| “…an extremely comprehensive DJ’ing experience” |
| "At first glance the CDJ-350 is not quite as good looking as its big brothers: the CDJ-850, 900 and 2000. Make no mistake though, build quality is excellent and it’s a solid enough unit, it’s just that first impressions of the square(ish) recessed buttons and the slightly odd looking jog wheel are not immediately endearing. But don’t be put off by the lack of flashy looks. Under the belly lies a little beast of a machine that functions very well in its simplicity and after an hour of taking the 350 through its paces even the aesthetics started to grow on me. Currently it is the cheapest Multi player in the Pioneer range to offer full USB connectivity, plays all media formats, has a built in sound card and significantly, it works with Rekordbox, their excellent music management software. There are 3 different ways one can mix off a CDJ-350. ‘Old-skool’ audio CD format will display your track names if they are embedded on the disc, but you can also play MP3 discs although I have always found browsing through folders and folders of MP3’s on a disc a little clumsy on these small screen displays and this is no different on the 350. A smarter way of playing MP3’s (or Wav’s digitally if you’re not an MP3 fan) is to use the USB Flash drive option. What makes this more usable is that instead of simply browsing through folders of MP3’s one can create your own playlists in Rekordbox on your PC and then write these playlists (along with the tracks of course) to a USB Flash drive. This means that when you plug the flash drive into the USB port, handily located in the top left hand corner of the unit, you can call up your tracks in these playlists making it so much easier to navigate on the media player’s screen. This is a major feature on the 350, although it should be noted that you will need 2 flash drives, one for each media player. Rekordbox is such a powerful software tool to manage your music collection, from creating playlists to identifying a track’s tempo, to its genre as well as a host of other details (cue points etc). If you like to completely pre-plan your sets beforehand you can create the playlist with the tracks in the exact order you intend spinning them thus making your search for the next tune as easy as pressing the <next> button. Cleverly, you are also able to add tracks to a playlist on the unit itself so that when you plug your flash disc back into to your PC afterwards, this playlist will be updated on your Rekordbox side too. The CDJ-350 is also a DJ controller integrating seamlessly with Traktor Pro and Serato Itch. Pre-mapped templates are available and when loaded the unit controls every aspect of the DJ software right down to even browsing your library, tempo, cueing, etc and the jog-wheel calibration is just perfect. As a Traktor Scratch Pro user myself who currently uses timecoded CD’s to mix, I couldn’t help but admire just how good the integration is between the 350 and the software. Other handy features that impress on this unit include a tempo range button with four levels of settings from ± 6%, ±10 %, ± 16 % to Wide. The Auto BPM Lock button enables one to set a master BPM so that each time one loads a track, the newly loaded tune will automatically adjust to that BPM, and the Loop functions offer a cool range of loop variations. Whilst it does not have the visual Track Wave display of its bigger brothers, the 350 does include a ‘Beat Display,’ a fairly rudimentary, yet perfectly functional display that shows the beat position of a song and the playback point. This is particularly useful when using loops to get one’s timing right. There is also a vinyl mode button which enables your jog-wheel to emulate a record player. In this mode the outer rim of the jog-wheel (the silver bit) acts like the platter and the inner rim (the black bit) like the actual record so for scratching one would use the black section and for beat-mixing in vinyl mode, simply caress the silver outer rim as you would do on a turntable. There are no effects on the CDJ-350 but this is really why combining it with the DJM mixer is the best solution." - Dave Mac |
