Nice to see that Denon DJ and inmusic really has made an impact on the evolution of dj-gear.
Well put🤗🎶🇧🇻
Yea buddy, those product managers there must have a workshop full of prototypes and demo videos of how they came up with all their cool ideas, or maybe.....
I think you’re being very kind on your review of this Omnis Chaos.
It’s ridiculously high priced and I’ve never seen a review where you had to state so many times that a lot of things are missing or hopefully coming in the future.
If the brand name wasn’t Pioneer or Alpha Theta he’d be criticising the hardware.
I agree...I had hands on experience and wasn't impressed. The Denon Prime Go is cheaper,
better and the build feels like what you would expect.
@@darktherapy And the looks.
Seems to be par for the course on this equipment, with reviews that is. Very soft reviews. I also agree with @darktherapy, had this been any other competitor, it would have been slammed, over price for the missing features, the Hot Cue's only feature, pitch faders, etc. Now, the bluetooth feature is a really nice feature.
To be fair to MoJaxx, he did say he was a little disappointed that this "futuristic" device has missing items and wasn't happy about that.
@@kco223how is the Go better?
A lot of very safe reviews of this with minimal criticism despite its many shortcomings.
A prime GO competitor with no streaming about 4 years too late and nearly double the price.
Majorly uncompetitive.
Pretty obvious a lot of reviewers just do not want to criticise Pioneer/Alpha Theta. Haven't heard a single reviewer criticise it's looks, despite it looking like an absolute piece of trash.
Agreed. Missing a lot of functions you need as a mobile DJ but the reviews overlook these details.
The jogwheels are vastly superior to the denon, that's what makes this a fun controller
@@Nogi-aka-DJNugz Are jog wheels alone worth the massive price difference?
I mean the GO is still ahead of this but hoping they announce the Go 2! It will surely wipe the floor with this!
i'd rather denon put the time into making the software and firmware more stable before releasing more gear. I've had nothing but issues and headaches with my prime go and engine
@@MastahKylerwhat kind of headaches? I've updated as they have released new firmware and have had no issues at all. I also only update via Wifi.
The jogs suck on the prime go
You can tell nobody wants to ruffle any feathers and potentially lose the ability to get product sent to them. I've watched the reviews from CT and Crossfader and they both seem overly positive.
Jap, that's what I already stated. They are all careful af. No serious DJ would recommend this ugly to for $1500/€1600.
same. As much as the reviewers are kinda iffy about this new controller they still leave it being overly accepting of the new product
@@starkillatvindustry plants, all of them. Gone are the days of honest reviews
This is why you can't trust full time content creators any more. They're not producing reviews, just demos and adverts.
They do their viewers a disservice and should be ashamed of themselves!
I thought after seeing Mojaxx roast the Opus Quad (largely for its looks and form factor) I'd find something similar for this, but he seems to have taken it pretty easy.
Considering that the prime go will start to show it's age soon, Pioneer had a golden opportunity to release a competitive product, and I think they wasted it.
For 1500 dollars, you could get a mixstream pro, a pair of monitors and headphones and pretty much do the same, if not more (streaming). The only thing I'm happy to see here is Bluetooth, but not enough to justify the price tag.
Bluetooth is nothing exclusive, even. Denon had already announced BT for all their devices (the chips are there), it's coming. And yes, 1500 is a joke.
USB-C is missing from Prime Go / NuMark
@@BlueHawk80 exclusive or not, it's a convenient feature that most brands should adopt moving forward.
nothing really convenient about BT tbh. Gimmick feature, maybe nice for some hobby or mobile DJs (song requests) but thats really it. Streaming would be more cool, but that is missing here once again, of course.
@@BlueHawk80 Yep, song requests are the first thing that comes to mind when I think of a use case for BT.
$1,500 ???!!! Seriously?! I can't wait for the comparison videos between this "innovative" controller and the DENON DJ PRIME GO. 🤣🤣🤣
but the denon dj prime go does not look good at all.
I have the Numark Mixstream Pro, and they seem very similar, both in looks and features. After a few mishaps, I can tell that the build quality of the Numark is very good, and as got mine, used but not even unpacked, (the model without battery) for $450, I think I''ll keep it. I really can't see what would make me pay more than $1000 extra for the Omni duo, and I'm a pretty hardcore Pioneer gear user.
@@leobianchi2524 Sure it does. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@@leobianchi2524oh yeah because the looks of the controller make it function and sound better 😂😂😂
Would be a contest when priced around 700/800 ish price range..
