hear you and I?
I am not a big fun of dj controllers (more prefer CDJ or the standalone XDJ range) but this looks very interesting to me so will give a try and see if the DDJ 1000 is any better than my RX2 (or RX1). So just ordered one!
I think if you would add 2 screens and make it stand alone... hmmm... that would be the heaven for all mobile djs. :D
This aged well
Excellent review. The pads were explained so well.
I ordered one this week! I absolutely cant wait for it to come in!! Great video!
How do u feel about Serato vs. Record box software???
Which is better? And can u map this unit too Serato?
I received it yesterday : it's amazing
The jogwill are insane !!
Yeah they really are! I love how they’ve fit the full size jog wheels into a smaller controller rather than having to get something the size of an RZ/SZ2.
How is the build quality compared to the more expensive controllers which you mention? I can see the knobs aren't the same as on the DJM900 NX2.
How does it sound? The sx2 sounds like shit but the sz sounds great. Where does this fit in?
Da Last Word the build quality isn’t that great. For @ home ok but not for travelling I think. But I’m just using it 4 days so.
can anyone tell me if you can midi map this to serato
just got mine this week. still playing around and trying to figure out all the functionalities but thanks for the awesome review!!!
OMG this is a sick controller I can't wait to get one. I did not want to pay for the DDJ sz2 but wanted a controller and had 2 sound cards for when my friend and I are djing.
Personally think this is a statement of intent from Pioneer, This really is a great piece of kit and when i heard the price i was very surprised. I really think Denon have rattled their cage a little and we are going to see some healthy competition in the future which in turn is going to be passed down to the customer in the form of lower prices.
halcyondaystunes Denon haven't got a patch on Pioneer. No way josé lol
Can you change the jog display layout? Looks a bit cramped to me. And how is sound quality compared to other pioneer setups?
Yeah you can change it slightly and take certain features on and off.
Sound card is 24 bit/44.1 kHz.
The BEST review on ddj 1000.
Thanks
I have it for over a month now and it still amaze me like the first day.
It’s sure proven to be a popular controller!
Hi, I have a dummy question! Can I hear music through laptop speakers when is connected to the USB?
Kostas Alevizopoulos to the best of my knowledge you cant since the ddj has a sound card and it takes precedence when connected....
If only Pioneer would make a hybrid of the XDJ-RX2 and the DDJ-1000! That would be the ultimate game changer for the home/bar/wedding setup. The DDJ-1000 would be perfect if it supported USB's, needle search/wave form option via 7" screen, vinyl speed adjust, release/start. Send/receive and Rec Out on a controller would be nice. Price tag of £1799 and they will not be able to make them fast enough!
I think the USB slots are the only things it needs for Ddj 1000
What the XDJ RX2 should have been. This with a touch screen and USB stick/standalone = perfection
Kere Amohau What I would love to see is 2 separate screens (no stacked waves for visual beat matching. And the exact same browsing work flow as the the CDJs
I think if they make an rx that does all of that it will kill their midlevel mixer market and the xdj 1000's sales too. IMO
Well Denon has the 8000 ... They can keep ignoring the 4 channel stand-alone option all they want.
They already killed the RZ ... who in their right mind gonna pay 2k for it when the 1000 is better?
I have some dj sets organised through rekordbox and saved to usb. Could I use a USB with Rekordbox files on them to play on the rx2?
After buying the 1000, and owning the RZ, I can sort of agree, but they are different animals. The RZ really opens up everything in Rekordbox, with the 1000 its a bit more work to get deep into the software, specifically the easy search functions, gridding functions on the fly, and effects parameters. The jogs feel ok on the 1000, but IMO the RZ feels way better. Much more solid feeling. The 1000 does have the best crossfader I have felt in Pioneer gear, but I feel the jogs are closer to the XDJ line not the Nexxus line.
Yeeeees the video Iv been waiting for,nice Jamie I shall watch after work 👍🏼
Enjoy!
Thanks for video,defo getting 1 this is what Iv been waiting for about time the sb2 gets sold on lol,be good to see a Sunday skills video using this controller & it’s features
Keep up the good work bud 👍🏼
Ordered mine today! Should be here next week! 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
How is it
Nice device. Love the jog wheels. I‘m just missing a touch sensitive needle search + recordbox dj only is an aspect, where i’m unsure about. How is the software running? Do you like it in comparison to Searto DJ & Traktor? I‘m a Serato DJ user for 3 years now & it didn‘t crash once on my MacBook
I use Serato and Rekordbox religiously. Both strong pieces of software.
Rekordbox has been really stable for me recently. I prefer DVS with Serato still but rekordbox DVS still works well. Just a personal preference.
