  • Pioneer DJ's CDJ-2000NXS has been the industry standard player since it debuted in 2012. Now, four years later, they've released its successor, the CDJ-2000NXS2, along with the DJM-900NXS2 mixer. For the first of two reviews, Mojaxx looks at the CDJ's new features and determines if they're worth the hefty price tag.

    for what they ask for, load times with 16 hot cues should load instantly. it should have a i7 in it 😊

    Loved this breakdown… Do you feel the same way at this point… I am deciding whether to go with the used 2000s or used NX 2's… My friend keeps telling me that buying used and then having them tuned up by a pioneer specialist is the way to go… I have the 850's at this point…

    Just watched this after purchasing sc5000's, I don't play out. Apart from the pioneer "club standard" pish I hear from everyone I don't see how this does anything more than what I have, in fact it has less features. Seams to me that people buy the name first and then equipment second.

      100% agreed, even more as the SC6000 and the CDJ3000 came out, the gap is still huge, the price gap even more. Not ever going to support the monopolist again.

  • @Djtonydraper
    @Djtonydraper 8 лет назад +8

    Great video/review. I completely agree with everything you said. I own a 4deck nexus set-up & recently picked up a pair of new Nexus along with the new DJM900 & the new decks are cool but I really do prefer my original nexus. The nexus 2 are slow as shit when loading & it's really annoying. The extra hot cues are cool but I use my original nexus's with my DDjSP1 so I already have 8 hot cues on all 4 decks. Everything on the new players are ok. I like the new search feature. Works great but as a whole. Nothing to write home about. The mixer on the other hand I really like. All the little improvements made to that are awesome. Especially in the effects section. I really like the mixer a lot & to me it's worth buying if your a pioneer junkie. It sounds better & is a great improvement. As for the new players I can barely tell the difference in sound. It's like I can but can't. lol. I don't know if I'm tricking myself when I say I hear the difference so I personally can't say for sure. Lol

    I forgot...... if you have the New DVS update installed, could you PLEASE tell me if when connected via Pro DJ Link and using full collection from laptop, Can you load tracks to CDJ's using loading knob from the hardware and if wave forms shows up?

    • @Mojaxx
      @Mojaxx 8 лет назад

      I think you're mixing up 2 different things... If you have it all setup just over Pro DJ Link, then yes, waveforms are there and the players behave just like they would with a USB stick. Search on our DJcity channel for Pro DJ Link Tips for a video about that.
      The new DVS plugin is purely for timecode control, so most features are lost from the CDJs - you're just using them as a 'dumb' CD player.
      HID mode is kind of half-way between the two.

    • @MHSG31566
      @MHSG31566 8 лет назад +1

      +MojaxxVDJ Thank you for the fast reply, and I get what you said...It. Is just that I am that kind of guy that likes to have the laptop with the setup and I was just looking for a way to load the tracks into the CDJ's without using the mouse and dragging the songs to the icons at the bottom of the screen when using Rekorbox DJ in absolute mode.

    • @Mojaxx
      @Mojaxx 8 лет назад

      +MHSG31566 When setup with the link, and the software is NOT in performance mode, it is literally just like playing off a USB stick, with your entire library accessible FROM the laptop, but ON the CDJs. Everything behaves the same.
      And that applies to all players with the link facility, not just the Nexus 2s.

    • @Mojaxx
      @Mojaxx 8 лет назад

      +MojaxxVDJ So yes, track selection from the players is just like when playing off a USB stick.

  • @danquay9504
    @danquay9504 5 лет назад

    Thanks for your knowledge a explanation on this awesome 😎 Pioneer CDJ
    What are hot cues? I’m not sure if ever need them?
    I had nurmark 2 channel mixer then sold it when I started out
    I like numark as read the reviews I starting out with a Nurmark party mixer 2 channel, does this CD J compatibility with Virtual Dj as I got it?

    • @MrJustjuiced
      @MrJustjuiced 5 лет назад +1

      Dan Quay hot cues are cues you can set within a song that corresponds to a hot cue button.
      When you hit that button the song will cue from that point.
      You can also do this on the fly,play them in slip mat mode or preset them on your software.
      I personally use them to cut out long sections in tracks or extend short tracks.
      Great for getting to a starting point that matches the mood of the crowd.
      Hope this helps

      No, it just goes straight into the CDJ and controls all 4 (if you have that many!). It's really dope, just needs the deck assignment tweaking.

    These are 2275 euros in my country. (brand new, authorized seller, price is for ONE CDJ 2000 NXS2). As this is way too much, my question is - are CDJ 2000 NXS one worth 2700 euros for a pair (used, no warranty)

    • @dg20038
      @dg20038 5 лет назад

      Yes, because it's pretty similar to nxs2 but also it's very useful if you are ok to only have 3 hot cues. Trust me it's worth it. For the price go for it. Be sure that the screen is still good though.
