Finally gonna pull the plug, sell my DSLR + Quest 3 VR headset and hopefully be able to finance a Pioneer XDJ-RX3 to level up my own and @Harkat’s DJ skills.

Check so Pioneer didn’t brick the hardware and require you to sub to some shit, bro.

That’s a thing?? Subscription to recordbox I can understand but bricking it?

I don’t think it’s a thing for that specific model, but for older ones. But yeah, insanely scummy tactics. I assume they will continue going in this direction, business-wise.

Jaysus, thanks for sharing - I considered the RX-RR and similar models that are affected because $$.

Edit: this being said the older hardware still supports Recordbox 6 without any issues ref. the video.

Yeah, if you can find a Rekordbox 6 install, you can use that. I would not recommend hooking the hardware up to an internet connection at all though, if you’re going for an older one.

Also, if you get one of these old models used, it could well be that it’s already been “bricked” AKA registered in some database at Pioneer DJ, just fyi.

Nooooo, c’mon man. Have you not learnt from the mistakes of other men like myself? The lesson being never sell your audio gear.

Congrats tho on the kid tho I guess, I sold my pioneer CDJ2000nxs2 players for marriage……my technical 1210 mk2’s years prior to fund dreams with a Persian honey half way around the globe….man. Wish I had all that audio gear still, trust
