Cdj 900 vs 2000 software#

If we decide to use the USB playback option, then it is better to use the Rekordbox software that was included with the CDJ-900 as a music file management system.

If we are using time-coded CDвЂ™s with an external soundcard for playback, then the CDJ-900 is connected per the soundcard device specifications (i.e. If we are using the CDJ-900 for MIDI playback (mapping coming soon for Traktor/Serato/Etc.) then we must still use the RCA cables for mixer hookup, but the library and audio playback will come from the Computer via USB-A to USB-B cable. If you are playing regular CDвЂ™s and using the CD slot or the USB slot for USB device playback on the CDJ-900, then the hookup is simply plugging the RCA cable from the deck into the assigned channel line input on the mixer. The only things that will change depend on the type of way you are connecting the CDJ-900 into your setup. The setup of the Pioneer CDJ-900 was just as it is with any other tabletop CD type of deck. The Touch Sensitive Jog Wheel is in the center for easy manipulation and the top is ribbed for easy grip and traction. All of the main functional playback buttons are VERY solid and most of them are of metal construction, while the smaller buttons (for loops and cueing) are a hard durable plastic. There is a USB port mounted to the top of the deck for easy Flash drive/Hard drive playback. The size of the unit seems to be about the same as previous CDJ decks but slightly bigger than the older CDJ-800s. This display screen is angled towards the user and is very easy to read and work with. The big display area found on the Pioneer CDJ-900 is made to look like one huge LED screen, but in reality it is two smaller screens sharing a big viewing area. The jog wheel is made of a plastic polymer material with the outer edge being coated in a rubbery type of material, while the top is made of a harder ribbed plastic. Just as with all the other rugged Pioneer CDJ decks, the CDJ-900 follows suit with a hard plastic/polymer type of surrounding or encasing. Right out of the box, the CDJ-900 is built with a high quality finish and strong durable casing. The CDJ-900 enables playback of MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF audio files on CD and USB memory devices. For review purposes, the CDJ-2000 shares many of the same attributes and functions of the CDJ-900 therefore the reviews will be almost identical with the CDJ-2000 review having a bit more information pertaining to the additional features that the CDJ-2000 possesses.

Pioneer claims that the CDJ-900 is just one step below their flagship deck the CDJ-2000 and provides most of the same basic functionality but without some of the extra bells and whistles other DJвЂ™s may not be able to live without.

The new Pioneer CDJ-900 is one of their newest decks on the market that is advertised as a mix between the previous CDJ offerings, the CDJ-800mk2 and the CDJ-1000mk3. Fast forward to 2010 and Pioneer is still providing DJвЂ™s with club standard CDJ decks that promise to put the competition to shame.
