Total waste of money - Pioneer missed the whole point. DJing today is not about A->B mixing. The future of DJing is Abelton, and those who dont think so are fooling themselves.

This is nothing different than the Numark HDX was 4 years ago. Please?! scrolling through a music library on a tiny screen vs a qwerty keyboard search in serato?

Pioneer should have worked out a way to integrate the CDJs with both Abelton & serato, to make "computer DJing" more engaging and fun; nothing is more boring to watch at a club than a DJ staring at his computer screen all night.

I can't understand how they could have been so far off the mark. I will not be trading in my 1000 mk3s and serato, and will continue to use abelton.

Well in my opinion, from what ive seen; It is worth every pretty penny.
I also think luke made the right choice in actually showing us something inovative, what will make people want to buy the product.

I also may have any idea why he named himself 'laidback' luke. He seemed pretty laid back doin what he was doing.. if you get what i mean....

i was raised on hot cues from my first turntables (stanton c314) and i dont like how theres only 3 hot cues on these cdj's, unless im missing something here. 4 would make more sense to me though. but so far there hasnt been one thing mentioned that traktor can't already do. the major plus for this news is just that its more convenient between sets of multiple dj's.

thx for the track =D

Track name is Venganza (Felix Cartel Mix) by Lazaro Cassanova

p.s. track title is on the screen when he's making the loops earlier on in the vid :)

Looks great. Does the software comes along with the CDJs? Any clue about the price? :)
