Very happy with my CDJ-400K (With DJM-400K) for almost a year.

+ A flawless CD playback, good management of mp3 files. I still fumble with the different keys, I opted for 2 small 4GB HP. In my opinion it should not exceed 4GB in otherwise it will just start and it is better to have a little device does not hang in the open set. For a manual listing up to 10000 files run on the same medium, it's still very theoretical)

+ Navigation is simple but the display ...
- Hard drive in 2010 a screen that displays only 10 characters for file names. Personally I took a lot of time to store said key (now I really enjoy the mp3)

+ The pitch is very accurate (* The visual tool is really a time saver. This does not prevent me to sort everything out by ear so I do not understand some reactions)

+ The jogs are reliable, what surprised me the test. I had a fear of side "plastic" for a little sister Pioneer.
- The 3 small effects are nice without being exceptional. A little gadget that's true. We can not exclude that it can enrich your set if used sparingly.

+ Loops, precise with auto / divide nice ...
- Frankly, my problem is that it runs only 4 times! I regret that there have not hot cues ... So I am a mixed opinion on this function. It's good, but it works ...

Aesthetics +, I confess to having succumbed to the Blue edition package foo. I find it really fucking well. Now it is true that there is a small side "tuning" which is more noticeable on the base edition. My faith is a matter of taste ...

To summarize, the CDJ 400 are versatile, with a precision and quality worthy of a response. In my opinion, "amateur" is a total foot to use.

* To solve the small problems I had, I recently spent in MIDI setup with Traktor Scratch Pro, and there is just enormous. But in my opinion comparable to use by "hardware"

I advise (well. .. The 350 now that I briefly tried best jog, use the famous rekordbox ... barf) for beginners who have the means to afford them. It is true that Pioneer a fairly aggressive policy of selling ... But I think they can afford. With my limited budget but still result in Pioneer. I would do that choice (even if the USB controllers are attractive Ascending)
