Which CDJ Is Right For Me?

[Fango Jett]

What about the Synq dmc-1000, it got slip mode, hotcues and it's full midi mappable. The price is arround €450, the build quality is very good.

Looks alright. Looks a little old and boxy though, and i'm not really a fan of the buttons.

Gemini CDJ700 perhaps ? .. Midi, Media player, slip mode, quantize, CDJ style/size jogs, soundcard

Actually pretty much all the features of the CDJ2k except for Rekordbox and a smaller screen and under $500 each.

Consider the Gemini CDJ 650. They are the "little brother of the CDJ 700". I am thinking of picking up a pair myself. Mostly all the same features, USB, CD, MIDI etc....no touchscreen and smaller platter, but cheaper!

• No slip Mode
• Slower to Load
• No Transpose Function!!!! (about time its on a CDJ!).
• No Touchscreen (I know its a Gimmick really).
• Lack of Bigger/Better wheel with LCD indicators and Resistance control

All the above feature are well worth the extra $100 bucks for the 700 I'd think ?

Agreed. But the OP wanted 4 CDJs with MIDI to use with Traktor...so that is a minimum of $400 extra for the 700s over the 650s. If they are using them with timecode CDs to control Traktor, then that becomes a bigger issue, but for just MIDI/HID inTraktor, they might give him a lesser expensive option that is also more compact as they want 4 decks.

But all other things being equal, the 700s are nicer and maybe a better value long-term anyway.

what about the new Denon 2900, has slip mode too

Here's a question for someone out there...

What happens when if use slip mode with DVS ?

that looks like it has a smaller platter, no hot cues, and is more expensive than the gemini cdj700
why would i prefer that?
