XDJ-1000MK2: the tough little sibling of the CDJs 

It would be something you would have to request on their forums at www.serato.com

You can pair it with any mixer you want.

@@priyonjoni awesome, thanks!

I guess it also works with the s9? 😊

Yes, it will.

check my comment !

There is jog adjust. You must Open it... +4/-4

check my comment :)

Hard to tell, but you can actually open it up and there is a tension control mechanism inside.

It is not possible.

Yea you can use these on your ddj 1000

It just sounds like any other player and fantastic.

@@Tranzeis thank you, love your channel :)

It's a big improvement

You can do that with any mixer.

Any thumb drive

@@willruiz305 some of the newer super fast USBs dont work (3.2 i think)

Any MBR FAT32 formatted usb analysed with rekordbox

The two XDJs can use pro dj link, the mixer however does not have pro dj link connectivity.

@@m-stat9 Pioneer DJ really missed the mark with this one. They managed to get rid of the CD slot and still find a way to raise the price of the unit. The next iteration of the "CDJ" will have to be phenomenal or they will lose their market position. The Denon tech that is currently available far exceeds anything Pioneer DJ has at the moment.

Actually try an SC next to a 3000... the Denon is absolute crap in comparison, no one actually keeps those players

@@m-stat9 Ive researched all day today about the Denon Sc5000's. I was sold! But........ Analyzing tracks isn't like reckordbox as in analyzing a whole folder etc. The system only analyzes only a certain track individualy. For djs with extensive libraries , this will be a real pita. Next ... Reliability issues consumers have been writing about the Sc5000 out of the box . Audio quality in a few cases and also the link system for anyone with an external with heavy libraries . I hope they continue to work on these things but even the Sc6000 has a lot of the same issues from what I've read . They are definitely alot cheaper but when it comes to quality , pioneer still holds up better

@@m-stat9 I’ve tried both an speak to local shops and they say the Denons are always coming in for repairs. Ive worked in clubs and seen whole drinks poured over CDjs and they keep going. That being said I think Pioneer is heavily overpriced but you also get what you pay for

@@m-stat9 Well, that's your personal opinion and based on the features you think will benefit you, but for others that may not be the case at all. For me personally the lack of CDJ mode, which I've been using instead of vinyl mode since 1994, makes it disqualified in my eyes. I will NEVER use music I have not prepared in advance, and if I would anyway, I have no problem playing a track that is not analyzed. It's kind of what I've done since 1985 until 2012... The wireless feature sounds amazing, but in reality it's utterly useless for me, as I made over 200 gigs during the 2 year before the pandemic, on a party cruise where Internet will not be available on open sea for many years to come. Neither would it work in some deep down basement clubs I sometimes play where they've intentionally blocked internet access and phone signals to get people off their phones. I do like the big screen, but as long as they still had one huge size letters, it was on a level with a first gen CDJ-2000 in regards to what was available on the screen when browsing. That is partly fixed now, but still not as good as it could be, unless you have really bad eyesight. New features and performance updates are still coming, and that could be seen as something good, or you could like me think it's a shame they didn't release a fully working player to begin with. Then we have the ''feeling'' of the buttons and jog wheel. The jog wheels on the Denons are a joke compared to the touch AND pressure sensitive mechanical jog wheels on the pioneer players. Much too heavy and they just never stop spinning, and that is because of the huge piece of metall they're made of. I really don't like any capacitive jog's, but the ones on the Denon series of players are the worst. The buttons (play/pause...) need to be pushed hard compared to Pioneer buttons, so no feeling at all. Has also made a number of users to break those buttons on the SC5000's and they are not cheap or easy to get. And the pads... yikes. That really only is for the controller DJ's wanting stand alone gear and I dislike them just as much on any gear or brand having them. And yes, I have used both the SC6000's and the SC5000's, and I have owned the Prime 4. I will never trade my pioneer gear for any of the new Denon DJ gear. I've thoroughly vetted all the potential models that could have been something I could use, but they just didn't stand the test. Those are my personal opinions based on what I know and feel about Denons new gen DJ gear, and I know most of my colleagues think the same. I will continue to update my knowledge about their gear and software, but I can't see them changing stuff to a point where I'd get interested. What I do like is the competition Denon give Pioneer, at last. That will give all users better DJ products in the future, both Pioneer and Denon, but it also means that every Denon user need to put their money where their mouths are, and buy the new Denon club gear, because I can assure you that I and most Pioneer users have. I assume you have. Tip: Don't ever mention the price and use that as comparison ever, because that already tells that you're not the intended customer. We don't see the gear as a cost, but as an investment, and counting the cost per used hour on pioneer club gear, they are probably the cheapest brand on the market. That is also why the price is of no matter. And please... don't compare reliability and say ''the CDJ-3000 has also had problems...'' The share number of devices out there is at least 1000 to 1, so yes there will be devices from Pioneer having issues, of course, but for us who has been using the club gear since the 90's know the truth about how good the reliability in fact are. We also know how good access to spare parts and certified service repair shops we have when the accident or just wear and tear calls for it. Denon still has a lot to make up for in those areas.

