I thought, Pioneer would never release a Serato Version from DDJ 1000! But today is the day 🎉😍 Thank you Pioneer, that you don’t forget the Serato user 🙌

At first they were NOT in the mood to argue anything regarding Serato, because of their own RekordBox idea. But since the majority of their buyers prefer Serato over RekordBox, they sort of went overboard and managed to get a working Serato version for us all. Since I love Serato DJ over everything, I'm very pleased with this and now I have a goal to save up money again at a decent price. Of course I'm a super fan of Denon DJ's Prime series, but that's out of my league in the short run.

@@joegrayston3779 Well, it depends then in what genre you are mixing. In my scene (techno, tech house etc) I know no one that prefers RekordBox. And I know a whole bunch of prof DJ's in the scene ;)
For those mentioning the fingerprints, here's what I've learned. Open up your laptop and turn it on, turn on the controller, then immediately go wash your hands with Dawn dish detergent. Then don't touch anything until you get to your controller and then only touch the controller. It will lessen the fingerprints by about 75%. Afterward, with a microfiber cloth, give it a quick wipe down, and it will be good as new every time.
I just ordered the srt1000 and have been looking at other video tutorials to see the features/changes in comparison to the SX2, which I currently am using. YOUR video is hands down the BEST and MOST DETAILED explanation of the buttons and functionality of this controller. Hats off to you for an EXCELLENT demo, I just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work brother. 🔥👊

i did watching 10 plus videos about this controller but this one is the best full review and explanation about the features. thank you for help me understand about my next gear.
This is awesome. Crossfader always ahead of the pack with their reviews!
I am your biggest fan from India. Being following you since past few years. Your Tips have made DJing easy for me. The Videos which you make are just so helpful. Thank You so much Team Crossfader and Jamie Hartley. You have been doing a great job and amazing tutorial and product information videos.
This was an amazing review, thank you so much. I was having a lot of doubts about this controller but you pretty much put my mind at ease. Now to sell my SZ and break the piggy bank to get this one.
The amount of times my jaw dropped watching this is insane! Amazing review and never knew half of what I could do in Serato
Really love this video and how you explained what everything does. You basically gave an intro DJ lesson! lol

That was a very good and fair Review of the Pioneer DDj 1000 SRT especially from a professional and a Serato Dj perspective. Pioneer and Serato working together again is fantastic news. Now I am waiting to see if they will add a Screen like the Denon prime 4 or similar to the Pioneer RX2 for Serato..
Just loved this new product from Pioneer. I wish to get hands on this Beauty soon. Your biggest fan from India.
Great review @Crossfader 👍 Finally a version for Serato. I tried the Rekordbox version, but the RB software sucked, so i returned it. This is a great controller by far. -Mike Beats
Wonderful in-depth review and demo. Thank you for putting in the time to make this video, I understand how long it takes to put these together so I'm very appreciative. New sub! Thanks again.

II'm a 44 year old vinyl dj. Been mixing since 93. When I switched to Serato about 13 years ago, I thought I had doors opening for me.. but the DDJ 1000 SRT really opens up the imagination. Two dudes can play the same set, and they come out totally different. Thank you for going thru the control surfaces. If not, I prolly wouldn't have purchased the DDJ 1000 SRT!!! Much props yo! It seemed like there was a lot going on at first, but there really isn't. It's all about the DJ! Thanks man!

I wouldnt, SX series has full control over Serato's fx and expansion packs. DDJ 1000 doesnt. And the platters feel waay better on the SX as well, albeit smaller, but better. And you have physical crossfader control on the SX as well. I cant see SX users switching to a DDJ 1000 and liking it better
@benwilliams9738

T K that is a valid point, if you use FX a lot this may be a dealbreaker and not be the best controller for you. However the on board mixer FX are great and they’re post fader. I don’t overuse the FX to be honest so I can live with just using the standard on board ones. Im also used to not having control of them when im djing using the nexus 2000 setups in clubs. In my opinion the platters are better than the touch sensitive SX platters, the CDj platters gives you that real vinyl feeling with the jog wheel adjust which is a major selling point but that’s my humble opinion it is really down to which you prefer.

