Is it me or...

the mixer is analogue

Isn't it just output that's analog? I thought all the processing was digital? A&H mixers are all analog.

well.... analogue now a days refers to not having a computer involved.

so ignore my last comment.

Actually I think the DJM-2000 is both...It has a digital output as well as analogue.

Either way that shits overpriced unless you are a club generating a ton of cash.

Total douche baggery....People like to show off, he probably had no skillz either.

Yeah, Pioneer have taken the Apple ethos too far...

I think that applies to Serato as well. Itch only works with approved controllers and Itch controllers don't work in any other program.

Not sure who at Serato made that decision, but it's a shitload of fail IMO.

That's not strictly true. The A&H DX can be used with Traktor. It's harder to get right, though.

Same with the VCI-300

Only by people who don't know what that word means. They're the same people that think that input and output stages have anything to do with whether the mixer is analog or digital and that the 2000 is somehow "both" because it has both outputs.

Some of the sh*t I see on this forum makes me want to go back to vinyl.

In answer to one of the earlier questions and/or the OP…why would you buy a DJM2000 and CDJ2000s when a $900 S4 can do the same?

Because it can't.

It can't play without a computer, for one thing. And while that doesn't matter too much to people on DJTT…it does matter in the real world. Laptop DJs are still in the minority…controller-DJs are an even smaller minority…and I've never talked to anyone IRL who knew what DJTT was.

This forum has a lot of good information, but it does not reflect reality.

Now, the DJM-2000 is a complete waste of money and a bit of a piece of crap compared to a lot of other mixers. But…the CDJ-2000 is kind of impressive. No other CDJ can do everything it can, and I think they're worth the money if you have it. The new DJM-900 is a good mixer…it's just overpriced.

There are a lot that are very very decent, and if you've ever used a good mixer…you'll know how the S4 falls just a bit short in the feel department compared to a lot of them.

It's hands-down ahead of 95% of the controller market, but it feels a bit toyish compared to even mediocre mixers from a good maker.

As much as I like Traktor, I'm on it mainly because of budget. There are a few capabilities I actually like, but the more I go out and listen to other DJs and stay off the internet, the more I realize that they don't matter in real life and that just about everything I want to do, I can do with 3 CDJ-2000s and a mixer. Sample decks might make that claim harder, and I'm not convinced that anything below the 2000 is worth paying for (I really like album art…and doing that with anything else would get really expensive).

So, yeah…the DJM-2000 looks like an "I have too much money" sign, but people complaining that 2000s look like someone spent too much money just look jealous that they couldn't.
