People keep going on about how the cdj 1000 is the best how it's industry standard? But I thought you guys said the 900 was the bench line.

Even the 850 seems better than the 1000 (accept for the slower wave form processing)

So whats the deal? I have seen quite a few cdj 1000's displayed in clubs around adealade :S

yeah 1000s became industry standard over technics in the mid/late 90's. The reason isnt so much about what they do as how well they are built. Club owners just want units that wont break down.

It's also coz they are so well built that many clubs havent needed to replace them with the new units such as the 2000 or 900 yet. Thats why the 1000 ares till v common in clubs.

personally i dont think the 2000s are.

they dont feel as well built as 1000s.

I didnt even think 1000MKIII felt as well built as MKIIs

At the end of the day the definition of "industry standard" is simply " the one most people in the industry use" so until all the old 1000s in clubs breakdown it is unlikely that anything will take their position.

Travelling DJs and big acts such as guetta and tiesto will be touring with the new gear coz pioneer supply them for promo purposes. Normal clubs just want something reliable that doesnt need replacing.

I sense someone is changing their mind again.

CDJ1000's were what most clubs were using, now Pioneer claim that the 2000's are the new Industry Standard.

CDJ900's replaced the 1000's.

CDJ850's replaced the 800's.

CDJ350's replaced the 400's.

All of these players are similar so no matter which one you get you will be able to transition from higher to lower end decks and vice versa(COMMON SENSE PROVIDED), and you have been told this a number of times.

You have a few years before you start playing in clubs, who knows there could be something different around by then. Focus on getting yourself some decks and learning the basics, your reading into things way to much.

i think your mainly talking about the MK3's, the MK1's have been reported to be very flimsy at times and werent built very tough, and if you bumped them the CD could skip or freeze...but the MK2 was a big improvement on this and the MK3 better again

Also most of the big nightclubs have 2000's now. Most hotels and bars still use 1000's. Only a matter of time untill they upgrade, most 1000's I have played on are pretty fucked because they have had a beating for the last 4 years or so.

when i bought my decks i was really concerned about getting 'club standard' cause i was planning on being the next big thing in all of syd and i was gonna be playing at all the big name clubs.

its not gonna happen....

ur still a while away from 18, which also means ur a while away from clubs, to even start worrying bout club standard

if i was to re buy my gear, i tihnk i would have gone the cheaper option (not the CDJ100s)

if i was u Sol, go with the 350s or 850s and stop worrying bout club standard. If your a good DJ, ull be able to transition to any deck in the future

id say 9 outa 1 venues are running the cdj2000 now mainly because its free for them to upgrade as most venues will have the equipment on either a rental plan ora deal through there audio gurus

if you replace the term "industry standard" with "what people prefer to use" the answer is still the same
