I Bought this when it came out last year and its one of the best so far ......Much love and respect from South Africa

Love your review. Long time Serato/Vestax controller user here. About a year ago, I wanted to upgrade and took the leap of faith to the DDJ1000. Can't say enough about how much I enjoy this setup. One of the most versatile controllers I've personally used. Rekordbox has been very stable. Never had any issues with sound or freezing. I use it regularly for gigs.

Excellent fun and informative video. Thanks for doing this. I just got the DDJ-1000 based on your video and some other research. I was mulling it over and Amazon suddenly put it on sale for $999 so I pounced. I’ve never used anything like this before-just Virtual DJ on Automix and plain old players and a mixer before that. I have a lot to learn!

10 + Year Serato Faithful...bought the DDJ 400 to “dip my toe” into Rekordbox...one month later bought the 1000. Actually the day the 800 was announced (wanted to wait to see what was more my speed) and I echo your sentiments 100 percent. This controller is the BEST piece of gear I’ve EVER owned. Period. I got a smokin’ deal on it as well (Thanks Sweetwater!) I haven’t had this much fun DJing in YEARS. Great video man, just subscribed. I enjoy like minded peers. Thanks for your real review of this amazing controller. I too wish I bought it in January of 2018! Cheers and happy mixing.

Great video, I'm waiting for my 1000-SRT to arrive, a couple weeks to go so I'm getting excited watching all the positive reviews for the original 1000. I rocked on Numark's NS7 & NS7II for my mobile gigs and was very happy with them up until recently when my NS7II couldn't be repaired and support has been dropped. So word, looking forward to my 1000-SRT. Thanks for the videos I'll be going thru your channel now for more.

As usual, great vid. There is a reason you are my go to guy to talk all things software/hardware. You are thorough and honest. Thank you!!

Thanks for this review. I've been eyeing the 1000 for a few weeks now. I am going to be ordering it this week.

Great, in-depth review as always Terry. I look forward to your videos, sharing your honest prospective. I’ve been using Serato and RB (thumb drive) for many years. RB has come a long way, Pioneer has invested a lot of time/research/money to make it a fully featured DJ software. However, to me the stone cold killer is going to be the Denon Prime 4 controller. I saw and spent time with it at NAMN and it’s amazing. Denon has truly listened to DJ’s and it exceeds expectations. The Prime Engine software is also very Intuitive and has a fantastic work flow. This is the future, Its going to force Pioneer to innovate. In the very near future the Prime 4 will be Serato and Virtual DJ compatible (with a laptop). Once released it will accept, all of the Serato meta data, queue points, folders, etc without external conversion making it very easy to convert.

Man, you waited a year, I’m still waiting 😩. I do love everything about it. I got the DDJSX2

Been a diehard Traktor user for years and I'm now seriously considering Rekordbox and the DDJ-1000 to replace my previous set-up. Your video has pretty much turned me over. Great comments, great review.

Was browsing thru KZread and came upon your video.....Very good insight on the DDJ-1000!!!! I've had it for almost a year and it blew me away!!!! I always tell people who are used to Serato that Rekordbox is Serato on Steroids......It takes it bit of learning and I'm still finding out different things on it, but it is a very good program!!!! The DDJ-1000 has made alot of us who cannot fork up the 6 Grand for the nexus system very happy.

Why???

Cleveland this is the exact same thing I went through and I’m so glad you made this video. I traded my DDJ-SX3 for the DDJ-1000 a few months ago and I have not looked back. The one thing I would add is that the Magvel cross fader is a big improvement over the standard cross fader on the SX3. Especially for scratch DJ’s. The only feature I’m missing in Rekordbox is that the playlist folders are not playable like they are in Serato. I didn’t know it will work with algoriddim djay software as well. I will definitely try it out. Keep the videos coming. Great job…

Kudos! what an excellent review. I was planning on the DDJ-1000 but not Serato compatible stop me. But, still just like you, I fall in love with 1000 and the price is right. The 1000 would be my future controller. Thank you.

