Was thinking of purchasing the CDJ 2000 Nexus...
I say "was" as I have loged onto here and seen all the problems people are having with them, Jesus!!
Im selling my CDJ 900s which have never missed a beat to upgrade to the Nexus, is the general advice on this.......DONT DO IT??!
Has the recent firmware sorted any of the problems?
Also, another idea, maybe I would be better off upgrading to the CDJ 2000MK1 as these can be had at decent prices at the minute and waiting untill the problems with the Nexus has been sorted before purchasing?
Any help/ideas appreciated.

nope!

not a bad idea!
You'd better buy CDJ 1000 mk3 and Serato... Believe me!
just remember not to load the latest firmware if you buy the 2000's mk1. Theres no way back if you do it!!!
Whats wrong with the latest firmware on the MK1's?
from what I read, the loops are now a mess
also display freezing: http://forums.pioneerdj.com/entries/22368448-cdj-2000-mk1-display-freeze
Excellent! So, to sum up,
Dont buy the CDJ 2000 Nexus beacuse basically they dont work properly in a variety of ways.
Dont buy the CDJ 2000MK1 with the latest firmware because, er, oh they don't work properly either! Brilliant!
So why exactly do I want to uprgrade from the 900's that have never let me down?? simple, I must be mad!
Ha ha
Buy the xdj aero! That's the only flawless unit that pioneer has that works great. :0)
Well Steven V, I wouldnt say that now either, apparently the latest update broke something where folders appear empty :(

Really I never got that on mines. Well I run all my tracks threw rekordbox never had that issue. Maybe they don't know what they doing. Lol
LOL,,, could be, who knows anymore!
lol at this thread, great PR
better buy a cdj2000 and stay with firmware 4.11
I Agree Ben
The thing is the NEXUS is having the same issue with the "loosing Folders issue" as well !! This was exactly what ive been experiancing over the last 6 weeks ...

Thank you again Bri for highlighting this. I wish Pio would give you some sort of recognition !! Ive had far more helpful advise from you over the last 8 weeks ...
Cheers for all the repliies. Ill be honest I aint now rushing out and spending 3K on the Nexus untill the problems have been sorted. Ill either stick with the 900's for the time being which are excellent decks imo, or pick up a pair of CDJ2000MK1 for under 2K. When the Nexus problems are sorted Ill happily buy them.

No problem at all
@Paul > The issue that has been reported from some users on the CDJmk1 is that the loops drift.
There are some bugs that are currently being ironed out by the engineers in the upcoming firmware. The same also applies for the XDJ-Aero.
Ok Gavin thanks, how long do you think a firmware update is likely to be for the MK1 & the Nexus?
@Paul > No comment on the mk1 at the moment. A CDJnexus update should become available on December 3rd.
