OH I'M HOOKED NOW. Just bought the DJ XDJ-RX3, and just your intro tells me i found the right teacher. ( Anyone that was dancing and DJ in 92' is my friend).. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
does anyone now, when you click info and try to found another track with similar key, is it posiblle that it found that key just for the playlist you are using not for every track you have loaded. Thanks.
I bought the RX3 last week, came from a DDJ Controller to this one. Played around trying to figure out how it works. Your video helped me a lot and now i am ready to dive deeper into mixing with it! Thank you 🙏
I have been dj-ing for 34 years, and my latest buy after the RX2 now the RX3...thanks so much for the very clear tutorial! I learned so much about the RX3 which I didn't know before!
I own a new RX3, started learning last year with CDJ3000s and NSX2, finally got my own equipment this year to start practicing and mastering day by day. This video allowed me to understand so many features and how to incorporate them into the songs I mix with my own RX3. I truly thank you Phil for making such a friendly, comprehensive and detailed review of this mixer, you're helping thousands out here.
Hello, can you tell me if theres some way of Bar countdown to the next memory cue? Some pioneer gear has it, i cant find info on it when it comes ti the RX3
Hello! When creating a memory cue, I see a red bar countdown on the left side of the player (Where you see the key of the song) for the deck where my mem cue was set while also the mem button sets the pointer where the cue was saved. I don't know if this is what you're looking for, let me know.@@EExgle
Just taken delivery of the XDJ-RX3 and transitioning from Serato to Rekordbox and Numark to Pioneer was a bit daunting, however, this tutorial has really helped me get to grips with the kit (which is awesome btw) quickly - thanks Phil, another great video from you! Highly recommend watching this if you're thinking of buying the RX3, or have and want to understand how it operates.

Just got one of these today. I don’t play gigs anymore but was an active drum & bass DJ for 20 odd years. I quit mixing for a few years and bought a cheap Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX during Covid and rediscovered my love for mixing tunes. I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a more professional Pioneer setup for a while but it was hard to justify the outlay when I have no intention of getting back in the club circuit. The thing is awesome. Most of my years DJing were on vinyl or timecode Traktor Scratch / laptop combo. Never had a home pioneer setup before but this was the perfect unit for me. Don’t need 4 channels or inputs for decks as I haven’t owned my own decks in 2 decades. Until now the only time I’ve ever played on pioneers regularly was in the late CDJ1000 / early CDJ2000 era while still playing out. As this unit has a lot of new unfamiliar controls from the CDJ3000 & newer mixers than I’ve used before, this concise and informative walkthrough will be most useful. Thanks!
Got my RX3 last weekend and really enjoyed watching this. Even for a lot of the things I already knew about, I’ve learnt a little bit more about how they work and some extra techniques on how they can be utilised. Thanks for this man, great video!
So glad I found this video and channel! I’m buying the RX3 in about a month from now and plan on dedicating 2 hours a day of practice 5-6 days a week. Thank you for all the videos and help you provide on this!
Heyo, if you got the Rx already, can you tell me if theres some way of Bar countdown to the next memory cue? Some pioneer gear has it, i cant find info on it when it comes ti the RX3
I use a DDJ800. Still love it after 2 years…. I really like the look of this unit & I do feel as a stand-alone it does a great job. After watching this video (Twice) I’m kinda jelly now…. I think I might just take the plunge and order once things are back to normal sales wize. Thanks phill for a really interesting video of this pioneer controller.
Just got mine luckily. Absolutely loving it. A 2 channel nexus setup. Screen is huge. Updated browser controls. Sold all my gear and this will be my main rig going forward.
@@digitaldjtips very lucky. Music Trends in Hicksville NY if anyone trying to get. Seem to have a serious hookup at pioneer. Had XZ’s as well. Seems the DJ market one of the hardest hit during pandemic on all levels
This was an amazing video, I have a gig coming soon an I have to play with one RX3 and I've never even seen one in front of me! So this was like a Bible for me THX so Much! More than 5 Years Watching your videos!!!
Perfect and very easy to follow along! Bought the RX3 for my son's 20th as my wife and found out through his friends that he has taken to DJing like duck to water!( Plus the misses and I are old skool ravers).. I'm having a sneaky go when the boy is out 🤭🤣
Thank you so much, this is by far the best tutorial on RX3. I keep coming back to this video if I forget how to use some of the futures... BIG THUMBS UP FOR YOU SIR !!
