As a DJ who started out decades ago, using vinyl with Technic decks and loving the build quality of them, I'm glad you have gave a shout out on Denon. I have used Denon for years now and find they put quality and high standards of build into their DJ equipment. They have never let me down and although pioneer captured the DJ market, Denon should have been embraced by more DJ's and deserved a bigger share of the market.
@djcarlo
@djcarlo 2 года назад
Denon is legitimately doing a lot nowadays to catch up I'd say! More and more people are converting to Denon, though it's still a long climb till they hit Pioneer's heights

I jumped on the DDJ-1000 pretty much on the day of release. It was the unit I was waiting for 10 years, ever since moved from CDJs to controllers. I always missed the CDJ jog wheels, DJM mixer layout and characteristics, not to mention the hardware effects. The only thing I would consider replacing it would be a similar but standalone unit. Although the Rane One brings back all the vinyl memories, it’s mixer section puts it out of question for me.

Oh hey this video was released on my birthday! Anyway, I'm new to your channel but I'm currently going through lots of your videos to learn about Djing. I've been an amateur DJ for a few years at a local pub/ nightclub run by students at the university I study at. I was taught by other students who used to DJ before me who were in turn taught by those who used to DJ before them. It's like a passing down of knowledge throughout the years! Though none of us would consider the other a pro, I like to believe our standards are quite high and that we can deliver a great experience at our club, at least that's what our guests say compared to the actual nightclubs around town haha. But I want to learn more, improve my skills and try new techniques so I'm watching your videos to do just that. Thanks for all your great work! Keep it up!
@djcarlo
@djcarlo 2 года назад
Thanks for the kind comments bud! Yeah, I love how DJs pass down information and knowledge to the next generation; most of my skills come from a combination of what others have taught me, and merging them with techniques I tried out and learned on my own!

DDJ-1000, amazing controller helped me get my radio slot! i was looking at getting the DDJ-800 but decided i might as well pay the extra to get the full thing with all 4 channels. ive been having a real good blast on it and still got plenty to learn from it as i'd only really played on smaller decks before like the areo, and numark's if you want the 800, i really would suggest just save that bit longer and get the 1000, even more so if you like to run many tracks on the go its just pure bliss!

I started with the ddj 400 which was great for getting to grips with the basics, but didn't allow much room for further learning i found. Then i got an XDJ-RX which was really fun and powerful too. can get you into club standard mixing on nexus set ups for example. I currently own a pair of XDJ-700S and DJM 450 which are absolutely the best decks I've ever purchased and love them to pieces, so i can't fault them. The best for portable DJs imo is definitely XDJ-RX, RR etc as the ability to use as an all in one without a laptop is so convenient. Just one less technicality to go wrong and a lot less cables

I started to learn how to DJ with the DDJ-200 about 2yrs ago. It wasn't put to use much back then but recently I started DJ'ing again with the Numark mixtrack Pro II. I was able to pickup where I left off and this time a lot more fun learning. Definitely benefited having the headphone preview on the Pro II. After watching this video my next lvl'up controller would be the Pioneer DDJ-800 based on the review & because its light to carry. I've watched your video's back then and always thought your great at explaining your topics to your subscribers. Thanks for the vid brotha!

Since you use the laptop for serato video only does it tax your laptop less? Cause the controller has so much computer content to make serato less taxing?
@dj_cadu
@dj_cadu 2 года назад
@@Timesplitter777 Actually, it draws the same power to the computer as if you whore playing with a regular controller, because when the Prime 4 is connected to the SERATO, it behaves as a regular controller without "caring" any computing functions, it's like you turned off it's computer and changed over to your computer. If you are planing on playing with Serato Video on a higher resolution, I strongly recommend a powerful computer, because it is really a heavy load to the computer. Nowadays I use a Mac Pro, but before 2015, I was using a Sony Vaio i7 with 16gb of ram, and it was lagging, glitchy... Just keep that in mind.

Hey mate, I watched dozens of your videos and the time has come for me, after spending almost a year on only ableton, only focusing on producing (I mean literally only ableton, during quarantine) I am getting my first controller ddj400 next week. My question to you is, primary focus on your videos are on parties and high tempo crowds, but In the country I live, its more likely to start on some restaurants where you probably going to go for deep house/chill house stuff. So crowd controlling is easier for a starter and I think its good for a beginner before starting to perform in parties but, I would really like to know what to do and what to focus during those. What can I do in a gig, to make myself different from a spotify list, in this kind of a work?

