«  AN UPDATE! »

- For how long have you been using it?
4 months
-Did you try many other models before getting this one?
CDJ 200, CDJ 400 6 months CDJ 800 MK1 and MK2 club CDJ 1000MK3 1 year, CDJ 900 in the club, a club CDJ 2000

- What is so special that you like best?
USB (management incomparable with CDJ 400: 1000 Faith better), precision (not seen any difference with the 1000), waveform (as well as the 1000 mk3) rekordbox (really huge classed as music on the PC), fast (better than 1000MK3), playlist management live

- What is so special that you like least?
No waveform on the cd not scanned (such as 1000 and burning MP3), no hotloop (even a little would've been cool if the one received on a loop you lose)
gray! BPM without the decimal point (we will not make me believe that it is complicated to do!), no digital output

- Bullet points!
Automatic loop section is really sucks! even with my feet I'm better. When the music is very rhythmic is correct (and again) but when the music would do what a melody, it's great no matter what! How much is the same as its loop on 1000MK3.
The HID (MIDI) UNUSABLE! Traktor does not recognize them! serato either. VDJ soles of one switch with USB or CD (although personally I would use if the booster shot but it's complicated). Thus totally useless! We'll have to wake up at Pioneer and we lay the drivers that go to the output of platinum to a faith! it starts to become a habit!

"My advice:
Better than the 800, 400 without problem. Same quality workmanship that 1000MK3 but not the same niche (if you're only CD, stick with 1000, otherwise it's an evolution really !!!). Finally and in conclusion: not to buy to mix with a soft but very very good to mix mp3 (rekordbox is truly monstrous!) = Awaiting Update from Pioneer
-What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
To correct for an authentic pioneer. Some default, but really close to their upscale. I would do this biensur choice but I will still get me a pair of CDJ 2000 when I had enough!