Excellent video, I just got my first RX3 and your video is a lifesaver :) instead of googling each button and feature you are pretty much covered all of it
This was an awesome video and I have learnt so much in less than 2 hours that it would've taken me more than 4 hours to learn elsewhere .. fecking amazing!
Thank you for this video!i just got the RX3 and dowloaded the new firmware 1.10 and things are even better!what a great machine this is i LOVE it and quality is top
Wow this tutorial is awesome! Just purchased an RX3 and this video is a must see if you own one or plan on playing on one, thanks so much Phil and Digital DJ Tips, I plan on going through this video for a second time :)
Great video thank you so much for making it 🙏 I have a FLX4 controller at home but I was asked to do a gig on this XDJ and I felt a bit overwhelmed but watching this video really helped me get to grips with everything and I feel more confident now thanks to you ❤️
Just shifted my 2000 Nexus rig to fund one of these and a new more portable/powerful PA system in the hopes of growing mobile and plug and play work and this tutorial has shown just how flexible this rig is going to be for me, aswell as dropped a few maserful hints and tips! Thank you... Keep up the great work!
Just got mine today but couldnt get the waveforms to show on the screen but after a quick google ive learned i need to download rekordbox and prepare my tunes for the usb before i use them. Sorted!
Thank you so so so much for this video! My xdj-rx3 arrived today, and I find that watching this video clarifies a lot of questions I had while reading the 127 page manual😅
Just got mine today, it's definitely a worthy upgrade over the rx2 mainly use for bedroom mixing, SoundCloud and parties, have done a few club sets like but it's just a hobby for me and the wife
Hi Phil. You are my go-to on product reviews at the moment. There are literally hundreds of UA-cam videos that do reviews and tutorials on dj equipment. Some are great and most are so annoying! With yourself, it doesn’t feel biased it feels comprehensive and honest. I myself own a DDJ 400, which is where I started my hobby. I now own a DDJ-800 and am looking to upgrade again soon to a standalone piece. I love Pioneer gear (obviously) and use Rekordbox. However, I also like the look of the new Denon Prime 4+. So many features for a fraction of the price that Pioneer can’t match. Onboard storage, analyse on the fly, streaming (I know Beatport is now featured by Pioneer), 4 channel standalone. I do like the look of the SC6000’s though, cos you get a free LC6000. Only the mixer to buy then you have 4 channels using 2 CDJ’s! However, it’s not Pioneer and that name is all over the clubs and party establishments. I’m seriously considering the XDJ-RX3, which has only 2 channels I know but, would be my first standalone and a piece of kit for sure! Great channel Phil, keep up the great work. Andy Mac. 👍🏼
Hey Phil, thanks a lot for the tutorial! I learned some things that I did not know this unit could do by watching the entire thing. There is one point that you mentioned in your guide that is incorrect. It is NOT required to have a second USB drive to record your DJ set. USB 2 is the only slot from which you can record your sets, but if you put your music USB drive into slot 2 you can play your tracks and record your set from there simultaneously while only using 1 USB drive. This only works with the USB 2 slot but not with the USB 1 slot. I like this unit overall, but I cant help but be annoyed at the fact that on this huge screen you can only select one extra parameter for the track information when browsing your playlists. Other than the track title, you can only choose ONE extra field to display the artist or the bpm when it could easily all fit in there. The only way to display all track information is to use the info button, but by doing so you need to change your focus multiple times while the information you want displayed should be customisable. Also the lack of simple features such as a bar count on the display is a bit disappointing. This unit, to me, feels like amazing quality outdated machinery.
@@zappers1000 Coming from Traktor on a laptop (and still using it plenty) I do feel there is a need for more info to be available onscreen while selecting tracks. A bit more of depth in this regard would make losing the laptop so much easier.
Wished there was crossfader reverse on this unit. but its still a great unit. I'm having fun mixing and playing when I get home as a release from a hectic work day. This gets me ready to dj on CDJs on the weekend. thanks Phil for the great video. much love to Digital DJ Tips.
Thanks for making this! I bought one immediately but won’t get round to spending time in it till January, and this video will be a great help! Thank you indeed!
