All user reviews for the Cortex-pro HDTT-5000

How long have you been using?

3 months

What is so special that you like most and least?

The price is attractive (vs pioneer ..). As an amateur, we tend to think that's enough. Except that this product is a pile of plastic. The software part is very unstable, bugs all the time fields. Part fact, is almost unusable as the "keys" are bad qualities.

Did you try many other models before buying it?

Not

How do you rate the quality / price?

The price seems right for this type of product, but the quality is terrible. It is only plastic! and the software part plant very often.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Lack of upper-middle maybe.

I used it 2 days and I am totally amazed!

Most: management support USB, with ease and even more record is very simple! you connect your hard drive or USB key and you create your data base in one click and all works (yet to be seen over time).

The less the creation of loops! it's not like a cdj ... and hardness of the navigation keys and a can drive for design, they could make the buttons more modern and flexible!

I have several models available but nothing to do (cdj 1000MK3, CDJ 400 and CDJ 800 and Technics turntables sl1200MK5) because I do rentals for private or professional clients and I wonder usb drives because they do not want
lugged their computer.

I do not Croy this product, but there really ... Why not!
Remains over time the reliability and robustness, in addition to this update it then evolving over time in the hope of a major manufacturer?

Value, great price!

This choice is an idea like this one for simplicity and price for an original set, see effective, not lugged computer, cds ...

I recommend you try them and see for yourself, is what best to do is a product of the future!

Hello!

I've been one week and I must dir I'm bluffing.
unbeatable value for money has just under 600 euro the pair nine, I could not hope for more ..
The effects are not bad, a little open-access gallery s'abitue mix but soon the beast.
the tray and scratch function is very good Calita, very close to a cdj ..
perfect loop with the update ..
the only default, the quality of play and cue buttons a little too hard plastic if you see what I'm seeing dir ..
I try déjas CDJ800 and the difference in price there is no photo.
Before I was on vinyl and a pair of MK2 BST Clevinger 200 .. I have been all sold, retaining only the HDTT5000.

I therefore advise atous those who can not afford to buy CDJ.
However I am not sure it will do the trick in a pub, a box or other place where dozens of people so different from some careful not all gambling ..

I mix for 8 years and my opinion remains that of a passioner.pour use at home as I do, it's a top ... see the strength in time ..?

my note is to 9 / 10 in the context that I use ..

Hi all before writing my opinion I would say that these are my first decks and I am a neophyte
How long have you use it?
For a month

- What is so special that you like most and least?
What I like most: The accuracy of pitch, effects, the feel of a jog with scracth made that I find very good, disign, function sample looks pretty but I do also serves ever, I lack practice.

the least: the buttons are a bit loops done wrong, the buttons in relief and a little bigger would desirable,
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes the CDJ 1000MK3 good store but it was just to make me drool nothing seri

- How would you rate the quality / price?
EXCELLENT value for money, nothing to say frankly that the bomb I'm happy

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Its depends on the budget, if I had I would have taken much of the pioneer Sinoma but if you're poor and you want the good stuff go for it!
Many bug was present at the output but I have to buy is new, the update was already done

In short, good and started well for business and very intuitive

I put 8 / 10 for the ergonomic buttons sample / loop.

Cordially

Hello,

I dj occasionally working exclusively with a PC, mouse, and a good old "Hercules DJ Console" mk1 + VDJ Pro and I wanted to reconnect with the pleasure of using food drives, because I found a stash dj Derri re the guts of a computer, is not always!

APRS short with a lengthy hsit PIONEER MEP 7000 and from NUMARK DDS 80 I finally opt for two single drives ... it's recess for the economic aspect and the possibility s offered by bbte I opt for HDTT 5000 ...
I like the least> finish: I prfr an aluminum chassis, but good for the price, ok
> Buttons: missing a bit of flexibility

I like the most> wheel: prcise and without latency, trs hardness close touch vinyl

> Hot cue buttons: flawless precision also

> Search titles: really impeccable, you have the choice of mode file browser or search by genre, artist, title, keywords ... This means of the Fast Fashion to a database and ... the ball is short

> The possibility to play on the same support with both drives connected to M / S

> The software is very well done with a range of possible rglages the door for all, navigating the menus with the scroll wheel or the Arrows

In short, nothing more than the other view, I know ... but I'm discovering all of hte other features offered
In any case, I am sr once acquired all the automation of these drives, they become a formidable weapon!
=======
EDIT:
=======

Voil recently, I'm hand with these drives and I add little things .... qq

1) I had to open one of my readers, because the blue LED dcorative in the bottom of the wheel n'clairait more! a little bit of soldering iron arsolu the problem either, but it rlant when I think it's the new stuff! j'espre it is an exceptional case!

