About: CDJ

An Entity of Type: record label, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A CDJ is a specialized digital music player for DJing. Originally designed to play music from compact discs, many CDJs can play digital music files stored on USB flash drives or SD cards. In typical use, at least two CDJs are plugged into a DJ mixer. CDJs have jog wheels and pitch faders that allow manipulation of the digital music file similar to a vinyl record on a DJ turntable. Many have additional features such as loops and beat analysis that are not present on turntables. Additionally, some can function as DJ controllers to control the playback of digital files in DJ software running on a laptop instead of playing the files on the CDJ.

  • A CDJ is a specialized digital music player for DJing. Originally designed to play music from compact discs, many CDJs can play digital music files stored on USB flash drives or SD cards. In typical use, at least two CDJs are plugged into a DJ mixer. CDJs have jog wheels and pitch faders that allow manipulation of the digital music file similar to a vinyl record on a DJ turntable. Many have additional features such as loops and beat analysis that are not present on turntables. Additionally, some can function as DJ controllers to control the playback of digital files in DJ software running on a laptop instead of playing the files on the CDJ. Many pro audio companies such as Gemini Sound Products, Denon, Numark Industries, Stanton Magnetics, and Vestax produced DJ quality CD players. In 1993 Denon was the first to implement a 2 piece rack mounted dual-deck, variable-pitch, CD player with a jog wheel and instant cue button for DJs. It quickly became the industry standard and was widely adopted in most clubs and mobile DJs throughout the 90s up until 2004 when Pioneer made an impact with the CDJ-1000. Currently, Pioneer DJ CD players are now the most commonly found in dance clubs and are seen as the industry standard by many DJs. The Pioneer CDJ-400, CDJ-800, CDJ-850K, CDJ-1000, CDJ-900, CDJ-2000 and the latest model CDJ-3000 have a vinyl emulation mode that allows the operator to manipulate music on a CD as if it were on a turntable. Models released prior to the CDJ-1000 lacked this feature. Pioneer CDJs released after the CDJ-400 can play from USB sticks as well as CDs. Pioneer integrated its software rekordbox with the CDJs to prepare music with cue points, accurate BPM, and search/playlist functions. For unknown reasons, the Pioneer CDJ-300 is left out of most popular accounts on CDJs. (en)
  • Il CDJ (contrazione di CD ovvero compact disc e DJ ovvero disc jockey) è un riproduttore di CD audio, e negli ultimi modelli anche di supporti USB, progettato per andare incontro al lavoro del disc jockey. Il CDJ si propone come una rivisitazione in chiave moderna del giradischi, permettendo al dj di interfacciarsi fisicamente su tracce audio digitali. (it)
  • Um Compact Disc Jockey, ou CDJ, é um aparelho do tipo CD Player que possui recursos próprios para utilização por DJs na sua função de tocar músicas armazenadas em CD, DVD ou até Pen Drives. Os recursos mais comuns nos atuais aparelhos desse tipo incluem botões especiais para alteração de pitch, de retorno da faixa, de marcação de ponto (efeito cue) e looping. Além disso, alguns desses equipamentos possuem um recurso - conhecido como Master Tempo - que permite controlar o timbre da música sendo tocada, mantendo o timbre da voz e dos instrumentos mesmo quando o ritmo da música é acelerado ou desacelerado. Geralmente, os CDJs são usados aos pares, utilizados em conjunto com equipamentos de mixagem, permitindo que se realize a transição de uma música para outra de forma suave e imperceptível para o público. Com a popularização dos CDJs, os antigos toca-discos vem sendo gradativamente aposentados. Porém, DJs de turntablism continuam em alta com suas performances em vinil. (pt)