I feel like rekordbox is closer to a hybrid of traktor and VDJ visually whereas Serato has a really clean simplicity to it. Again personal opinions... you can perform just as well with either software but this is definitely an exciting product from Pioneer. This would be perfect for any regular CDJ users thinking about a controller.
thx for your reply, exactly what i was thinking. in clubs i play usb, but would love to have the great jog feeling at home for a more humanous price point than a "cdj setup". DDJ1000 seems to fit that spot very well. :-)
yep, i think the needle search is the only thing that lets this down but its not a deal breaker.
yea i'm with you
Already purchased it can't wait to try it!
awesome breakdown of ddj1000🧨🧨🧨💪🏾💥💥Keep making more!!!!
Would this be a good first controller for a beginner who would ultimately like to mix with a CDJ setup but can't afford it yet?
Technokoma these are better than cdjs
Bryan Calhoun Most, if not all clubs around here have a CDJ setup though, which makes it kind of necessary to know how to use those.
In case you were never answered. Yeah. It would be great. You might even start to miss features from the controller.
i dont think so if u have the money go-ahead but it would be best if u start out with something cheaper such as the ddj-sb2
for beginner buy ddj-rr
Should i save a little longer to get this or should i buy a used DDJ-RX? And btw a comparison with the XDJ-RX would be great!
What did u end up buying?
@@2sunami i bought a used DDJ-SX2 for about 500€. I can really recommend this controller with Serato
wow its great one, I love DDJ-1000, gonna make it as my first controller
This is amazing review my friend. Great job!
How is the build quality compared to the more expensive controllers which you mention? I can see the knobs aren't the same as on the DJM900 NX2. Thanks for the video!
Yeah, I'm curious about that too. Are the pots metal or plastic?
Great question there,I'm also wondering about the same
wondering the same...
The build quality is similar to the SX2/RX range rather than the bigger controllers. The pots are plastic not metal. Jog wheels feel the same build as CDJs. All in all its built well but the bigger controllers will be more robust for sure!
The pots are plastic.
WHO ELSE STILL WAITING FOR A STAND ALONE CONTROLLER WITH SIMILAR OPTIONS
?
Also for Serato 8)
There are 3 stand alone controllers from Pioneer that are available now. None are for Serato.
Everyone my man :)
XYZZYX SRT 😂
I got mine all setup this morning, I am a beginner but I can tell that this deck is quality, I already feel like a better dj.. the thing is bad ass
I have already pre-ordered it. 50 in back oredr in Canada. I just bought the DDJ SX2 last year. this is exactly what I was looking for. shame it didnt come out a year earlier. Anxious to get it in. Probably April b4 I see it though.
It looks like a fantastic controller for those who want more than an SX but aren't willing to buy/carry a SZ around, however I'll only be investing in one if it's supported by 3rd party software providers, I'm still not convinced that RB is quite there.
I'm using RB as my main DJ suite for 2 years already after extensive Serato & Traktor use. Trust me, they are "there" yet.
That may be the case, but it really depends on how many features/functions you use daily in a different program, that you wouldn't want to lose, yet aren't implemented into RB. It's functional and has some advantages, but it doesn't tick all of my boxes yet (yes I'm fussy).
Name one, plz?
They are pretty much the same for features, just implemented in different ways....Let me take a guess you have an iphone or mac?
I'm not going to get into a debate, but I beta test for multiple platforms and have been using DJ software since 1999. Once you've invested serious time into one system, you come to know it inside and out, switching is no longer something of trivia like it may be for a more casual DJ.
Waiting impatiently for zzounds to get it in stock.
David G.S. Triplett me too lol
how much does it cost
Great demo review Jamie , you definitely get a bargain for this controller compared to the ddj Rz as you said about £500 quid off just waiting on getting this controller but glad I watched your review on it keep up the good work Jamie
Got this controller and it's AMAZING!!
2 7” screens for browsing tracks, 2 USB type A slots for a thumb drive and not having to use my laptop with this exact design... I’d happily pay 1000 more. Kind of feel pioneer failed on that one... But this is the current best mimic of an actual club set up without the 6k price tag.So I’ll roll the dice lol
You can also buy a banging i7 ultrabook for that extra 1000k and enjoy a bigger screen, more ports and a lot more. Just sayin...
If this thing had flash drive capability my head would of exploded smh lol
*would have
does it work with virtual 8
Would have bought in a sec if it had capability to play off a flash drive. I throw small parties and I do not have any dj friends that use rekordbox on a laptop. I just sold my nexus set up because it was such a pain in the ass to bring everywhere. I guess I'll have to save up for the Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ.
@@nathanbliss8259 Yeah sounds like a better deal
just sold my traktor s8 ddj rb and pioneer ergo and my pioneer djm 750 mixer and got this coming and the unit to control all my lighting with it this is a game changer in so many areas
Thanks, this was the best talk thru.
Please keep up that great style.
And yes, I will buy one of these...
We’re glad you enjoyed the review! We hope you have as much fun on it as we have!
You got one already!!!
Yeah! 🙌🏼
Many places are selling them already.
Really? I thought that they're coming out only in February(?)
Do a quick search online. Lots of places are stocking them early.
