Just bought last night and it is ace! Love the fact I get everything in one unit and I can use my DJS 1000 with it too. Really looking forward to mixing with it.

Lucky bugger, hoped you enjoyed Ddj 1000 to the fullest! 👍

Great review Jamie. I like your objective and fresh kind of reviews a lot! In my opinion the best in the market (worth a lot because its coming from a German ;-) ) I've ordered my DDJ-1000 yesterday - it will hopefully arrive next Monday. Sold my RZ last week, immediately after the press release from Pio. regarding the new DDJ. Used my RZ in conjunction with a NXS2 setup (RZ for training purposes on a different location) and imho this new combo (DDJ-1000 / NXS2) setup will satisfied my needs much more than the old combo. And finally: an unbeatable price. Concerning software - I used all of them: Traktor (outdated), Serato (more or less equal to RB), Prime (very buggy , unstable and 2 years behind the leaders) RB (actually the fastest evolving DJ-software on the market with plenty of unique/good features, could be a bit more stable)

Love your reviews. I'm getting one tomorrow. Bought the ddj rx last week the day after I bought it I found out about this. Needless to say that I sent the rx back to get this. Super excited to get my mitts on it

I was awaiting for a video like this. Thanks for sharing with us. You just helped to choose which controller to choose. There is no brainier this is going to be one of the best controller on the market with such a good price. Keep doing a good work 👌

I have just spent a week researching whether to buy the rx or the rz. I saw this controller in suggested vids and thought it was around 3,000 usd. Once I saw the price, and features I immediately bought the 1000. Best controller, closest to cdjs, and lowest price. Hands down, the best by pioneer

Great presentation. You are a man in the right place. Thank you

great review. answered all the questions i had even the price range in compression to the other controllers by pioneer

You're a great presenter, mate. I was deciding between RZX & 1000 and your video helped tremendously.

Really amazing unit, I love It! I think options to customize the jog wheels displays would be the icing on the cake. For example if they could make the other decks beatgrid appear each side like cdjs do, option to hide the bpm, zoom into waveform.... etc. At the moment you can hide the hot cue, artwork and adjust brightness thats it. Aside that i would fully rate this controller it's excellent.

Bought an RX last year so will definitely be chopping that in for this. Great video mate....and nice one for getting one before everyone else.

Thanks for the review. One thing I was Pioneer did was keep the effects consistent across their mixers.

I am not a big fun of dj controllers (more prefer CDJ or the standalone XDJ range) but this looks very interesting to me so will give a try and see if the DDJ 1000 is any better than my RX2 (or RX1).

Personally think this is a statement of intent from Pioneer, This really is a great piece of kit and when i heard the price i was very surprised. I really think Denon have rattled their cage a little and we are going to see some healthy competition in the future which in turn is going to be passed down to the customer in the form of lower prices.

After buying the 1000, and owning the RZ, I can sort of agree, but they are different animals. The RZ really opens up everything in Rekordbox, with the 1000 its a bit more work to get deep into the software, specifically the easy search functions, gridding functions on the fly, and effects parameters. The jogs feel ok on the 1000, but IMO the RZ feels way better. Much more solid feeling. The 1000 does have the best crossfader I have felt in Pioneer gear, but I feel the jogs are closer to the XDJ line not the Nexxus line.

OMG this is a sick controller I can't wait to get one. I did not want to pay for the DDJ sz2 but wanted a controller and had 2 sound cards for when my friend and I are djing.

If only Pioneer would make a hybrid of the XDJ-RX2 and the DDJ-1000! That would be the ultimate game changer for the home/bar/wedding setup. The DDJ-1000 would be perfect if it supported USB's, needle search/wave form option via 7" screen, vinyl speed adjust, release/start. Send/receive and Rec Out on a controller would be nice. Price tag of £1799 and they will not be able to make them fast enough!

It looks like a fantastic controller for those who want more than an SX but aren't willing to buy/carry a SZ around, however I'll only be investing in one if it's supported by 3rd party software providers, I'm still not convinced that RB is quite there.

2 7” screens for browsing tracks, 2 USB type A slots for a thumb drive and not having to use my laptop with this exact design... I’d happily pay 1000 more. Kind of feel pioneer failed on that one... But this is the current best mimic of an actual club set up without the 6k price tag.So I’ll roll the dice lol

I use Serato and Rekordbox religiously. Both strong pieces of software. Rekordbox has been really stable for me recently. I prefer DVS with Serato still but rekordbox DVS still works well. Just a personal preference. I feel like rekordbox is closer to a hybrid of traktor and VDJ visually whereas Serato has a really clean simplicity to it. Again personal opinions... you can perform just as well with either software but this is definitely an exciting product from Pioneer. This would be perfect for any regular CDJ users thinking about a controller.

I got mine all setup this morning, I am a beginner but I can tell that this deck is quality, I already feel like a better dj.. the thing is bad ass

I'm very torn now between this controller and the DDJ-RX. I've played around with the Serato variant of the DDJ-RX and love it. But now I feel like I should spend some time with the DDJ-1000 to see if that would change my mind.

I'm thinking of Buying the Rekordbox version of this as I'm visually Impaired and am about to start getting gigs so I want something exactly like this because It's cheaper than CDJs and It will help me get the layout a lot easier especially in dark environments!!!!

It looks like a great unit. I'm wondering is there any hidden cost saving in this unit? Is the sound quality of the mixer decent? Is the headphone output nice and loud?

I am absolutely in love with this controller. It's a few hundred dollars more than the SX2 I have already. But the fact that it features REAL cdj jogs (mechanical one's), is a huge plus for me as I love the feel of CDJs. The price is a huge statement by pioneer. They could have easily charged $1799 for this controller or more as the RZ is way more than the ddj 1000.

I'm either gonna get this or the 1000SRT for Serato. I've used Serato for years, and it's what I'm most comfortable using. However, it seems like the 1000 for Rekordbox is a better controller in certain ways. Plus, it'll make me more familiar with the CDJ software at clubs. Do you think that it would be a wise decision to make the switch to Rekordbox? And if so, how hard would it be to get used to? I'm definitely getting one or the other. Thank you, I hope to hear from you soon!
