nice little crash course on cdjs. I'm finally ready to make the jump from a traktor controller and this has been awesome, along with your other vids, thank you sir!
The future is nuts, I can remember lugging round a record boxs back in the 90's, love vinyl but don't love the weight. These days just one usb drive running on multiple decks is insane, in a good way. My only concern with one usb being called by 4 deck could put quite a strain on the stick and fail. Anyway amazing.
Dude. I really appreciate that you take many things into consideration when doing your research and making these videos. You don't brand bash and you're not all super "purist". It shows that you really care about the craft and the implementation of all this tech. I still remember dreaming about a lot of these concepts. The features of all these competing companies have something to offer all kinds of DJs, with all kinds of budgets, to play for all kinds of situations. Just depends on what you wanna do. Cus at the end of the day, its not as much what you play, as much as it's HOW you play. Thanks again man. Love your work. Might have to pick your brain some day. Not many people on the level, ;)

As far as I remember, CDJ-400 (which appears to be completely hidden from search results) was advertised as both being capable of reading MP3s from a flash drive and being able to connect via USB to a computer. I really loved their flanger effect right on the deck...
5:56 CDJs have far less latency than DJ controllers-*inherently*, just like I suspected! *Finally*, I've found someone saying this! I've been trying to figure this out for hours and days. Thank you! 17:25 CDJs in DVS have more latency than analog turntables. Thank you again! 20:21 CDJ-100 in DVS relative mode & CDJ-1000 in DVS relative mode do the same thing (or at least are very comparable?) 36:40 Export mode lets you manipulate files from your computer with better latency than DVS & takes processing load off your computer @Pri yon Joni, If you did a video on DJ setup latency, it seems like a valuable topic because I've been having trouble finding reliable info on this. If anyone knows of a resource on latency in DJ rigs, please let me know!
I started off with the original pioneer cdjs in the early nineties(500 I think), walked into a music shop and saw it, was just mesmerized, love at first sight. Saved school lunch money for a year to buy one and a soundlab piece of crap as the second deck.
from my experience always have 2 usb always have rca cable and ethernet cable also bring your laptop with 2 usb cabels for hid mode if you decide you need it
You mean totally 4 USB cables? I am going to another city to dj in small clubs and pubs with CDJs, XDJs, etc. Why do you suggest RCA and how many do you suggest? Ethernet cable also how many should one carry?
@@ishanshekhawat to honest they will probably need no more cables and bring your USB but it's good to have an ethernet a rca to rca and 2 hid cables incase you need laptop
@@alexlapo4986 Yes I will take these all. Btw, I am carrying a laptop, a Motu M4 and a DDJ 200! 🥳😄😄 Plus have 2 pen drives too for emergency. I like the HID mode the best, so will have to make sure the venues CDJs are not connected via just Ethernet. They gotta be via lan.
Hi, first of all congrats for your channel. I can say this is the most interesting channel on UA-cam. You’re great and you’re doing an excellent job. I’m an old school hip hop dj and I always used turntables . I still use my 25 years old Techs ... 😉 now after watching your videos I decided to buy my first controller and I got a Pioneer DDJ 1000 SRT. Everything seems so strange to me but I have to practice with that to improve my skills with this new equipment. Could you do a tutorial on how to mix hip hop with the controller, giving some transitions tips, fx tips and so on ? Thanks a lot and keep on doing what you do because it’s so good .
i am new to this and never knew about That first tip of exporting from rekordbox to the flash drive. its been on my mind for quite sometime even though its just a simple tip thanks for that. subscribed.
@@priyonjoni i dont know if u can help me with this but i have a ddj - 1000 and when i try to cue the next song that i want to play and mix in i can’t hear it on my headphones. i’ve tried hitting the cue button, checking the headphones settings down on the left of the ddj controller and nothing seems to work. my speakers are connected to my laptop so maybe that has something to do with it i dont know
Thanks for these videos Pri yon Joni. Always appreciate how detailed and informative these are and how passionate you are. Just one slight thing is there a way there can be less edits for these videos?
it would be cool if you could talk about the improvements made to the performance and export mode connections. since the XDJ-RR it's possible to use export mode via USB and since the NXS2 series it's possible to use HID via Pro DJ Link (LAN) if the DJM is connected via USB. i'd really like to know if it's possible to use export mode via USB as well when only the DJM is connected via USB and the players are only linked to the mixer, and also which players support exactly what setup types.
13:30 Lol i know i guy who still uses serato scratch live, he says it's more stable and has never crashed on him vs serato, (and he's used cdj 900 for ages) And technically he has a point lol.
VirtualDJ is HID though ;-) And is also official ... l www.pioneerdj.com/en/support/software-information/cdj-2000/ for example. Although not always listed, true. Depends We work with the hardware partners in most all cases, and implementation is done in cooperation, and welcomed by.. :) But yes, we have support for most all hardware as you mentioned ...
Hello! My apologies. As I mentioned, upon my research, I didn’t see VDJ listed as a supported software for the current devices. You are correct in pointing out the 2009 CDJ-2000 mentions VDJ support. I remember it mentions being able to integrate with Serato, Traktor, Ableton and VDJ. I mentioned VDJ at the end because I wanted to highlight the fact your platform supports so many devices. UA-cam only allows us to edit and cut parts out after upload, or we would have to reupload the video. Would you prefer I remove the segment all together? Or rather would you like me to mention the correction in the pinned comment? That way I can correct the information. Also, great job on the stem splitting feature! The integration with the EQ controls was a well thought out design! Would love to keep a dialogue open with your company to verify information. I don’t work in the mobile industry so I don’t ever cross paths with VDJ users. Facebook groups and online forums aren’t the friendliest place to ask questions, so would love to have contact with folks from the company. Please let me know what you think!
I still use serato but I needed to wait for the denon pro from New Zealand because the old serato was outdated so I had to get the new Serato even though I got an extra interface was helpful cause I could use any mixer with USB or Not I still use 3 Cdjs by Pioneer 900 I am not going to update everytime . I use what I have it works for me being I play Soulful ,Deep house no problem I know I can use a flash drive ,Mp3. Mp4 CDs I am still good using serato on 2 Decks and a drive or any thing else with interface I can double but it's like using 2 Computers
Thank you, quite impressed with the knowledge. If you would allow for a small digression, i would ask if it is conceivable to mix in synch with 2 toraiz sp 16 and a mixer, of course? Appreciate your input Regards
@@priyonjoni How would that be? Possibility for djs 1000 to be master (not slave only like TSP16), in standalone? Did you know you could set RKB as master and plug TSP16 in Export mode? Please let me know, i would greatly appreciate :-)
Hey Pri yon Joni, what's the pioneer studio monitor model that you recommend for DJing home? in one of your videos I can't find the video where you mention this.
If you tryna play clubs or collaborate with other DJs probably best to go with Pioneer. Z2 is still dope but unless you're lugging it around, you wont see it almost anywhere.
I've seen you connect two conntrollers to Serato so was hoping you can help me out. I know you have an S9, but hope you can help with the Rane Seventy. I'm wanting to get the new Seventy, and wanted to use a CDJ as a 3rd table. Can I use a CDJ connected usb to the laptop, then the rca's out to the Seventy Session, then use the Session knob as a fader? Also how would I use decks 1 & 2 on the Seventy and the CDJ as deck 3 in Serato?

