This is why Mojaxx is currently the best reviewer out there IMO: New shiny DJ stuff, like Pioneer DJ's DDJ-1000SRT, comes out and literally, every DJ vlog is struggling over each other to be the first with a "review", typically based on only a few hours of inhouse fumbling with the equipment. Not so much for this channel. Mojaxx will typically only do a first impression and then test it out for months in a live club environment. Which results in stand-out excellent reviews that provide in-depth product feedback details, which you simply cannot find on any other DJ channel. Keep up the good work!

I have had mine for a few days now......This thing is a BEAST!!!

I really like how the Serato virtual decks extend to the jog wheels on the hardware. Super clean.

Yes! I saw the leaked pictures on Reddit! So glad to know that it's very real!!! Too bad about the standard Fx Layout that all serato DJ controllers had. But I imagine it won't be a huge loss for those who are used to using the Mixer's FX.

Not really. I have my MC 7000 just over 3 years now and I'm still excited about what Denon built here. Solid as a tank and full of features. As I see it, Pioneer has taken with the DDJ 1000 SRT only something old and re-packaged it, associated with advertising :-) So you get the warehouse empty ;-) If the jog wheels are not important or various effects from Pioneer or the Mag.Fader, then not worth an upgrade! An innofader in the MC 7000 and the job is done :). What brings me the Serato Suite with all the Serato effects, if I can not control them with the controller. Also missing is the needle search. a really good feature... When you buy a MC 7000 you also get 3 serato packs for your money. The price performance ratio is not right for the DDJ 1000 SRT. Pioneer just sells old technology :-)

I like using mine with Rekordbox, I thought it would be hard transitioning from Serato to Rekordbox..NOPE!!!

Other than the annoying issues (sometimes) with properly analyzing songs I absolutely stand behind rekordbox and am happy with my DDJ-1000. Glad the serato guys get a chance to use one of the best controllers on the market although the rekordbox version is a little better.

No doubt. The BEST reviewer.

Bro, you're just A BEAST in this industry. Been a big fan of yours for years so thanks for this info. I got my DDJ-1000 back in early 2018 and I LOVE IT....EXCEPT....well, I didn't like the fact that Rekordbox was not compatible with my external hard drive (Mac OS formatted) so I had to get my music to a FAT32 formatted hard drive. That shit sucked! Anyway, I hope that my Mac OS hard drive can be read by this one since its using Serato DJ Pro software - if so, then I'll retire my "Ole Bessy" - my DDJ-SX2. She's been my best controller and held me down for soooo lonnnggg. Lastly - you know what would be GREAT??!! If..."SRT" actually means...."Serato...Rekordbox...Traktor". This thing would KILL THE GAME if all platforms could play on it. But for now, I'm just gonna stick with my DDJ-1000 and my Traktor S5. Great review mate! Peace ✌🏿🎶

There really needs to be a Pioneer DDJ-800SRT for those of us who use Serato and have no use for 4 channels, I do not want to pay the extra money for 2 channels I would never use and the extra size 4 channels require does not appeal as it makes the unit less portable. If Pioneer can make a 1000SRT it probably would not be difficult to produce the 800 Serato version and offer a wider product range.

Pioneer still need ot sort the load button feature and the noise effect common simple stuff... Otherwise a usual Mojax amazing and relevant review!!

Great piece of kit, for me it's only draw back is the Centre display, once again not being full size, to show wave form, maybe pioneer should think about doing away with it and opting for a separate larger plug in display as an add on feature if you did that then HEY ! You,ve GOT ME DUDE 👍🏽

Mo, thanks for the comprehensive review. I just spent a few hours on my newly purchased SRT and it’s really quite nice. The hardware mixer enables minimal cpu hit, so I can run ableton in the same laptop with no hiccups in sync. I do have a question. On the SC5000 prime models you could run slicer loop mode with no actively playing track (meaning I have a selected loop but the track is not playing) and each “slice” could be triggered intermittently. I used that mode constantly to fly through remixes. This box will only trigger sounds when the selected loop is playing. Do you know of a setting, hack or update pending which could address this? It seems small, but I really loved this feature on the Denon rig. Thanks in advance!

Maaaaybe if you have customizable padding on the case with a shelf for they are slightly over sized but so is the 1000 .

I think the DJ world needs a DDJ-800SRT to cater for Serato users, if Pioneer can produce the DDJ-1000SRT the software exists to use on the DDJ-800 and give a wider choice to Serato users, I have nothing against Rekordbox but I am used to Serato and want to stay with it but get the benefits of the on Jog displays and the full size tempo fader etc but I have no need for 4 channels, 2 is all I need.