Like where? Haven't seen any North American stores..
UGH that song tho.
It's called you & I (1644)_Master from Ojay beats. But I can't find it anywhere :(
@Columbo And what is the original version?
I had the SX since it came out....Time to upgrade to this controller...I like the size and special features
You won’t be disappointed.
Great in-depth review mate mine on its way to me right now really looking forward to having that club standered set up for a fraction of the price ..
i wish they came out with this a year ago, i would have totally got this instead of the ddj rx for 200 dollars more.
Sell and upgrade. I only bought my RX in Sep and di just that.
Magin1985, yes thats my plan, i think. I will probably do just that.
Bryan Scarpino I’ll buy your rx mate
Brad Wilson, maybe we can work something out. Ill get back at you.
I do quite like this, I’m an RX user myself and though missing some of my favorites in loop slicer/slicer mode, sampler record etc, I really want some of the features here such as the mobius effects and the keyboard haha 🤣
The song sounds a bit annoying for review, too much 'You and I' being repeated. Besides that, everything of ur video is so great as always!!
Will keep that in mind for our next review. Less vocals... 👌🏼
Love the video and very nice and detailed explanation!
Thank you for this video ! Amazing one with an amazing product
shame theres no official bag for it, so cant buy one yet. dont need a flight case.
buy handmaded hard case. Or buy furniture and make by yourself, it's easy
this is sick. Great review. 🙏
And then there are the extra features that now come with recordbox DJ such as rekordbox lights wich can be controlled from the controller and the new plugin Lyric. Worth mentionning those too. This is an absolute beast imho and Pioneer have outdone themselves again with this. The ones that are so catching my eye are this one and the XDJ RX2 wich is only 400 more. Man this is difficult. :)
Hey, thank you for the informative video.
How does it work with recording over usb? Does it function the same way on both A and B? Do you have to sacrifice a channel on the mixer (like you had to historically do with DJM 900/2000)?
Thanks in advance
AKSO
Great DDJ.. . . .Thanks for your review I love it! Now to get a LApTOp.
I am absolutely in love with this controller. It's a few hundred dollars more than the SX2 I have already. But the fact that it features REAL cdj jogs (mechanical one's), is a huge plus for me as I love the feel of CDJs. The price is a huge statement by pioneer. They could have easily charged $1799 for this controller or more as the RZ is way more than the ddj 1000.
Agreed. The price is amazing!
Great review. This is gonna be huge for Pioneer. Guessing it will be released as the DDJ-SX3 for Serato later this year
soo good review Mate!
Im puttin one on lag away friday....cant wait..great video
Bad ass!!! totally agree Jamie best parts are jog wheel and performance pads!! Very surprised at that price too! I was expecting more since like you said, there are higher priced ones on the market right now. I want to trade my newly purchased sx2 for one lol
I love this Controller, as soon as the Mapping is done for Virtual Dj 8.2, I will be thinking about trading in my DDJ SX2 for it,
Has the mapping been done for VDJ 8.2?
thanks what u do! love your vids
just got mine yesterday tokk 61 days ....but got ......loving it ...going to try efects and stuff .....
Thinking about upgrading from my DDJ FLX6 to this or an 800 definatley want this now thank you
Very good demo thank you
Great video and explanation!
One question for you. I know that there is a RST button in the export 2 player mode but I can’t seem to see it in the performance mode. Do you know where I could find it to easily rest tempo of songs?
Thank you!
got mine loving it
For this particular controller, due to the jog wheel displays, do I need to use my laptop as a screen for track selections or connecting to a USB?
Thinking about trading my DDJSX in and getting this one, it's dope!
Really nice review!
I'm thinking of Buying the Rekordbox version of this as I'm visually Impaired and am about to start getting gigs so I want something exactly like this because It's cheaper than CDJs and It will help me get the layout a lot easier especially in dark environments!!!!
This is by far the best Controller I owned. Whenever I deejay in a Club on CDJs I don’t have to get familiar with the DJ booth. I even miss the pads on the CDJs so I sometimes take the controller to the Club nevertheless. 😉
great in depth review
I am thinking about upgrading my equipment. Been using Numark Mixtrack Pro II for almost 7 years now I think it's time to go more pro. I just absolutely love this model and the jog wheels just look so good!
Hi. Do you need to select the channel for the sound effects to apply about from the new once?
Thanks
Thanks for the review. I'm going to buy it tomorrow as my 1st dj gear.
Well did you?
@@theubtubbros I did
@@dwaero you still using it?
@@theubtubbros yeah
Hey Jamie, when your turntables are connected and your rekordbox is active can you mix both the phono and line channels simultaneously, digital and records at the same time? I was told it's possible with a dvs subscription. (Can you mix/record vinyl and tracks from laptop storage at the same time?
Great video, fore it's a toss up between this and the SX2/3, which do you prefer? I've seen the gold SX which looks stunning but I can not stand Serato. Does the SX map to Rekordbox dj?
