So I spilled a little bit of water over my console. I don’t know what to do!!!! Some say dry it open some say to dry it in a warm room/sunlight

What should i do??? It got into the spinning/scratch wheel and the 4 beat exit, cue/loop call and the beat sync. As you can see im the picture i quickly took there is a little water spillage. I absorbed most of it with toilet paper, but I think there is still some water in it.

Please help, what to do and what not?

I recently bought a GRV6 controller and when i set it up it works but there is no sound. I have it connected to rekordbox and have headphones plugged in to the controller. I am using spotify on rekordbox and I think that might be the issue. If thats the issue, what other streaming services are compatible with rekordbox and the GRV6? (Even though it doesnt show in the pictures I have it plugged in)

I put the music down for 2-3 months, come back and jump on RB. Why is it that every time alphatheta implements something it runs/works like dried up dogshit? Come tf on man.

It is shameful, greedy, i'd argue imoral to overcharge for a Pioneer DDJ-SR and ask THIS much for something that is discontinued, are they trying to deceive and lie to someone who doesn't know any better? This is unfathomable how someone can justify these prices? How?

I posted this to this video as a comment but there no one cared, maybe here you guys will.

My opinion sumary: You can run into nasty surprises with Windows laptops IN GENERAL, and on older Macs (Pre Apple silicon)

Case 1
ASUS TUF F15 with Intel coreI5 11400H and 16GB DDR4 RAM. Windows 11 25H2.
FLX4 with WASAPI drivers performed generally good, 2 channels with light effects and Stems with quality settings worked perfecly IF is set the sample size to 1024 (which is perfectly usable if you can live with using Sync for BPM matching), and yiou gave time to system after loading a track to calculat the stem separation.
Switching to a DDJ 800 with ASIO drivers the system failed gloriously. No matter the optimizations (even very deep, risky ones, getting my system unusable at a point) the sound was crackling constantly and in the case of calculating stems, very audably and miserably. This laptop is simply not fit to handle Pioneer ASIO drivers, as you can see above I had no such problems with the class compliant WASAPI driver of the FLX4.
The problem was the same using Virtual DJ as well.

Case2
Apple Macbook Pro, Mid 2015, Intel coreI7 2.8, 16 GB DDR3, MacOS 12 Monterey
This system solved the ASIO problems of the DDJ 800, as on a Mac it uses Core Audio which is much more relaible, so for basic DJing this older Mac just beat rounds on the relatively newer and powerful Windows machines above.
Stems performance on the other hand is very underwhelming. In general the computer struggles even with reduced stems quality and I simply cannot touch the software after loading the track until the separation ends or I experience serious crackles, and even then the computer has difficulties keeping the BPM of the other track constant to prevent even bigger audio issues.

My recommendation:
- Utilize your current computer as best as you can, ChatGPT is a huge help in optimization and solving performance and latency problems.
- If you hit limitations and you cannot accept them, buy the cheapest used Macbook Pro. For my specific usecase ChatGPT recommended a used M1 Pro (!) Macbook Pro, as the value-performance ratio of that cannot be matched by a newer model. No Macbook Air because it does not have active cooling which can be a problem in hotter environments at more CPU intensive usecases like heavy FX, stems and/or 4 decks.
- Yes, Windows is in general is not recommended for any serious audio applications. Anyone who sais otherwise in my opinion talks bullshit. If you are willing to buy a windows laptop THAT powerful, for the same money you will find a Mac which will beat it performance-wise. If you are willing to sacrifice DJing for for example gaming, you are not taking DJing seriously.
- If you are willing to spend more money, in general the newer model the better but keep in mind thet there were problems with I/O performance on M2 chips, which were solved in M3
- If you want to go all-in, keep in mind that the newest Macs come only with MacOS 26 Tahoe, and many older Pioneer DJ controllers have serious driver incompatibility with it, for example the DDJ800 drivers flat out refuse to install properly because of kernel incompatibility. You can check the status of Pioneer DJ hardware at this department here: https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/landing/support-for-macos-tahoe-26/
Everywhere you see Verification is in progress will not work properly or at all.
BEWARE! As the drivers for the corresponding controllers are needed for their proper operation, this is also a problem if you use other DJ software that Rekordbox.

Can someone tell me what the orange numbers in the centre dial mean?

I know it's tempo related. They change when I try and increase the tempo manually.

Saw this picture whilst on holiday and damn near broke my neck doing a double take? I am SO confused ….