No aux input and no streaming services is not a comparison at all in my opinion
I’m on the lookout for a small, portable board, but I just can’t justify this over the prime go - no way
Go with Denon. Friend of mine has one, it’s superb and feels pro even for the price. Also the the normal black color just looks mature and not a 14 year old teenage toy
100% agreed @@lmilianl
We need to stop normalizing OUTRAGEOUS prices for, essentially the same controller as every other one. 99% of the controls are the same. The screen UI is different, but the code behind it is the same. We have to take a stand against this crap.
That's a $500 controller! Tops! There's very little R&D required when you just change the plastic.
This isn't on you, Mojaxx. People do listen to your opinion, though. I'd love to see an episode on the price of controllers, and why you do or don't agree with the amount.
Mojaxx is probably told by Pioneer/AT to not be too negative, or he will lose early demo unit access. Same for Crossfader or DigitalDJTips. I love these channels a lot, but for proper and unbiased reviews, hmmm. Doubts. For $1500 they're way too positive.
This is why monopolies kill innovation. Pioneer and AT are cynically cannibalising their own market. I have a DDJ1000 and when I finally upgrade it will be to Denon SC 6000/1850, not Pioneer CDJ 3000s which are grossly overpriced and lacking in features
If this was priced the same as the Denon Go, they could have had a winner. Unfortunately with their current pricing strategy, they are pretty much becoming the Teenage Engineering of the DJ world, and are catering for people with more money than sense! 🤣🤣🤣
This costs $100 less than a pro tier Denon SC6000 media player lol
And $200 more than a SC Live 4... ridiculous @@randomchannel323
@@randomchannel323 Apples to oranges. The only practical comparison here is the Mixstream Pro Go or Prime Go. If you wanna compare flagship media players, you can get two SC6000s for $3200, while a pair of CDJ-3000s is $5000 for LESS functionality
Field DJ Desk incomming !
@@marcus268 Two desks. You need an extra one for you can of hipster beer and tik tok camera!
The Prime Go shits all over it
Especially being 50% cheaper. This looks like some chineese plastic rip-off.
here here!
$1500 LOL.
I was looking at this during your pre amble and thinking i wonder what price, gonna be way more than the Numark Go cause Pioneer but it looks way more cheaply made than the Prime Go but with the added "Pioneer Tax" i be it rocks in at the same price about $1000.
bought my prime go for 600€ second-hand, great condition (though during pandemic)
@@FunctionGermanyyou paid 550 to much
your mom is 550 too much, Pioneer sheep @@wetmonkeydiapers7069
@@wetmonkeydiapers7069 the material cost alone is probably 600€. the R&D and software support comes on top. i think 1000€ is a decent price for the prime go. i was lucky to buy it this cheap.
amazing review!
Id like an honest review 🤷♂️
1 major reason no1 should get this its the coating on it that rubber type mess after like a year it will turn sticky i think some people know what i mean stanton used it its a full mess and removing it is wow hard
even my mom looked at this and said wtf lol
Cool w new stuff, and great review as usual. But I´m more interested in an update of XDJ-700 or XDJ-1000mkII.
I think the ZX is well overdue a make over and would love and hope to see lots of this new tech incorporated into the ZX2 and RX4
NO STREAMING SERVICES onboard again like Opus Quad !! WTF !
streaming will be ready in 2 years time... lol .. we dont ant to stream music, I like it on my HDD thanks
you dont speak for everyone, thanks @@deeejay1054
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery... once again, Denons innovation is making the 'club standard' developer "cough cough" innovate too... Pity this will probably disappear when the monopoly arrives... just like a government without an opposition, the only people who will benefit won't be the general public... and we will pay more for less. The irony is that the industry and those that purport to care about it are the ones who are letting this happen. I know I sound like a stuck record...pun intended lol and very cynical, and I think rightly so... but if I end being wrong, I'll happily eat an entire bakery of humble pie.
Still, nice to see some new tech and choice for the community. There are some cool features on here, but price vs the go? Thanks for keeping us up to date..
Pioneer IS club standard. Cough cough. Denon doesn’t get a look in club wise. Denon is king of bedroom and mobile “DJs”.
Pricing is ridiculous 🤣
definitely prime go more better...waves zoom..horizontal...more better screen fx..plus point it got aux.input...prime go update heard bluetooth soon...light weight can connect my flx4..giving option to mix 3 and 4 channel via my laptop...alpha is trying new experiment...best wishes..