Awesome! You explain things really well with great detail. This will help me make an informed decision. Appreciate you.

What a superb and enthusiastically honest review. Thank you! Subbed.

Thank you for this! Like many out there I'm dying to get my hands on the DDJ-1000. Had waited a bit when I heard rumours of the DDJ-800 but was totally disappointed specifically by the fact that the jogs are smaller and the technology is different. Was going to buy the SX3 but will rather save up and get the DDJ-1000. Don't really care much for the mic inputs and the tech there, but all in all, THIS is my next controller! Nice review!

I just upgraded to DDJ 1000 from my SX2 yesterday! I love the thing. I’m still testing out rekordbox. And I don’t have any complaints coming from serato.

This video helped me a lot! I'm using the sx2 right now but dreaming about the ddj 1000 every night... thanks man

THANK YOU! Outstanding review, I think you verbalized much of what we’ve all been thinking for some time now. I’d love to see a review from you on Pioneer’s lighting interface with Rekordbox, the RB-DMX1... pros, cons, etc... thanks again

fantastic review... best one i've seen on KZread, thanks for the info. just got a 1000

Thank you for this. I'm considering switching from Serato to Rekordbox due to this controller. It really has everything I want/need in a controller. I've been djing jungle/drum and bass since 96 and was vinyl only until maybe 2005 or 2006. I took some time off from djing from 2010-2020 but now am back and streaming 2-3x week on Twitch while in lockdown. Ive been using a Numark MixDeck Express because it can function without a laptop which had me considering the Denon Prime 4 as an upgrade. However, I'm leaning more towards the DDJ-1000 because, if/when things get back to normal I want to be more familiar with what's in all the clubs these days. Thank you for such an in-depth review. I've already seen enough about the DDJ-1000SRT that it's not even a consideration anymore. Pioneer clearly wants people using Rekordbox.

Great review on the DDJ-1000, keep up the good work 👍

This helps so much, I've just moved across to Rekordbox after 18 odd years on Traktor and got a DDJ 400 to test the system. Was going down the 800 path, though now after this review the 1000 must be it. Really great video that gets to the points. Nice.

Honest and simple review, thanks for the video

Thanks for this mate! I'm looking to buy the DDJ-1000 soonish, and your video was really helpful. I'm not pro whatsoever - took a long break from DJing on vinyl and only in the last couple of years got into digital DJing (ebay special DDJ-SB and Mixxx) and looking to upgrade. Going to look into Record Buddy - thanks for that suggestion too!

Well I appreciate your perspective. And thank you for a well made video again

Welcome to the DDJ 1000 Club. I agree,it is a great controller. I use both Rekordbox and VDJ with it. I bought it November 2018 but i had issues getting the video to work with Rekordbox, then they assisted me, and it worked like a charm. Have fun🎶🎵🎧

Currently using a DDJ-400, but I really want to start playing with a third deck now. This thing looks absolutely fantastic. Proper jogwheels, all the effects at your fingertips and the possibility to add turntables or CDJs to it is awesome too. I suppose I gotta start saving up now...

Absolute awesome review and Vlog - Just answered all those questions and doubts I have about switching from serato and an SX2 to either going for the upgraded SX3 or the 1000 & Rekordbox.....thank you. I am ready to now buy the 1000 but like most serato users were waiting to see if Pioneer bring out another controller like a sz3 or similar so we know their collaboration is still going. The SX3 was a big diapointment to say the least and im still reading bad reviews on it today, me like you wanted to just do and upgrade to that but Pioneer screwed us serato users and I think thats why we do not want to make a change - we feel let down

Thank you for this great authentic review based on heart

I had the exact same experience as you. Been spinning on turntables for 20 years. Got the Pioneer DDJ SX when it first came out and went digital, but some how wasn't 100 % satisfied with the jog wheels. Got the DDJ 1000 when it first came out. I have been using it for about year and a half and love it, love it, love it!!!! DJ'ing is so much fun again. Honestly my Technic 1200's have a little dust on them since my 1000 came home. Great review and I second your notion of Rekordbox being solid and legit software. It even adds the bonus of exporting tracks to USB sticks and playing on cdj's or another friends laptop running Rekordbox. It's the bomb. Thanks again for the review.

