Free Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 Training Tutorial & Video Manual

Last updated 19 December, 2023

In this free Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 training tutorial and video manual, which runs to nearly two hours, you get a comprehensive talkthrough and demo of every single feature and function of the unit, exploring and demonstrating how each is used. By the end, you’ll learn everything there is to know about the operation of the Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000s.

Filmed in the same studios where Digital DJ Tips makes its premium, paid-for DJ training courses, the Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 Training Tutorial & Video Manual is the result of several weeks of our deep-diving into every single feature, function and integration this unit offers, and battling with all the manuals, official updates and Pioneer DJ support sites so you don’t have to!

Who this is for

Want to know the CDJ-3000s inside and out? This training is perfect for you.

If you own the CDJ-3000s and are puzzled by some of their features or are not sure how to start, or maybe you’re considering buying a pair and want a proper, detailed talkthrough of every feature…or perhaps you’ve been asked to DJ in a club that has them, this complete feature-length tutorial has what you need. Again, it’s completely free – you can watch the whole thing above or on YouTube, and you can ask our tutors questions underneath the video too.

Ad-free and straight to the point, this tutorial – like our similar tutorials for the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10, Pioneer DJ Opus Quad, Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ, Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX3, Denon DJ Prime 4, Denon DJ Prime 2, Denon DJ Prime Go, and Numark Mixstream Pro – is unlike anything else you’ll find out there, free or paid.

How to use this CDJ-3000 free training

This is presented as a single YouTube video, running nearly two hours. You can watch it directly from this page by clicking the video thumbnail above, or go to YouTube to watch it.

Wait, this is FREE?!

Yes, as with all our other similar video manuals (see above).

As a DJ school, we have nearly 40,000 students learning every aspect of DJing and music production with us. We make these free tutorials to help people get quickly up to speed with their gear because we don’t want lack of understanding of their DJ gear to get in the way of learning to be a DJ for our students. We think of these as “foundation courses” to take before buying one of our training courses.

Or look at it this way: Understanding your gear won’t make you a good DJ, but all good DJs understand their gear. So whether you decide to learn the actual skills of DJing with us or not, have this free training with our compliments – we hope you find it useful.

Your Next Step…

If you’re a pro-level DJ coming from other Pioneer DJ gear or another brand of DJ gear, this video will be all you need to get up to speed. But if you’re a beginner or intermediate DJ, a word of warning: This alone is not going to be enough to teach you how to DJ on the CDJ-3000. There are many skills successful DJs have, and mastering your gear is only one of them!

Pro or beginner, if you enjoy this free lesson and would like to take your DJing learning to the next step, here are two next steps for you among the courses available from us here at Digital DJ Tips, the world’s leading online school for DJs.

2 courses that go with your free CDJ-3000 training

  • The Complete DJ Course – Based on our Amazon best-selling book “Rock The Dancefloor!”, this course teaches the five big steps to DJing success, which are Gear, Music, Techniques, Performing, and Promoting Yourself. Having helped tens of thousands of students to become better DJs and DJ/producers, we know that this method is the fastest way to learn properly. This is the best course to take if you’re returning to DJing after a break, or brand new to this
  • Rekordbox Made Easy – The CDJ-3000 is “powered” by Rekordbox software. You’ll use it to prepare and analyse your music, to export your playlists to play on the CDJ-3000, and to prepare and sync your music to the cloud. You can even DJ directly from it with the CDJ-3000. If you’re a Pioneer DJ, you’ll be using Rekordbox for the rest of your DJing life, so it pays over and over again to learn it properly

Both of these courses represent a phenomenal investment in your DJing, and especially if you’re new or rusty around being a DJ, The Complete DJ Course is a proven route for DJs just like you to get up to speed, fast.
