Pioneer CDJ400 MP3 CD USB Player Controller

Product Information

The CDJ-400 allows you to play your MP3 collection off CD-R/RW discs as well as music from mass storage USB devices, such as USB keys, external hard drives and portable media devices. But to balance this, Pioneer are at pains to stress that the CDJ-400 is pitched as a mid-range model that ticks a lot of pro boxes but doesn't cater for the high end needs of your Tiestos and Zabielas of this world. The scratch effects are momentary, or with the "HOLD" button can be applied after the platter has been released. The main display, although relatively small in size, is clear and bright making all the essential data easily readable.

The Pioneer CDJ-400 is an easy-to-use DJ CD player, providing comprehensive support for MP3 playback via both USB media and CD-ROM. If you spit out a CD and put it back in, the CDJ-400 remembers the last track and position played, making it easier to pick up where you left off if you change your mind about ejecting the CD. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. Despite a plasticky finish and a lightweight feel, the CDJ-400 is put together well and should stand up to a fair amount of abuse by overzealous DJs. the - to my taste is mainly because the set I was working on a coup in 1000 then 400 then 800 the set is faster and less bulk to the grip.The Roll effect in particular is very useful for instant remixing or simple slam mixing from track to track. I like the ergonomics, I have no comment ngative formulate, and the effects are top (roll, auto loop 4 times, wow ! The device is compatible with CD-R and CD-RW discs, as well as MP3 files, making it flexible in terms of music selection.

The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Pioneer owners to provide you with a good answer. While for now it is PC only, I expected to be able to plug in a hub and swap between devices as I saw fit. You can also adjust the auto cue level, based on the loudness of the next track, in 8 steps between -36dB to -78dB. Presently available in several languages including French and English, with over 700,000 registered members, AudioFanzine offers, free of charge, and for over 10 years, content and services in the fields of audio and musical instruments. Just simply plug in ONE USB cable to each CDJ straight to the laptop and use any mixer of your choice!or won't it be able to accept such long tracks -> i have a premade set mp3 analysed track on my stick, will this work on the cdj 400 like it does on the 2000nxs? It will also play music directly from mass storage USB devices such as USB keys and external hard drives. Unmistakably Pioneer, the CDJ-400 is a design hybrid between the lower end CDJ-200 and the 800/1000 top end, bridging the gap into which it fits perfectly. Having the greatest equipment in the world at home, should not preclude you from playing out on the worst equipment in the world live, or vice versa.

The only thing I would say is that the Pitch Control doesn't have a guide on the side, which means making precise beat-matches can be difficult if you use visionary skills. Instead, the outer edge of the dial is illuminated to simulate a moving platter, and you have the choice of six different light patterns.People tend to use the digital BPM counter on the display, but this is poor practice in the long term. And just like the CDJ-1000, Vinyl mode allows you to scratch the audio playback just as though you were scratching a real record. But anything else seems to seems to take a while to actually settle down to a reading that is accurate. I've thrown all manner of USB keys and various Flash cards at the CDJ-400 and they all worked just fine.
