I thought, Pioneer would never release a Serato Version from DDJ 1000! But today is the day 🎉😍 Thank you Pioneer, that you don’t forget the Serato user 🙌

For those mentioning the fingerprints, here's what I've learned. Open up your laptop and turn it on, turn on the controller, then immediately go wash your hands with Dawn dish detergent. Then don't touch anything until you get to your controller and then only touch the controller. It will lessen the fingerprints by about 75%. Afterward, with a microfiber cloth, give it a quick wipe down, and it will be good as new every time.

i did watching 10 plus videos about this controller but this one is the best full review and explanation about the features. thank you for help me understand about my next gear.

This is awesome. Crossfader always ahead of the pack with their reviews!

The amount of times my jaw dropped watching this is insane! Amazing review and never knew half of what I could do in Serato

This was an amazing review, thank you so much. I was having a lot of doubts about this controller but you pretty much put my mind at ease. Now to sell my SZ and break the piggy bank to get this one.

I just ordered the srt1000 and have been looking at other video tutorials to see the features/changes in comparison to the SX2, which I currently am using. YOUR video is hands down the BEST and MOST DETAILED explanation of the buttons and functionality of this controller. Hats off to you for an EXCELLENT demo, I just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work brother. 🔥👊

Really love this video and how you explained what everything does. You basically gave an intro DJ lesson! lol

That was a very good and fair Review of the Pioneer DDj 1000 SRT especially from a professional and a Serato Dj perspective. Pioneer and Serato working together again is fantastic news. Now I am waiting to see if they will add a Screen like the Denon prime 4 or similar to the Pioneer RX2 for Serato..

I am your biggest fan from India. Being following you since past few years. Your Tips have made DJing easy for me. The Videos which you make are just so helpful. Thank You so much Team Crossfader and Jamie Hartley. You have been doing a great job and amazing tutorial and product information videos.

Great review @Crossfader 👍 Finally a version for Serato. I tried the Rekordbox version, but the RB software sucked, so i returned it. This is a great controller by far. -Mike Beats

Wonderful in-depth review and demo. Thank you for putting in the time to make this video, I understand how long it takes to put these together so I'm very appreciative. New sub! Thanks again.

Thanks Jamie, awesome review ( possibly the best one on youtube) and a dream controller👍👍👍👍

Just loved this new product from Pioneer. I wish to get hands on this Beauty soon. Your biggest fan from India.

This is a really sick mixer and a really good presentation. Thank you.

After almost 5 years with a DDJ-SX2, this is my next controller 🙌🏿I love everything about it

Just pre ordered mine today!

That is going to be my Christmas present to me I can't wait to have it

Looks wicked Jamie, great video. I got the Pioneer SZ but this controller looks amazing.

Thanks for the review, I used it to make my mind cuz of this review👍🏼 Good job,

Thumbs up to pioneer dj thanks for bringing out a serato version i will be getting these controller

Thank you so much finally I'm upgrading to DDJ 1000srt thanks for all the info I'm great 👍

Awsome one this time they released. So pretty one. I'm so crazy about this ❤️❤️❤️

I love serato and turntables but, this product is perfect for me, sometimes brings turntables is not a easy work lol, thanks a lot for you time and explaining, you are the best,

Very good in-depth review!

Finally, I got my 1000SRT. Great tutorial 👍🏼

I never had this problem with the pioneer DDJS1. I have just upgraded literally two days ago to the SRT controller before that I was using the pioneer DDJ as one had some good memories good mixes I did

If it had the serato effects buttons it would be perfect but you showing how to midi map those to commonly unused buttons made up for it 🙌🏿🙌🏿

Awesome review and very informative. I have been seeking a Serato upgrade from the SB3 and will likely source the above.

So so helpful, thanks Jamie.

I bought an sx3 8 months ago, but I will definitely sell it and buy this one, great video thanks and very complete explanation

I can’t wait to be on stock again to upgrade!!

Thank you for this! Great help! Well explained!

Definitely getting this asap.

Deliberated long and hard over buying. I tried the FLX6 first and although cool.. was nothing on this. So many awesome features, excellent build quality and the Pitch'n Time keysync feature makes every mix sound perfect. Highly recommended if you have the cash.

II'm a 44 year old vinyl dj. Been mixing since 93. When I switched to Serato about 13 years ago, I thought I had doors opening for me.. but the DDJ 1000 SRT really opens up the imagination. Two dudes can play the same set, and they come out totally different. Thank you for going thru the control surfaces. If not, I prolly wouldn't have purchased the DDJ 1000 SRT!!! Much props yo! It seemed like there was a lot going on at first, but there really isn't. It's all about the DJ! Thanks man!

