An excellent digital turntable. It has a USB port which allows you to carry your music in USB sticks for greater mobility and in addition to this, the CDJ-350 is totally rekordbox compatible so you can use it to organize your music library for each peroformance. You can create a loop with the in and out buttons and cut them into 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc. of a loop. It can be used as a midi controller in conjuction with any dj software of your liking like traktor or virtual dj (this are the ones I have tested). With it's vinyl mode, you can use the turntable for scratching, although if this is the main skill you use in your performances, I would highly recommend to evaluate other options, cause the jogwheel is a little smaller than the CDJ 800, 850, 900 and so on... But it has the same feel as the jogwheel of the CDJ 400 so I can tell you, scratching is harder but not impossible. Additional to all this, you can create playlists on the go, saving valuable time when on the stage trying to search your beats in a big library which can be read from a CD/CD-RW, a USB stick or directly from a laptop with DJ software. The display is really helpful when beatmatching with a squence step graphic that shows visually and accuratelly each beat of the song. Last but not least a love it or hate it feature: The BPM lock, which allows you to set a master tempo so you don't have to adjust the platter and the pitch slider to beat match, this is a really controversial feature since some think that this cuts the escence of Djing and some others think that this is the result of the advance of technology and embrace it... Either way, the good news is that this turntable even when it has the BPM lock feature it has the pitch slider and the jogwheel as well so you have the leave it or take it option here.
In my opinion, this CDJ-350 is better than the 400 and others in it's range for two main reasons:
1) The compatibility with rekordbox. And by this I really mean with all dj software in general, because this feature allows you to have Pioneer's technology that has been strictly reserved for the CDJ-900 and the CDJ-2000 until now, and at a more than reasonable price, this means that when you are ready to upgrade your gear you will be more than familiarized with a more complex setup, giving you the upper hand with the learning curve.
2) Even when you can find in the market other digital players with similar features for lower prices, I think that buying this one is a great deal when you stop and think about quality, of course that if you take good care of your equipment no matter the brand it is likely to last for years, but with this equipment you have that extra confidence that is peak technology and durability, not to mention a world standard.
Hope this helps!
