yes Mitchell, the opus doesn't have the Pro DJ Link but only an ethernet link to connect with the pc. So you can't benefit like the cdj of the advantages like using only one usb flash drive, transferting between the gear the bpm info and so on.
Are there any Pioneer DJ controllers that will allow two controllers to connect together, while also using the "link" between the two? I'm not a professional DJ, but I wish to experiment around a bit. I already have 4 CDJ's 2000nxs2's, and a DJM 2000 Nexus. Still, I want two controllers that will speak to each other through the "link" feature to play around and experiment with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
That's a good question. I'm not too sure about linking between controllers, only between cdjs and something like the xz. But I'm sure you might be able to bridge them using a computer and a hum more for Midi capabilities. I'm not sure about the audio aspect, though. It would be interesting to see something like that. Sounds like you have a really nice setup, though 2000's that's a pro rig.
I want the opus , but you say is no good for travel !?? I travel to much , sometimes I have 5 moths without travel … what is you recomendation! Please !
It's about 5 cubic inches bigger than an XDJ and about 5 pounds heavier, so you definitely have to keep that in mind for air travel. Most airlines' limit for checked bags is 50 lbs, and carry-on bags are usually less than 40 lbs, so once you add a flight case, you may be close to or beyond the limit. The Opus is an excellent all-in-one 4-channel DJ controller, but there are definitely more portable options. If you want to stay in the Alpha theta family, you can check out the Omnis duo, not a four-channel mixer but a similar firmware and setup. There's also the Denon Prime 4 and my fav, the RX3. Hopefully, we will see a new RX series with pro features in the future, but for now, it seems like this is our option in Pioneer gear.
Do not think so, The Opus was AT's chance to dip their toes in un-familiar waters and try their luck. It's not really a bestseller and the demand for it is quite low even with a 3800$ price tag. (Europe), And in resent days i'm torn about OQ or RX3 as Pioneer (AT) have something new cooking for release early 2025. I think it's going to be a beast with 4 channels including stems in the package as well.
I have had the Rx3 sins it came out. Shity USB sticks make it freeze and omg the uploading of music from record box is a night mere I still haven't figured that out. I have now paid for my rx3 so it's time to try the Opus now
Do not use shitty flash-drives, i use Sandisk 16/32/128 and Samsung SSD like T3 and T5 but be careful with T7 and T9, they get hot as F and may fry your USB circuitry. Western Digital have worked well since many many years. I bought a Usb cable lock (Cage) for my Samsungs and never had a connection failure or (Emergency loop issue) after that. I would highly recommend people to buy that ASAP if you are in a pro environment.
"The second set of methods involves using Pro DJ Link. This long-standing feature allows you to connect to a laptop and use the Opus Quad in the same way as if you were using a USB drive. In other words, the laptop serves as a large hard drive." Pro Link for stand alone use - docs.pioneerdj.com/Manuals/OPUS_QUAD_DRI1795C_manual/?page=42
I think Pro link is overrated and often to my knowledge broken when you arrive to a gig. in 8 out of 10 times that has happened. So i always bring to matched devices with my music so i do not have to worry. and spare USB-C cables as well as device cages to lock the cable in place
Sure, here's the revised text: "Thanks for watching! I believe you can connect the RMX and DJS to the Opus with a Hub through Pro Link (The Cat5). The TR8 would have to be routed through an open line into the Opus. You may be able to sync them all BPM-wise through Ableton Link ua-cam.com/video/hfs7vbJ0Bls/v-deo.html, but that entails using a laptop, which I assume you would want to stay away from with an all-in-one player setup. I used the DJS with my RX3 and just BPM matched using the pitch fader, which is a little more work but still achievable and will keep you on your toes haha. Hopefully that helps. Keep me posted on your setup; sounds like a fun way to jam."
Why would you, both SDJ 1000 and RMX are overrated as F, i used mine maybe three or four times at tops on tour, i grew out of it in a bout two weeks. Try to improve your technical skills on the controllers instead. If you look at clubs, events and streamers, not many even use the RMX 1000 and it's there just for show. and to spend almost 1000$, that to me is dumb. If you want a simple thing to use, aim for the RMX 500, TWO buttons and you are rocking without missing the gig and drop the audience attention. RMX 1000 is way way overhyped. And the SDJ sounds really bad, for a pro product.