I bought mine last year and I would tell you that they are in fact still "worth it". Everyone has different values and different levels of experience so here's the value that I still get out of these in 2023: 1) I'm a grown ass man who's rave days are likely gone so I like to crank up the house every now and then and I can use USB's to to jump on and do a 10 minute set. 2) I don't need to fire up a lap top even. 3) I use these with a DJM S7 Mixer which gives me multiple ways to use these (HID mode) and when using my lap top running RB I am maximizing the functionality of my mixer which has pads, key play, samples and what not but the fact that I pick the MIXER functionality I want is a huge win...keep in mind I cant use ALL my mixers features if I run these stand alone. 4) They are dead sexy. 5) I was brand new to RB when I got mine so I had to spend a LOT of time researching and learning RB, using the modes doing that home work really taught me a ton more about being a Digital DJ then just using my Turntables and Serato DVS. Here's the biggest downside: Pioneer DJ's support is awful....not just for this product...but they don't even pick up the phone any more. Its all emails and videos so if you need help your going to be on your own so Join some FB groups. If I had to do it over again I think I would since I already had a pretty dope mixer. If I had a basic analog mixer and I was doing a full upgrade I would look into the REV 5 since it is like a poor mans version of my DJM S7/XDJ 1000MK2. Good luck man. Great question. I opened mine and changed the tension adjust and haven't looked back.

@@jgonz3542 I appreciate the response! I’m planning on getting something to mix with soon and have had the DDJ 1000 years ago. Loved it but I didn’t like the fact that I needed a laptop to play. I know there are stand alone controllers but their all ugly in design i really love the classic club look and honestly wish that pioneer made a controller like the FLX 10 but instead of the jog wheels having the display, they put two screens on top of the jog wheels to make it look like a portable club set up stand alone, that would be awesome but pioneer would never do that. I’m looking to get these just for the fact of using usb and going on the fly but the new stem feature on the flx 10 seems intriguing since I’m a producer that would be an easy way to get acapellas from songs to sample so i can see that being a more useful thing. I hope they come out with a 1000 mk3

It’s a more accurate audio connection. Essentially, it bypasses the DAC of the the player going to the mixer so you don’t have analog signal degradation. Also, having two outputs gives you signal output redundancy in case one of them fails. Note, the mixer has to have a digital input to utilize this. DJM-750mk2 doesn’t have digital inputs.

@@priyonjoni oh ok i see.. so what's an alternative for the djm 750mk2? or is not such a big deal? maybe the djm 450?

Joseph Arthur yeah Serato never decided to support the 1000MK2 or the 700

All Pioneer CDJ/XDJs work with Rekordbox

I’m so with you. I like Serato. I have both Serato and Rekordbox.

Chances are you will never see Denon in a big club.

@@TommaurerMaurer I never understood this argument. If you can DJ properly you will be able too play and adapt to anything. 99 per cent of people do not play in clubs.

@@samnaghten4951 Then you don’t need any of this gear. Go get two 100 dollar CD players. Or better yet get used cdj800’s.The point is Manage your music in Rekordbox. Walk in a club. There is going to be a cdj2000nxs xdj1000mk2 and cdj3000. All the work you did in rekordbox will be there when you plug in. It was the same reason for owning tech 1200’s.

@@TommaurerMaurer The Denons can read your Rekordbox playlists so what was the point of your original comment? I use Pioneer gear by the way but have played on both.

@@samnaghten4951 I have heard that Denons are very unreliable. If you like Denon great. The older stuff I always thought looked cool. These I think are as ugly as you can get. Motorized platers. Just one more thing to break. When it all comes down to. I don’t like Denon. You obviously do. So have fun with it.
