Finally, Pioneer gets into the controller market. The new CDJ-2000 retains the look and feel of the CDJ-1000, while adding a slew of laptop-dj features. The included RecordBox software helps you manage your music library, create loops, assign hot cues, and add artwork.It will function as a standard CD player, but it also has native support for Ableton Live, SSL, Traktor, and Virtual DJ. Bring your laptop- or not. If the majority of clubs adopt the CDJ-2000, the DJs can organize their sets elsewhere, then walk into the club with a simple USB memory stick. A 24-bit sound card keeps the sound of this unit top quality.
The only bad news is the $2150.00 each price tag- two of these and a complementary mixer is going to punch through $5000.00 quickly.
Probably the biggest news here is that with the CDJ-2000 you have most of the features laptop DJs enjoy, without the laptop. That, and the unit is simple enough to navigate while drunk.
