Thanks Klaus. Just wanted to make the point that it is going to be a great buy for SOME people, but not ALL - don't like seeing our audience buying and wishing they'd known some of these things earlier! :)
@@digitaldjtips I hate to say this but I actually returned my reloop turntables and picked up a DDJ-1000SRT for myself. I have to say this thing freakin' rocks! I feel almost guilty because it's so easy to mix and everything I need is right there, not to mention the convenience of carrying it around as opposed to lugging 2x heavy turntables, a mixer, and various cables. I thought this would be one glorified big toy but I'm telling everyone to get one, I love it!!
Beat jump length can be displayd on laptop screen. Just check the beat jump controll in SERATO setings. Also if you enable hw remaping for 1000 srt in SERATO, you can customize the 2× /2 loop controlls to your prefered style.
Yes, an oversight on my part re beatjump - not sure how easy it would be to remap the loop [controls with the modifier key? Haven't tried - will when I get time.
@@luisjavier4813 Yes. Just enable hw remaping in Serato and you should be able to customize almost everthing that is Serato-related. If the button is MIDI its yours to remap.
@@digitaldjtips now I’m contemplating to get it now or wait til NAMM 2023 to see if I see something else or a newer version since it may be up for an upgrade. But the ddj-1000srt is still a beautiful controller and sooooo nicely built.
It has jog adjust on srt1000 whn the cdj first came out u didnt hve any of these features u had to use keyboard shortcuts so thts the whole concept of it club style before all the fancy buttons
@@djmyguy2101 you can use rekordbuddy if you have a Mac.. unfortunately I have a Windows laptop so that took forever. It was a bit frustrating but I was actually able to make my crates more efficient in record box. The one thing I make sure to do is I update both Serato on rekordbox with new music at the same time
@@MrInternationalSound I see. Thanks for the detailed information. I'm using ns7Iii with Serato pro and thought switching would be too much of a Hassel. I also use a Windows machine with ample memory power.
@@djmyguy2101 I would say for me personally it took a good while a couple of weeks. To get it just right but like I said you end up cleaning up your crates so much better and rekordbox. Now fair warning record box does not use recursive listing. And what that is is if you have a 2019 folder and then you have a bunch of sub crates under it and Serato you can look at the entire 2019 in rekordbox you have to go to each one individually. So that's a bit annoying. But rekordbox actually run smoother on Windows than Serato Pro in my opinion
Regarding beat jump… you don’t seem have beat jump viewable/enabled in your Serato DJ preferences. I was actually impressed that it still allowed you to access the feature with it visibly disabled/turned off.
Hi Phil pretty sure there’s a checkbox in Serato settings to show beat jump controls on the display in Serato , great video , I’m a Serato user recently got the RB version which has better functionality for your buck, may consider picking one up in the secondhand/b stock market
@@digitaldjtips I have found a few. They're discontinued new but I'll make sure I get a warranty on it. I can't find anything newer that mirrors the SX3 in that price range
This set up is meant to give an idea of what the workflow is like using Pioneer CDJ2000NXSS and a DJM 900NXS (with HID and Serato DJ Pro). Most use the hardware FX on that set up and guys that require extra controls bring their DDJ-SP1 add on controller. It brings a bit more to the table with the performance pads than using standard CDJs with Serato besides the overview waveform. It would have been nice but its not a biggie.
@@WhySoBroke Nobody said it's cheap to be a DJ. But compared to what I have had to pay for DJ gear, music, converting from Vinyl to CD to digital over the years... $200 is what 15 pieces of 60 min Audio CD-R every other week for a year when I transferred my most important vinyl to CD in the mid 90's. ...and that was alongside buying new music :) . The only available Audio CD-burner at the time was $1500 and the time I spend... I'd take any of today's choice of gear no matter cost, no complaints, over that. Fortunately it has paid off for me over the years, but I didn't know it would back then.
It would've been better to just allow the original 1000 to be used with Serato, even if it required a fee. I would've definitely paid for that. But there's no way I'm buying another $1200+ controller.
I got quoted $1099 on it. Hit up your online retailers for the best deal however I’m waiting to hopefully see a ddj800srt soon. I don’t need 4 ch’s. Not much out there for 2 ch controller guys and I have Technics/S9 setup. I’m so comfortable with 2 channels and love the free space. Meh😕
Makes you wonder if that would have been technically possible - or commercially (presumably a licence feel to Serato has to be paid/collected at some point).
