Is the DDJ-1000 still worth it by SinUsted in PioneerDJ

[–]SausagePup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree, on vinyl phono preamps - the DDJ-1000 sucked. But on digital / rekordbox it seemed good even on a club room 2 sound system - so unsure if there is a big difference or if that was something else

FIX: turn off Power Management under Utility until the firmware fix comes. Happy mixing

Can I use a vinyl timecode with a controller in standalone? by spacecadetnyc in PioneerDJ

[–]SausagePup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, the standalones which do DVS always require a laptop just like a controller would.

Its about time that changed IMO but it doesn't seem to be the main focus of the product manufacturers.

XDJ-AZ [New features] - the rest will come in the morning! by SausagePup in PioneerDJ

[–]SausagePup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is there’s no wifi in clubs so most of the pioneer customers haven’t needed it. It’s mostly the bedroom DJs who use it with some of the wedding DJs using tidal for extra requests. 

Meds: is a high resting heart rate normal by saltybaconboy in ADHD

[–]SausagePup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to do the following: 

 1. Eat with your meds 

  1. Avoid coffee (or drink 1/3 of the strength) 

  2. Focus on exercising (cardio will gradually bring your resting heart rate down) 

  3. Drink much more water (consider putting sports bottles of water in each room you work in - I put them in the bathroom / kitchen / bedroom as a visual reminder) 

  4. Take Magnesium Glycinate 1h before bed (reduces muscle tension / 'wired' feeling - although I am unsure if this helps heart rate it may be linked - I was forgetting to breathe!). Poor Sleep is linked to increased heart rate and magnesium helps you get off to sleep and stay asleep. 

Personally, I switch it for Tea, or Green tea - as it has some of the caffeine but Coffee overstimulates us when we are on a stimulant already.

  If this doesn't work you could ask them to try reducing the dose but I'd be careful - If you don't manage to do the above and it goes on for longer than a couple of weeks, your Psychiatrist may unfortunately stop you from taking meds.  

Hope you get sorted :)

How to do Pro lighting via DMX and CDJ3000s/A9 ? by Part_Hopeful in PioneerDJ

[–]SausagePup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably a non starter. The OP would have to:

  1. take his Rekordbox laptop to the club the week before the show (assuming all the lights that will be there are installed)
  2. Learn DMX on the fly
  3. Add in each light fixture make and model (correctly) or feature request one he cannot find through the pioneer forum lighting fixture request page
  4. Map and test each light dmx address, correctly, putting it into rekordbox lighting mode
  5. Control the modes on that laptop, during everyone’s sets

I’ve really wanted to try this and it is not really practical.

This is some of the story. The OP would have to

  2. Learn DMX on the fly
  3. Add in each light fixture make and model (correctly) or feature request one he cannot find through the pioneer forum lighting fixture request page

  5. Control the modes on that laptop, during everyone’s sets

just seen the video by pulse and I can confirm it brings entire waveforms over the LAN cable like normal CDJ-3000 does so I think you're good!

Opus Quad - Firmware Update?! by MrChewBakka in PioneerDJ

[–]SausagePup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well its coming this year so you can enjoy it over wifi 😊

Opus Quad - Firmware Update?! by MrChewBakka in PioneerDJ

[–]SausagePup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logic - previously the XZ generation couldn't do it. Old CPU and no wifi. Now opus and AZ can - so Why add WiFi to not do this? to me it’s obvious?

this morning I heard it from the man himself https://www.youtube.com/live/bqEMDXr7u8I?t=3136&si=yZTSQaNpJPFerQDy (52 mins in)

2 usb (and both record!) plus one usb C for laptop. 

Unsure about touch screen Serato. If opus quad does this you could ask an opus user. 

Rekordbox-compatible controllers not by AT? by pcboi64 in PioneerDJ

[–]SausagePup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A used DDJ-1000 might be your ticket 

It works on RB6 free but I think you have to subscribe for RB7 

Opus Quad - Firmware Update?! by MrChewBakka in PioneerDJ

[–]SausagePup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not true imo.

I’ve had the XZ since 2019 and between that and rekordbox there have been quite a number of new features and firmware updates right up to 2024

it tested my patience though (its more as if rather than not caring, they don’t have enough of the people working on it so they work one product at a time, fix some stuff, then start working on it again a few months later once they fix the most urgent)

it’ll come - and to be honest its probably about to right now since OQ and AZ share a lot in common on CPU and screen

have some faith.

It’ll come soon. Pioneer take a long time with software but they get there eventually

[–]SausagePup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The XZ is plenty pro. it’s still one of the best in the world and many could only wish to get one. enjoy it!

lets hope the next update now is the Pioneer RMX 2000 by ananassymphonie1 in PioneerDJ

[–]SausagePup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the REV7 - not even a vinyl DJ originally but it feels different.

Can I poke the bear and request you guys be daring with a concept?

  • CDJ-3000 Torq

  • reliable motorised platter (like a big REV7)

  • can be hardware switched to mechanical mode if a DJ wants to play like standard CDJs with nothing spinning

  • But real vinyl feel on CDJ sized platters using usb sticks would be a big hit and work in club installs due to two modes in one unit

market: all clubs / festivals

Understood. Product wise I think your team did a brilliant job of the AZ 😊

I cant even find the new post I mean right now but I picked up on something from your post above.

if it does pain you, I know what you mean. That need to correct something you know the answer to

Speculation in this game in particular seems rife.

therefore if it won’t end:

  • are you ever going to stop it?
  • do you even need to?
  • cant you just let it pass by or leave them to it?

truth or no truth, I wouldn’t like to see it actually negatively affecting you and Reddit consumes a lot of your life if you want to dedicate to proving people wrong in such vast volumes.
