Pioneer CDJ-400: Issuing a final blow to vinyl

Right, we’re sticking our neck out here.

There will be people reading this who will tell you we’re wrong, ignorant and just plain stupid.

But hear us out: there are compelling reasons why we think 12-inch format music has had its day.

This makes them easily replaceable, too.

So what are you waiting for?

But it doesn’t just end there.

But that’s not all, you might even connect the 400 to a computer, via USB.

This, in turn, allows you to control a MIDI-compliant piece of software, for exampleTraktor DJ studio.