Also, technically, you can run the CDJs into the line inputs. You would just have to beat match manually like you would if you were playing on vinyl-assuming you've played on vinyl.
Yeah and quite difficult to connect Bluetoth as well. took us over 40 minutes in a quite open air space with no disruptors like heavy wifi or bt traffic. Not a good sign, happened several times on different machines as well.
Can the Opus Quad use normal Rekordbox USB drives yet? Or do you have to export special ones by checking the "Opus Quad only" option in Rekordbox DJ? Unless this is fixed no one's going to be able to just rock up and play on it. This library incompatibility is a complete dealbreaker for me.
Yo have just to select in the preferences you like to use both library than rekordbox will as is you like to convert the library. That's it so you can play with anything. The ones who play in clubs and so on knows that so they are ready with both library enabled.
Rekordbox 6 does this automatically if you agree to it and check the boxes. not a real problem. Do not use Rekordbox 6 or 7 on older gear as it will not work with 2000 players and stone age equipment.
Yeah dimensions are closer to the xz for sure but the tech software/firmware are more aligned with the RX and CDJ3000. But your right though would definitely say it’s a great upgrade to any xz user.
The OQ is niched to a specific group, i do not know a single renting firm that have bought this gear for rental purposes and i only know of two clubs that put it their booth. a real upper class hotel club and bougie club as well. Not like the local clubs. And it's certainly not meant for touring. To much hassle and headache if something goes wrong. Id rather bring two RX3, one for perfomance and one for backup
Clubs CDJ’s, Quad? Do all DJ’s know that screen? CDJ’s with a mixer anyone can use. RX3 is more user friendly than the quad. No one has time to figure anything out when you’re live! CDJ’s and a mixer are the way to go!
RX3 is the most stable and functioning controller that is similar to the CDJ 3000's right now, Alpha Theta have something new cooking for maybe release early Jan - Feb 2025, but that beast of a thing will be really heavy and expensive. maybe 4-5K at release

I understand your point that being good at DJing does not solely depend on technology. However, I made the video to help those who use DJ controllers find a balance in their performance. My opinion on the Opus Quad was simply about the DJ controller and its benefits for people interested in Opus or Rx3 for traveling. I noticed that you used an XZ controller in one of your videos, which made me think that you might have received help or guidance from other sources to form your opinion on it. The channel is dedicated to helping musicians and DJs find suitable gear and software to enhance their creativity. It is not a platform for talent shows or competitions like American Idol. As more and more DJs join the community, it is crucial to be welcoming to newcomers and encourage them to learn about the culture and community. I suggest checking out the latest video I posted, and by the way, Happy DJ Day! Cheers.@@BigBoyRandom
With todays portable "control rooms" you want screens, you will not survive with ears only. Trust me, i have tried. I mix between sources like Spotify, Tidle and my usual gear. and most djs will find that difficult. I give you a small tip, buy a controller with broken screen and try to get through a nigh at a packed club, i has happened to me, a XDJ XZ that got liquid on it and fried the screen but the rest worked. Not a fun position to be in.
It's important to get peoples opinions on different topics. and for me all reviews are not especially good or thought out, but when you read the comment sections small tid bits fall out and may help you out in the future
A comparison I would also love to hear about from experienced DJ's, is the OPUS QUAD vs the XDJ-XZ
It would definitely be great to include that in future videos we'll see what we can do.
Great comparison. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thank you great explanation and i love the look and feel of the OPUS this was super helpful..
Thank you for watching I'm glad this video could help!
Both accept laptops? Or they are 100% standalone and is not possible to connect my laptop ?
Both accept Laptop. sorry for the late response we took a little break over here at MGM hopping to be back up soon Thanks for watching and subbing :)

1:59 As far as I know, this is incorrect. I've been told that you can not connect CDJs to the OPUS Quad via Pro DJ Link

I compared them both.......The Opus Quad is way better than the RX3
Which features did you like best in comparison?
OQ have a lot more problems that have to be ironed out. and as a performing dj you do not have the luxury to wait for a solution
There is no Pro DJ Link on the Opus Quad. Only the XDJ-XZ has that for stand alone. Not even the XDJ-RX3 has it.

Yeah dimensions are closer to the xz for sure but the tech software/firmware are more aligned with the RX and CDJ3000. But your right though would definitely say it’s a great upgrade to any xz user.
The screen and features are outdated on the XZ, it's like a CDJ NXS2, and if so i rather use a RX2 to be fair.
It’s heavier than your normal controller - there is a learning curve with the effects on the opus. Otherwise it’s dope AF
Agree 👍🏽 there are so many things that are cool about it but it definitely has its flaws. We’ll see what the future firmware updates hold.
The OQ is niched to a specific group, i do not know a single renting firm that have bought this gear for rental purposes and i only know of two clubs that put it their booth. a real upper class hotel club and bougie club as well.

Yes, Opus is designed for premium sound with multiple output options. RX is just better for travel in my opinion.
