It wouldn’t be impossible. Isn’t his wife, Cochella, a DJ?
Wasn’t she the one who had to interrupt a set because she couldn’t mix, claiming that her team hadn’t placed the hot cues in the right place?

ohhhh yeah it was, that explains the new ‘excuses for the crowd’ tele-prompter that pops up on screen when the deck detects a train wreck.

“Im shocked that this even has a pitch fader, because who really even uses one anyways”
Is anyone still taking that guy seriously?
Removing the graphics from inside the pitch fader is one of the most ridiculous things ive ever seen on a DJ player, its still the absolute best way to quickly shift up your track by a certain amount of BPM…. DJing as an artform is truly dying.

Yeah, he tried to defend every of their questionable decision.
He also didn’t mention that the track skip, search and memory cue buttons aren’t illuminated anymore. Just back to old CDJ-2000 style buttons. Clear cost-saving measures. This upgrade is more like a side-grade. Promised features not brought to the CDJ-3000 are simply shifted into yet another product, while Denon provides more features with free software updates. Gate Cue is such a weird example.

The narrator really needs to have a couple of energy drinks before attempting to record voice overs. He sounds like Stuart, the comic book store owner on Big Bang Theory.
Someone needs to shake him awake at several points

Who is using SD cards for djing? Well, I personally know at least 40 people. Now this will be a issue, where a lot of djs actually do use SD cards.
This guy actually acts like he knows something about djing… Naaa he does know nothing…

Might be something regional? Like: Who uses rotary mixers in the Netherlands?
But yeah, the video is a bit daft…
No, not regional at all. I know djs from Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, UK, Poland and Spain that do use SD cards. I can bet they know many people who use SD cards as well.

Its defo not a common thing in the UK, i assume its down to cost. A fast high capacity SD card is usually far more expensive than a USB drive, and there’s always been a bit of a stigma (incorrectly) about their reliability in comparison to a flash drive.

SD card user here 
Popping one inside the Prime Go meant I had the same experience as a storage bay. I’ve been on them for years as I switch between various Prime units. Yeah, I’ve had a few fail but only the same amount as USB sticks. As long as you have a backup it’s not the end of the world.

Sd & usb user
Sd for my main collection, usb for quick testing purposes & taking rekordbox collection round friends.
SDs are more robust physically (don’t stick out) while at the same time being more portable (flat enough to even fit into your wallet) and can remain inside your DJ-Unit when moving it around. USBs are more common to see, because the market leader wants to save some pennies on adding SD slots to most of their devices, including the popular RX series and the oversized XZ/AZ. No SD-slot, no SATA-bay. Very lame.
But hey, Wi-Fi coming now… “yay”

So from looking at this, it’s a MK2 or “plus” model to bridge the gap until the 4000 arrives.
Just like the three revisions they did to the CDJ-1000 which brought incremental updates to each one, this is the same.
It also fulfils their promise to release any new hardware going forward under the AT brand. The current production run of gear continue to use the Pioneer DJ brand until they cease or update the particular model.
It’s possibly/probably got WiFi and possibly a better processor, although the last one wasn’t too bad, it was only really utilised for faster loading times, waveforms and GUI smoothness. Feature dumps are rare on AT gear without moving to another model or revision, even if hardware can do it.
Not a bad MK2 but the 4000 will be the one to watch if it’s new features people want and that’s probably a couple of years away yet.

Mir tun die Veranstaltungstechnikfirmen leid, die diesen Scam wegen übertriebener DJ-Rider kaufen müssen. Alle 3000er, die wegen “Geräteknappheit” schwer zu bekommen waren, sind jetzt osolet.
“I feel sorry for the event technology companies that have to buy this scam because of exaggerated DJ-riders. All 3000s, which were difficult to get due to “scarcity of equipment”, are now osolet.“
I don’t think they’re obsolete as such. They’re still 3000s. Unless there’s a major feature to be announced, they’ll still be fine until the 4000s arrive. These are just tweaked models to keep momentum going until the next model.
Like a car when they release a facelift model around halfway thought the product cycle. There’s probably very little ‘new’ features, just a refresh to bring things more up-to-date.
Possibly one or two new things but their innovation (if you can call it that?) will most probably arrive with the 4000.
Of course, I could be wrong but keeping the model in the 3000 range means it’s just a tweak.
They’re doing this:

Come on, InMusic guys, release an SC7000 with a powerful CPU like a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 / Dimensity 9300 coupled with 12GB of RAM capable of producing high-quality real-time stems. Add a loop sampler mode on the second layer when not in use, allowing you to import drum loops from the cloud or locally, or extracted from other tracks.
Price it similar to, or slightly lower than, this CDJ 3000x and add a good marketing campaign “Don’t just be a DJ, be a creative DJ” and bury them for good.
I guarantee you that in 24 hours it will go viral on all social media and you will give the AT team a sweat.
The AT tree is falling; it’s just time to push to accompany its fall and reclaim your place with a totally avant-garde and disruptive product. You can do it, you have the technology and skills to do it!
