Pioneer XDJ-XZ in 2024, The Club Standard? (vs RX3, XDJ-AZ: BEST Rekordbox & Serato DJ solution!)

#PioneerDJ #Serato #xdjxz

I'm sure there are plenty of people happy with their Pioneer XDJ-RX3 but I am a bit harsh on it here, it does have a better screen though of course. It's probably because I'm a bit of an audiophile and Denon gear for example gets you better sound quality for less, the XDJ-XZ that is the topic of this video is a considerable investment but I think it's better to step up to this before buying a Pioneer device to use Rekordbox at all TBH, that's just been my experience. Meaning I'd be looking at Serato or Traktor controllers that need a laptop and Denon stand alone gear if you want to spend a bit less.

My pinned comment gives a basic rundown of this vs the XDJ-AZ, just announced, in this video though I go over some short comings that the new model addresses, and some work arounds.

On history of this 'Club Standard', the DJM 900 Nexus came out in 2011, the CDJ-2000 Nexus came out in 2012, the mk 2 versions of both released n 2016.
