What should I start with?

In terms of playing out at venues I dont think i have ever seen any local DJ's use hot cues. Only pro's.

It's pretty much useless because unless you have cdj 1000's at home with sd cards to save them pre-gig.

With that being said you would hardly use it even with mobile gigs. If i was you the fact that the 1000's have hot cues would not influence my decision.

I live for and love hot cues on my 1000s and have never ever saved any. I dont even have the crappy cards to do this on. Always set on the fly or you run the risk of always doing the same mix and thus losing your creativity.

...that said i kinda like the way traktor saves them automatically but I often delete them anwyay to reset them on the fly.

each to their own tho.

Also is there any news of pioneer releasing a new range of CDJ's in the near future?

nah i doubt we will be seeing anything new for a while, and even if they release stuff it will be low end, possible a new mini platter CDJ to over take the 350, seeing as the 2000's 900's and 850's are all still very new i think we are at least 2 years away from a release to overtake them

Okay sweet

So I won't bother waiting to get a newer product

Thanks!

you could be waiting a while for something worse then 900's so nah not worth waiting...only reason worth waiting for be for a better deal or for 900's to get cheaper lol
