Re: Pioneer CDJ 400

For the prize of 2 cdj400 i can get 2cdj200 and a cdm400.

Do you mean a djm 400 mixer?

You definitely will need a mixer, even if that means going with the lower end CD models. Also, don't forget you'll want a decent pair of headphones (an additional $60-$120) as well as some speakers.

I'm really happy that I went with the 400s instead of the 200s. I love the platter and all of the extra bells and whistles that it has. However, if I didn't have a mixer I would have probably went with the 200s b/c starting from scratch and buying a pair of 400s + a mixer + headphones could easily cost $2,000 and would have been out of my budget.

What it all comes down to is if you want the extra features. The 200s still have all of the pitch adjustment that you could want (.02%), the same great looping, and 3 jog wheel effects. But at the same time, with the 400s you get all of those features plus a boat load more!

Re: Pioneer CDJ 400

I live in the states and got them from PSSL on the 26th.

Their website said they were not available yet so I called to ask when they'd be released. They said they had them in stock so I ordered 2 for $1,260.00 and they even shipped it UPS Second Day Air for free which kicks ass!

Website even shows that they are in stock now

Actually I have been trying for almost 2 weeks now wiht no luck. Anybody else know of a reliable site to buy one.

Re: Pioneer CDJ 400

hmm, that sucks.If I remember correctly there were only a couple sites offering the $629.00 price on the authorized dealer list. I'd suggest checking all of those sites:

Your only option may be to wait at this point

Re: Pioneer CDJ 400

look decent.. would rather have the wave read out than some nifty little light changing capabilities or the scratch effects

the wave readout is only on the 1000's right?.

Re: Pioneer CDJ 400

The pioneer CMX-3000 also has wave display.

I thought I would miss it, but it really hasn't bothered me one bit. It just makes me pay more attention to the music if anything!

Re: Pioneer CDJ 400

They finally released a firmware upgrade as well as the DJs software that they've been promising to provide buyers of two 400's a free download to.

I just downloaded to find out that the free DJs software is NOT MAC COMPATIBLE! What a disappointment!

Not that I was expecting it to take the place of live or anything but I really wanted to check it out regardless.

Re: Pioneer CDJ 400

^^^i got a few questions. if you buy cdj400 today do you still have to upgrade the firmware or are the new models already updated

also what exactaly does that dj software do that they will give you if you buy two.

Re: Pioneer CDJ 400

you will probably have to do that update for the next few weeks until they get all the new ones caught up.

Here's a description of the software. Looks a little bit like Traktor http://www.turntablelab.com/dj_equip.../31/10807.html

I imagine that the new ones will have upgraded firmware already since cdj400.net tells you to check and see if you need the update first. However, I imagine that there will be other updates in the future regardless. ALso, I don't think you even need the update if you're not going to be using it with the DJS software.
