I bought it after watching this video, been searching for a good review for a while and been watching your videos for a while now, was very happy when I saw this was uploaded. It is everthing you told us. Thank you for helping me out! You're great, keep up the great work. ( I just wanted you to know your video helped me)
I just purchased after watching your video. I must say this product is very, very, good. I wouldn't even consider this as a entry level. I've seen mobile Dj's using this monster
Kareem, as an intro to DJing controller...would you suggest this or the ERGO if they are at the same price point of $250? Thanks for the reviews and the answer if you get to this...
Can u help me. I got this model 10days ago and I need the net to install? When I heard its ready to play out of box. I don't have net so wtf do I do? £199.99 down drain
Great review, sir! I found a great deal on one was real unsure if it was something I could handle. Also, what's the name of the song you played during the demo.
Hey KJ, of the three whats my best option. I've been working off the Hercules DJ4 Set but I'm definitely open to change and potentially make a move to pioneer but I want to stay in this price range first before jumping to the SR. Great review Hercules DJ Console 4-MX Hercules DJ RMX 2 Pioneer DDJ-SB
Hi thanks for demonstration video. i have a question, in my country dj products are highly expensive due to taxes. i find 2 controller which suits what i need in slightly different price. the first one is native instruments traktor s2 mk1 (secondhand but still has weranty and 7 month old product) and the second one is pioneer ddj sb (new) which one do you think i should go with? Pioneer ddj sb (410 dollar), Native instruments s2 (471 dollar) Thanks.
I'm a beginenr and I've got the iPod Touch 5 which, besides the iPad, also works with DDJ WeGo2. Would you still redommend the DDJ SB? Not sure how often I'd use the iOS feature..
Which one should i buy? The Pioneer DDJ-SB or the Pioneer DDJ-SR, im a beginner, but i already want a really good controller which i can stick with. I already worked with virtual dj, but without a controller. So i know whats happening and how to do things, i just dont used a controller before.
yea i want to get the NS72 but ive never touched a dj pad before. so im thinking of getting Pioneer DDJ-SB to start out with. is it compatible with mac lap tops?
Hi m thinking of getting my self 1 of these but I m totally new just got a new intrest in djing so should I opt for this or could u prefer me what should I get
muhammad suhaim Yes, this is a great beginner controller... also check out the Pioneer DDJ-WeGO3, the Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 and Denon MC2000. All great beginner controllers... Thanks.
I'm stuck on which controller to get, either the Pioneer DDJ-SB or the Traktor S2? I'm just a beginner dj and want something that will be best for a beginner. What do you think?
They are both equally good for beginners. The DDJ-SB is more suited for Serato while the S2 is better for Traktor. The S2 also has more advanced features since it comes with the FULL version of Traktor while the DDJ-SB only comes with the Serato Intro version of the software... You will have to pay extra $100 to unlock all features...
***** Vague question, which program would be best for a beginner like me? Also, do you have to use the Serato software it comes with? I'm most likely just going to stick to one for a long time, so I want something that be be a better investment.
I think serato might be the easier program, but they both work nearly the same, so one isn't a huge jump over the other. S2 is the better investment though because it comes with the full featured software and you could stick with it longer if you decide to continue. Plus resale value would be better if you decide to give it up...
I purchased this for my daughters birthday in February. She started using it in May and after a few weeks the left turntable became very hard to turn. Any suggestions on why this happened?
It's because you only have the free version of VDJ... You need to buy the full version for it to work. This only works with Serato DJ Lite. Download that version and it will work.
Hi Kareem is it worth to upgrade your serato Dj to a Full version even if you are just starting on Djing? thanks in advance and your doing a really good Job on your videos... more power...
You simply need to hold the shift button whilst selecting the function. ie: To select the second sample bank you need to press and hold Shift and press Sample. It will swap from the first to second bank.
Are you going to do a review for the DDj-SB2? The only difference between them is that the SB2 has a few new features. I'm conflicted on whether I should get the Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 or the Pioneer DDJ-SB2. Please help!!!
