u work for pioneer or somethng scifi.

i agree with jenks....a bit late to the game on this one...yeah they will probably sell alot to clubs but that is about it...not sure if there are enough clubs in the world to end up making a decent profit especially with the money it cost in r&d engineering and production.

if u going to go digital....i would jsut buy a mac, it way cheaper and u can do a hellova lot more than just dj with it.

Yeah, what a machine

http://gizmodo.com/5361368/pioneer-cdj+2000-lets-you-mix-with-the-help-of-a-big-beautiful-lcd-screen

prices:
cdj 900 1250,- euro
cdj 2000 1650,- euro
It's expensive, but I expected more I have to say when I looked to the old mk3 prices.

no different from using serato or traktor, the only benefit i would see is that if youre a dj whos constantly touring in big clubs, you could just be carrying an external hard drive and that would be it, but thats still kind of far fetched, when you still have clubs that dont have a proper set of cdj's, shit how many times has anyone played at a club and they still have Denon decks, or the pioneer 200's or 400's.

and on the money side of things, lets say these go down to something like $1800, you would still need to buy 2, so that makes it $3600, when you can get serato or traktor for something like $600.

No, I don't work for Pioneer but my cousin does. Just a AVL technology junkie and sometimes consultant to local venues for DJ event set-up, installs, and upgrades. Spent 20+ years in the club/entertainment industry and watched everything change multiple times. As far as Pioneer, being late on the software thing - I agree wholeheartedly but at the same time, they are a hardware company first, not or ever known for software. I just think this opens up more options for everyone on both sides - the clubs and the DJs, famous touring or not. The more options available to the DJ/artist the better IMHO.

also, just like in the turntables days - say late 80's early 90's when the techno rave thing was getting started - 1200's weren't so affordable either.

Re: Its OFFICIAL: New CDJ-2000 & CDJ-800

Nice, BUT!!!!! a bit too late in the game and WAY EXPENSIVE!!!!! That's why I never bought a pair of CDJ 1000s. Always wanted them tough...

Re: Its OFFICIAL: New CDJ-2000 & CDJ-800

Its a joke honestly that one player should cost more than a high end lap top!!!

totally agree.

But you can't get into Serato if you do not have a set of turntables. And since turntables are going away more and more...at least there is an even lower price option to go with the 900.