Think about it this way... Pioneer doesn't make a profit if you buy a different software to theirs. They are guaranteeing that they move units one way or the other. It's just that you have to choose which software you want to run with it. The one thing people are forgetting is that the SRT was released simply because there was a demand for a Serato version of the controller. And the increase in price is simply Pioneer incorporating licensing fees into it.
Great review thanks! Im using DDJ-SX2 for 3 years now and I can see it does everything what this controller can do but the jog wheels and the mixer sure feels better and the effects on the hardware is much better than Serato effects but if I upgrade I would go for the 1000 rekordbox otherwise I just keep my SX2 for another year and see what happens
It works great for me! I like it. Your Cons you mention, I wasn't worried about and they can be worked around. Your Pros you mention, I like a lot as well! Great mixer!
Great review on this product. The only hack i would say for the 4 bar looping you was stating, pressing the shift and another button would be to buy a pair of novation dicer. Wish i never sold mine 😪
Better buy turntables or CD players with time code these digital devises will become useless in a few years I bought the ddj-sz 5 yrs ago I got all kinds of bugs after it became a LEGACY DEVISE
@phil Beat Jump settings are actually showing on your screen in this video. They are displayed right below the play button. you have the loop settings and right below loop settings you have the best jump settings. It’s the same with the NS7iii best jump not having any hardware indication but it does show on the software
As I said in the video I kinda knew I was wrong on that! Bit embarrassing as I teach it elsewhere :D :D It's cool that they are. Now I need to double check if they show in the jogwheel display next to the usual loop feedback. I hope they do!
Great points Phil. Someone had to say it. I've got an SX3 and I'm definitely not changing. It's just built for the looks of Nexus Kit. Not for actual easy functionality with Serato.
Thanks for the review, @Digital DJ Tips! Very nicely done! Little remark: You can see the Beat Jump amount, if you enable it in the settings: "Show Beat Jump Controls"
What can we build with leftover parts? Oh a new controller totally innovative! Instead of just updating the existing controllers firmware to talk to Serato
Cant really blame Pioneer for that. Serato is a competitor of their software. so naturally their version of the controllers will always be better and more intuitive ;) Just gotta switch to rekordbox instead then :)
It seems like all the issues you have with this controller are personal issues on how you use your hardware. This shouldn’t be compared to other controllers. It’s in a league of it’s own. It’s just a different way to get the job done. The main thing with this controller are the large mechanical jog wheels. They are so fun to play on and have a great feel. Not worried at all about not being able to use Serato’s effects because most will find that the effects that are built into this controller work better and work on all inputs. Glad they finally came out with the Serato version of this controller. Video disc jockeys like myself will never use Rekordbox box because they still haven’t been able to have “mixed media” crates even after 5 versions of their software.
It's not about me, it's about what users expect Patrick. As I said in the piece, for some, this unit will be awesome - it's a great controller. For others, they'd be better off with a controller that mirrors Serato better - like Pioneer's own SX3. All that said, of course I'm going to point out my thoughts - it's up to the viewer to decide if those issues are important to them or not. It seems for you, for instance, that this is a great choice!
Seems a bit of a half arsed effort by pioneer here. That looping function would do my nut completely 😂. I have the Rb version which seems to me far more functional. The prime 4 seems to be the next step for Serato users imo. I can see coming in the future some way to load serato to the internal drive eliminating the need for a laptop. What do others think?
I just ordered this controller and reading all this information makes me feel like I made a very bad decision. Thinking about dropping pioneering all together.
Hi Phil, great video. I wanted to address your issue with beat jump. If you go into the settings and then under the DJ Preferences / Control Preferences there is an option you have to check to "show beat jump controls" then you will see you beat jump selected parameters underneath the loop section in your software
Yes! That was what I was looking for. Now next question - do they show on the display along with the other loop info? I hope they do - can't wait to check! Thanks Nick.