Honestly i _really_ want some spinning platters gear for Rekordbox, either some kind of Rev7 or Rane 13's, until something like that happens honestly i am sitting on my DDJ1000
Been saying the same thing for a while too! This does look nice though.
Crss plx
I’ll be brutally honest. The indigo blue is a nice touch just don’t understand why the platters are just so plain looking. Love the idea but hate the design.
platters are awful - no displays, no thanks
As a fan of modular kit where I can use different mixers and use whatever fits the day connected, I really need an update to my XDJ-700's. They are the oldest gear with touch enabled features in the whole lineup of players. It came out just after the first XDJ-1000. Even if the all-in-one's have taken over a lot, small modular players are outstanding in value. Not only are they extremely light weight and can be used in any combo of gear, but in case there's a mixer in place, or I want to extend the existing 2 player setup to a 4 player setup, I only need to bring the players which fits in a backpack and weighs in around 3 kg's. Obviously as seen on the Omnis Duo,, they can pack a lot of the new features in to that 7 inch screen. I bet they could fit an 8'' high res screen within the same frame as the old 7''. On a single player, that would be quite enogh even for my old eyes. I have the Mixstrem pro, and the 7'' is a tad bit too small for all the info needed, which means some stuff have very small fonts, and I have to use my hated reading glasses to comfortable see what's in front of me. Never need that with single screens.
I absolutely agree with this. I would love to see a successor to the 700s as well as an engine OS equivalent.
I concur. I'd take something that looked like the jogwheel sections of this unit as standalone class compliant midi controllers. I don't really need a screen on them, I just want something to control Dejay on an iPad using a mixer that actually sounds good.
@@afursedon For that pupose you can use the old XDJ-700's if you want mechanical jog's, or any other HID compatible player. For me it's the internal software that needs to be updated. I never do and never will use a computer as a DJ, except for preparations. When the XDJ-700 came out 8 years ago the features were similar to the CDJ-2000 Nexus, which still has the foundation of digital Dj'ing, but a lot has happened in 8 years, not the least the speed of loading tracks with a lot of meta data, and to handle large libraries of music without lag. Also the screen tech has devoloped a lot, so an 8'' high res touch screen should be very possible to implement without to much trouble or higher cost. I don't need every feature of the CDJ-3000's, but if I can get a 700Mk2 similar to the XDJ-1000Mk2 vs CDJ-2000NXS2, but with less buttons, I would be very happy. Price for the pair could be close to a XDJ-RX3, and I would order a pair the minute they were announced. I have plenty of 2 & 4 channel mixers to use for different situations..
i have ti say i like the mic effects option
In @mojaxx defense, none of the reviewers, so far have REALLY criticized this experiment from Pioneer DJ. I wonder why… 🙄
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔
Because real critism would most likely keep them from getting review units sent to them. I was slightly disappointed in CT and Crossfader because if it were any other company, they'd get dragged to through the mud.
@@atypical_blk_guyit was sarcasm. He wasn’t actually asking. When I watch a review I don’t listen to the reviewer’s opinion, I watch and listen to how the gear works. Who cares what some reviewer thinks. It’s subjective anyway! Make up your own mind. Much better.
1 bluetooth input and 10 min cache per deck would be nice for b2attlin. double flip button be handy there too
aiming to take out Denon here...wont happen though 😎
@@djstuc potentially yeah, Some of the Denon stuff is great
Lol fat chance of even competing with Denon let alone taking them out, they are clutching at straws and playing catch up with this product.
Denon and Numark staff are laughing there arse off, this AT fisher price is no match for them, even less for $1500 hahaha
The denon joghweels feel fisher price
The aesthetics is reminiscent of the old Stanton SCS & CMP gear
Bluetooth audio input is a interesting concept. I would like to have more battery powered controllers for more mobile wireless events.
i like it very much
I kind of slagged it off at facevalue elsewhere, but actually upon hearing it in use it actually looks and sounds pretty fun to play with, the effects really crisp, maybe it doesnt really need to stream. I kind of like that idea, and the bluetooth just works... Yet that should become standard all over anyway.
I'm really curious if Denon are planning to release upgrades of their groundbreaking equipment soon tho...