Pioneer should really release a firmware for the RB DDJ1000 that will allow you to use it with Serato if you have the "club kit". That way serato gets its cut and the rest of us have a choice. I love RB, but I've got a pair of RP1000MK2 that I'd like to use to their full extent with serato and the DDJ1000

No Artwork! I never owned a controller before and contemplated briefly about this until I heard Mojaxx say you can't see artwork displayed on each jog wheel center display. I'm a bit old-school because I still pick tracks like pulling sleeves in a crate of records or CD box but using Serato by looking at the artwork. Doing this method of visual selection I feel each song by seeing it and pick it much quicker than reading text in any crate. Since I'm a visual selector using a computer is still fine for display needs and I'll stick to DVS for the feel and control. Serato & Pioneer didn't go all the way with these DDJ-1000SRT. Maybe next time they'll figure it out or a firmware update...

ONLY do that if you're controller user only, and always bring your own controller to your gigs. The jog wheels are very different free spinning things that are so different from Pioneers jog wheels that I doubt I will ever be able to use them properly. There's a bunch of stuff not working properly/satisfying, Serato use still one of them, so bringing this to an important gig is out of question. Garden party with your friends at most. If they work out all software kinks 'n' bugs, and get the Engine Prime to work properly, in time it can be a great DJ tool. Unfortunately if you are thinking of it as a pro tool now, it is not. I will keep mine for a few more weeks to learn what I can, because the manual doesn't cover all of it, for possible future needs. First impressions were so bad that I haven't even looked at it for a week... It is a complicated power house, not an intuitive precision tool. I sold my 6 year old CDJ-2000 Nexus to cover the cost for buying this unit, because I needed something cheaper and easy to set up when my NXS2 setup is way overkill. I'll probably get myself a XDJ-700/DJM-450 combo instead. A little more expensive, less features, but still all I need and I know it will work just as expected. Denon DO work hard to get this unit up to peoples expectations and they reached out to me after posting on the P 4 forum. That is unusual and shows their interest, so in time... If that's good enough for you, and you have the time, get one.

I set my cue points on the fly where I need them to be song for song all depending on how I'm going to mix in/out the tracks. For that I depend on the stutter when NOT in vinyl mode and it's not there, making it impossible to hear where the first frame is when there's a lot of sounds around that beat in a noisy club environment, even using my headphones. I come from 10 years of using real vinyl in the 80's 90's. Vinyl mode has nothing to do with playing real vinyl and is just an effect mode for me. The first 8 years with CD's there were no vinyl mode, and even then it took a few years before I could afford a set of players that had that and by then CDJ mode is what I use.

Hey, that looks kind of nice! I am left wondering: "what will be the street price?" Nonetheless, and I do not write this rhyme as click bait. No disrespect to you Mojaxx, I am not here to hate. Yet how can I not take notice of this auspicious audio equipment mnemonic date? I write this 13 hours after your video uploaded, from the vantage of UTC 2019-08-08. I wonder if this is a sincere improvement over competitors such as the Roland DJ-808? Albeit, an integrated vocoder and classic drum machine? May be beyond what many want in a controller that is lean!

Warning, this device has a design flaw by Pioneer. The two headphone inputs, rest on the edge which immediately faces the DJ’s hip or waist (as well as other bodies) which move past the plug, risking bending or breakage. I personally feel the headphone inputs should of been placed by Pioneer on either the controller’s top or rear. The edge which faces the DJ should be smooth, as a busy DJ shouldn’t worry about constantly banging and bumping the headphone plug. Expect damage to both your headphone plug and input socket, if you plan on using this device, regularly. On occasion, I’ll bump the headphone jack and the entire controller slides!

@@doctormasterdevil There is a few key functions that has been on all pro DJ gear since the first CDJ's showed up in 1993. One of them is CDJ-mode, where you hear a stutter, frame by frame. Makes it easy, even in a noisy environment to always set the cue point on the fly on the exact same frame every time. This has been the same on all Denon and Pioneer gear, and most other brands too. Last time I used a Denon was 6-7 years ago, the DN-1200, and since then it's all been Pioneer. But, if I get the expected basics I'm used to, I can perform. For some reason Denon only provided Vinyl mode and one half ass vinyl mode that turns off the touch on the platter but still pauses the music silent, just as in vinyl mode, without stutter. Utterly stupid! That alone makes this unit a brick for me. I could learn or get used to most of all the other stuff, but not that. The DN-1200's were not very good players, but I'd rather use them and burn CD's for my next gig than use the Prime 4.

