Can’t wait for the fashion to change and everyone to start buzzing on faders.

Amps can always replace the twisty knobs with Lego bricks if it does

…meh, the vast majority still do.

Maybe its time to accept it ain’t a fashion thing, some folk prefer one , some the other

Spent too much time trying to figure why no sound, then why 1 speaker isn’t working to really get a feel for.

Initial impression is I need to learn a lot of new stuff and realised how much I’d been using dual waveforms on a laptop as a crutch.

Back to square 1 😂

The sc6000’s look like they have a big screen. You’ll soon get used to it in no time.

Dubman
They do. But they’re on different screens instead of parallel on a laptop.

Just something new to learn and serves me right for being so reliant on.

All good fun 👍

Dubman What’s the mixer feel like

Update. It’s boss. Had a few hours to get the feel for it and loving.

Not got to the fx unit yet!

Mad_Cyril congrats on the new kit mate!

@benson I’ve had and recently sold DDJ-1000 (loved it) moving to the XDJ-XZ.

One thing I will recommend if you are serious about playing vinyl on the DDJ-1000 is that the inbuilt Phono preamps were only really put there to enable DVS (timecode vinyl). They don’t sound great for getting the vinyl sound and neither were every mixer after the DJM-600 until the 900NXS2, DJM-V10, and the XDJ-XZ. The V10 being the best sounding analogue/digital conversion from Pioneer.

On the DDJ-1000 and Pioneer mixers from DJM 700 to DJM 900nxs1 I recently found out that there is something you can do about it - get a pair of these and route the audio into Line mode (not Phono).

It clears up / boosts the sound from turntables and sounds better.

PYLE PP444 Phono Turntable Preamp (x2)

Enjoy mate.

NasserAlazzawi Nas. Did you ever have any headphone issues when cueing on the DDJ-1000?

Every now and then I’m getting audio cutouts in my headphones when cueing. The master cue and channel cue are both active, It will be working fine and then just nothing. turning the headphone control knobs does nothing. the only way I can get it working again is to unplug the headphone and plug them back in again.

Matt hi mate - I did have a volume issue where cue or master would go too quiet.

However, to me it sounds like this could be a connection problem.

Check:

Connection between headphones and wire is tight
Take the headphone jack out and if you’re using the big “quarter inch jack” size end, screw it off and on TIGHT-TIGHT as this has affected me before when it is just slightly loose
If that does nothing, unscrew the large Headphone jack off and use the small 3.5mm jack port next to the larger one

What headphones have you got. My hd25’s kept cutting out occasionally but I found a fix on YouTube & now there like brand new

Matt

NasserAlazzawi Cheers mate. Tried most of those (apart from using the 3.5). It’s a strange one. Can’t even find much info about any similar issues (and solutions) online
