It’s May 29th 2024 , still helping someone like myself learn about CDJ 400, I still plan to buy 1 & mix with my DDJ 400 controller, I do have twin CD dual player with 5 channels & connected to my turn tables , technology certainly has come a very long way & knowing how CDJs cost , the more features the more the cost,

You can actually use it without a mixer. You can use the CDJ 400 as a Digital Controller. Which means that if you hook it up to your PC with a special cable, you can actually use the CDJ400 to control a "virtual" DJ setup, of two decks and a mixer. Do a search on DJ Controlers for more information. Another example of a Controler is the 'Numark Total Control'. Sounds confusing at first, but if you do research, you'll catch on quick :) P.S. For best results, yes, 2xCDJ400+Mixer is better!

You CAN Use the cdj 400 as a controller for virtual DJ. I have version 5.2 so it might differ from version to version. If you go to config>controllers you will see a pic of a cdj 400. Right click on it and click activate. Done. Cdj 400 now controls your Virtual DJ

@xXVikingninjaXx If you're looking to be a scratch DJ, go 800mk2s, and if you're more into mixing, go for the 400s. The 800s' platters are great for scratching, and the 400s can scratch and have additional features. :)

@djuav The behringer DDM4000 is a great piece of equipment. Generally Behringer have really bad mixers but this ones a real work of art. at a quarter of the price of the djm800. Does more as well. Its about $500 australian. Compared to the $2000 the DJM800 is. And they do the exact same thing. And the ddm4000 is more customisable

Also, the reason TOP dj's use their equipment is because they do a REALLY good job marketing their product. In fact they first use to pay Dj's to use their products! I moved to Denon's 3500 they are made in Japan. However, the ONLY problem with them is the cue slip. Nevertheless, NEWER software should sort this out Im told. Please let me know what you think of my comments. Many thanks. Peace to all youtubers :-).

Hello i was thinking of purchasing a set of 400's. I have used the 1000MK3 as well as the 200's. I like the jog feel of the 1000's and find that the 200's are way to sensitive and suck for actual mixing unless you own a pair and are use to that sort of thing.I was just wondering in Vynal mode with the 400's if you get that same kinda over sensitivity as the 200's in CDJ mode.
