Djay Pro 2 Mapping Xdj Rx2 Review
Dec 05, 2017 The Lowdown. The Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX2 is a solid all-in-one system for those with club, festival, and touring DJ aspirations. It’s as close as possible to a compact CDJ / DJM set-up, so that also means it’s a good choice for pro DJs who want a “close-to-club” set-up without forking over an arm and a leg for a pair of CDJs and a DJM mixer. Dec 22, 2014 That makes djay Pro and djay for iPhone and iPad the only set of DJ programs that have this, to my knowledge. Using with & without extra equipment. Generally, djay Pro is good in that it doesn’t need you to own a controller, or an audio interface, at all. Nov 27, 2017 XDJ-RX2 Proper Midi Mapping for RBDJ. XDJ-RX2 Proper Midi Mapping for RBDJ. Does anyone have a proper XDJ-RX2 midi mapping laying arround? I don't understand why Pioneer doesn't just give this, and I don't understand anything of the stuff they passed on their forums.

I have had a similar dilemma for the last few weeks, and have pretty much decided to jump onboard the MCX8000. I’ll explain why, and it may shed some light on your situation.
I have been DJing for over 15 years professionally in clubs/bars. I begun on 1210’s, then moved to CDJ’s (as the promo stuff switched to CD’s) and am now on Serato mainly. You say you want to be prepared for playing in a club, but not all clubs use Rekordbox CDJ’s (a lot I play in still have CDJ 1000 Mk3’s).
When I started, it was nice and simple, as you just turned up with your records/CD’s and you just used whatever was in front of you, however, things have become more tricky over the years due to the multiple systems out there, and with the variety in owners to upgrade their equipment.
I believe a true professional should be able to play on whatever equipment is there, even if what is there is total garbage, and this is why a lot of my friend DJ’s still use CD’s- it doesn’t matter what they have, they work. Personally I always carry an SL2 box and my Mac, which I can hook up to ANY mixer and turntable/CDJ, so maybe you could consider the Denon equivalent of an SL2 with the savings you make if you ever play in bars/clubs.
I have also begin carrying a small cheap Vestax Controller with a selection of connectors/adaptors as a total backup if their equipment is totally shot- preparation and backups are the key to not getting caught short and looking like a fool.
The DJ world doesn’t begin and end with pioneer 🙂
I agree with Grant, if you really feel the Denon unit has the features you want, then that is the direction you should go. The MCX8000 looks frickin’ sweet too. It might just be the all-in-one that wins me back from my modular setup. But I digress… When you get a booking, one of two things is likely to happen:
– If the venue you want to play at has a modern setup, then you’d be able to connect your laptop to it and keep on using Serato (complete with any cue points you’ve set).
– If the venue you want to play at does not have a modern setup, then you bring in your own controller and just ignore their equipment.I, too, was thinking about both of these units recently. In the end I went for the XDJ-RX; just got it last week.
It really is just like playing on Pioneer CDJs and a DJM mixer. The build quality is excellent, and there’s a good array of Pioneer beat and color FX. The screen is decent too – and parallel waveforms are quite the added luxury!
I went for the XDJ-RX because I wanted to get more practice using Pioneer gear – I often DJ on CDJs, and I’m perfectly capable, but I really want to feel a lot more comfortable and confident using them, and also really get my head around the DJM beat FX for interesting transitions. I’m always a little wary to mess around too much when playing out because, well, I hate people who overuse FX 🙂
The places I tend to play all have USB Pioneer decks anyway, so I’m already used to running all my music through Rekordbox.Djay pro 2 cyber monday. At the heart djay Pro is it’s award-winning, modern DJ software interface that provides flexible layers of functionality alongside a powerful music library. You can easily switch between 2 deck, 4 deck, sampler, and expanded library layouts to perfectly match your preferred mixing style. What's new in this version. We’re excited to introduce a major update, free to all existing djay Pro for Windows users. You can now access SoundCloud’s extensive music catalog to discover and mix millions of underground and premium tracks, and TIDAL integration offers millions of. Jan 27, 2020 Introducing djay 2 - the next generation of the #1 DJ app is now available on Android. Djay transforms your Android device into a full–featured DJ system. Seamlessly integrated with your music library, djay gives you direct access to mix your favorite songs and playlists. New in djay Pro 2 is an advanced library management system that is built around a sophisticated integration with your music library, Videos, Photos, and the file system. Djay Pro 2 now also offers its own playlists that make music management easier than ever.
In terms of a simple “standalone 2 decks and mixer” it’s really great. It’s permanently set up in my living room and just being able to walk in to my apartment, stick my USB drive in and immediately play is really, really nice.
If you decide you want a bit more excitement (extra features on the MCX8000, a 4 channel mixer) and you’re not so fussed about becoming a master on Pioneer gear, then I’d say go for that. It really looks like a great unit at a great price.
I’d echo what Grant says though about backups – I also have a tiny but fun controller I can take with me anywhere (Novation Twitch), plus an Akai AMX (also tiny!) and control vinyl/CDs for Serato. In theory, that covers me for playing just about anywhere… the Twitch, AMX, cabling, laptop and headphones all fit in a small (and surprisingly light) backpack!