2) The buttons are really too hard! hard rubber keys and a better suspension shook welcome

3) the wheel in "pitch" is too sensitive I got, it must be dosed sparingly otherwise the Draillant ensured it would be good programmers cortex prvoient the possibility of parameter TRERE the sensitivity of the jog in a day next time

Voil if not a hand, they nevertheless that they are good readers and that j'spre cortex guys reading this ....

How long have you use it?
5 months + -

What is the particular feature you like the least?
cue / play: for me are not sufficiently flexible and open mix cdj sometimes take a half twice. (in night not cool). effects: bcp bcp too long and too boring to make soiremme at home (prvoir external effector) the quality of its effects has refaire.pitch bend: too sensible.le scratch mode (yes but no more). and the big black dot, that c the cortex is sensitive enough because sometimes your sional in his gesture was more abrupt than the house and I had to change a force cortex because the motherboard had u of problem (blockage or cutoff) of the shock (hands) such as cue and play.

the most?
hot cue (4) loops (4) the sample (4) It also explains below (step) you need to do to annulsupprim or cre, loops, sample, hot cue.la search Moreau are easy rapide.l display (LCD) with the curves of the pieces he yammer an Arrows to show you or you in your reading (rather need pc for beginners) it also tells you if the loops, samples etc. .. are activated with the buttons (on allumplus cran.la possibility to choose to see the cost or time remaining.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Pioneer CDJ 100 S / Vestax CDR 07/Pioneer 200/Denon DJ CDJ DN S 3700 (excellent platinum).

How do you report qualitprix?
just what the HDTT-5000 offer. (399 euros pice)

Exprience with, you will do again this choice?
yes (for me) no (for evening and club) I RSID in a disco bar.
Finally, the last word I would say that the cortex is a good brand but not yet ready-for evening

How long have you use it? A little over a year ...

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No.

What is so special that you like most and least?

The +:
- Ability to mix with his USB stick
- The size gives the impression of mixing on turntables Pro
- Large platform to wedge his music in the mix.
- Fairly simple menu

the -:
- The plastic case is very gadget
- Fragility of the motherboard of the device: In less than six months, a problem at startup (
- Jog and Pitch highly sensitive
- BPM Counter not reliable at all
- Box effect interesting, but difficult to use

How would you rate the quality / price?
I have mixed feelings ... I would say for the price, mix it with USB, it's an advantage ... After level hardware reliability is highly questionable!

With experience, you do again this choice?
Not at all. In fact, one and a half later, I opted for the purchase of two Pioneer CDJ850 (level reliability, robustness, precision ... there is no picture in comparison with Cortex)

In summary: I am very disappointed with the reliability and durability of the material ...

For how long have you been using it?

- About 1 year

The pros:

- Precision Pitch
- Accuracy Jog
- Playback of external storage (USB Hard Drive FAT32, Smartphones, iPod)
- Turntables connectable via USB (1 HDD for 2 decks)

The -:

- Could not read Disks / Keys NTSC
- Management of Cusa
- Effects Management
- Management of database

Value for money:

- Unbeatable

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?

- Without hesitation!

Comments:

After the first ignition means one of two plates showed a stroke pitch fader halved (while moving the fader from 0 to minus infinity does not work). After 6 months, the pitch did not work altogether more (overnight). Fortunately, the VAS was effective, I could get a brand new platinum within 2 weeks.

How long have you been using it?

Three days

- Which feature do you like best?

Master/slave mode, a single USB stick (an 8GB model for example) is enough to feed both desks), no need for a CD. It seems easy to use, but watch out when you remove the USB stick and do it properly otherwise you'll have problems!!!

- Which feature do you like least?

It takes too long to load files. When the same track is played on both desks I've noticed that that the BPM of the slave is higher than the master (although but I'm not really sure).

- Did you try any other models before buying it?

A BST 450 (with unreliable BPM counter), Allen & Health XONE 4D (too complex for me), CDJ MK3 (too expensive).

- Did you try any other models before buying it?

No because good quality gear is much too expensive.

- Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?

Very good desks but I haven't used them enough to write a more detailed review. Very good value for money.

I will update this review after spending more time with them...

Mark: 7/10.
