All user reviews for the Pioneer CDJ-900

* For how long have you been using it?
For almost one month

* What thing do you like most/least about it?
+: Reading and USB external HDD, finishing usually very serious, very responsive buttons (that I changed my aging axis 9) the smart loops and the big screen tilted slightly or very comfortable recording and cues loops.
-: No hot cue, I miss it, slow to play some songs and pricing ...

* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I tried numark axis 4 and 9, Cortex HDC 3000, stanton C304, Denon DNS 1000 ...

* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Well I think it's very expensive even if ultimately you end up with a product of very good quality. I think this price is missing at least one or two hot cues ...

* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
With a budget so identical, with a higher budget, I rush on CDJ 2000 Pioneer convinced me

- I use them for 2 weeks.

- What I love most: the management of the USB that I find great! Nickel and it works immediately. the disc or the key is tested or not, and it works very well.
The fonctino slip is enormous ... the possibilities are increased tenfold, and when you know its title, it becomes super interesting to tickle a little runway.
Otherwise the self loops walk really well too. Quantize function is simply bluffing .... ok now everyone will make a perfect loop but it is true that this is a great help ... good requires that the file is parsed by Rekordbox on the other hand.
Otherwise the screen visibility is sufficient I think. It takes a lot of CDJ1000: beaches pitch, the ability to change the point of entry and exit loop, but also a wave display small enough to see the look of the piece.

Otherwise what I like least: The speed of the turntable with cd ... is the horror ... Much on this one Pioneer has put the package on the USB which is a wonderful success ... cons from the cd has changed or not but I know it is very long .... when changing track, you must wait at least 5 seconds before the PEC and is available in full veeeeeery long mix. (For cons with USB is super fast, or not analyzed)
I played on cdj2000 but I can not remember what was their speed in cd ... I think that is longer than the CDJ1000 but should be confirmed.

- I tried quite a few models so: denon dns-1000, dns3500 Pioneer CDJ800, CDJ1000, CDJ400, cdj200, cdj2000

- The value for money is certainly a little expensive but I find it quite ... because for me the 900 is placed above the 1000. Many will say otherwise but certainly when you see the quality of management usb ... it's really hard. And as stated above, the 900 takes a lot of options in the 1000 (800MK2 things that did not) so for me, cdj900 has many more improvements over a CDJ800 mk2, the 2000 n 'has over the 1000 mk3. (I do not know if I'm making myself clear)
To be played on the 2000 and the 900, I think the 2000 is neither more nor less than 1000MK3 with usb (which is huge I remember) and some nice options for ergonomics, for the 900 is a cons mixture and 800MK2 1000MK3 with usb and function which is a novelty underwear. After .. has to see the speed reading cd on the 2000 ... because I do not remember, is currently the only negative point of 900.

- Yes I would do this choice because it is nevertheless a revolutionary platinum. It provides excellent management usb, super fast and everything works nickel. It also allows to control an app but I have not tested it yet and I would use it because if I took it to no longer take the mac.
Otherwise cdj2000 is great too but too expensive for my taste. Maybe I should take it later if the cd is faster but for now the 900 has everything I want (except hot cue ... but after you mix it with or without a question of technique )
Edit: Since the last update, the titles on CD loading is much faster! A true happiness. Well it's a bit slower than a 1000 or 2000, but it's faster than before!

-For how long have you been using it?
1 week

-Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes and at full capacity: Dns 3500 (for 3 years) dns 3700 (5 months) CDJ 1000MK3 (1 month)

"What thing do you like most/least about it?
the opportunity to perfect loop with quantize the system,
the means of the plate and the USB function and noon and the accuracy of the pitch and the reactivity of the jog for those who want a fast tempo and timing are excellent net it ...
Not forgotten that it is possible to update the turntables which is for me ...
I n is any bug for now ...

-What is your opinion about the value for the price?
It must look long term at the beginning I wanted a cdj 850 but after trying (too toy) I stayed on the cdj 900.

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

For how long have you been using it?
5 months

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
cdj 400 / 1200 dns / dns 1000

What thing do you like most/least about it?
then + for:
- The usb! Quick, convenient, reliable and efficient! With the CDJ 2000 is the best usb turntable on the walk in my opinion (eg time to load a full gigabyte key 16 = 2 sec)

- Hot loop!

- Slip mode works very well and helps boost the mix

- All other quality Pioneer: finishing, design, solodité, precision

Least:

- There just to play speed cd which is a little slower than other pioneer this in memory of cash requested by the slip mode. damage.

What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
A platinum expensive but excellent and very practical with its USB mode.
Frankly I think 't buy a second of that j'n'll have the means

I use the 900 since a month after adopting the CDJ-400 for a year.
I am very fun but it became too small.

Initially I wanted a pair of CDJ-850, it seemed perfect for the use I am (home-evenings and djing). But looking closer, I saw that the features of the CDJ-900 were simply sick:

Pro DJ + link: terrible on the 400 I had to put the same content on two memory sticks, the farewells taking heads!
+ Slip mode: a killer, I understand why they did not earlier invneté
+ Hot Loops: loops over incoherent when we mix stuffed!
+ Quality of jog buttons, screen readability, link with rekordbox (drag and drop a title on the plate connected by a single cable network).
+ Ability to control Traktor Native
Cool + design

- For the moment: the waveform display is a bit small, but nothing that is not correctable with new firmware! (+ Other: updates)
Excellent value for money (bought 1600 euros the pair states).
With the experience I would do this choice without any hesitation, it explodes to death with this machine, and basically it's just what makes the difference!
