The first things you’ll use are the browse knobs to load your tracks, you can scroll and select tracks by pressing the knob. The Pioneer DDJ-1000 features – Deck section Pioneer have decided that it’s OK to click through four tabs and adjust it by hand every time, which is very annoying! I opened the mixer panel and assigned the crossfader to decks one and two and I was ready to mix. Next I configured the crossfader as I discovered there was no crossfader curve adjust knob on the interface. If you don’t disable it your computer speakers will also output sound which plays slightly out of sync with the master out and headphones. This can be found at the top right of the interface and can be disabled with a simple click. If you’re using the controller outputs you’ll also have to disable the PC master out. This is pretty self explanatory, but if you have problems just try each option until you get sound from the correct output. So the first thing you have to do is configure the audio output and sound card in the preferences tab. I hooked up a pair of Behringer B210D Eurolive speakers and imported my music collection. The update that the controller needed to fix this was very simple to install and took just a couple of minutes to complete. Rekordbox recognised it and immediately updated because a bug had been found in the beatgrid function. The Pioneer DDJ-1000 is a simple plug and play controller so all I had to do is connect it straight to my laptop’s USB port. This was an easy process that took about 20 minutes to complete, including registering, and downloading etc. So the first thing I did was fire up the laptop to download the software from the Pioneer website. There was also a license key for a free copy of Rekordbox DJ. In the bag was a power adaptor, a USB cable, a 2 pin and 3 pin power lead, and a user manual.
