DDJT Full Review: www.digitaldjti...
The Gemini CDMP-7000 Professional Media Workstation is a substantially sized two-decks-and-a-mixer controller containing two fully featured media players (CDs, USB, SD card and Midi control, plus built-in audio interfaces, and a three-channel analogue mixer.
With features to appeal to mobile DJs, DVS DJs, and home DJs who want a controller they can DJ CDJ-style on as well as using computer software, it certainly seems to offer excellent value for money. In this Gemini CDMP-7000 review and talkthrough video, we'll assess how well it performs, so you can decide if it's for you.

100% that cool uncle who let's you play on his turntables, and if you break a needle he doesn't whoop your arse😂😂😂😂 You can tell he's a good bloke 👍

Ha! Cool uncle! I'll take it :)

@loneerv 9 лет назад

in my opinion, I have owned this unit for over a year and so far it has only crashed on me twice. that was because i was pressing a bunch of buttons and it couldn't catch up. if you're just pressing play and blending/beat matching you won't have any issues. either way I am very happy with this unit. before i bought it i knew nothing about CDJ2000 and now i can just walk up to one and play it like nothing, just because this unit is extremely similar to them. again, in my opinion, they have been among the best home units I've ever invested in.

TONE DEFF-K hey Man U still using this counsel at home any problems ?

@gillerz11 11 лет назад

Thank you for this and all the other reviews you guys do. Before I buy any new gear I check to see what you have said about it. Very fair reviewing.

@plaedien 11 лет назад

Thanks Phil, I've been waiting for you to review this for a long time! I think you've sold me. One of the biggest problems with being a digital DJ (especially one who is still learning) is the temptation to look at the screen and waveforms. As you say, this unit seems perfect for the price point to learn the manual beatmatching craft. cheers!

@actfray 11 лет назад

I still use CD's and mp3's to DJ weddings. After having bad luck with both Numark and American Audio all-in-one units, this Gemini looks promising. I especially like the USB accessibilty. Thanks for posting this review!

@digitaldjtips 11 лет назад

Yes, to use with this you need a Rane interface.

@diylife1688 4 года назад

@CDAMAGE1000 11 лет назад

@hodaridaniels8786 4 года назад

I like this DJ console, really nice it has clean pristine sound like the Pioneers got it is so identical you can't tell the difference. The same as Gemini CDJ 700 which those are the ones I own along with a Reloop dj mixer.

@digitaldjtips 4 года назад

Glad to hear it :)

@Anonuser95 11 лет назад

no you can't change the mixer.the cdjs are the same with just smaller jogs.and both the cdmp7000(only cdjs) and cdj700 are midi mappable

@Djtonydraper 8 лет назад

Great reviews.. Thanks for sharing.

@NicolasDjNicky 11 лет назад

yes it works but thats a lot of mapping files i really love usb port and jogwheels , i really recommend this gemini 7000 i love it hope this help you.

@MultiDJTT 11 лет назад

Can't remember you discussed those? Or have you done that in the other review of the other Gemini's. And I was then too lazy to check out that video too? ;)

@Bwii4 11 лет назад

great review ! but what about the quality of the product ? Gemini is known for many mistakes with it's controllers. Did you encountered such difficulties during your test ? Does the unit works well ?

@JenKoRecordingz 10 лет назад

I'm using Rekordbox, can it read mp3/wav of my usb/sd-card using Rekordbox? Will it see my rekordbox playlist? Or do I need a separate usb/sd-card? Can I make a playlist?

@johnnyd138 11 лет назад

great review, Phil

@Reticuli 11 лет назад

I'm surprised Gemini hasn't found a way to both share memory devices between their decks (even on this integrated unit) and also allow changing between MIDI and internal modes on-the-fly. Reported issue. This is something the Versadeck (and its gazzillion other brandings) has no problem with, in spite of its other issues (lack of AIFF support, time-based jog rotation in internal mode, etc). You'd think Gemini would have found solutions to these oversights considering how much else they get right

@digitaldjtips 11 лет назад

Yes

@TheDj8X 11 лет назад

This is a nice solid, heavy, robust, mature unit. Do you have any idea of a flight case that would fit it?

@paolosibilio5262 10 лет назад

hi guys i have the same controller but the vinyl mode on the right side not working. and the left side crash after 20 min. make me stressed . please any one know how to fix it

@acewolf3005 8 лет назад

attempt to update the firmware?

@EclipseandSun 9 лет назад

Wanting to get away from the laptop mixing. Was a lot of fun but think it is time for an upgrade. Very happy to see this out, it looks and seems to function well and that is awesome. Not looking forward to playing at any local clubs here but I do enjoy mixing as a hobby and friends, but shhii...wouldn't mind playing at a club once and a while here. Anyway great review looking forward to buying this soon, hooray tax return! Thanks!

@MarcAnthonyBarron 9 лет назад

Awesome video! Could I utilize this set up for both home and dj preparation? I'm just beginning and I plan to dj at house parties and clubs. Is there any pros or cons?

@Weaver_Games 11 лет назад

IMO depends on if you want waveforms or not. Also, this unit does not have a midi mixer to my knowledge.

