Bill Holland: Welcome back to Gearwire.Com. I'm Bill Holland, and we are live in Anaheim at Winter NAMM 2008, and right now we're looking at the CDJ-400's from Pioneer Pro DJ. I'm here with Davey Dave, one of the marketing reps for Pioneer. Now, what's different about these? Obviously, these are some sort of a lower -- I guess not lower end but more compact version of your pro [OVERLAPPING].

DAVEY DAVE: It's more compact, a little bit more -- a little bit more affordable if you will but it's basically the next-level CDJ, and when I say "next-level" I mean that not only can you play CDs or MP3s on CD but you can also play music files off of a flash drive or even external hard drive, and you do that by plugging into the onboard USB port here. So, if you have a bunch of MP3s or music on a little portable flash drive, just plug it right in and you're ready to go.

BILL HOLLAND: Cool. Now what -- So that's basically for MP3s right? Just loads it right up and then - Now what if you had -- you said hard drive. You could throw an entire portable hard drive on there.

DAVEY DAVE: You can throw a portable hard drive on there, a flash drive. You can even use an MP3 player, any kind of MP3 player that stores MP3s. What the other cool thing about this is that it also can control software, music software, so if you don't want to use the CD drive, if you don't want to use the USB drive, you can actually use the different buttons and platter to control software such as let's say Serato or any type of music -- popular music software, and that goes through the MIDI.

BILL HOLLAND: That's awesome. So if you had Serato, instead of using the control vinyl, you can use the CDJs.

DAVEY DAVE: Exactly, and you can still use the loop function and the cue function and things like that.

BILL HOLLAND: Awesome. All right, well that's really pretty cool. We will be back with more on Gearwire.Com from NAMM 2008 in a little bit in Anaheim. I'm Bill Holland, and we are at the Pioneer Pro DJ booth. Back with more on Gearwire.Com.
