GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
pioneer is unquestionably the industry standard for cd decks. there really is no valid argument to state otherwise. are there better products out there? possibly. are these decks any better than brand x’s offering? i think something like that boils down to personal opinion. is the price point a good for the product? absolutely not. overall i am happy with these decks, even though i feel that pioneer put me over the barrel and had its way with me on the price. had i known the issues i would have had with the product before i bought them i probably still would have bought them, high price and all. call me a fool for that, but it is nice walking up to a set of pioneer decks and not having to figure out the nuances and workings of a deck i do not own. the 900’s functionality as a stand alone unit is nice, and the auto beat loop and slip mode make for some nice sounds and flavor in your mix. <br /> if you have the money to spend on the decks and opt to not go with the 2000s like i did for the reasons i did then you will probably be happy overall with the purchase. just beware of the cheap feel of the unit and user unfriendly software end.
The 900 is an absolutely excellent player. They will do everything you need them to do and more for a good deal less than 2000's. A good knowledge in these will allow you to use 2000's that any major clubs should have ready for you. In fact, the 900 does a couple things the 2000 does not. For one, it has slip functionality, allowing you to scratch normally, and once you take your hand off the platter, the song position returns to where it would have normally been had you not touched the platter at all. Its great for keeping your tunes in sync without having to worry about losing your matched beat. It makes mixing a song about ten thousand times easier. It also has a sampler looping function not unlike the Roll effect on the line of Pioneer Club mixers. However it sacrifices the Hot Cue ability on the 2000's in favor of its sampler, which depending on how you view the price point, and your style of mixing, can be either a good or bad thing. I haven't found Rekordbox horribly useful, as I'm kinda old school and just like to use actual CD's. Overall I think these are a much better value than the 2000's, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to learn Pioneer style CDJ layouts, but also wants most of the same functionality for a much smaller price tag.