I first started back in 2013 bedroom djing for fun as a hobby on and off for years. This year I’m actually trying to self prompt and get a gig. I will attest that the ddj400 is probably the best interns of budget. While it’s not the cheapest one. I love using the rekordbox platform over serato I think the sound is better coming from serato. I really like how rekordbox box doesn’t have much pitch bend when changing tempo. Honestly it sounds better then my ddjsz which has all the effects I love messing with. I will say it as with out having the color effect section on the ddj400 mixer does allow beginners like myself to actually work on smoothness of transitions without over powering effects. I actually primarily practice and use my ddj400 now and my Gucci ddjsz as a recording solution when I use Beatports music streaming solution for high quality acc audio files.

If you want quality, go Allen And Heath. The Xone 43C lets you connect your turntables to Serato without ruining the sound quality (Pioneer ADCs are terrible.)

Nice video. Any reason you don't include any Traktor gear? The S2 MK3 definitely gives the DDJ 400 a run for its money, and the S3 is probably the best entry-level four-channel controller you can get. Traktor Pro as a software fell off for a while but it's been getting some good updates recently and it still could be considered the best for effects and loops. Do you ever play with Traktor / Native Instruments? I'm about to pick up the DDJ-400 myself just to see what's what with Rekordbox but Traktor, especially for electronic DJs, is pretty legit.
@djcarlo
@djcarlo 2 года назад
Thanks Quinn! And the reason there's no Traktor gear here is because I didn't have any to review when I made this video. It wouldn't have been prudent to recommend a controller I had never touched. I did make some new mixes with the S4 recently though! Check 'em out!

I also would love to know how the Traktor units fit in. I have other NI products (both hardware and software) and so staying partially in the NI ecosystem is appealing to me. I have much respect for the quality of their hardware builds, and I enjoy the workflow of their software. That being said, if there is a considerably better bang for your buck, I might go that route.

I switched from Serato to Traktor earlier this year. I've been a Serato user for over a decade, but was fed up with Serato's lack of midi mapping options and clear goal of only supporting controller hardware made for it. I decided on Traktor over Recordbox due to RB's subscription requirement and Traktor's amazing midi mapping options (goodbye Bome). Point is, if you have the patience, I imagine you should be able to map any controller to Traktor.

@@j.w.w.8144 that`s just cosmetics. Traktor was the by far most innovative and best DJ Software in the world 10 years ago - and now they are by far the last - sadly. they just put the minimum effort to keep some value of the brand to be able to sell it one day - but hat has nothing to do with development or evolution. Look what Denon did within the last 2 years on the software side and look what Traktor did the last 5 years and you can predict the future...

DDJ800 is what I started with, so I was lucky! It took my years of touring and playing guitar very well :D I'm getting better at scratching now. Especially into and out of songs. I haven't done it live yet, but I'm almost there! Few more hours and I'll be confident enough. I gotta say some of my favorite discoveries lately are the 1/2,/1/4,1/8 option on the effects knob. Rolls, slips, echo, are just a few, but man, it's really fun before drops, during long vocal parts that are drawn out into breaks, I'm having a blast and in turn, the crowd is! Your content is unmatched man. The dedication to making improvements stands out! I'd say this world is quite different compared to guitar, drums, etc. It's limitless... but also, you'll have people that have been djing for years, telling you that you can't mix a 90bpm song with a 120 bpm song. BLows my mind tbh. IF you have understanding of timing signatures, you can do pretty much anything regardless of tempo. I tried explaining it to a fella, but he kept insisting to use beatsync to "flow" songs together. Not even listening to my mixes :/
@djcarlo
@djcarlo 11 месяцев назад
It's quite a world away from performing with live instruments, but there are times they do intersect! But because of your musical knowledge Johnny, like I said before, you already have a bit of an advantage because you know how the tempo, keys, and other isolated elements of the music works! I'm really so glad you're having a blast with DJing now. And to those telling you to do other things, just nod your head and move on! DJ the way that you feel makes YOU happy! I'm sure you already knew that though haha
