interesting. Traktor scratch certified. Whats the price point is the question....
So no 750, but an 850, 900 and 2000? 900 has what over this thing now? A touch strip and two more color effects?Last edited by guiltyblade; 02-23-2012 at 04:02 AM.

Well, if it's $ 1.999, you'd better take an Allen & Heath Xone mixer or go with the Pioneer DJM-900.
This thing doesn't even have a input matrix and knowing Pioneer, shitty FX... Only plus is the Traktor Scratch Certification. Best mixer for home use, R U kidding me?! Talking bout Overpriced...MacBook Pro 13 (Q1 2011) | Adam A5X | Akai APC20 | Alesis QX49 | Behringer BCR2000 | NI Komplete Audio 6

from what I could tell from the youtube, those effects sound pretty decent, at least the ones he was using. But who knows. I don't understand why Pioneer needs another mixer in the same price range with pretty much the same features as the 900 -- why not firmware update the 900 with new effects or whatever? Seems like product overkill.
The scratch certification annoys me though. Why is it that this mixer in a market with a lot of products currently gets certified before it's even been announced and yet NI won't consider certifying the DB line. *sigh*"Art is what you can get away with." - Marshall McLuhan

...or update the drivers of the DJM 2000 to support 4 input channels so I could make it TRAKTOR SCRATCH verified.

I was pretty much looking forward to what this was going to be over the 700/800 but to be honest this has dissapointed me and i am a big Pio fanboy.
It's basically just a revised version of the 800. As said before why is it in this price range? There is now a massive gap laying where people would have bought the 700.
I can't help but think they are just using the 800's popularity against the price.

MSRP 1999? Are they kidding themselves?
I mean…they're going to sell. You know all those "ooh shiny" comments people make about Apple? It's actually true about Pioneer. But, damn. Just makes me want something else even more.