Maybe I'll cop one of these, but I'll revisit it around summertime. I have a DDJ-REV7, which I love, but only found out that this device is standalone and so digging the form factor overall. I'll wait to see about how things flesh out with regards to additional features such as Serato support (not a fan of the Lite version, considering the controller's price). Will be interesting to see if the Prime GO steps up this year, but I"m otherwise enamored by having a standalone device that I can quickly cart off and use when I don't need the heft of the REV7. As always, great review Mojave.
I hear you about not having aux input. However, using a DI box I can connect to the mic inputs.
So what software is this running? Is it Rekordbox or did they create something specifically for the Alpha Theta branded materials?
Dope review! So can I load two Bluetooth sources to both decks from Spotify, Tidal (on mobile) etc
Nice fisher-price for 1600€.
At first sight felt weird but then I loved it
That screen bezel 😭
yeah its crazy thicccc, right
Why do reviews for Pioneer/AlphaTheta gear always come off like trying to convince someone why a 70s Ford Pinto is better than a Tesla?
Because reviewers don't want to lose the ability to have product sent to them.
looking at the big picture , using the Alta Theta brand name, it quite possibly exists in part as a way to be able to finalise the acquisition of Serato
How do the knobs and faders feel, solid and semi-professional or more like a cheaper midi controller?
They look really cheap and light weight plasticy on screen, don't they
How long before someone makes a Pioneer DJ skin for it 😂. Technically it seems pretty good but looks wise and the advertising they've put out it doesnt seem its for me...the price is a lot for its competitors units. Good honest review Mojaxx, Ive been looking for a new device for the year or so and your videos really help. I was hanging on for a new Pioneer device but sadly this is not it.
I like your explanation of the whole pioneer alpha thing. 2 channels would be fine if you could also layer accapellas and loops within each deck. Why isn’t such a simple thing possible? It Would make this and the RX3 so much more attractive too. I think most people rarely need more than 2 decks but just want the added creative flexibility that this would provide.
I really like the concept of this and the Prime Go. It is a small all-in-one that you can bring anywhere or just simply have a small, fully functional setup to put in the bedroom. Sure this thhing price is high af, but the only reason I would consider it over the Go is because rekordbox
Agreed. Not sure why everyone is knocking the price so much as when was pioneer ever cheap? I’d much rather have this over a Go. Always fancied one of them but can’t ever bring myself to buy Denon gear again.
1:17 Those tiny faders so close together doesn't look very ergonomic, even the Mixtour Pro has them more spaced
It’s a small portable unit not a large performance unit. Not for turntablism is it.
from what material this made? does it feel cheap or rock solid like denon go?
EQ the mics! That what I was missing on the Prime GO. Just placed an order for the Omnis Duo just for that...
The prime go has a mic eq in the display.
Placing an order just because of Mic EQ - which the Go also has in the GUI - is incredibly stupid.
Go is 3x better than this shit.
@@BlueHawk80Agreed, seriously pissing money away
@@mixx_factoryhelp me out then please where can i find the mic eq in the display?
@@r-win9129 settings tab. Then mic/aux setting . There should be there
A preparation for the future
I mean its nice to hear that the Pioneer name isn't going anywhere
Is it possible to program STEMs on the pads or is it strictly cue points and loops?
Is the USB port on the back Class Compliant like on the Go? And can we have USB sticks or SD Cards with RekordBox exports on their bigger than 128GB?
Yooo.. That bluetooth cache is really interesting!
It's a neat feature. I hope something like that shows up in the Denon Prime Go 2 🌈
@@robertschnobert9090 This feature is not hardware related. This ability can be implemented without any problems even with the 4-year-old Denon Prime GO. This capability can be implemented by changing the firmware - the Engine OS software. No new hardware is needed at all (Prime GO2, or Prime GO+).
But it doesn't make much sense on the Denon Prime GO. Prime GO has powerful and smart streaming options (Tidal, Beatport, BS, SoundC). The entire song from the streaming server goes to Prime GO's dedicated buffer instantly, within seconds. Up to 250MB audio file size from streaming server. Track is complettely analyzed (BPM, Key, Waveform, ID tags, Beatgrid etc.)
The song from the BT input on Omnis, goes into the buffer memory only while playing from BT source. A few seconds before the audio is routed to the Omnis Duo's main audio output. Max. 10 minutes (50MB)
Basically, Prime GO doesn't even need BT input. Despite this, there will be BT input on Prime GO as well. I believe very soon.
The color reminds me of traktor s4 mk3 in purple edition color they had.
