Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ Review - Serato & Rekordbox All In One Standalone System!

Repetitive stuff from pioneer, when DJs are so loyal to pioneer, they can continue to recycle controllers like this, and pay no price by the consumer… rr,rx,rx2 rx3, rz. Same controller!!

So if standalone don't have "sample" on cue pads, how do i use my own sample with stand alones then?

does the usb support Arabic language please help

If anyone could give me some advice id be really grateful.
Ive always used my technics and mixed on vinyl, i did have some cdjs but they are in the loft, but i did buy the flx6 , only to realise that the 4 channel mixer would not accept my technics , so that is brand new in the box and i was going to sell it to go towards either this or put a bit more in and get the opus.
My question is, what would make me want to spend best part of another grand to buy the opus over this? I feel that this is exactly what i will be presented with when playing in a club so what makes the opus so special?
Id be grateful of any advice as i wasted my money on the flx and dont really want to feel dissatisfied when i buy most probably this unit.
Thanks in advance, im old skool and i really want to join the world of digital positively rather than being overwhelmed.

Its crazy how after 3 years and the release of the xdj rx3, this model is still consistently on back order. Im hoping to get mine in the next few months, upgrading from a sz2.

I really do not have time here to explain to everybody what is the difference between Pioneer vs. Xone mixers in terms of sound quality. The mixer is the brain of the sound and the only Pioneer mixer which can be realy compare with Xone 92/96 mixers is V10. Is just my opinion . Congrats for this review, is a complet review for who wants to by a little toy for his bedroom.

it's not a controller...🤣🤣🤣, it's a all in one stand alone unit

💜💜💜

I have about a £2000 budget. I need some dj decks that I’ll be able to connect an rmx-1000 with. Someone help me out pls. Would quite like 4 channels.

Hello, just i wanna know where's the sampler volume control ?

Hello

Thank you for the review.
may i ask you about USB capacity ? Does it work normally with 32 GB / 64 GB ?
Any problems on this topic. Please advise?
Thank you in advance <3

hi, is it possible to switch from usb mode to rekordbox and vice versa without the music being interrupted?

Iv had the rx and now I got the rx 2. I'm a wedding dj and I can't understand how Pioneer expect us to read the labels on the mic knobs when we can't see it. It should be UNDERNEATH the pot and not above.

Sorry It's me again. With another question. So I'm still thinking if I should buy the Prime 4 or the Pioneer XZ. Now the one thing that I don't like about Pioneer and rekordbox is that you need to purchase a rekordbox subscription for all functions. Logically you would expect that you don't need to do that with the XZ because it's a stand alone. But I use the sampler and I use a lot of effects. But you don't get the sampler. And you don't get all the effects in stand alone mode. You still need to hook up a laptop and you still need to purchase a subscription for Rekordbox. What makes me wonder. Should I not use the Pioneer DDJ1000 instead? Or does the XZ still has a lot more to offer then the DDJ1000? I also should mention that I like to enhance my setup later on. Maybe purchase N.I Machine or a Akai Sampler. And I don't know if the DDJ1000 allows me to do that just as much as the XZ.

Now from what I understand. (please correct me if I am wrong) The Prime 4 however. has a computer in stand alone that is so powerful that it offers you everything that any DJ software offers right? You can do everything what you can do without a laptop. And you never have to purchase a monthly subscription.

However I heard one reviewer say that the effects that the pioneer offers sounds nicer compared to the prime 4. But I don't know what that means. Does it sound cheap or what?

Is that Pioneer feel and sound so much superior that it is worth buying the XZ then the Prime 4. That offers you more for less money. Because sometimes I get the feeling that some reviewers are just biased (perhaps unaware of it) Simply because it is has the pioneer logo on it. That has the reputation of that company that goes with it.

Sorry for the very long story. But I am sure I'm not the only one that has the same questions. And I would love to hear your opinion. It really does influence my decision in what to purchase.

Is this a good controller if you like to add things such as a N.I. Machine or a Akai MPC. Will be in time sync with record box? or do i need special pioneer stuff to do that? and can I add extra effects units? I also would like to know if you can use all the effects on the sampler channel?

