XDJ RX3 or 2nd hand CDJS (2000nxs)

Im really stuck between just going straight out and getting a new rx3 or getting a older set of cdjs. My main focus is to practice more at home and confidently translate that to a club. Ive played clubs a few times but id like to get a lot more comfortable up there. I found a pair of CDJ 2000nxs for $3100 AUD (no mixer). Just trying to find a mixer. Do you think i should go ahead with the older cdjs or just go for the new rx3? I have a set this weekend so hoping to get some practice in before then!

When your Pioneer DJ setup fails, will you know what to do?

I’ve been talking with a few DJs recently about the technical problems that tend to show up at the worst possible moment.

USB exports, missing tracks, corrupt databases, CDJ compatibility, firmware issues, file formats, unexpected Rekordbox errors, etc.

There seems to be a huge amount of information scattered around, but I’m curious:

What’s the Rekordbox or Pioneer DJ problem you wish someone had warned you about BEFORE you got to a gig? Could be something obvious in hindsight, or something that took you hours to figure out.

Cheers,

My DDJ-FLX4 keep disconnecting from rekordbox

I'll be practicing and it will randomly disconnect. Is there some special type of cord I can get to keep this from happening? The cord does not even come out.

Get an XDJ-RR or an iPad Pro for my FLX4?

I've owned an XDJ-RR before and really liked it, but had to sell it when I moved countries.

Later got an FLX4, which works great with my laptop, but I don't really want to bring my laptop to gigs.

The problem is that with the recent Apple price increases a new iPad Pro is now roughly the same price as buying an XDJ-RR 😵‍💫

My mixing is pretty straightforward and I don't need a ton of advanced features. Portability and a simple, reliable setup are more important.

Tracks suddenly breaking? Help!!

Hi everyone, yesterday I wanted to play some schranz, when suddenly my beatmatch was completely off. I realized that my waveforms were broken and some of the tracks stuttered, after which the grid was completely off (see the top waveform in the picture, the grid is perfectly on beat on the left, then the next kick just happens half a beat earlier and after that the grid is off). These are tracks I had already curated and grid aligned back when I made the playlist (so the grid has been perfectly on every beat before). The only thing I had changed in my settings was the buffer size when I threw a houseparty last week so that my fader cuts wouldnt be slightly off beat. Nothing suspicious happened there, it just started appearing yesterday. I already tried changing the sample rate, buffer size back to 8ms, upgraded rekordbox, re-analyzed the track, nothing helped.

How Videographers can connect to your controller to record MIC audio

Hello everyone,
I have done about a dozen weddings now but at two of them, videographers have told me something I can't recall , for me to have that would help them record mic audio better.

Maybe it was a certain type of mic or cable?

I have a Pioneer DDJ-1000 (not SRT) and this image is the exact rear of it.
The ports that I will NOT have free (from left to right) are:
- R & L Master1 XLR inputs (for my JBL party speakers)
- USB-A A port (to connect controller to laptop)
- Mic2 BALANCED port (connecting my TONOR Wireless Mic Receiver)
- DC IN 12v (to power the controller)

Does anyone know a good wireless mic that would work for me to speak through, as well for the videographers to record easily from? Or is there a cable I can buy that will allow the videographers to connect to an external audio output device?

Any of the ports I am using, could they be repurposed?

For the TONOR receiver, the only ports free are Balanced XLR Outputs for Channel B/A (the two wireless mics) so I doubt they could connect to that. I would assume they need to connect somewhere on the controller and not to my laptop, since Rekordbox would not record the mic unless they're able to record the master output.

What I have seen and worked with before is that they would attach a small mic onto the handheld wireless microphone I provided, then would record audio straight to their small mic.

Please and thank you! I need to figure this out by Mid September, so I have a month.
appreciate y'all reading this

Rx3 or cdj 2000nxs2

so I got a really interesting opportunity for me, I already own an RX3 and love it, but I got an opportunity to buy two CD J 2000 Nexus twos and a 900 Nexus two mixer for great price. Is it worth getting that and selling my RX3? Would I be losing any features?

Jog wheel XDJ 1000 MK2

So I bought these in May and have used them maybe five or six times. Today they were sitting on my table. I unplugged them and just started messing with them and realized the right side doesn’t spin as long as the left there is also this weird sound coming from the right side is it because it’s tighter and I’m pushing it too hard or could it be an internal issue? I opened them both up, and the tension was on the same level. Is this a normal thing with new models in general? I understand that XDJs are a bit more springy and you can’t control the tension from the outside, but has anyone else experienced this? I also have a warranty on them.

New to CDJs

Amateur bedroom DJ here, picked up my first set of CDJs for dirt cheap ($80 for the set). Really old CDJ1000 MK1s. They function pretty nice, just had to clean the dust off.

My question I have to the experienced users is; outside of obviously burning a crapload of CDs, am I able to connect them to Serato still using the Serato Timecode CD? And does it matter what Mixer I use to do it? (I have the DJM 350 mixer)
