>>106485093>Pioneer DJ seems to have discontinued its flagship CDJ-3000 players—a move many in the industry saw coming. The news first surfaced on Reddit, where multiple distributors confirmed they can no longer place orders for the CDJ-3000, marking its end of production.>While AlphaTheta (Pioneer DJ’s parent company) has not announced details or a release date for the successor, speculation is already running wild. Many online discussions suggest the next model could be called the “CDJ-3000X” and will carry the AlphaTheta branding.
What's the point of these things?I know DJs only get them so they can fiddle with the knobs and look like they're doing something other than hitting play on their pre-mixed setlist
>>106485208I mean, the idea is not to use pre-mixed setlists. If you use them then it obviously makes no sense to use these machines for anything but aesthetics.
Why do companies do this?They discontinue industry standard equipment and then quickly walk back after counterfeits flood the market, same shit happens to sony with the MDR-7506s all the time
