CDJ-2000: all the hype for this...

Oh i can do this with traktor since... hum can't remember...

And with the vci and ean's mapping i can do this on 4 tracks at a time and release them sync-ed... And it's less expensive

I have to say, i would love to go in a club with just my SD card (and an other one for backup, even if they are rock solid) and just plug it in and play on 4 decks ! I have to work on my 4 decks beatmatching tho :eek: haha

but.. you only get the software if you've bought the cdj's, so how are you going to prep unless you also have these things at home ?

This has been my point for a while!!! To use in a club your gonna need them at home ...

... and the people saying they would be a cool controller !! WTF!!! Thats some seriously expensive controller .. just buy a full Traktor scratch setup and a controller with buttons and knobs! And you'll still have money to spare.

I think pioneer should have teamed up with a laptop maker and created either a hyrbid PC, or gone full out and done something like the xone 4d.

I think debate about their suitability for home/practice use is kinda a waste of time, the mk3 was by no means suitable for the price conscious dj, it is all about the clubs, which is reflected in the features.

It would be great if pioneer did something directly aimed at our end (/niche) in the market but from the first announcement alone it was obvious it would not be.

I really cant see these being adopted by clubs in the same manner the Mk3 was however because at this point most DJ's who really crave the extra level of control and creativity have all ready switched and by the time most clubs are looking to upgrade that user base will have exploded, and wont be looking back.

I think the coolest thing for us as (mostly) non serato users the coolest thing is that it can be used as a interface which greatly simplifies setup, especially when switching between two laptop dj's.

Don't be fooled. Whilst Pio have put their stamp on the 'pro' market, I bet you that the number of units (from across the range) shipped to individual dj's as opposed to clubs, is much much bigger.

I also don't think that price necessarily determines features. It *may* in some cases reflect build quality, but the very essence of this thread is that you can get everything you want from these babies at a fraction of the price if you go down the fully digital route.

Pioneer need to adapt to this change.

IMO: I think that while the cd djing is approaching the "traditional" digital djing, it is likely that the leap to Traktor/Ableton world becomes smaller for the djs. Especially with these kind of price ranges, controllers like OTUS and Stanton SCDHSFwhatdoyoucallitdecksortofthingie are likely to get more popular amongst the djs, and thus copied by the chinese companies.