Let us know what you decide!
I would go for the RX, I recently traded in my old 850’s for it and haven’t looked back… Best piece of kit brought out in recent years…
There are many ways to go about these things. As both units have their own specific features and are, imho, aimed at slightly different groups of DJs, with the MCX8000 standing to take the place of the venerable MC6000 (mk1 and 2) as default workhorse for the mobile DJ. Hope they got the build quality right on it.
What would clench the deal for me, as mobile DJ, is always the multiple mic inputs on separate channels. Not having that on just about any other brand of DJ controller is a true deal breaker for me. Effectively the Denon’s are 6-channel controllers, not 4 with switchable inputs. Add the separate onboard reverb on the mic channels (handy if the best man wants to sing to the happy couple at a wedding) and you are good to go. Finally I like Denon’s persistence in offering additional split cue rather than just cue/master balance.You say that Engine works with Serato. Now there is a tricky one. I may be completely off-base here, but I think what the advertising says is you can use Engine for standalone use (just you and your memory stick) AND it also supports Serato if you want to bring a laptop and play. In which case I am sure they have made it so the screens display some interesting things otherwise on your laptop Serato screen. It does NOT (again, as I understand) mean that you can import/export from and to Serato from Engine for example. So in that case it would be very dissimilar to RekordBox DJ which does allow you to easily export stuf to your RB memory stick.
I am an avid Mixvibes Cross user. It has full HID support, so when I go to a place that I need to use the CDJs, I bring two USB leads and a small powered hub and just use the players with my laptop as controllers. Mixing clearly takes place on the DJM(usually)900s. It’s sub-optimal but will work.
I will typically have one of those zipped CD-bags with me with some CDs as well, sort of like the ultimate backup. Or when you roll up to that one club that has a full Denon setup (or Gemini, Numark or something non-Pioneer).
Good question – I have no idea how I got a picture here. I’ve been hanging around this board for ages now. It’s an old version of my logo though, so it must be from when I originally signed up.
Nope Vintage:
The new Engine Software CAN directly import all Settings from the Serato library.
So if you set all your cuepoints, loops, crates, smartcrates and analyse the files in Serato it will seamlessly be available in the new Engine software, same goes for iTunes playlists. (At least this is what the Denon sales rep tells us…)
Which IMHO gives you the best of both worlds.
I can DJ with Serato nicely and if my laptop fails (which it never did) I can simply go on with the USB stick I have ready made with Engine.Ok, I have been looking for a copy of the new engine in the wrong places then 🙂
Well we never know what will materialize, what I am stating is sales rep talk… so the end product may vary from that hehe
Yeah, I read the specs. They are, imho, up for interpretation. It seems like you have to open both Serato and Engine, drag and drop the stuff you want in Engine and then … and here it gets interesting … hit analyse if it doesn’t automatically analyse. What does it analyse then (since it’s a track already Serato-analysed) and does it indeed take all those painstaking beatgrid corrections you put in?
We will indeed see when the product is out there.
Now that the MCX 8000 is officially out and been out for awhile, what do people think? I’m torn between the two but love the native Serato support on the Denon. I’ve been using CDJs though for most of my life so that’s attractive too. I have been using Traktor with a mouse and keyboard or my twin American Audio Radius 3000s. I have so many CDs though and it seems like a waste to move completely to digital… I just don’t know!
Having passed that station years and years ago, going back to CD’s and CDJs as my primary platform will never happen.
It does depend a little on what kind of DJ you are. I am a mobile DJ that plays just about any genre from any era. First just software (PCDJ RED among others) on a laptop with keyboard and mouse I “graduated” and moved to the (then high-tech) Numark D2 Director (see below picture). As you can tell effectively a double CD-deck reminiscent of the old Denon DN-S2600 and such, but with an option to hook up a hard disk and use digital tracks. Simple management software took care of indexing so you could find tracks quicker. Rudimentary in retrospect but it worked.
Then I bought my first real controller, the Denon MC6000. I’ll freely admit that I am a big and long-time Denon fan. It came with Traktor software. At the time Traktor were trying to get their software bundled with many controllers. Pretty soon I had strong love for the controller, but way less for Traktor as I found it very unsuitable for mobile DJ-ing, but especially for my workflow. Since Serato was very closed ecosystem then and could not be used with the MC6000 I moved to Mixvibes Cross. It has most in common with Serato and works fine and I use it to this day. I then sold my MC6000 in anticipation of buying the mk2. Unfortunately Mixvibes was behind the curve on creating a mapping for that one, so I waited. At some point I was able to swap some other gear for a “golden” DDJ-SX. This I have been using for the last couple of years and works just fine. As you’d expect from a higher-end pro-grade piece of equipment.
Since the announcement of the MC8000 I have been waiting to get one and it looks like I’ll be able to order one this week. I have never considered the XDJ-RX in general and after reading Phil’s review and hearing from co-moderator Terry_42 (a more than avid Reloop afficionado who willingly tossed his Terminal Mix 8 aside for the MCX8000) I don’t think the XDJ-RX and MCX8000 can be compared as equals.
So my vote goes to the 8000.