Top notch review sir! I appreciate your attention to detail. Subbed.👍

I just switched from the RX2 to the DDJ 1000 and haven’t looked back. What a sick controller and loving the 4 channels, DVS capability and jog wheels. Miss the convenience of popping in my USB stick and going but doesn’t outweigh the Pros

Once again an open minded, objective no holds barred review👍 Thank you Cleveland for the insight, I myself am new to Rekordbox and absolutely 💖what it has to offer. Not to mention the fact that, this software is utilized at music festivals by the top 🎶DJ's in the industry. Rekord Buddy 😊 was a life saver for a seamless transition of files, keep the informative content coming✌

I didn't realize you owned the DDJ 1000. When I saw your video about it, you liked it but didn't like the fact it was RB only. I informed you and others that Pioneer future DJ systems will only use RB software. I am glad you like the DDJ 1000 but mostly you like the RB software. I'm looking forward to your review of the software. Thank you for sharing your love for 1000.

this review is great, thank you !! Very helpful

Bro, somehow i laughed all through your video. You obviously love the DDJ1000. Thanks a r the video. Subscribed

love your reviews and opinions.

We won a TAC award at NAMM this gear for best DJ gear of 2019 on the DDJ-1000. I haven't spoken about this much on my channel but let me share some points some folks including myself haven't spoken about. It only costs $200 more than the DDJ-RX but with addition of dual USB and full size jogs like the DDJ-RZ It is $800 less than the DDJ-RZ It is slightly smaller and lighter than the RZ It's a cheaper way to get most of the DJM-900 Nexus series mixer in terms of channels and effects First Pioneer controller to use pressure sensitive jogs (less prone to interference) First of it's kind jog wheel display that will be appearing on the future Pioneer gear (like the DDJ-800) Just thought I'd share that because I think it's points that haven't been emphasized enough.

I really like the look of the DDJ 1000. Like you Cleveland I didn't want to get it because it was RB only. I've been on Serato for some time now and currently use and NS7III and really like it. I want something that weighs less and good features and large jog wheels. After your review I will give the Pioneer unit a closer look. Great informative review.

Good video can’t wait to see the review of Rekordbox. Maybe you should do a video on the comparison of Serato pro to Rekordbox that would be interesting and yes there are videos of that topic already but they are old videos. Thanks for the reviews.✌️

Glad you make these reviews mate, I just made the jump to the ddj 1000 from Traktor s4. I know what you mean about the difference with the jog wheels. the s4's are tiny and it took me ages to get used to them, still getting used to the software too but glad i made the change, the controller is beautiful. can you do a vid on using an external controller like a "F1" with the sampler? Keep making these vids rock on...Daz

I started dj'ing on serato and made a quick move to RB and I love it! I'll probably never go back to serato.

Man you remind me so much of my friend DJ M.I.B. He also switched from the SX to the DDJ-1000 about a year ago and also switched to Rekordbox from Tracktor at the same time. He lovesssss his 1000 and Rekordbox. Anyway, I also own the SX2 and the SR2. I use the SR2 as my main gigging controller, but I am very excited about the DDJ-800 mostly because of the placement of the mic controls. Anyway, great review here!!! I enjoyed it!

Thanks man! appreciate your views!

I agree 1000% I bought it having never used Rekordbox, but figured it was dope enough that I'd force myself to learn. Which I did, but there's a lot I still have left to figure out..........the one thing that keeps me from using it more regularly is I can't figure out how to get cues to stick if I put them in a loop. Once I hit tap the cue pad more then once, the loop is removed.....I know there's probably a way to get around it. I just haven't figured it out........GREAT VIDEO though as always.