Of course, or they would die, and when SERATO comes with new software functions, the SERATO community will scream for a new controller where you have hardware buttons for it :) . Some will complain because they just got the other version, some because they think there's already too many to choose from and some will always complain about how long they had to wait for the new one :D .

@@dj-peterofficial2753 I highly doubt they will die.(the pioneer brand,that is)Look at TECHNICS,those TURNTABLES were built like tanks.(they were around for decades)I have the very same ones since the early 80s.(No problems)They will out live me.I think you miss my point.Its just a money thing.Just like the I-phone.(with all the upgrades)very unnecessary.But hey,to each their own.All I need is two TURNTABLES,a decent mixer,some ORTOFONs',and some freshly pressed VINYL and I'm good to go.And I'm still getting paid, cause Rick said so.I'm just a purist,(None of this digital stuff,means anything to me)which makes me the minority.And before anyone wants to troll or diss me.Do you! and I'll do me,in other words,Just rock the crowd and have fun!.peace..✌

@@jonathanvillalobos7994 The company is what I talk about :) . As all company's in the world, everything they do is for money of course. They have 1000's of employees who want to get their money every month and keep their job and not get laid off. I have worked for a company who'd been in business for 50 years and the 2 years I was there were 2 of the best years in that company's history. A year after I quit for military duty, the company was bankrupt and all the employees had lost their jobs... Their products still live and will for many years to come, but the projects I was involved with was the last that company ever made. To seek every possible way to make money and to have long term satisfied customers is the duty of every company board. For the owners, the employees and the customers sake. Something to celebrate, in my opinion. I have been a Pioneer gear user since the start in 1994, and have been very satisfied with every product since. Depending how much I 've been playing I've had to go for what my wallet allow me to, but everything I've invested in still works today. I haven't changed that much in the basics of how I play since the time I played vinyl, just added a few trick new tech allows for. I'm not a purist, but I do appreciate when the mixing is done clean and the music is the highlight of a DJ's work, not the mixing itself. You can see that on my channel :) . The live ones are really boring to watch unless you know what I'm really doing, because if you can't hear it, I'm very happy. Perhaps I am a kind of purist, ha ha.

I’ll stick with my Numark NS7 III

Pioneer DJ is at it’s end of it’s club standard. This is desperate. On the sale and still trying to sell the old one?

SRT is overrated

Pioneer is over - they sold of 'DJ and you can see why. Plastic poor quality with poor sound, no innovation and Denon - oh dayum Denon - pro kit is legit half price and twice better. Lets move on like we did from techs. What keeps us current is not falling into that old trap of sticking with inferior gear. It's time.

I have the Prime 4... What a waste of money. I really believed they'd done something useful this time, and after waiting 6 month, I get a piece of half done, buggy, shitty interface where I have more info on a 10 year old CDJ-2000 screen, and 3 times as much useful info on a 7'' RX2 screen than on this. Not to mention the free spinning jog wheel and non existing CDJ mode, no RGB wave forms and commands for changing view you have too search on KZread to find. Engine Prime has a horrible workflow and seeing all the daily problems owners have on the P 4 forum increases by the day. I make my living in the DJ Booth, and I haven't seen a single Denon device in any venue or club yet, except for when my friend and Denon rep brings his own gear. The only good thing I can say about Denon is that they really are working hard to get things right, and they do reach out to people in the forums that have problems to see what's possible to fix and what to prioritize. Have you seen Pioneer lowering prices or get competing gear out in a hurry? Nope, and this is why. If you come from a crappy controller to the Prime 4, you're in heaven, I'm sure. If you are an every-day-user of club-standard gear with a tight workflow and 100% rely on working gear, you're in hell. About quality and layout, the Prime 4 almost got broken the first minute I had it, just another big sigh. All the pioneer gear I have since the mid 90's work just perfect, and yeah, the DJM-300 don't have the best sound quality. It's actually really bad... but from the DJM-800 to my NXS2 there's pretty good to fantastic sound, and there's other parts of most sound systems that is way worse. About lowering the price... Short term fantastic for new customers, long term disaster for existing customers. Having a firm price policy is the only way to get satisfied long term customers. That's why I could finance my P 4 by selling my 6 year old CDJ-2000 Nexus's. If the gear doesn't hold it's value over the time the average user has it, no one's gonna buy it unless they're gonna keep it forever. I'm already worried that Denon is going to drastically lower the price on the P 4, so I'm in a hurry to sell it. Interested?

Still looks like a kids toy