Hello, can you tell me if theres some way of Bar countdown to the next memory cue? Some pioneer gear has it, i cant find info on it when it comes ti the RX3
I just got this bad boy and I must say I was a little reluctant of the smaller jogs I’m use to xdj xz and cdj 3000 jogs but this feels terrific very portable size and everything is familiar I’m so glad I chose this over the rane one absolutely love this unit thanks for the video 👍👍
Great video! I have a question maybe you can help me with… when i hit the play/pause button on deck 1, instead of dropping it does a repeat like a super fast 1/4 beat and i cant figure out how to turn it off. I have no idea how it got turned in, and def can’t figure out how to turn it off. Even when i power the rx3 on and off it still does it. 🤷🏻 Any idea what it’s doing? It sounds like a really fast beat loop!
Awesome video! I already have the CDJ 2000nxs set up. Just pick up XDJ RX3 because a lot of venues I dj in like bars and lounges are too small for my 2000's. Thanks for the comprehensive review! I learned a few things watching this vid but the real reason for watching was to learn how to change the play mode from Single to Continuous. Don't laugh..LOL
Thanks for this video! I have a comment and a question. I'm a little disappointed that they don't have a 32 beat jump (a full 8 bar phrase) and I also find some of the color effects not as useful as some of the others that Rekordbox offers. Is it possible to remap either the performance pads or the color effects in Rekordbox and have those remapped functions carry on in the RX3? I've got a handful of remapped functions on my DDJ-800 but I'm not sure if that works the same with a standalone.
@@digitaldjtips do you know if its possible to map an effect onto one of the pads? I would like a one touch effect where the track stops but it 'echoes' out. it was something I used in my Traktor days.
Great lesson, I learned a lot from you. Thank you for the wonderful video. I'm returning to playing music after a 25-year break. I don't know if I'll succeed... Best regards from Ireland.
Quick question! I see how to import my settings from my usb to the rx3. But how do you save those settings from the rx3 onto the usb to play on other gear like cdjs or another rx3? Are those changes automatically saved? Also separate question for anyone who can answer. On my rx3 I made several changes to beatgrids and added hot cues and want to import them into my main library. When I plug my usb into rekordbox and, when syncing, hit the left arrow to transfer the grid and cues those changes do not show up in the main collection. Am I missing something? Thanks
1:43:28 I cannot select the "My Settings Menu"? Any idea why? I also cannot change the background color. It has the color blue as default. Both options are locked (shows up in "transparant" and the touchscreen does not react when i press on them.) TIA
I actually have no idea why this might be the case - do you have a USB with a Rekordbox library on it inserted? Not sure why that would make a difference but the first thing that sprung into my head.
Hi Phil. Can You please tell me is the crossfader upgradeable with innofader mini and importantly is it a solder job or is it just a click on when replacing please and thanks. Just about the right standalone for me nearly. 😮 👍🏻
Which of the two would you recommend? Pioneer XDJRX3 or Denon Prime 4+. I see the Denon has more connectors to run turntables and so on. But does it have the record connector? Also, is it easy to connect Serato Dj Pro to the Denon
Thank you, very informative and interesting tutorial, and great teaching ways. Just one comment, I was able to record my set on the same usb the had my tracks, it was recorded in a file called Pioneer Rec., didn’t have to insert another usb drive.
Great tutorial, but I am having an issue with zoom/grid function because nothing happens when I push the touchscreen for grid or I hold the rotary button for few seconds. I am using RX3 as standalone with usbs and not as a controller. Also the software is updated to latest version. Any ideas what can be the problem?
Thank you for the great review... I had a question. Is it possible to add a CDJ to this? Im confused because I see the back has RCA's for it. THank you
OH I'M HOOKED NOW. Just bought the DJ XDJ-RX3, and just your intro tells me i found the right teacher. ( Anyone that was dancing and DJ in 92' is my friend).. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

What rekordbox version you have, and did you get it free because you have a controller?
Yes it comes with controllers
@@digitaldjtips But how did you download it, because you need to pay for the core plan before you download?
Great tutorial! I'm taken aback by the RX3 not being able to display Artist and Title simultaneously. This is a deal breaker for me.

I have no idea how it got turned in, and def can’t figure out how to turn it off. Even when i power the rx3 on and off it still does it. 🤷🏻
Any idea what it’s doing? It sounds like a really fast beat loop!
Obviously check the loop feature isn't turned on either on your hardware or your software, other than that, no idea!
@@digitaldjtips not a good omen if you don’t know how to make it stop! Maybe I’ll try updating the firmware 🤷🏻
It's because you have it on CDJ mode and not Vinyl mode. CDJ mode will stutter stopped trck.