This controller cannot be compared with the Denon Prime Go for at least one reason: Denon has a link port and can be used together with various other devices. In addition, it has a high-quality professional-level audio path. It’s not clear how things are going with this in Alpha Theta. But it is known that in recent years Pioneer preferred to spend more on marketing, saving on high-quality hardware. I wonder if there is at least a function to change the key of a track during its playback?
Nonsense. Of course it can be compared. Only some folk want to link things. Regardless it’s a total legitimate comparison. I could say the Go can’t be compared because of its ridiculously small jogs. There wouldn’t be much point comparing things that were the same would there.
Also it’s not a controller. It’s a stand alone unit.
Nice to see innovations coming in from Alpha Theta. The Bluetooth input, usb-c charger and looks are welcome! But still very much behind on the competition on aspects as dedicated stems control, live streaming and even no effects pads :-(. So I sorry but overpriced and late to the party.
Prime Go 2 should have USB-C charging, Bluetooth & SKAA connectivity, stems and bigger jogs.
A unlikely bonus Serato support would be nice.
There's no innovation here... its a blatant copy of what engine dj are doing down to the quick menu...
I think bluetooth out and the physical output available at the same time questions me a lot because of delay issues, if those blend together, the delay between two will makes a lot of messy sounds... (better to have hardware output a delayed signal out from option)
Does it have Bluetooth input as well as output? How about using with WiFi streaming speakers like Sonos?
If you have a loop on a hot cue (created on another mixer or Rekordbox) does it still show on this controller but just act as a standard hot cue?
Seeing as you it has the time (when connected to the internet), when you record a mix to a USB, does it have the date and time on the file?
You said about having a Bluetooth speaker in the next room; would that be any good, given how weak Bluetooth can be?
Can you slide the beat grid, like you can on CDJ and XDJ devices?
Where's the sync functionality, I assume within the touchscreen? The lack of a line input is.a serious miss IMO but I like the Bluetooth caching.
I don't get the aux input thing on portable DJ controllers. Are you using it for a groove box or synthesizer or something?
@@robertschnobert9090It opens endless possibilities for creativity and jamming with other devices (think the highly popular portable scratching for instance) but without the lag bullshit.
Can this record your set?
Serato Scratch Live had the bluetooth deck feature forever ago, it was called "live feed" it's a shame they never brought it into Serato DJ
just got to the part of the video where you mention this, hah
When mpc and ddj have a baby - it’s almost getting there
This is a support controller for pro djs. Beginner/amateur djs cannot afford 1500 for something to learn from or to play 'at a friend's pool party'. Smh. I agree it's new tech, and some of the wireless features ARE useful, but at it's CORE, it doesn't do much more than say a ddj400 🤷♂️
Looks like new version of The Stanton SCS.4DJ
What speaker is he using here?
It looks like an entry level device with all the technical and fun features under the hood which would be an absolute headache if you're in your flow.
Good idea, but not well executed imo.
I was hoping for more...
Firstly this unit looks like it is made by Fisher Price, I am not a fan of the look, the colour looks shocking, what are they playing at. I don't think it is a competitor to the Denon Prime Go as InMusic cannot make a controller that lasts, I have been through 3 Rane One's, the external build quality is great don't get me wrong but the upfaders are crap and appear to be from the Numark Parts Bin. Also what is it with removing all the external controls and putting them into a Touchscreen, do you realise how much of a pain in the arse that is, I hate the Mics are on a touch screen for the EQ, also the effects etc. Sorry this is not for me, they urgently need to do a update on the XZ and also address the latency issue with Serato (no my laptop is not crap and it works perfectly with other controllers, the XZ there is a slight latency which drives me crazy)
Wait even if I own serato pro I have to pay another fee?
Not including the transmitter for the wireless speaker they launched is *wild* for the price
it has to be said that the looping button was present in the XDJ-R1 very useful then disappeared and now back again as novely ?
The Auto-Loop button/knob has been standard issue on Denon gear since the SC5000. Not sure why Pioneer never got on this one, it's super handy and much quicker than setting in/out loops. I'd guess it's here, cause they were trying to clone the Prime Go.
it is indeed , pioneer had it in 2013 then got rid of it, I was lucky enough to have a XDJ-R1 for long time, mega useful@@KuroDensetsu
ngl was looking for something like this last year in RB format, but no physical channel select for FX?...jeeze.
Curious is there any delay playing through Bluetooth speakers?
Yes. Lots on any normal Bluetooth speaker. Like half a second.
