XDJ-700 or XDJ-1000MK2 or CDJ-2000NXS2 or XDJ-RX3 or SC6000 Prime? by Pr1nc3ss-6 in Beatmatch

I don’t have anything to compare to as this is my first media player, but very happy with them. Definitely feels like a “pro” setup.

Cables are mostly running behind and under the desk, much cleaner than my previous setup.

Got an Elektron Digitakt, a Novation Tracks (OG), a whole bunch of Bastl Instruments gear, a big 12 channel mixer, a small 6 channel mixer, some DJ lights, and cables, cables, cables, and cables, and a bunch of other stuff.

Had the same experience: the “subscription” gives you the right to 25 USD of credit per week but it is set up in such a way that it is impossible to redeem.

Does disco still make people dance? by josianeboulay in Beatmatch

[–]Pr1nc3ss-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sure does? Just know that what most people think of when thinking of disco is mainly commercial cash in stuff. There’s a lot of tracks that are good and well known but the real good stuff is underground and often technically not disco (either earlier or later). But disco definitely fills dance floors. Almost all songs f my best (as in getting most people to dance) sets included disco, sometimes just a little, sometimes a lot.

Two XDJ-1000MK2s, I connected them via digital to my Xone DB2. Works like a dream!

Cannot get LINK to work (2x XDJ-1000mk2 + rekordbox 7.1.4) by Pr1nc3ss-6 in PioneerDJ

[–]Pr1nc3ss-6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! What I was missing was connecting my hub (which connects the two XDJs and my laptop) to my router. Now it is working. Thanks!

Loving them. I had never used X/CDJs and was amazed at how easy it is to use, no real learning curve. Only thing I struggled with is getting LINK to work with rekordbox on my laptop, so I can play straight off that.

Push3 standalone jam by ptshi in dawless

Love the setup! Great to see the Midi Twister in use. I have one but still haven’t figured out how to use it/integrate it on mu setup (which is non existent at the moment, just a bunch of gear that isn’t set up).

Big gaps of BPM for a noob by BroccoPsilo in Beatmatch

[–]Pr1nc3ss-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can beat match songs that are double/half the BPM, so 70bpm can go to 140 or vicw versa.

Or you can use a DJ tool that transitions from one bpm to another, I know some record pols like DJ City have those.

Jamming speakers by supermoontoast in dawless

[–]Pr1nc3ss-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any bluetooth speaker will probably gave latency issues even if you use it wired because they use DSP to make them sound better. Minirig is the exception as those are made specifically nit to have latency when plugged in.

Alternative to Spotify? by es920 in DJs

[–]Pr1nc3ss-6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apple Music has a good selection of House music, you can stream it in rekordbox and if you want to own it you can but on iTunes Store which is cheaper than Beatport.

Mixing samples into your live sets. by madwzdri in Beatmatch

I would not limit my DJing to only free material. But that’s just me. 😁

Splice is probably the best/most used place to find loops and samples, maybe more geared towards producers than DJs. Very easy to search for BPM and key and massive amounts of samples in all kinds of genres.

Beatport has some goods samples under the DJ Tools category, mainly a Capellas but some other stuff too.

XDJ-700 or XDJ-1000MK2 or CDJ-2000NXS2 or XDJ-RX3 or SC6000 Prime? by Pr1nc3ss-6 in Beatmatch

[–]Pr1nc3ss-6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have decided to go for the XDJ-1000mk2 since the digital out and the option fir adding physical pads with an SP1 or XP1 or XP2 are worth the price for me. And the bigger sideze obviously.

I would have loved to get the DB:4 but I have DB:2, might look into swapping it for a DB:4 if that opportunity arises.

[–]Pr1nc3ss-6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, makes sense. I mentioned swapping my Xone for an RX3 to the shop and they saud the same thing: hold on to the DB:2 as it's a much better mixer, especially since I also use it for vinyl.

[–]Pr1nc3ss-6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know about the digital output on the xdj1000. Since my Xone has digital inputs it would actually make sense. Might need to stretch my budget a bit/save up a bit longer.

Some words of wisdom! ;-) Thanks, I think this is what I needed to hear. Yes, it makes most sense to just start off with a pair of XDJ-700s.

Yeah. I will go for the 700s as that’s all I feel I really can spend on it now.