Finally!! My only gripe is i wished they'd added in pad effects like in Rekordbox

I saw this just uploaded on serato and i was waiting for crossfader to review this lol

Thanks for the teaching class I now understand how to set up my controller

These really awesome.. great job bro

My jaw literally dropped, just bought the SX3 but looks like I will be selling it now🥳

We have Denon DJ and the In-Music Group (owners of Denon DJ, Numark, Rane DJ, Alto Professional, Akai etc) in general to thank for making Pioneer DJ release a Serato version of DDJ 1000 cause Denon DJ and In-Music Group has been in the news lately for releasing solid DJ gear so not to be left out Pioneer DJ needed to do something to win the hearts of DJs hence the release of the DDJ 1000 SRT. But I ain't complaining tho. Thank you Pioneer DJ, I will be purchasing one ASAP

Great video mate. Thanks a lot!

Great review! Thank you.

Jamie, thank for the detailed review. I just picked up the 1000 SRT. It’s a fantastic controller, just a few things I wish were different. I’m using a PS1 (which I already owned) for better loop control and access to the Serato effects. I wish the Serato effects were post fader. I also wish it had a dedicated, external, front knob for the crossover curve. I tried dedicating a button but only a few knobs are eligible (eq, scroll, color effects etc). I wish the information on the jog wheels was selectable, wave forms, position of queues in the track and key would have been nice. Overall it’s a great controller, with a familiar feel. I’m going to sell the Nexus 2 setup (CDJ, DJM, DJS) which I used with Serato HID. Might as well get 70% of my purchase price today before Pioneer releases the Nexus 3, with pads and the value drops drastically.

Great review! Thanks!

YESSSSSSSS , Thank You Pioneer. Take My Money.

All I can say is thank you pioneer 👍👏

Awesome review

Best damn review so far 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

looks like a great bit of kit

Fantastic review. Now all I need is a Traktor version. Native Instruments is slipping on the availability of the S4Mk2 so may very well hang up Traktor all together.

Apart from that amazing peace of technology, the song is nice too. Thanks for sharing both :)

This guy give you the full views of the controller 👌👌👌👌

That’s the DJ controller I’m considering next year

Great review sir

Great video!

Man that awesome!!

Thinkin about getting this!!!

About time !!!!!

Great video! Thanks!

I have been waiting for an SZ3 for like 3 years now and I'm starting to think it's not happening. Guess I'm going to have to fall back to this guy. The white and silver one is dirty.

Great Video!

rock solid and it works perfect with also Virtualdj 2020

About Damn Time

Thank you so much for all the great reviews! I really like the jog wheels and the crossfader on this controller because I'd like to incorporate scratches to my mixes, but the fact that it doesn't have total kill EQ makes it difficult for me to chose between this one and the DDJ-SX3. Any recommendations?

Wow, nice controller!!!

HERE TAKE MY MONEY!! 💰

I use 'Sync' to sort tracks I want to play later in my set into the 'Prepare' section.

I bought the srt1000 2 days ago I was using the flx-6 let me tell you this srt1000 is awesome af 🔥

long wait is over...i finally got it..its back in stock...

NICE ONE BRO.ONE LOVE

I got one for my birthday today and this vid is very informative. Can you do one with tricks and tips?

That's a nice beat!

As always, very thorough review Jamie! Curious if there is a split cue option for headphones on this controller through SeratoDJ?

This machine had a lot of features.

I literally just bought the DDJ-1000, and had to switch all my que points and playlist over to Rekordbox... :/ awesome.....

Nice dj set

Very nice unit

Amazing ! :X

EXCELENT YOU HELP ME A LOT THANKS

thank you for this

I love this board it's nice

I like the jog display is much cleaner than the original DDJ-1000. btw, support its coming soon for VirtualDJ users too.

Damn it looks fresh.

It won't surprise me if this monster could make a fried egg sandwich but it can't make an omelet sandwich . A serious piece of machinery...thanks for the breakdown 👍

Damn! This was a Surprise, Now I will have to sell my SX3 which Still got one year warranty left

very nice!!

you were great, i got the ddjsx2. well im try this 1000 srt., wish it was a needle search on it. for 1299,

very useful thank you

I would like to see pioneer make a controller like this but with a S9 mixer that would be cool 😎

FINALLY!!!!! SOLD

Fantastic overview. Thank you. If you map the Serato effects to the Pioneer SP1 are the Serato effects post fader?

I have to say I Own the DDJ 1000 Reckord Box Version I have had mine since they almost came out I wasn't a big fan of Reckord Box so mine is Mapped with Virtual DJ 8 and I love mine but cant wait to Buy this one cuz if I have to say just as all other controllers out there Virtual DJ will also Midi Mapp this one as well so now i will finally access to all three programs with 2 controllers

Ns7 was one of the ones i know to be serato enabled with motorized wheels

Hi Xfader Gr8 breakdown ! I was under the assumption the two heavyweights of controllers was the Rev 7 & the Rane 4 due to their sublime features . But what i like about this controller is that it doesnt feature Stems which i believes draws too much power & memory from the CPU in the hardware of the laptop . If im wrong then id get the rane 4 . Im more about the effects & midi mapping effects in bundles . So could be a toss up between this Pioneer 1000Srt & the Rane 1. Cheers .

Dammn, cool one!

I am a college student working hard to buy myself a Pioneer XDJ RX 2, but If I won this controller I could save alot of money 👌🏻

Need this