This is twice the price it should be imo
shouldn't you compare it to the numark mixstream pro go? I think in terms of quality, the numark is closer to the alphatheta than the denon prime go.
How's mixstream different than prime go?
@@nexus-cj3pm build quality, I/O etc...
@@lucasmaia8315 size of jogwheels, battery cap, overall design
@@nexus-cj3pm half the price 😉
$1500 🤣those faders, knobs and buttons look so cheap.
If it was $900 but it's $3.5k AUD no way
Adding streaming services on Pioneer/AT gear is not as easy as it sounds, they’ve never done it on any unit, even the top gear opus quad.. (only CDJ 3000 has Beatport streaming I think).
It requires to build track analysis features on the device, meta data management (cue points, loops, rating, tags..) for tracks which aren’t stored locally, and probably many other features that simply don’t exist on pioneer gear today. I think that’s why it’s taking so long.. but of course the Engine DJ software already has all of that so they probably should get going asap…
Something they should have been thinking about for going on 10 years or more
The XZ and the XDJ-1000s both need a refresh... id even go as far to include the 750mk2 mixer... they need to at least be brought up closer to what the Nexus/NXS line up gave us.
pretty dope
are u on drugs?
I hope you’re feeling well mojaxx…..
He still looks kinda unhalthy/sick :( I hope so too!! Love his videos
UK Release date????
Seems pricey for the category, but at least it’s got 8 pads
I said this elsewhere and I believe it's worth mentioning here. It's too expensive given the international market conditions. Meaning, shipping cost have stabilized (ocean transportation, import fee's (duties and taxes, etc.), manufacturing (overseas) cost are actually down, not to mention labor cost overseas is still criminal compared elsewhere.
If AlphaTheta is charging a premium price for this equipment, it's because it's their "flagship Name Brand" and nothing else. It's going to be interesting to see what additional products they come out with and hopefully they will be fully integrated with all the items MoJaxx mentioned.
I honestly believe they rushed to get this out with the hope that someone like MoJaxx, Cleveland Terry and Nick Spinelli would hype this up. I believe they believe it's a great product and I also believe they know it's missing, as MoJaxx said, features now that may have to wait for a firmware update.
Possibly the worst looking controller I've ever seen. Looks like a toy for a 2 year old.
I was going to say it looks a but Fisher Price
..are u sure that if u scratch of AlphaTheta sticker it doesn`t say Numark underneath ?? 🤔
It's a great controller and vastly superior in build quality to the dated Prime Go. Though Prime Go has some incredible features, the user experience is lackluster due to the wack jog wheels. Pioneer seems to "get" the DJ regarding the user experience.
1500$ ????? Are you nuts? Nahhh ... Not nearly worth it.
No stems?
I see a lot of negative comments here. I for one, am excited about this for one feature... MIC EQ! If the Prime Go had it, I'd be using it for ceremonies and when I bring that up in FB groups, users say "use a separate mixer". The whole point of a standalone, all-in-one is that you don't need other gear. With Mic EQ, this will be my ceremony unit. I could care less about streaming.
Prime Go 2 should have USB-C charging, Bluetooth & SKAA connectivity, Stems, bigger jogs, screen tilt.
question - what about beatgrid editing? a fully standalone capable of streaming from beatport and alikes, should be able to do track analysis and beatgrid editing on its own. if this is not the case and you have to rely on rekordbox analysis, than it is a big no no for me.
It’s not capable of streaming from Beatport. You’re looking at the wrong device for your needs. Like knocking a bike when looking for a car.
he said, he wants beatport, he wants soundcloud, asap.
I KNOW it is not capable of doing this right NOW.
@@tallahchris so If you want Beatport and soundcloud asap get something else FFS
Better than Prime Go, but they missed the price point. So I wouldn't be interested in either Go or... Whatever this thing is called. I love pioneer, i stunt know what this is though. It who it's for.
Where are the cue buttons for slicing and prehearing?
They don't exist, you can imagine them in your head though 😂😂😂
@@hardkore360 I think they are preset because there is a cue volume one, so you'll always listen to the mix, but that's not practical if ylu want to set a cue pointin the track where can be mixable and you don't know the song by heart
1500!!! 😂
All I want is a standalone rev 7
I like the idea of more portable/all in one hardware. Makes impromptu djing much more flexible and easy.
Great review.
Miss the twitch sets sir. ❤
It's giving Marshall's / TJ Maxx feels.
