The Pioneer Pro DJ Experience:CDJ-800MK2

[quote]MP3 Support
The MP3 audio format has taken the world by storm and now the CDJ-800MK2 can play all your MP3s; CBR or VBR at any bitrate from CD-R or CD-RW.
Improved Jog Dial
The CDJ-800MK2's 7-inch jogdial has been improved to a slightly stiffer feel as well as a new metallic ‘non-slip’ finish for better scratch performance. The Jog Dial Display is now brighter and has been brought closer to the surface of the Jog for better viewing angles. The center display also features 45-degree markers for added visual cueing assistance.
Updated Display
The main display can now show CD-Text and ID3 data for rapid track identification.
Expanded Internal MemoryMore memory points can now be recorded to the player's internal memory for rapid recall of your commonly used cue points.
Auto Beat Loop
Uses 4 timing buttons to instantly create perfect 1, 2, 4, or 8 beat loops. When a loop has been produced manually with the loop in and loop out buttons, this feature allows instant 1/1, 1/2, 1/4/, 1/8 beat cuts of the initial loop. Holding the Loop-In button allows you to further cut the beat - down to 1/32nd!
Quick Return
Enables a track to return instantly again and again to a cue point just by pressing the surface of the Jog Wheel.
"Wide" Pitch Control
DJ's can use the +/- 100% pitch control range to create new sound effects from opposite ends of the sound spectrum and also to BPM match completely different tracks.
New Metallic Finish
New metallic buttons and pitch slider give the CDJ-800MK2 a fresh new look.

And DJ Zinc, DJ Friction, DJ Hype... fuck man, a lot of the big DnB names use them too. Andy C still packs around the black crack though.

$20 bucks and up for something on wax. or 2-$3.50 for something in high quality digital mp3 (and sometimes Wav).

the choice is simple i think

TC actually has a song about being a DNB dj and using cdjs, i didnt say they only used them, but you have to admit there is a much greater percentage of house and trance djs who use cdjs

Only because there's a way larger percentage of House and Trance DJs in this world. lol

But seriously, if I were to be just picking up spinning now instead of 4 years ago, i'd probably be all digital. No matter what genre.

its great and all that you can buy these for 800 a piece but why would you want to?

1600 will buy you a secksi laptop and sl.

I agree - and I hear ya. Some just prefer to play entirely digital vs. with decks.

[ppcock]

honestly.. the best source for CDJ's is youtube

go to tomlee, check out some CDJ's, anyone that catches your eye, search it on youtube, you'll find explorations on the deck, what all the features do, durability, support.

I just watched a 10min vid on the CDJ 1000.

USING CDJS INSTEAD OF VINYL IS LIKE BONING WITH 4 PLASTIC BAGS TAPED AROUND YOUR DICK.

BUT EVEN IF YOU HAVE CDJS YOU MAY AS WELL GET SERATO AS WELL. ITS NOT REALLY AN EITHER/OR RELATIONSHIP l