@DNBNitrate 11 лет назад

So In order to use 3 channels you would need to connect another cdj?

@BOOMigiveudiarrhea 10 лет назад

this was very helpful, thanks man

@kabimbikalubi5436 7 лет назад

So when he says the mixer will do absolutely nothing with the software...what does he mean? SO if I turn up the volume on the mixer it won't show on the software?

@digitaldjtips 7 лет назад

Hi Kabimbi, the mixer not Midi-enabled, so it can't control mixer functions on your DJ software. That means you use it with DJ software in "external" mode, the software acting as library and decks, but the Gemini hardware acting as your mixer. Hope that helps :-)

@MrOMAR650 10 лет назад

I want this so bad. In my opinion, it's an upgrade from most dj controllers. Like phil said, it's a good way to transition to a club setup. I can't afford a pioneer setup, this will do.

@josephky-mani 9 лет назад

so the mixer is good if you want to avoid auto gain if you lower the gains or what exactly is the bad effect of the mixer to a software?

@Mauricemauricee 11 лет назад

well the quad has 4 channels, and works with ipod,ipad and every thing, but this has more functions on the cdjs

@skinndp1988 11 лет назад

Its a real pity that the mixer is not midi compatible. I always feel like there can be a full through and through all round decks and mixer to play all formats. But they choose not too??

@ryandadamnfool1 11 лет назад

What would you prefer between this controller and the Stanton SCS.4DJ Digital DJ Mixstation and Controller?

@dstephenson16 8 лет назад

My only issue.. Is there anyway to look over or scan through a whole wave form?? In other words what's the best way to scan a track to set a cue to get it ready to be brought in without spinning the deck like crazy to fast forward

@digitaldjtips 8 лет назад

Good question, honestly not sure (don't have the unit to test) - you can always ask our Digital DJ Tips Forum (www.digitaldjtips.com/forum), where the whole community can see your issue and hopefully help out :)

@Flohoriaaaan 11 лет назад

So...i cant use the mixer when mixing with virtual dj or what? Than i don't understand what's the point that you can connect it to a pc...or i just didn't understand the whole thing...

@DNBNitrate 11 лет назад

Ive looked at some work stations/controllers and they have 2 CDJ style jog wheels that can be used to control the 3/4 channels that the unit has. I'm guessing the fact that is 2 CDJ's and a mixer stuck together means its not the same as for example a Numark Mixdeck Quad which is a 'controller'?

@dougjones21 10 лет назад

hi Phill,i got myself a Gemini cdmp7000 and was wondering what kind of case I can use with it

@Laxlii 3 года назад

when Gemini was making something special like this. where is gemini now that denon is taking over the standalone market?

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

I believe they finally got their latest version to market, certainly aren't competing with the top end but that's not really their target

@1039jose 11 лет назад

Also a lot of the functions don't work when in midi mode such as the slip mode.

@Weaver_Games 11 лет назад

I know you wrote this a month ago but no, you won't be able to do this as the physical mixer will not adjust the virtual mixer in Traktor.

@Jackaustin95 11 лет назад

i have a pioneer DDJ-ERGO but i would like to get something more professional and pioneer CDJ/DJM feel, i do use CDJ1000's and a DJM2000 in college that i get regular practice on and i was just wondering if i should get this for my home to practice on, so should i sell DDJERGO and get this or just stick with it?

@ryandadamnfool1 11 лет назад

And would this be good for a beginner as well?

@jasonrose3674 10 лет назад

Why does this have bugs operating Traktor, right deck works in reverse and and it pitches +50% when nudging the jog wheel. Also if you want to switch one of the decks away from Traktor to say USB while the other one is playing a Traktor file it kills Traktor all together so you have no sound during the set. BTW Gemini suppoert sucks, they are aware of the bugs but have no interest in fixing them

@XXXREMIX 11 лет назад

great review . looks amazing :)

@HouseDuh 11 лет назад

Is this good for beginners? (im okay with the price and i dont use a computer)

@skanknastysounds2169 10 лет назад

@djpatrickpache 11 лет назад

I REALLY NEED HELP I don't quite understand the part with the mixer. Can I connect this controller to my Laptop, run Traktor, and use both decks AND the mixer the same way as for instance a Traktor S2?

@DjMk3e 11 лет назад

what do u think? This or Pioneer XDJ-R1?

@migueljonas12 11 лет назад

So, you can connect the players (cdj's) to an external mixer? In case of an issue with the analog mixer.

@videokallui9305 9 лет назад

Gemini CDMP-7000 or Pioneer DDJ-SX for mobile dj?

