Reply to Anyone tried the Pioneer XDJ Aero?
Anyone tried the Pioneer XDJ Aero? Anyone out there have or used the Pioneer XDJ Aero? I got intrigued by it as it integrates with Rekordbox and can play tracks right off a USB...has built in mixer AND can be a MIDI controller for Traktor. That sounds like a good set of features to me...seemingly lots of bang for the buck. I should say that I have several different sit-ups for DJing...I like to be versatile and I like to be comfortable playing on a variety of gear. Currently, I have a Denon MC3000 and a NI Kontrol F1 as my "minimal" setup. I also have a Denon DN-X1700, NI Kontrol X1, and a pair of turntables with time code vinyl as my DVS setup. I wanted to add a pair of CDJs for practice at home, but really don't want to pay $800-$1500 per deck for Pioneer CDJs. I was considering the Gemini CDJ700 as they got some good reviews, can act as MIDI controllers and can be had for like $370 per deck...but no Rekordbox integration makes me hesitate a bit...the price is very good on those though...then I started believeing outside the box and thought what about the XDJ Aero? It seems to do everything I want: play USB media, RekorBox support, MIDI controller...I can prep my tracks, load them onto USB stick and/or iPhone, practice at home on the Aero as it is similar setup too club CDJs, and then take the USB and be able to play on "big boy" CDJs in the club... So, is this a perfect solution for me? Or is it just wishful believeing? Anyone have any experience on one of these and care to comment? | |
