I'm hoping for better screens and scrolling waveforms. What else could they add? http://excessiverecordsdjshop.blogspot.com/

| Elliot Dunphy 11.06.2012 | I guess the new CDJ "Nexus" doesn't exist then? |
| Basil Forshee 30.05.2012 | Hahahaha everybody is just TOO excited in my opinion. The 'hype' will go away and then all of a sudden, BOOM a new product range is born. But I thought you were serious too, hehe. If only NI integrated advanced HID support for the CDJ's. I just love the way Serato did this with CDJ's. Timecode is a no go, it's like building a cheap ass sound system into a Ferrari. |

| Shantae Faile 29.05.2012 | well ima put all this speculation to an end... Pioneer has both a new CDJ and a new DJM... Get ready for this one: http://pioneerdj.com/english/pressre...p?ent=20120426 |
| Zonia Provens 29.05.2012 | Still lots of speculations but have not seen any diffinitve information. Firmware update for the 2000s was back in Janurary, all other Nexus items were realeased in April. Ill go with best case scenario to the hit the shelves (if they even do make a new version) is December.... The speculation is killing me, I want to buy CDJs but I want to see what comes out so either A) the price of current 2000s drop a little or the new version is that much better its worth the high price tag |
| Alla Bluemke 28.05.2012 | I'm waiting for them intently as my friend already said he would buy mine from me to fund my new one |

| Alfredo Tooher 18.05.2012 | no problem man, I never take these things personal, If we all worked the same way, the industry would be very boring from guy to guy, lol the only issue I have with them is the slow search on usb drive but like I said, I just dont use it
How do you handle situations like failing HD's or laptops on gigs like that ?
I can switch to vinyl or cd in a heartbeat and always bring a backup LT's with a synced library. |

I'm not the kind of guy that programs his set, I do bring a few 1000 tracks (one crate of vinyl, a box dvd's & laptop). But sorting out music before a gig is have my fun... I understand now that is just MY way of working, not THE way of working...and it appears that carying a collection of that magnitude is business as usual for the mobile dj's. Sorry to hear you have so much trouble with the cdj2000's, I was never aware of this problem and never faced it myself. How do you handle situations like failing HD's or laptops on gigs like that ?

| Wei Lebeaux 18.05.2012 | @Brichi: I find your logic only works with other mobile DJs, such as myself. If you started out because you saw one of Ean's videos and learned everything on the web, then you can't possibly fathom why you'd need more than say, 2,000 songs. When you start DJing for others, as opposed to playing whatever you'd like to play for yourself, you'll find it necessary that your library grows exponentially |
| Alfredo Tooher 18.05.2012 | nofi either, but its not called being a jukebox, its called being a collector of all genres of music from all years dating back to big band from when I was 10 years old till now wchich is 27 years, if you were a mobile guy for that long, did the type of events we do and worked for one of the biggest entertainment companies in NY,CT and NJ area, then you would understand why I never delete music nor feel the need to, it's simply to have it on call if a large client paying $100,000 for a party wants to request a weird song, feels good knowing I would have it on hand and makes the company look better in the big picture instead of hearing "oh i cant believe you dont have that"... why delete tracks when i have plenty of HD space and the music is tightly organized? Many mobile dj's have large libraries, I know the top guys on Long Island and they have similar libraries, Go tell them they are jukeboxes too, lol.... mobile jocks keep everything on them because you need to jump between different genres all the time and club dj's have large libraries but keep minimal music on them at the club because for the most part, you play 1 type of music the whole evening I really dont understand why you guys care if I had 1000 tracks or 100,000 tracks, the point was the CDJ's, lets get back on topic. |
| Dannielle Dingey 18.05.2012 | NOFI, but I don' call that dj-ing....you are a substitute for a jukebox. (+ 24.000 tracks). |
| Alfredo Tooher 18.05.2012 | yeah, for now I just LINK my laptop to RB on my laptop and dj like that, works great, when I need to do video mixing I turn on serato and VJ the whole party, Just would be nice to leave the laptop in the bag or at home and feel comfortable using an external drive, either way its not a big deal, I love the decks either way, just looking for new toys like we all are |
| Romelia Stankard 19.05.2012 | Well i really don't believe CDJ-2000s are aimed at the mobile DJ crowd. I would just be using traktor or something with better library management in that situation. |
| Alfredo Tooher 18.05.2012 | hahahahahaaaa, I guess you dont do all mobile dj'ing, I have been builing a library for the last 25 years, from tapes, to vinyl to cd and so on, I keep all of my files very organized on my external drives and on my Macbook, being hard drive space is so cheap there is no need to delete any tracks because i like to have every song on me if possible so when the weird request comes up from a client, I have it and didnt delete it because of deck issues. other decks that have this feature without naming names can search just fine with mine and some friends libraries consisting of 24,000+ tracks. I would rather my client be happy that I have an odd ball request and carry ALL this music with then having to cut 10,000 tracks out of my library to make a deck search faster. If I was all club dj'ing, yeah, I would carry what I need for that evening because for the most part you play YOUR set you know a head of time and take minimum requests, but doing 4 mobile jobs a weekend, my sets vary all over the place based on type of party, age at party etc.... its not like it was years ago where we cleaned up our library becasue the vinyl cases were getting too heavy, adding another 1000 tracks 1 month doesnt make my laptop any heavier, just make my library more full of music I may one day need. i download 70-80 tracks a week from a promo only service, I may need 2-3 of the tracks but why not grab all 80 "just in case" |