This seemed like the perfect upgrade for me till I watched this vid... But No waveform display on jogwheels ???😱 🤭 😒 Wtf Pioneer??? 🤨 Just another blatant cheapshot at Serato IMO 🙄 Do you think that it will be addressed in a future update perhaps ? Seems like everything else u mentioned can be easily solved with my ddj-sp1 as u said. Super useful video here , good stuff 👍🏽
Man ive messed around on so many controllers and the DDJ SX 1,2,3 and Numark NS6 stttttilllll absolutely kick ass. Yes they maybe dated but all these efffects and shit ya dont need if ya know how to mix properly
I used R/Box then moved to serato big mistake R/Box can do loads more serato is limited mate stick with r/b or you will be disappointed and end up back with r/b
Hey, Phil. As far as the lack of “loop button/ knob”, how about midi mapping the song select knob on each deck? I personally never use that knob/ button to select songs. I always use my keyboard. I would midi map those to become an auto-loop knob. Just a thought.....
Hi I know this is an old review. I am looking into getting into this hobby starting from ground zero. Knowing myself, if I purchase a basic controller without the on board effects and some bells and whistles I will most likely lose interest. I was looking at this system along withe the Rane 4. I remember hearing don't get hung up on controllers but knowing me i have to have the best bang for buck so I can grow into the controller without having to upgrade. What do you think? Thanks and you make great review vids.
I like it because it doesnt feature stems . Which over hyped .Stems put me off the heavyweights Rane 4 & Rev7 .Stems sapps the CPU in ya laptop hardware .
You mentioned how the Beat Jump buttons replace the search button on the DDJ 1000. Is it possible then on the SRT to search quickly through the track without having to use the screen in Serato?
Great review. Debating if I should stick with my SX3. Serato effects I hardly use but from the reviews I’ve seen, it seems like it’s a downgrade if I switch to a DDJ-1000SRT
Great video. Any recommendations on a serato controller that utilizes a single encoder for looping? I love the way traktor controllers loop but my love of serato out weighs a single controller function.
Beatjump and looping look pants on this when compared to NI Traktor software and hardware. I think Pioneer need to seriously develop this instead of bringing out a new controller every few months that is 'slightly' different from the previous model.
@@DJMANICO1 if youre doing your own thing I highly recommend it- I was mobile djing with it for a year and it was fantastic. Switching over to Serato because thats what the club scene uses in my area.
For me the djm mixer it's missing the fx time parameter control. You have also highlighted some good points. I am swaying between this and the ddjsz2 for the next controller, if it was the djm100 SRT I feel I would need a midi controller for serato fx to make up for missing out on the parameter knob. If this was the case could the midi controller also be used to control the decks of another channel while the control was used for 2 to remove the need for jumping between channels on L and R decks?
Hi Phil! First of all thanks for the nice review, always straight to the point! Second, I got a question, is there a way to avoid changing the songs with the search buttons on the ddj 1000? I don't find it very useful as I have my dedicated knob search at the corner of each deck...
best review yet thanks for pointing out pros and cons, most reviews showing us features we are all familiar with already
Thanks Dannyspeillberg.
Thank you for bringing the hype down a bit - that was needed!
Thanks Klaus. Just wanted to make the point that it is going to be a great buy for SOME people, but not ALL - don't like seeing our audience buying and wishing they'd known some of these things earlier! :)

Looks really nice and all but am sticking to my 1st love: SZ2! Prefer the layout and I have jog adjust! Add the fx control...
Atem S. me too
The only thing I like is the post crossfader effect and the jog wheel. Not worth me spending more money and dumping my SZ at all.

Fair enough! Nice controller.
The jog wheel displays look clean and less cluttered... that’s my taste.
Exactly! Some people prefer it this way, but the point is - it's DIFFERENT to the Rekordbox implementation.
Same here bro
Will PIONEER, ever come out with moving platters ??
im sticking with my NS7iii and SERATO ALL DAYYYYYYY
If the past is anything to go by, no!
I've got the mark 2 NS7 and I agree with you

Just add the SP1 and you have all the control you need, and an extra set of pads for when using 4 decks.

Knowing myself, if I purchase a basic controller without the on board effects and some bells and whistles I will most likely lose interest. I was looking at this system along withe the Rane 4. I remember hearing don't get hung up on controllers but knowing me i have to have the best bang for buck so I can grow into the controller without having to upgrade. What do you think? Thanks and you make great review vids.