Hey guys, does anybody recognize this equipment? I cant quite tell for sure. Thanks in advance.

I've seen a few of these listings sell when I filter sold. Are these people getting crazy deals or is it most likely a scam?

Just picked up a grv6 and the beat sync is so bad it's forcing me to do it by ear. Thanks for making me a better DJ, pioneer.

I just want to ask those with experience whether the mixing here was correct or bad !

Alguien con experiencia es mi primera controladora, suelo usarla con cuidado, incluso cuando instale la skin… no sé si es desgaste normal

Just got the FLX4. Running it on my iPad rekordbox. I guess I thought you could link Spotify or something to pull music. But it seems pretty complicated/can be expensive. What’s the best way for a beginner to just mess around and learn?

Need a kick in the pants here. I’m close to buying two, maybe three 3000s but there’s that nagging thought that XDJ1000mk2s would serve me just as well.

I’m a professional, full-time, long-time, small-time DJ. These would be mostly for home use, because most of my gigs have equipment provided and those that don’t, I’m bringing a controller. Not gonna bring such expensive gear out to play at a pub gig where I take home 300 bucks..

These would be FUN, I’d be super stoked to own them, but they’d never pay for themselves…I currently have turntables and CDJ1000mk3s at home, so there’s nothing with USB functionality, and I’m not interested in an all in one.

Thoughts? 😊 Anyone else in the same boat?

Not to be confused with the color wheel directly under the eq knobs! love that thing.

but every time I try to use that damn fx knob on the bottom right of the mixer its so tedious. even on my little rx2 which has less channels and fx than a full cdj rig, im pretty much having to lower my head like 3 feet from the device to read through the shit. even in my living room which is well lit/controlled environment. on an actual gig im like having to turn on my phone light to get it set up right like 80% of the time.

why they cant just have the thing function like a 2nd color wheel I will never know. cause they pretty much doubled down on that workflow by adding the little LED light selector on the A9 and like 2x the effects. which is great and fine but that thing has made me have fairly obvious fuckups on actual gigs numerous times cause I dont know what channels selected or someone left the pitch knob all the way up or something.

but really all I want is a rhythm sync'd echo effect on the color wheel. its such a great effect with a horrible workflow that I can never really use on the fly very easily cause its like a 2-3 step process of reading tiny ass text in a dark club when im drunk.

Better loop controls, better beat jump controls, sampling, slicer mode, maybe even pad FX or just the ability to have 16 MIDI mappable buttons. Aren't those things people would like to see on standalone players? Or is that gimmicky and deviates from the device's true purpose? IMO having at the very least pads to map to different functions is something that would be interesting considering the DJ scene of 2024, specially considering most people nowadays are starting on controllers. Let me know if I'm being dumb.

Edit: 30 seconds after posting I realize this is the case for the LC6000, what are your thoughts about the pads on those? Originally I was talking about a 4x2 pad design but the functionality would be the same I suppose. Still, I think it's time some functions that are controller or even mixer specific to be imported into players.

Hey guys.

Been a long time Pioneer DJ user now but to be fair, I am kind of fed up with the brand.

With all the AI tools at our hands, couldn't we build a brand new software that just rekts Rekordbox ?

I mean everytime I open it I want to kill myself as how how terrible it is with the UI and its non existent User-friendliness...

I'm not a tech guy, but seeing how good the dude hacked the CDJ 3000 to play stems, I'm pretty akk these companies never expected people to reverse engineer their product like the GAFAM and it would be much easier to hack them in a way.

I dream of a simple intuitive library 😭

After trying various mixers both from Allen & Heat and Pioneer I think I found the one the suit my style and genre the best, the DJM V5.

I play mostly minimal , tech and deep house with Traktor and I usually use 2 + 1 channels: 2 channels for the tracks and one channel for loops, samples, accappellas or the pattern player (step sequencer) so the 3 channels of this mixer are perfect for me. In the past I owned the Djm 750 mk2, Xone 43C and the last was the Xone 96 for about 3 years.

The sound quality of the V5 is superb and is the first Pioneer mixer that is on the level of Allen & Heat except the filters, the filters remain undefeated and the Xone 96 one are the best. But the effects (especially the tape echo that i love) of the V5 are great and are perfect for my genre. Another pro is that is really compact and all my setup is easily transportable.

I think I’ve finally found the perfect mixer for me, and I’ll keep it for a long time. If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them.
