Your review answers a lot of the questions I had upon the 3000’s release. Thank you Pri yon Joni 👍

[djillyaslick]

best demonstration and explanation of the cdj 3000

[DJPhilHarris]

Thank so much for these! Really helped me make my mind up about getting these :)

[djsoomo]

Excellent, detailed in-depth preview worth revisiting!

[househeadspeakz]

This is why I come to your channel for new Pioneer gear. You give a serious breakdown and add things we didn't know about a product. I went to the DJ channel you mentioned and he gave a great comparison of the CDJ 2000 NX2 and the CDJ 3000. I went to DJ Passionate channel but as usual, they have negative to say about any Pioneer gear for they ride and die with Denon. That's cool but if you going to give a showing of new gear, be a pro about it. Thank you for your professionalism.

Oh man Pri, you're just the best DJ youtube content creator. So knowledgeable and passioned!

After waiting (4) months they have arrived & I'm not disappointed at all. I've owned the CDJ 2000s before but returned them for Denons. My wait for these was well worth it, these 3000 deck are amazing, the jogs smooth, display big & clear, HID flawless, overall functionality is on point. Export still slow & sucks but that's Rekordbox overall Pioneer is the industry standard for a reason. I still have my Denon 5000s & no plans on selling with this latest engine update made them all new again. But, these will be go tos for my major shows and club tours. I have moved away a lot from controllers for use in major event, this was the extra push I needed. My gear head days have ended on these 2 rigs, major in cost but major results already 2022 is looking good thus far. Thank you for the amazing reviews they helped me decide between the CDJ 3000s and the Denon 6000s. Use Hype gear or step out the box like Laidback Luke lol. Keep up the work, you save a lot of DJs like me on gear decisions.

These are amazing machines, Pri yon Joni is an excellent instructor. I played on SC6000s last night. I've also played on these several times in the last few months. While I can say I don't mind using SC6000s, nothing beats the familiarity and original beast that is Pioneer CDJs and the technology and innovation that got us the CDJ3000s to where they are today. The wave file display is someting I would never like to compromise on. These are industry standard for a reason.

The shortcut button next to the browse knob is a lot easier to use when adjusting beat jump length

[kristiiiiiin]

fantastic overview! scratching is on poiiiint. can’t wait for mine to finally arrive (backorder for over a year but shipping next week!!!)

[alexzanderking]

Denon Dj user here whilst I prefer the sc6000s Pri Yon Joni has done a great job here explaining what it actually does and why Pioneer choose to go the route they did.

[Benderiukas]

Thanks for very detailed video, Youtube algorithm should push your video more up so Danon dj's will have better understanding what is all about and stop throwing hate under each CDJ-3000 videos... I have question is there any plans with firmware update allow to preview through RCA so it will be more compatible with older Pioneer and other brand mixers ? or it's always will be exclusive only to Link ?

[leatherwoodrc]

Love the headphone rerouted to use deck preview trick.

[andif]

Great review!  
This are the things we need to know!

Pioneer just released this unit with empty cheap phrases and expected our money.

After watching this review - I really consider getting those (later after all this Covid-shit)...

[timothybaloyi]

Lovely stuff, but why can't find the link page on the other CDJs

[ShaneFontane]

after trying the sc6000 decks, then returning them (although very capable decks) for 3000 decks... these 3000 decks are just perfect. along with the v10... and it's just a beautifully designed system.

[Kraundler]

Hi, I love your review. One thing I can't find on any reviews, can you change the track order in the playlist or tag list? For example, moving a track from the fifth spot to the third, can you do that?

[benoitpiret]

This is a great video. Helpful and lots of info that you don’t see in many videos I watched. Thx. I grabbed 3 decks and a DJS1000.
Now there are 2 things that you didn’t address and I was wondering about. 1) hot cues load with lag. Not instantly. Which is kind of a pain. Why is that? 2) why did they decide not to give the ability to gate the cue???
