I got a Traktor S3 MK3 when just getting into mixing. Now I'm playing in clubs, I really wish I had've gone for this for rekordbox and Pioneer CDJ fluidity... Not to mention how much better the FX are. An independent filter on each channel seems like a godsend considering on the S2 it's part of the effect bank, where only a single effect can be used at any one time.

I already own a Hercules Inpulse 300 and was looking at these with a view to buying one. Then, came across your video on Dec 12th and went out next day and bought one on the strength of this demo and review. Setup was real quick and was mixing in a few minutes. I found it much easier to beat mix with this than my current Inpulse 300. I really like it. A couple of negatives though. 1: This deck has to be plugged directly into the Laptop’s USB port, as it doesn’t work with a USB Hub. 2: Rekordbox software is Ver6 and the software licence I got will not be accepted, as they stopped licences with Ver5. So, I had to have “Free Plan” and with that, you do not get full use of your controller, which is rather unfair, after paying nearly £300. So, buyers beware.

@noelpaganotti 4 года назад

I got a ddj 200, and I really like it, I thought it was a good idea if you just want to use it for fun (I'm using the DJAY app with Spotify), but unfortunately I felt that I didn't have enough buttons for everything, and after seeing this it makes so much more sense. I only have 8 pads for each side, Top 4, loop, Bottom 4 set up cues. If you want to do this as a hobby and only fun (AND I MEAN JUST FUN, FOR YOURSELF AND SOME SIMPLE EDITS "You can still get complex with practice, but it'll get kind of annoying the limitations), but if you want to get the 400, for hobbies, parties with your friends, or learn how to be a DJ. The 400 is an immense upgrade from the 200 (for just 100 dollars), so think about it. It does have its limitations the 200, but its 100 dollars cheaper, it works just fine, but limitations.

Would love to buy myself one of these toys just for fun (home DJing, maybe some backyard gigs but definitely not clubs). Cannot decide between DDJ-400 and Traktor S2 MK3. The forums are not helpful either: all they say is to decide based on the software I’d like to use. But the thing is that I don’t know about that either! I kinda prefer the look of Traktor controllers, but DDJ-400 seems to be built of better materials than S2 MK3. Also people say that Traktor software is hopelessly falling behind the others, lacking features and its development being slow. If I owned an iPad that would decide in Traktor’s favor, but I don’t and not planning to have one. Serato is out of question: I don’t want a piece of crippleware that I have to pay an extra $100 to unlock. Also I’m not planning to scratch - I’d play some deep house / progressive / trance. So what would you suggest? Total DJ noob here, but used to play around with DAW’s and make some music a while ago.

@davidlogan8905 5 лет назад

Anybody else have an issue with the channel faders? My mate has one and when you lower the channel fader to, say, 70%, there's a pretty noticeable decrease in volume... more than you would expect. *Not an issue with the different options on fader curve.* It seems like the unit imposes an extra (decreasing) volume fade for some as yet unknown reason. In the end it's impossible to do any sharp or fast cuts with channel fader because while you are moving the fader up 2, 3 or 4 times between beats, the unit is cutting the volume and you don't get the right result in the output. To put this in Pioneer transform effect terms: you can only do 1/1 fader cut, even a 1/2 fader cuts get lost in an overly attenuated mess, let alone the 1/4 and 1/8 cuts. Is this an actual issue with this particular unit, or does the DDJ 400 just have extremely poor channel faders? The cross fader is fine, but the channel faders are almost useless... even a slow fade will produce a more attenuated sound. Even with a normal curve, having the fader at 70% sounds like a proper fader at 40%. Maddening stuff.

We're planning on doing a comparison video but it all comes down to the software. The controllers are a very similar build.

Rekordbox has more features available but its also more complex for beginner DJs.

can you use this with virtual dj?

@klausmogensen8691 6 лет назад

The DDJ-400 now also works with Virtual DJ. So you are no longer forced to use it with Rekordbox DJ

@booxwee3804 6 лет назад

Klaus Mogensen But rekordbox is so much better, dont see any reason to use virtual dj.

