I would mention to them that you don’t necessarily need to re-wire the whole DJ booth as most Pioneer mixers have a spare channel you can plug into, even if all four channels are being used, you can still plug in to one of the four channels and flick the switch from CD/line to phono…

If they are still sticking to there guns, just organize you’re playlist in rekordbox and export to USB and you’re good to go.

Having used CDJ’s in the past the learning curve is about the same as controllers, you’ll be just fine on them.

When i upgraded from my old non rekordbox CDJ’s the 800MK2’s. to the 850’s, i had no problem getting the hang of them and rekordbox.

I currently own the XDJ-RX and i have to say you won’t be disapointed, the qwerty keyboard would of been nice, but having one isn’t going to hamper you.

Both the CDJ 2000 and CDJ 900 NXS didn’t have it and it was only introduced when they brought out the NX2 range. From a feature point and value for money, you’d be on to a winner with the XDJ RX as you get quantized effects from the built in mixer, and all the looping and hotcues are done by using hardware buttons.

To get the same feature set, you’re looking at getting a pair of either XDJ 700’s or 1000’s along with the DJM 900 which will cost you around double or even triple the cost of the RX…

The best thing to do is be polite, most of the time the people who come up to the DJ booth that come across as being annoying have maybe had too much alcohol on the night so are not as aware of their surroundings or actions.

I’m actually in the process of putting together a new smaller mobile set up and have looked at the ADJ stinger before…

I’ve currently got the ADJ inno pocket spots, and I’m wondering if i could get away just for now with 2 inno pocket spots and two ADJ Revo 3’s.

Reason I’m asking is the booth I’m going for a micro booth that fits controllers the size of the DDJ SB2..

This set up I’m looking to do parties of up to round 100 to 120 people…

This is the booth here.

It’s the Equinox Micron…

Totally agree with DJ vintage on this one, all you gain by going to the XDJ 1000’s is the querty keyboard which is handy, but you lose the loop and hot cue hardware buttons as both are on the touchscreen which was a big no no for me…

You also miss out on having you’re DJ effects quantized unless you fork out like 2200 Euro for a DJM 900 which would be absolute madness.

Even the flagship CDJ 2000’s along with the DJM 900 still fall short of a controller set up when used as standalone…

In all honesty i think you’re wasting you’re money on the XDJ 1000’s, it was a no brainer for me which set up i wanted to go to when i decided my old CDJ 850’s were stuck in the dark ages…

You can also use the RX with Rekcordbox DJ as well so you can have the best of both worlds…