@sournoize275 11 лет назад

I use a Reloop Mixage Interface as my Dj controller and I want to start mixing like in club and as well to scratch, would you recommand that for me ? I'm interested in this product basicly for his price because 2 CDJ's and a mixer is way more expensive... Is it basicly the same as if I buy 2CDJ and a mixer ? Thanks for the video

@jpnumarkpimenta4638 8 лет назад

What softaware could i use for midi? I dawnload serato dj and it isnt connecting

@steviediezl 11 лет назад

Ok I need to get this straight, alot of money is on the line. I began mixing starting with the traktor S2. I want to move up, upgrade. I thought about doing timecoded turntables, i still might if i can get a nice "controllerist" mixer (like the traktor z2, rane 62, djm 900) but i like controllers so i was pretty much set on the DDJ-SX. Now, are you saying this gemini wont work like an S2 or DDJ-SX? What do you mean the mixer wont work with the software? im confused

@YouriHL 9 лет назад

Hey Phil, Question. During the video you said that the analog mixer will not be usable in dj software. I'm looking to buy new gear and this one fits in my budget. I've been using Traktor S Pro since early 2012 and although I háve learned dj'ing the analog way, I lost touch of it. Now, I was looking into adding a turntable for all the lp's I have lying around, this device handles it well (so I've heard). So, just in a nutshell, can I use this unit all the way with Traktor ? Yes/No. And what do I need to record my mixes ? Thanks in advance ! I might also go for the Pioneer XDJ-RX, but I kind of wánt the Pioneer RMX-500, because it's been on my wishlist ever since this little brother of the RMX-1000 came out (which was on the list before :P).

@Dasta20 8 лет назад

I'm not phil but I have one of these and yes you can use this, it just doesn't control the software it changes it externally so there is a setting you will need to change, it doesn't feel any different you just can't see what it is doing on the screen of your computer which isn't a big deal :)

@YouriHL 8 лет назад

[TheMilkMan] super, that's what I needed to know.

@KelvinLee1990 11 лет назад

Ive been looking for a case to fit the CDMP 7000 but i can not find one. im considering just buying a mixdeck quad case and lining it with some craft foam for a snug fit since the mixdeck is .7in. longer than the cdmp 7000. do you think this is a good idea? A custom case is not in my budget right now.

@silviugizmo 11 лет назад

I want to buy some dj gear becouse I want to become a better dj and try to practice at home really well,I want to get some second hand gear for example : 2 cdj 1000 mk 2 or 3 and a djm 400 from pioneer... is this gemini controler better then any of them and in what way what are the advantages by having those pioneer gears and what are the advantages in having this gemini console does the gemini have any setbacks in sound quality or something like that? I am trying to get the best gear for price

@pringleheed 11 лет назад

hello phil. i play disco, latin, deep house, tech house, funk and soul. i have £310. american audio vms4.1 or the stanton djc.4 or the denon mc3000 or the twitch. i want to be able to manually beatmatch well, good sound quality, i dont mind what software, i want to create good loops for those awesome funk and soul and disco bass lines. i dont mind about size and weight. i tried to sign up to your site but i havent been authorized yet hence why i am asking on here. this is for parties and bars.

@techstyle123 9 лет назад

Is there any other units worth looking at....I don't want a laptop involved.... USB...SD...jogwheels...easy to carry...all in one unit

@digitaldjtips 9 лет назад

techstyle123 Look at the Pioneer XDJ-RX too.

@joaofezasvital 9 лет назад

+techstyle123 same here.. I was really happy to find gemini GMX until I found out it doesn't have one single effect control knob, fader or button.. it sucks

@Weaver_Games 11 лет назад

I'm torn between just getting two cdj-700s (as I have a mixer already) or just getting this thing. I do know hybrid mixers exist (analogue + midi controls) and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with these? I might buy one and sell my S2. I also have turntables so a 4channel mixer would be awesome.

@tommasogiovino7370 11 лет назад

Can i use the 2 cdjs with an other external mixer for example connecting both their out-lines to a djm 900?

@djhowdnz 11 лет назад

so with the effects, you cant use the controller???

@TheNuclearDust 8 лет назад

Will this controller still help with the transition to club equipment since this video is already 3 years old? I'm currently using a Traktor Kontrol S4 and the only thing that is stopping me from DJing in bigger clubs is the lack of knowledge i have about club equipment.

@digitaldjtips 8 лет назад

+RephleX Here's an article about playing on any gear, in any situation: www.digitaldjtips.com/2015/07/5-essential-skills-for-djing-in-any-situation-on-any-gear/ I wouldn't worry too much about your lack of club gear knowledge - if you're comfortable with basic functions, beat matching, etc then you shouldn't have any problem. You could also see if the venue will allow you to come in early, or for a few days before your gig to get familiar. The Gemini controller is still similar in look and feel to club Pioneer gear, although not exact, but would still give you the general feeling of Pioneer equipment. If you want to get something for home sessions to have a more seamless transition to club gigs, I'd look into the Pioneer DDJ-RX Rekordbox controller www.digitaldjtips.com/2015/11/review-video-pioneer-ddj-rx-rekordbox-dj-controller/, although with having Traktor Pro and an S4 this may not be a consideration for you. You could also just pick up one Pioneer CDJ (or rent one!). Let us know how everything goes :)

@slidas18 11 лет назад

@shugrin8096 9 лет назад

thanks.

@rakeshkahan3986 8 лет назад

the whole sorta point on this product is to have basically 2 cdjs and a 3 channel mixer all in one which is why it can output each deck to a dvs unit for example. this means the usb wiring is just for one deck and because its a budget style it doesnt have a link function like the pioneers

@benquattrocchi6588 11 лет назад