OMG you are still alive😂😂😂 i watched so mutch years ago
Still alive last time I checked 😀
Awesome video! I already have the CDJ 2000nxs set up. Just pick up XDJ RX3 because a lot of venues I dj in like bars and lounges are too small for my 2000's. Thanks for the comprehensive review! I learned a few things watching this vid but the real reason for watching was to learn how to change the play mode from Single to Continuous. Don't laugh..LOL
We're not laughing, it's always something small like that!
Thanks for this video! I have a comment and a question. I'm a little disappointed that they don't have a 32 beat jump (a full 8 bar phrase) and I also find some of the color effects not as useful as some of the others that Rekordbox offers. Is it possible to remap either the performance pads or the color effects in Rekordbox and have those remapped functions carry on in the RX3? I've got a handful of remapped functions on my DDJ-800 but I'm not sure if that works the same with a standalone.
Not sure without checking David...
Had fun watching this video and practicing my mixes. This tutorial is great. Thanks. 😎
Glad it helped you
Thanks millions. I really needed this video
you're welcome
thanks a trillion ❤
Brilliant tutorial. I've just purchased the RX3 (my first Pioneer bit of kit) and this is so, so helpful. Thank You.
Glad it was helpful!
@@digitaldjtips do you know if its possible to map an effect onto one of the pads? I would like a one touch effect where the track stops but it 'echoes' out. it was something I used in my Traktor days.
Amazing tutorial, thanks!
You're welcome!
Omg that's amazing what You just explain. Very powerfull guidance 💯🔥
Glad you think so!
Can you adjust your settings / preferences on the DJ XDJ-RX3 and save them to the USB and when you plug it back in they load up ?????
Yes, you set these things on Rekordbox on a laptop and export them along with your music to your USB to use with the RX3.
Great lesson, I learned a lot from you. Thank you for the wonderful video. I'm returning to playing music after a 25-year break. I don't know if I'll succeed... Best regards from Ireland.
Good luck!
Quick question! I see how to import my settings from my usb to the rx3. But how do you save those settings from the rx3 onto the usb to play on other gear like cdjs or another rx3? Are those changes automatically saved?
Also separate question for anyone who can answer. On my rx3 I made several changes to beatgrids and added hot cues and want to import them into my main library. When I plug my usb into rekordbox and, when syncing, hit the left arrow to transfer the grid and cues those changes do not show up in the main collection. Am I missing something? Thanks
1:43:28 I cannot select the "My Settings Menu"? Any idea why? I also cannot change the background color. It has the color blue as default. Both options are locked (shows up in "transparant" and the touchscreen does not react when i press on them.) TIA
I actually have no idea why this might be the case - do you have a USB with a Rekordbox library on it inserted? Not sure why that would make a difference but the first thing that sprung into my head.
Awesome thank you 👌🏻 every day is a school day 👍
Glad to help.
Hi Phil. Can You please tell me is the crossfader upgradeable with innofader mini and importantly is it a solder job or is it just a click on when replacing please and thanks. Just about the right standalone for me nearly. 😮 👍🏻
Nice watching your video. I'm in this for 30+ years. I am looking for a new part 5 of the book. ;) Moved to Romania and there is a big market.
Excellent, have fun DJ in Romania
This was a life saver! Thank you
You're welcome
Tank you very mach
Great video!
I just ordered XDJ-RX3, I wonder, Can I use the performance pads with just a usb stick or do you have to have the computer plugged in?
Yes you can!
Which of the two would you recommend? Pioneer XDJRX3 or Denon Prime 4+.
I see the Denon has more connectors to run turntables and so on. But does it have the record connector? Also, is it easy to connect Serato Dj Pro to the Denon
Yes you can record on the Denon, and yes it works with Serato.
thank you so much this was so informative for me I have just got these x
So glad!
@@digitaldjtips I’m reading your book and then I’ll be in touch
Thank you, very informative and interesting tutorial, and great teaching ways. Just one comment, I was able to record my set on the same usb the had my tracks, it was recorded in a file called Pioneer Rec., didn’t have to insert another usb drive.
Yes, that's true - thanks for the update
Great tutorial, but I am having an issue with zoom/grid function because nothing happens when I push the touchscreen for grid or I hold the rotary button for few seconds. I am using RX3 as standalone with usbs and not as a controller. Also the software is updated to latest version. Any ideas what can be the problem?
Thank you for the great review... I had a question. Is it possible to add a CDJ to this? Im confused because I see the back has RCA's for it. THank you
Kind of, but only as an audio source, and remember it only has a two channel mixer, so basically, not ideal.