| Alfredo Tooher 18.05.2012 | LOL, I have been on the cdj's and rekordbox for over 2.5 years and know the software and hardware in and out. If you load about 20,000+ on a usb external drive from RB and then try the search feature it is slow as crap and then once it does find the track it is again slow as crap trying to load it, the whole search feature as a whole is crap with large libraries on the decks especially if you load a track and want to go to a different version, the whole window is locked so you have to press back then search again and start all over, it's loads of fun!!! |

| Alfredo Tooher 18.05.2012 | I learned about all the options, they are not built right now for mobile dj's with large libraries I bought the 2000's to "leave the laptop at home" which I cannot do right now, so i am hoping the new ones are faster decks in 2 main areas, loading hot starts and searching for tracks |
| Dannielle Dingey 18.05.2012 | I'm probably the only one NOT amped about the new cdj2000. I own a pair of the 'old' ones and not one thing bothers me about them. I have an Ipad but not looking to integrate it in my set-up, X1 & MBP is all I need. Have no problem with a portable HD, just analyse it in RB and searching will go smooth (use the ribbon for fast searching). These are complex decks if you want to use 100% of their possibilities, try to learn about all the options they offer and you will not be disapointed. |
| Rochel Gleese 18.05.2012 | http://www.native-instruments.com/fo...ad.php?t=72703 THIRD PARTY CONTROLLERS: Stage one CDJ integration: Improved Jogweel and Joglight integration for Pioneer CDJ-2000, CDJ-900 and CDJ-400 Just shows that NI are trying to show that they are taking the CDJ seriously, I'm guessing the new CDJs will be the first controllers of their kind to be Traktor certified. Unless there been another CD deck or Midi platter controller only (not hybrid mixer) that's been certified |
| Alfredo Tooher 17.05.2012 | need....new....toys!!! come on pio, give me some new cdj's!! |
| Tova Duignan 17.05.2012 | getting the hype machine going? |

Should a thread be created about it ? EDIT 2 : Just found out the DJM 1000 already existed o/ What is he talking about then ? |
| Dorie Scelzo 17.05.2012 | You know…I'm beginning to believe it's possible they just discontinued it. Was the 900 selling that much better? |
| Ruthanne Heiman 17.05.2012 | this is getting annoying! i want some pioneer prawn!!! |
| Lacey Volkert 06.05.2012 | any new on this? |