Just picked up my DDJ 1000 last week w/ 20% off. I think that was a fair price, yes? I used a Pioneer Wego 3 for 5 years, picked up the DDJ 400 and now the DDJ 1000. This unit will keep me excited for a while. Thanks for your input.

Hi Cleveland Terry, I couldn’t agree more, I’m a long time mobile dj, still got the sx2, used serato for years, but I bought the DJ 1000, around 8 months ago and WOW, different level from the sx2, now fully moved over to RB and use that solely for my wedding/birthday gigs etc, (I do use vdj for karaoke with a dj2go2 controller) I cant bring myself to sell the sx2 yet? Dunno why, nostalgia? perhaps because I used serato for so long, it’s like your favorite old pair of sneakers!, but I never play out with it. Great vlog as always. Keep em coming. From.

I'm planning to upgrade from a DDJ 400 to this controller and have the same question that you have asked "Is the Pioneer DDJ-1000 still worth buying?"

You're very right. Pioneer is beyond done with serato. I'm sure they will crap out some obligatory controllers for it still, but it's obvious with the "club standard" layouts they are using that they want you to feel burdened by using anything which isn't pioneer. I really appreciate the reviews. Screw the haters. It is, definitely, what you do with whatever software you use. Which is why you need the one you like best. Way easier to have fun and play a good dj set if you enjoy what you're doing it on. Some prefer a straightforward experience (serato), some prefer a fair deal of customization (rekordbox), some want to hack the hell out of it (traktor), and some like the most cutting edge features and/or ugly appearances (vdj). I am even looking forward to your rekordbox review, even though I already chose to use that as my primary software, lol.

nice talking points terry. i grabbed the ddj1000 the month it came out. i used to be on the traktor side of the fence with my s4mk2. i agree that the jog wheels on the ddj1000 will not make you miss your turntables, but i bought the dvs option just to have it. what is weird with the dvs though is that it does not enable you to emulate the tt stop sound when pressing the start/stop button on the 1200. traktor has a better implementation on this. moving from traktor to rekordbox was a bit of a pain at first as i didnt have rekordbuddy, but it made me trim down my collection (as i had to rebuild it from scratch) to the bare essentials. one year later and i am still enjoying this controller. best jog wheels on the market! i also agree that if you could save up for the 1000, get it instead of the 800. the magvel fader is not on the 800. btw, if you scratch a lot, then do skin your controller, at least for the mixer section. the acrylic top scratches very easily! even if you use the smoothest cloth to wipe it, you will introduce microscratches on it. the crossfader part of my ddj1000 looks bad now because of this. cheers!

I did the exact same thing and switched a couple weeks ago and love the controller. I am super new to rekordbox still, however I think I have a hang of most things, it's really not that different from serato in my opinion and it's nice to just bring a thumb drive to gigs with CDJ systems. I have a couple questions with the DDJ-1000, have you had any issues with only being able to hear the master playing even when you have your headphones turned all the way to the cue? Even when I have the master cue button turned off and my cue button on for the next track, I can't really hear the next song coming up and I am praying I get the transition right at gigs. Also, do you like the use of rekordbox with your newer macbook? Any issues with touch-bar or USB-C use?

I think you just made me want to upgrade from my Rekordbox SX2, to the 1000.

I got the ddj 1000 best controller I have used and the only controller that made me ditch my technics Rekordbox is great very happy nice vid subbed

I will buy the DDJ 1000. You convinced me. Damn dude this look is cool. Just scrim down the two splashes a little. HouseNation since 1987. OG, 1st gen CDJ1000s for years. Serato since Live 1.1

Love your review man, I was hoping if you could give me your experience on a couple of things. I’m looking to potentially switch from Serato to Rekordbox however need to verify if I can do the following two actions in Rekordbox (with a DDJ1000) and how: 1) Move the track wave form back beyond 0 beat. In Serato, you can Shift+Platter back and you can move up to 32 beats before the track start and press Play. This will allow you to prep a beat drop in time with the playing track and work on other actions knowing that when you reach beat 0 that it will play as prepped. From what I can see in Rekordbox, you can go back past beat 0. 2) Be able to change the Tempo slider without affecting the BPM. In Serato, you can hold Shift+Tempo Up/Down and it won’t affect the playing BPM. This allows you to return to manipulate the tempo slider to where you require it to be for the next song, however no matter how I try, on the DDJ1000 it changes the BPM of the current playing song. Can both of these above actions be completed somehow in Rekordbox? They can be potentially deal breakers from going from Serato to Rekordbox, apart from that, the DDJ1000 is a beast!!