That's true, too. There is no longer such thing as dedicated video DJ media players.
I ordered and cancelled multiple sets of cables and hubs while watching this video. Lol Sorry amazon.
Thanks for the video! Super helpful.

Very conclusive. Thank you.
What a decent overview
I'm interested in knowing the four ways on how to use cdjs.
Awesome video, very clear explanations, I found a lot of good information here, thanks a lot!
To me HID mode is way faster than playing from an USB. Tracks load so much faster. HID is the best use of a CDJ, love it!!
It’s great, but outside on a sunny day, not so much.
from my experience always have 2 usb always have rca cable and ethernet cable also bring your laptop with 2 usb cabels for hid mode if you decide you need it
Great tip! I always carry these when I'm working a place with CDJs!

What is HIDmode? What are turn tables? What are time codes?
You got a sub out of me for this one. Thanks. Great stuff.
Trivia: Could it be the DMP-555 with DJ Booth, later DJS. If not, it was the CDJ-400 used with Traktor.
HID Mode all day
Perhaps I am not viewing this correctly, but can the laptop be closed but hardwired to the ethernet link to work in Extract Mode? Thanks
Is there a way to use Rekordbox FX when the CDJs are in standalone mode? Rekordbox FX instead of the mixer FX
I have the pioneer Xdj 1000 mk2s also. I cant get it to work in Hid mode in serato. Can you?

Can I start DJying off one CDJ with my MacBook Pro using instant doubles feature without a mixer? Or do I need a mixer to get started?
You will need a mixer.
