Hi ladies and gentlemen, Jonathan here. We're at gettingamix.com and in this video we're going to do a comparison. The difference is between two mixers. On my left hand side we have the DJM-900 Nexus from Pioneer. On my right hand side we have the DJM-2000 Nexus from Pioneer. First of all, the 2000 has a touch sensitive pad area in the centre of the mixer. Above that we have one of the effects areas. It's pretty similar to the old EFX-1000. To the left hand side we have six effects. We have noise, zip, crush, low pass filter, high pass filter and jet. If we have a look at the DJM900 which is smaller than the 2000, we still have effects but we have a couple of new effects. We have space, dub echo, gate comp, short for gate compression, we have noise, crush and filter.

Very quickly as well, the filter on the 900 is similar to the filter that you have on the 2000. The difference is that on the 2000 you have high pass or low pass. On the 900 you just have filter. What you can do then by turning the colour dial, you do get... A low pass or a high pass filter. You get a high pass if you turn the dial clockwise, you get a low pass if you turn the dial anti-clockwise. If we have a look at the 2000, if you press the low pass then when you turn the effects dial clockwise you will then only get low pass. If you hit the high pass button by turning the dial clockwise again you'll only get high pass. That's the only difference there. Again, with the 900 we have the different effects. We have space, dub echo, gate compression, noise, crush and filter. To the right hand side of the 900 we have delay, echo, spiral, reverb, trans, filter, flanger, phaser, robot, melodic, slip roll, roll, reverse roll and send and return.

3:21 The difference is with the 900, you cannot do that

The DJM2000, we have delay, multi-tap delay roll, reverse roll, trans, gate, echo, reverb, slip roll, filter and phaser. Also what we can do on the 2000 is by turning the effects frequency, we can increase or decrease low, mid or high. So if you want to at any given time You can remove the high and the low and have the effect just on the mid, or mid and low, or mid and high, or if you want to, low and high. The choice is yours. That's pretty much it with the differences, the main differences between the 2000 and the 900. The only other big difference is that the 2000 has an internal LAN facility. So what you can do, if you've got four CDJs, you can go from your CDJ player via a LAN cable into the 2000. So what you have, you have an internal hub unit enabling you to plug in four separate players and then have one USB stick or one SD card in one player and play from that one player to all four.

The difference is with the 900, you cannot do that. What you can do though is if you have two CDJs, you can use your LAN cable and go from one to the other and then you can play from the one stick to the other stick but you can't go directly in. There is no internal hub in the 900. Alright? I hope that's been a help. If you want any more information on either the 900 Nexus With the 2000 Nexus, check out getinamixed.com. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