If it had the serato effects buttons it would be perfect but you showing how to midi map those to commonly unused buttons made up for it 🙌🏿🙌🏿
Deliberated long and hard over buying. I tried the FLX6 first and although cool.. was nothing on this. So many awesome features, excellent build quality and the Pitch'n Time keysync feature makes every mix sound perfect. Highly recommended if you have the cash.
Just pre ordered mine today!
Awsome one this time they released. So pretty one. I'm so crazy about this ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the review, I used it to make my mind cuz of this review👍🏼 Good job,
We have Denon DJ and the In-Music Group (owners of Denon DJ, Numark, Rane DJ, Alto Professional, Akai etc) in general to thank for making Pioneer DJ release a Serato version of DDJ 1000 cause Denon DJ and In-Music Group has been in the news lately for releasing solid DJ gear so not to be left out Pioneer DJ needed to do something to win the hearts of DJs hence the release of the DDJ 1000 SRT. But I ain't complaining tho. Thank you Pioneer DJ, I will be purchasing one ASAP
Thanks for the teaching class I now understand how to set up my controller
I bought an sx3 8 months ago, but I will definitely sell it and buy this one, great video thanks and very complete explanation

Awesome review and very informative. I have been seeking a Serato upgrade from the SB3 and will likely source the above.
Very good in-depth review!

Jamie, thank for the detailed review. I just picked up the 1000 SRT. It’s a fantastic controller, just a few things I wish were different. I’m using a PS1 (which I already owned) for better loop control and access to the Serato effects. I wish the Serato effects were post fader. I also wish it had a dedicated, external, front knob for the crossover curve. I tried dedicating a button but only a few knobs are eligible (eq, scroll, color effects etc). I wish the information on the jog wheels was selectable, wave forms, position of queues in the track and key would have been nice. Overall it’s a great controller, with a familiar feel. I’m going to sell the Nexus 2 setup (CDJ, DJM, DJS) which I used with Serato HID. Might as well get 70% of my purchase price today before Pioneer releases the Nexus 3, with pads and the value drops drastically.

I have been waiting for an SZ3 for like 3 years now and I'm starting to think it's not happening. Guess I'm going to have to fall back to this guy. The white and silver one is dirty.

Thank you so much for all the great reviews! I really like the jog wheels and the crossfader on this controller because I'd like to incorporate scratches to my mixes, but the fact that it doesn't have total kill EQ makes it difficult for me to chose between this one and the DDJ-SX3. Any recommendations?
Man that awesome!!
Great Video!
thank you for this
Wow, nice controller!!!
As always, very thorough review Jamie! Curious if there is a split cue option for headphones on this controller through SeratoDJ?
I got one for my birthday today and this vid is very informative. Can you do one with tricks and tips?
About Damn Time
Damn! This was a Surprise, Now I will have to sell my SX3 which Still got one year warranty left
I would like to see pioneer make a controller like this but with a S9 mixer that would be cool 😎
About time !!!!!
That's a nice beat!
I like the jog display is much cleaner than the original DDJ-1000. btw, support its coming soon for VirtualDJ users too.

Why would you do that? The XDJ-RX2 is only 2 channels, without even any deck select. The ONLY way the XDJ is better is it’s a standalone unit so it can play from a USB and doesn’t require DJ software. If you’re using software, then this, the SZ2 & SX3 are better than the XDJ in literally every other way.
Very nice unit

very useful thank you
No wave forms in the Jog Wheels, you can't access serato effects from this controller. No flip controls. I prefer rekkordbox, you can use pad effects to use the effects of Rekordbox on the controller in edition to the hardware effects.