Although not here, clearly, but did you ever get answers to your questions? I'm particularly interested in the 1st question, as that would be really helpful for transitioning to tracks with little to no intro.

Great video. I have the DDJ-SX2 and really wanted the DDJ-1000 when it came out last year but I have big problem, and that is I'm a Windows user and Rekord Buddy 2 is only available for MAC OS right now. My library with all the cue points, saved loops, etc would all have to be redone if I wanted to get the DDJ-1000. That would take me HOURS.....hell, maybe a solid week to be honest. Just don't really want to do that.

Nice review Cleveland Terry. I have one question for you, i have been using virtual dj on my computer for about 9 years now, never used a DJ controller before. Now my question to you is what do you recommend DDJ 1000 or the DDJ-1000SRT ? So far this is the two of my choice that I am looking at right now. Thanks in advance.

transition to rekordbox from traktor was a breeze. love this controller

Brand new to DJing and want an entry level 4 channel DJ mixer. Questions for you! How is the video functionality in Rekordbox? I want to add an element of Video DJ output to my mixes. Second question, If I decided to stick with Serato is the DDJ-1000SRT just as good as this? Thanks and awesome video.

How has the transition to from Serato to RB? Do you also use RB DVS with turntables with your S9? How well does it work?

Nice video and review. I'm thinking about buying it. How is the performance of DDJ-1000 if you try to connect two Technics SL-1200 on it?. I've seen there are 'phono' inputs. Is good the performance?. Best!

What are your thoughts on the DDJ RZX? I was going back and forth about a year ago between the RZX and the 1000 and ended up pulling the trigger on the RZX. What did it for me was even though I still need a computer, I never have to look at it anymore. I keep it closed just with Rekordbox running. Completely agree with your thoughts on the Denon Prime 4 which I think is a competitor to the RZX. I did not like the plasticy feel of the Denton. The RZX has some plastic feel as well, but not near as bad as the Denon.

And then the DDJ-1000SRT come out.. i'm still rockin on the DDJ SX2 anyway, love the compatibility of the controller to be able to work with Serato - Rekordbox - Traktor and even VirtualDJ. Also easy to replace the crossfader. ;)

I got one DDJ 1000 controller too and i fall in love everyday

Its 2021 now. Im worried about buying this and then they come up with a new one! or a new XZ with 4 channel capability (for example)... What you guys think?

thanks for that video will get a ddj-1000 this christmas as a gift for myself ^^

The professor on deck, hello Cleveland✌ Thinking of purchasing the XDJ-XZ because it has a send input where I can connect a DJS-1000. For the sake of saving money, if I purchase the Rekordbox DDJ-1000, will I be able to hook up a DJS-1000 to the unit ?

Oh also, sorry to keep commenting, but the positioning of the 3rd microphone on an SX3's front; the reasoning behind it is that it is easier to access if you needed to quickly add a 3rd microphone. Reaching to the back can be tricky and sometimes risky during a gig. Let's say the MC has one mic, and the best man is doing a speech with the other, but you had to quickly make an announcement. You can quickly plug a microphone and do a quick blurb, and easily disconnect it. The front wire sticking out can be remedied with an L cable or an L adapter. I get it's not the most preferred way, but that's why you have channels 3 and 4 for the other ones.

ddj-1000 is super solid. I just miss being able to independently layer 3 fx on each deck. Any idea if this will change in rekordbox anytime soon?