@klausmogensen8691 6 лет назад

Edkush I disagree. RB has come along way, but it hasn't cought up with VDJ yet. It's way to closed, it doesn't have nearly as many features, options and settings as VDJ, it only supports Pioneer hardware, and most importantly: it doesn't have a scripting language, so you can't (re)program it to do basically anyrhing you want like you can with VDJ Apart from that it feels a bit sluggish in use compared to VDJ, and it's not as stable But Pioneer are putting in a lot of effort into RB, and have long ago surpassed Serato IMO They are currently implementing a lot of VDJ features, like Lyrics, graphics on top of audio and lighting control, so at some point RB may be compareable to VDJ - but not yet

Rekordbox 5.4 is miles ahead of vdj

@klausmogensen8691 6 лет назад

I very much disagree. RB is not yet close to VDJ when it comes to feature set VDJ has an extreme amout of functionality (I have personally created about 100 youtube videos showing some of it), and even though RB has started copying a lot of these features from VDJ (like the lyrics plugin, the light control, and lately the automatic loop feature) RB is still missing a whole lot of features to make it to VDJs feature level - the most important one IMO being the lack of a scripting language in RB But RB has other things going for it - the most important one being that you use the same software / environment for preparing files for the club and playing them on CDJs, as you do for a laptop / controller setup. So if you are a club DJ and expect to do a lot of your gigs on CDJs without laptop, RB is probably the way to go If you are a more allround / mobile DJ VDJ is king IMO I currently rate the big 4 like this: 1. Virtual DJ 2. Rekordbox 3. Traktor (looking forward to digging into v3) 4. Serato (they have really been left behinds the last few years - v2 was a huge disappointment)

What is the best starter controller?

@calamity075 3 года назад

Not a starter, just getting back in to it. Good controller for people on a low budget, couldn't pay much more so had to compromise. It serves it's purpose well. I do miss the 4 channels but hey whatever

@julianmackenzie6378 6 лет назад

Nice review mate. Brought the sb3 6 weeks ago after heaps of research and it's great. At the start of this review I was thinking maybe I'd made a mistake and should get this one, but cheers for clearing it up that it wouldn't be much of an "upgrade" really

I just got a ddj 400 for Christmas and the vid helped a lot with my skills, I hope I become a pro dj when I get older,if I can I'll make my DJ nickname DJkat2, I can't get my hopes up yet but using my ddj is helping me get there, thank you for the help. 👍

@messirocker813 4 года назад

DDJ SB3 .. looks similar. .. are both at same level ?other than the loop option buttons

@hot4futureyears2come 5 лет назад

Getting one today. Thanks Jamie. i am a veteran turntableist /DJ who plays mostly with two turntable set ups . but having a small 'to-go' kit is really cool . thanks for the review

@danz10001 5 лет назад

do you like it and would you recommend for large events??

@Icevampir 6 лет назад

I hope that we get one above DDJ-1000. Like DDJ-1X00. Where we get a normal sized cdj display on each deck and the ability to control multiple rb fx from the controller (not 1 like DDJ-1000). But let them fix that nasty "beat fx on master = hearable audio lag" bug in the DDJ-1000 first. The official announcement from Pioneer (on their HP) is "mid may - end juni" --> still not solved

@dominikkal1994 6 лет назад

ProudTiger the bug is already fixed! Just download the new rekordbox version and the new firmware for the ddj 1000

@RAYSHIO 5 лет назад

cool review! I have a question. I have monitors connected to my UA apollo twin audio interface. So I want to use my interface instead of ddj400's internal. is it possible?

@relaxingsounds1386 2 года назад

This is all so confusing. What version of Rekordbox comes with the DDJ400? Do I have to buy a full version of Rekordbox software to utilize the full functionality of this thing?? Confused.

@rojeio 5 лет назад

I rather the RB I Have this controller and the pitch control does not seem to change the tone of the song and also headphones seem to be not working to well, and to many loop options I just need one
