[boostedVT]

Hi fellas

Can someone tell me the major differences between the 2 mixers. I had a look online and i struggled to find any.

If anyone could even post a personal experience with either mixer that would be great.

[Cupe]

Both have Quantized features

Both have built in sound cards and can record directly to software

DJM-2000 has 6 LAN connections on back of mixer

DJM-900 has 1 LAN connection and requires an ethernet switch to connect multiple units and access a computer running Rekordbox

DJM-900 has 6 Sound Color Effects that have a hi-pass and low-pass control with 1 knob

DJM-2000 has 6 INST FX that uses 2 knobs to control effect

DJM-900 has X-pad (touch effects pad)

DJM-2000 has 6.5" touchscreen that can control MIDI loops in software, allows for 7 channel cross fader

DJM-900 has 13 beat effects on the right side

DJM-2000 has 11 effects in the top center and has hi, mid, and low control on the effect

Thanks heaps bud. Very helpful info.

Now for what its worth, which one is best value for money?

Only using it to stuff around at home.

[Mitch]

They are both overkill for 'mucking around' at home.

You could go a DJM 700/750 and be fine.

As for between the 900 and 2k, the 900 will be more than adequate

[boostedVT]

Yeah i know. I just hate buying stuff and then 6 mths later something better is out. I just want something that is expandable and future proof for a few yrs.

I personally love the djm 800.

There pretty cheap now and you cant beat dedicated filters.

[boostedVT]

After looking at the reviews i am leaning towards the djm2000.

[SolDios]

I really personally dont like the djm2000 much, too big and the effects section is un-necessarily complicated. also having high pass and low pass on different buttons is frustrating to me.

[GREMM1S]

In the simplest terms the djm 2000 essentially has an efx 1000 level set of effects built in.

Considering it costs more than the 900 and 900/800's are club standard there is no real reason to get a 2000 unless you are after more effects.

[GREMM1S]

The 2000 is super fun to play on though, the effects are great.

If i had the coin i would probably get one.

[boostedVT]

Thats the thing i want something for the effects. And by the sounds of things djm 2000 is the way for maximum effects!

[russell]

you should look at the allen & heath DB4

[boostedVT]

What are they like terms of quality compared to the pioneer

[russell]

equal if not better.

[russell]

better in my personal opinion.

[boostedVT]

Hrrm interesting. I had never herd of them before. What type of price point do they have?

[Mitch]

A&h are top notch. Just not used as much as pioneer in aus

[russell]

Allen & Heath x:one series are my favourite mixers... analogue so the vinyl sounds lovely.

DB series are digital mixers with effects. The DB4 looks seriously awesome. I don't use effects enough to merit it though.

X:one 92 for me some time int he near future.

[GREMM1S]

A&h sneaking into a pioneer thread again i see.

[OxyKon]

I quite like the 900's, the radio station i play at has one, cant really make a real case for the 2000 though, it looks really cool, but until i get a chance to play around with 1, yeah

[GREMM1S]

Yeah they are nice, as far as i have seen though not worth an upgrade from an 800.