Is the rx3 the best 2 channel option to this? Also can you use SoundCloud directly on this? I would be using it for a live set up for multiple different DJs that use these.

I assume its not worth getting this now and waiting for the mkII?

I purchased the XDJ-XZ but am waiting on back order, I am buying to get familiar with pioneer as I currently use a Traktor S8. I’m used to having 4 Chanel’s, I’ve been told I can get the XDJ-RX3 sooner and the new screen and tech is hard not to be thinking of the XZ looking dated, I’d love to know, Is my money better spent on the Xz seeing as it’s paid for just a matter of back orders , or is the RX3 now a better option than the XZ? I’m worried if I go to a 2 Chanel mixer from a 4 Chanel I’ll miss having that capability but screen and tech on RX3 really tempting. Anyone care to share thoughts as it’s my first pioneer gear and really having a hard time deciding. Thanks.

Is there actually a BPM diplays and waves displays on the jogwheel screen display ?

As with most pioneer mixers all the faders are replaceable if something when wrong can you replace them on this controller?

Can I use This pioneer XDJ-XZ in clubs ?

Mby this is dumb question but how about using a external hdd replacing usb around one TB is it will work or might damage or freeze XZ ? I have not tried use recorbox making external hdd but might be good idea :D or not ?

It looks like they got those screens from a decade ago lol.

I'm really torn right now... XDJ-700's and a DJM750MK2 or this..? There are pros and cons of both and I just can't decide.

Hi,you can use your laptop and usb together ?

Hi i have a pioneer ddj-rz is there much point in changing to the xdj-xz? What’s your thoughts?

For the master eq I use a separate behringer mixer, sure a really nice feature.

I prefer the DDJ 1000

Not having the vertical is a disappointment. I wanted a bigger controller. Please make it with vertical and i will buy it. I hate using a laptop. Come on pioneer, do better

Please sir gift me for new year 😂😂

Just ordered mine and hope in 2 or 3 weeks I will write a review about it

Thankths for thes reviewths,

I wish beat fx were more common on boards

💥 boom

Hi guys, nice video but you really need to turn off autofocus on the camera for your overhead shots of the eqpt. I started feeling queasy it was going in and out of focus so much as Phil moves his hands around the controller surface! 😉

I'll be sticking with my DDJ--SZ until Pioneer produce a more advanced standalone controller.

All this for less than then the price of 1 nexus deck ! looks good to me evan if you bought 2 more cheaper cdjs it would still be less then half price of 2 deck nexus set up ! Or get your vinyl back out get a cheap record deck 👍

Anyone know if I can use normal vinyl turntables with the effects on the mixer?

Can you use this with Traktor Pro 3

I have just sold my RX2 as I wanted to upgrade to a three setup and with the RX2 you are just stuck with just the two channels. At least with the XZ you have the option to upgrade you setup when you are ready. For the cost of an extra £500 it's a no brainer in my opinion. I also agree with a lot of people that pioneer are being a little greedy by not allowing 4 decks. Cheeky buggers.

What's the first track you're playing here Phil? Great review!

this channel thing is confusing me im happy to use ch 1 and 2 for the 2 built in decks but can i use ch 3 and 4 for a pair of technics 1210s/1200s and have 4 independent decks at same time or not ?

Phil, have got a question about the rekordbox connectability.
Can I use the XDJ XZ to control the 3. and 4. deck like Serato DJ, or is this feature a Serato exlusvive?
Thank you!
Cheers!

Can you plug a 1tb hard drive in USB drive

is it possible to play channel 3 & 4 with Serato or rekordbox (computer ) and 1 & 2 with usb ? at the same time ??

Give me this hardware (especially the jog wheels) and the Denon software and screen on the Prime 4 and I’d be happy.

thanks mate, took a while to make this video, something Pioneer could of done , tut tut pionner :) be be nice to hear menu settings we all have, whats the Optimum settings to maximise everything this great unit has?

since the mixer isn't fully useable in stand alone mode its going to be a hard no from me.
