  • Hey guys,

    Im purchasing second hand Pioneer CDJ 1000s or 850s to go along with my DJM600 Mixer, and before anybody says that I should be hopping on to the newest technology of the controllers, I came to using the Pioneers only in the last year and feel that I missed out on using the industry standard and have gotten very comfortable using the CDJs, and I don’t think that clubs are going to suddenly replace all the CDJS with controllers and laptops at least for a few years, they will probably replace all the decks with the Nexus 2000s if anything. I also feel the music I play (hardstyle/trance) calls for more seamless, hands on mixing that I can do well on the CDJs, as oppose to some music genres that might benefit more from the many features, pads, loops and effects built into the modern controllers and tools.

    I need a bit of advice on wether I would benefit more from the 1000 MK3’s Hot Cue and Jog wheel adjust features over the 850’s USB Port, because i’m using a friend’s 850s at the moment, they are a great deck and the USB function is handier for quick access to songs, I like a firm grip on my jog wheel, and I think this may be why I would appreciate the 1000 MK3s better, the seller said to me I will appreciate the jog adjust after a while of using them, I haven’t used the hot cue function before, but I assume you set the cue points up on Rekordbox?

    I’m getting the decks at a very good price second hand, so I still plan on going through with it, and I am reluctant to buying a controller, I really hate the idea of laptop software and controller driven sets, I’m old school, if I need to upgrade in the future (which I probably will) then yes by all means, pass on the controllers, but at the moment I could do with some advice from you experts and fellow DJs! I want to get a deck compatible with Rekordbox if (software wise) it is going to be the main software used by DJs who use CDJS in the future, I’ve only had a play around with Rekordbox, I need to seriously catch up!

    All support appreciated!
    Peace & Love,
    CK

    I’ve used both, and I have to say, using the 850 with rekordbox is a lot better than burning cds all the time for the 1000mk3, just plug in a usb stick to each deck and away you go.

    Although rekordbox has changed since I used it last.

    I never really changed the jog wheel adjust on the 1000s as after mixing a couple of songs you get used to it, anyway.

    the displays on each are about the same. 900/2000 displaus are a lot better.

    I would pick the 850s over the 1000s, and if you dj in a club with there own dj equipment, most likely 850/900/2000 you can just use your usb, and you would have already had your music sorted through rekordbox.

    Of the two, yes the 850 is the better choice.

    On a side note, you can find it either via the terminal - using flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP as command - or the Package Manager from AppCenter. Not only will you be enjoying a modern. MacOS: /Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/. This one-liner will do the job: download release 1.0 into Downloads folder, unzip and copy patch files, then remove previously downloaded zip: curl -L '-o /Downloads/PhotoGIMP.by.Diolinux.v2020.for.Flatpak.zip && unzip. An easy way to compile and install GIMP and other great Free software on your Mac is by using Macports. The installer allows you to choose from a large directory of packages. To install gimp using Macports, you simply do sudo port install gimp once you have Macports installed. PhotoGIMP is a free patch that customizes the GIMP user interface to emulate Photoshop’s, while also changing GIMP’s default shortcuts to match those of Photoshop. This patch makes it easy for longtime Photoshop users to switch to GIMP without. Photogimp mac.

    As for your other statement: You are wrong, sorry.
    Dbeaver download for mac. What I have seen in the last 2 years is: Clubs do not replace anything anymore. If you bring your controller then OK, if you happen to have no controller use their old CDJs. Of course some bought the Nexus lineup when it came out, so they are good for some time (usually they buy 5 year warranty package).
    I have asked about 15 club owners the last year what they are seeing and the response was:
    About 50-60% (so more than half) of the DJs are now coming with controller. So when their lease and warranty runs out they will only replace the house mixer and expect that the other DJs have switched until then too.
    Only 1 club owner responded differently and he will buy a DDJ-SZ.
    Of course 90% of my gigs were in Europe last year, so I cannot speak for the US, but usually the US is less conservative than Europe, so I expect that to go the same direction even slightly faster.
    I only had 2 gigs in Asia, they actually had no CDJ setup anymore and expected you to bring a controller. But I have no idea if that is the norm there and I forgot to ask.

    Disclaimer: I’m not a fan of Pioneer and the last time I used a CDJ it was to put something else more important on top of.

    I would go for the 850’s and get your head into Rekordbox. I’ve had to research them and Rekordbox like mad as I’m using a pair along with vinyl decks for a forthcoming rave. I actually quite like Rekordbox as a preparation software, and the fact it’s free is always nice.

    The only downside I have seen so far is the lack of cue point buttons on the 850’s, unless I’m missing something.

    Edit: If you already got a mixer then going for the CDJs if they’re a good price and in good nick is probably your best option in my humble opinion.

    Well I am from Europe and my DJing is international, so getting gigs in Europe is my bread and butter work 🙂 I was more excited about the gigs in Asia 😉

    Actually from an investment standpoint, investing in outdated technology is never save. So calling the 850s save is not what I was going for. The 850 is the better CDJ of the 2, but in no way do I recommend buying one. You will be buying outdated and limited useful gear for a premium price point. Same with the DJM 600 you already have, it is very outdated and its functions compared to good equipment are very limited.

    If I were in the same situation I would sell the 600 as fast as I can and before value of CDJ and DJMs drops into the cellar and get with the new program. If I wanted to still be prepared for CDJ like environment then I would chose something that has a similar feel like the DDJ-SX, SX2 or SZ and be done with it.

    +1 for Terry

    FYI, Terry and are both Old Skool too (extremely old skool in my case), so that in itself can never be an excuse not to switch to more current offerings.

    Indeed I have at least 8 generations of CDJs and mixers in my basement before I sold all that crap.
    Same with turntables, I have a single Technics left for memory sake and sold all the rest for a hefty price I might add hehe Convert pdf to powerpoint mac free download.

Rekordbox DJ transformed Pioneer DJ’s Rekordbox preparation software into a fully featured DJ performance app that includes add-ons for video, DVS and even lighting. HID mode is also available, allowing you to connect a club standard CDJ/DJM set-up to your laptop, essentially turning it into a controller. After connecting the CDJs to your computer via HID, the laptop can then be set aside because almost everything you need to control Rekordbox DJ will be on the hardware in front of you.

How To Set-up HID

Rekordbox DJ uses the same steps to step up to HID mode as the other major DVS software such as Serato DJ Pro and Traktor Pro 3:

Cdj 1000 Mk3

  1. Start your digital DJing software
  2. Connect a USB cable from each CDJ to your computer (USB hub may be needed)
  3. Hit “Link” on the CDJ
  4. Rotate encoder until you are asked to link to computer
  5. Press encoder to enter HID mode
  6. Select which deck you would like to control
  7. Repeat process for other CDJs / decks

Finally…

HID has always been the bridge between DJing with computer software and feeling like you are playing without a computer at all. HID mode with Rekordbox DJ can be the path from entry level controller to big room club, especially for DJs who are looking to make the jump to a club standard set-up.

Do you spin with HID mode when using CDJs or other media players? Or do you prefer to use controllers instead? Let us know your thoughts below.
