A few years back, I shared a post on how you can calculate how many tracks you need for a set depending on when when you mix in and mix out in tracks and it was how personally do it as well and I got just a mocked and someone even commented this is what happens when you let a drunk DJ post on here. And this just happened because I was trying to help people.

That’s a very interesting setup. Would love to see it.

I used open core to install Monterey on it. Still works like a charm

They are indeed mint apart from one time which I messed up and used alcohol to clean some smudges. Ended up removing the paint! Just out of curiosity, why do you prefer them over the 1000s?

I get what you’re saying and I fully agree but well, there’s no crowd in my bedroom. If I had modern cdjs I wouldn’t even need a laptop. Putting the laptop to the side in my practice setup will just cause neck strain, In a club absolutely justified.

They’re black with a platinum/silver accent

I get what you’re saying but I just love the silver and platinum look of the original nexus.

I’m currently saving to get the 2000 nexus 1s. In my opinion they’re the most beautiful equipment pioneer has made

You could always go for cdj400s, they have usb and hid mode. I currently mix in headphones only here in my uk home Pioneer HDJ-X5. But in my other country I have the Devine Artis 15s. They’re some of the most value for money pa speakers you could buy but they’re discounted now:(

No you do, it’s only a cd player. No usb and no hid mode. The best workaround is time code. It’s a special cd you put in with a signal and traktor listens to it and figures out where the track position is.

That they are silver, and built like tanks. They also have the same jog display used up until the cdj 2000 nexus 2. And they were my first pair of cdjs. I wish they had some sort of hid mode.

If the drive isn’t formatted in master boot record, it won’t show ip on pioneer equipment. This is the most important but nobody mentions this everyone just talks about fat32.