DDJ-FLX10
How about that Booth Out? It works for a monitor, but the master out effects the booth out. Why? Or maybe my unit is faulty.
It can be used with virtual dj
Need help my censor keep coming on on Chanel 1 and reverse my music but Chanel 4 and 1 3 works fine please help
Sorry you'll need to speak to the manufacturer about that
did you try using the parameters buttons to see if they will halve the loops ?
No I didn't but I would be surprised if that did it as it'd be a duplication of the marked control - will try it though!
please do and give a feed back response phil
It prob works like the S9 w/the parameters just diff loop buttons.
I like it because it doesnt feature stems . Which over hyped .Stems put me off the heavyweights Rane 4 & Rev7 .Stems sapps the CPU in ya laptop hardware .
Fair enough, we think stems is great for what it's worth.
In your opinion(s). Is this a better choice than the ddj SZ2? I own a SZ2 and am wondering if this is a upgrade or down grade?? What do you think?
It's not really an upgrade or a downgrade, but it sure is more practical due to the smaller size!
Just so you know you can rout your favorite FX to the deck
Cool :)
What about the curvature of the cross fader and other faders? Can one adjust the curve on the crossfader?
Yes but in the software so a bit fiddly if you swap a lot during sets
You mentioned how the Beat Jump buttons replace the search button on the DDJ 1000. Is it possible then on the SRT to search quickly through the track without having to use the screen in Serato?
Don't have one set up to check right now, but have you tried holding down shift and turning the jogwheel? A pure guess without checking!
show beat jump is in software settings
Hello,why is it that you can't see the vu meters anymore with the new version of serato and your master volume is locked at 12 o'clock?
Are the performance pads on DDJ-1000SRT and DDJ-1000 rubber or plastic?
Great review. Debating if I should stick with my SX3. Serato effects I hardly use but from the reviews I’ve seen, it seems like it’s a downgrade if I switch to a DDJ-1000SRT
Stick with your SX3 unless you have a very good reason to switch.
The Roland 707 has me intrigued.
You don't have to use shift to loop like that just adjust the mapping..... I use this the srt version.
Sure if you're happy to get into remapping your controller :)
That is one little step only for that lol, you can find it here on yt... You telling like it is a huge issue.
a little basic is good it maybe cost less money
I have a ddj-sx it's working good but the right side jog wheel is not scratching and wheezing back
Try to take it to a repair centre if you have one locally
Phil how do you feel about this controller compared to the Denon Prime controller?
You can't compare them, as one is a DJ system that doesn't require you to bring a laptop, and one is a controller that does.
Digital DJ Tips fair enough.
Do you recommend using an external mixer/board (like a mackie, yamaha etc) for the DDJ 1000 SRT? For mobile gigs...
Yes, definitely handy for mobile gigs
Does it not have a crossfader curve knob?
Great video. Any recommendations on a serato controller that utilizes a single encoder for looping? I love the way traktor controllers loop but my love of serato out weighs a single controller function.
I can't recall one, no. This is something Traktor does particularly well.
Beatjump and looping look pants on this when compared to NI Traktor software and hardware. I think Pioneer need to seriously develop this instead of bringing out a new controller every few months that is 'slightly' different from the previous model.
Nah. I've used both and the knobs are annoying
I just pre ordered- now I might cancel and get the rekordbox 1000
nahh
dont im trying to switch from Rekordbox to Serato lol
Gogimal I decided to keep it
@@DJMANICO1 if youre doing your own thing I highly recommend it- I was mobile djing with it for a year and it was fantastic. Switching over to Serato because thats what the club scene uses in my area.
For me the djm mixer it's missing the fx time parameter control. You have also highlighted some good points. I am swaying between this and the ddjsz2 for the next controller, if it was the djm100 SRT I feel I would need a midi controller for serato fx to make up for missing out on the parameter knob. If this was the case could the midi controller also be used to control the decks of another channel while the control was used for 2 to remove the need for jumping between channels on L and R decks?
Hi Phil! First of all thanks for the nice review, always straight to the point! Second, I got a question, is there a way to avoid changing the songs with the search buttons on the ddj 1000? I don't find it very useful as I have my dedicated knob search at the corner of each deck...
I don't think so, although you may be able to turn those off in the Midi mapping section.
