It feels like when ever Pioneer DJ launch a new range of media players it raises the bar for industry standards. The new CDJ 3000 is no different. If you're upgrading from a DJ controller like the DDJ 1000 or maybe an older sku like the DDJ SB3 to get a feel of the club standard.

The CDJ 3000 is that standard. Having changed over the past 20 years the CDJ has come further than any of its DJ controller counterparts.  Evolving into something we could have only dreamed of so long ago. Let's be honest here.... Any media player can play your tracks but if you're looking to take the next step to performer the decks have to make fire up your creative vision.  The CDJ-3000 does  just that and a whole lot more.

The new MPU in the CDJ 3000 drives the unit, delivering stable performance and enabling advanced new features, and it works with the other parts of the player to create a smoother DJ experience. Cutting down on load times for your hot cues and tracks (never get caught out again as that track runs out). It's come standard with rekordbox Hardware Unlock device too. 

Its got the 9-inch touch screen, which is bigger and a higher resolution than the one on the CDJ-2000NXS2. See everything you need to about your track information and the new shortcut features make it easier to jump between different categories in your music collection. - which is a real win. But digging into the new functions is where things really start to shine. The  Touch Preview enable effortless and rapid track selection. Add to that Touch Cue, Stacked Waveform, and 3Band Waveform, you’ll always know where the perfect mix points are on the cued track and the one that’s currently playing.

You can also create a wider range of loops with the new 8-Beat Loop button which comes in addition to the classic 4-Beat control. Boasting all this and more the Pioneer DJ CDJ 3000 has set the new standard for club media players.

First Impressions - CDJ 3000

The CDJ series made a big splash when it arrived on the scene in 2008. It was new take on media players that was just the start of Pioneer DJ's dominance. Twelve years later Pioneer DJ are back with their CDJ series, and of course CDJ-3000. CDJ-3000 is a revision to the CDJ family that has been in development for years. And now it's finally here! Pioneer CDJs have always been known as “Serato players” or “Traktor players” because they are compatible with every DJ software available. CDJs can be used with any software on the market – wow!
