I've been DJing for 22 years now, just got a ddj1000 and this has been one of, if not the most useful video I've watched so far. Great tips.

The mapping of the sampler rec/play button made everything for me

[JakeFromStatefarm]

i waited over a year to buy one of these and it was the best decision i ever made! Never get tired of starting it up🤤

TIP#2 is totally genius. I've been watching a ton of videos trying to find out where the play and record is for the sequencer and had no luck. Didn't think about mapping it until watching this. Thank you

[MickDedley]

I really like the options you get with editing the pads. Like, I never use beat jump so that entire section is about to get reassigned. Thanks for the vid.

[saqifyeasir]

These tricks are not only helpfull for ddj1000 it can be done on almost any controller. Thanks allot for the ideas.

[WhojaVu]

I am not sure how to fix the lag when playing with the hot cues.

Thanks for the MIDI mapping tip. I just turned my SLIP buttons to do preview play/stop. Never use slip mode, and that button sits nicely next to the browse rotary. Works like a charm!

Thanks for all the tips!

[KBtheDJay]

thank you thank thank you!! makes life so much less complicated, great stuff Jamie !

[RobVice]

Does anyone know how to mix on DDJ1000 to mimic Nexus setup as much as possible?

[masala.talkies]

I totally dug the 1st tip about modifying the pad buttons to comply with your own personal style of playing, so that you can choose what effects and controls you want to be readily available to you. Something Pioneer needs to extend to all their controllers.

omg I never noticed the colour FX parameter saved each colour setting individually. I was waiting for an update so we can finally map it. thanks for the tip :)

[DJQUAD]

I really like tip #1 with editing the pad effect. This is a very creative way of doing something different than the next DJ.

[ChenBoi]

My favourite tip has got to be midi sequence, so much room for creativity! #wearecrossfader

[markino]

The 1st tip is definitely the best. Customizing the pad shortcuts as you want, so you can bring the mixer's performance to your personal DJing style, no matter how this style is. Plus, the capacity of having 16 shortcuts on two 8-buttoned panels, increasing its possibilities. #WeAreCrossfader thanks for these videos :)

Thank you for posting this. The color effects parameter adjustment was my fav.

[warrenkuah]

Tip 5 has got to be my favourite! Scratching on a controller is really something =P
