Do CDJ 2000's mark the end of an era?

Luke Giannoukas - Thursday, November 26, 2009

Hello blog readers, it has been a couple of weeks since my last blog.

As we all know the new Pioneer CDJ2000's have hit Australia and the world with some great new features, which makes djing and carrying music around a whole lot easier, but does it mark the end of an era?

I'm doubt many Dj's enjoy burning CD's, printing track list's and so on. Although would it seem weird if you see a DJ walk into a club and just use a USB? I understand we've gone from vinyl's to CD's and now its time for USB's which are compatible with the new 2000's but do we need it? and should we change?

I'm sure many Dj's actually take pride in track listing and so on, so what do you think? Should clubs change from there 1000's to the new 2000's obviously there's no rush and I understand that these new pieces of technology do make djing a lot easier and even more efficient.

One thing is for sure though Pioneer are always finding ways to change the growing industry and leading the way while doing it.

The CDJ1000 MK3's have had MP3 CD capability for years now (which is good and bad). The CDJ400 have had USB since their release in 2007. Most clubs and DJ's on the forefront of technology are already using Laptops sporting software such as Traktor or Serato. The CDJ2000's are just another slow step in that direction. In reality they're not worth the money. In fact while we're going that way, the same could be said about the CDJ1000's since few if any DJ's on the main Melbourne circuit even use the loop or hot cue features live.

Yeh mate I agree, I don't see many DJ's who actually use mp3 CD's and I feel the CDJ1000's are great and will stay in the scene for at least another 1-2 years