Hi I'm really stuck on if to buy the pioneer ddj-sb or the mixtrack pro quad i know the quad has a 4 deck feature but it doesn't have the knob to fine adjust the volume of each deck, i prefer the big jog wheels on the ddj-sb and you can adjust the cross fader on the ddj-sb for straching but can't on the quad, overall i think i prefer the ddj-sb for looks but I'm not sure if this is because i come from a technic 1200 and mixer background, in a nut shell i want the better unit but do fell the mixtrack pro quad looks a little like a toy, this is just my fought.... PLEASE HELP.... THANKS
i heard the jogwheel stuck problem only happen on the first batch in the beginning of the year. is it true? cos it really effects my decision to choose the sb or the mixtrack pro 2
I am new to DJ'ing; let me start by stating that. I bought a dj2go numark controller just to make sure I could beatmatch and such things like that on a simple controller, basically to make sure I was okay with spending money on expensive controllers. Would you recommend this controller for a first gig, I would use this for the summer as well, so if you would let me know that would be great. Secondly, I absolutely hate HATE HATE!! the VDJLeLite shit that the Dj2Go came with. Is serato dj into that basic as well???
I like Serato Intro better than VDJ LE, but its still somewhat trimmed down from the real version. This controller would definitely work for a first gig. Good luck to you!
The Mixtrack Quad can use CD's and work without a computer, while the DDJ-SB is a computer-only Controller. They both get the job done, but it depends how you want to use it.
OK WHAT ABOUT THE JOG WHEEL BEING STUCK AND NOT MOVING AS FREELY AS THE LEFT JOG WHEEL-THE RIGHT JOG WHEEL BARELY MOVES WHILE THE LEFT ONE IS FINE-HOW DO I FIX THIS?
Hey Kareem, can you give me insight on how important the Gain Knob is when djing at house parties? I notice this and the Numark Mixtrack don't have them. Also, can the new DDJ-WeGO3 be used even if I don't have an iPad/IOS system? Thanks a lot bro you're doing some great work for everyone watching!
Hey. Thinking of getting myself a set. I'm only used to mixing on turntables. In terms of handling using the jog wheel and cueing, is it similar feel or steep learning curve?
+King Solo Still won't work. This does not have mixer inputs... You would need a Pioneer DDJ-SX for that or a Traktor Kontrol S4 which already has a built in A6 so you can simply plug in your turntables...
***** Thanks for the fast response! I didn't feel I needed 4 channels and decided to actually go for the NUMARK - MixtrackPro II. Good choice? Or would the DDJ_SB have been a better choice?
So with no levels or gains how do you match the sound? Yes I get serato has the levels but I mean off the controller? One tracks louder than the other but both up faders are all the way up? How do you match the sound levels? Thanks!
How does it integrate with Traktor Scratch Pro 2? Also, what other beginner DJ Controllers by Pioneer do you recommend and that integrate with Traktor Scratch Pro 2?
If you want to use Traktor, it is recommended that you get a Traktor created controller like the Traktor S2 or S4 since it will work with Traktor better than any Pioneer, Numark, or other DJ controller can. There will be the least amount of latency and the better overall control. With that being said, you can download the .TSI traktor mapping file for almost all Pioneer Controllers at the Pioneer DJ website. You then import this file into your Traktor Pro 2 Program, plug in the controller, and you're just about ready to play...
***** Thanks so much for the very informative reply. Didn't know that latency could possibly be an issue. But it makes sense. I will keep that in mind.
i currently have a ddj sb and its a really good controler however im looking to upgrade so something more complicated but not too expensive. any ideas?
Ermir Mitrushi They can both do the same things, so they are pretty much equal... Maybe since the Mixtrack Pro 3 is a bit newer, I would go with that...
+Gij2u Make sure you have the cue buttons pressed and you have the knobs for headphone volume and Cue/Master set correctly. You should hear something. Are you using Serato?
hello, my girlfriend would like to become a professional DJ, but she current has no experience. I'm going to buy her a DJ set within the next week or so I was looking at the numark mixtrack pro 3 and the pioneer ddj sb. what do you recommend thanks
i have a question i can't plug in my speakers because its with a subwoofer i can plug it in to an hercules dj instinct at the back can i plug it in the pioneer ddj sb? thanks for help
Thanks for the review, ive been looking at the sr lately, I already have a entry level controller, its not as good as the sb but I likd the extra functions you get when you upgrade with this, so I was thinking if I biught this and upgraded to serato dj its going to cost me around £300, when I can get the sr for about £500 maybe cheaper, just wondering if you think its worth me spending that extra £200? I would be upgrading to that or the sx in the future anyway? Thanks
***** hi sorry to bother you again, whats your opinions on the reloop products? I really like the look of the terminal mix 8, but stuck between which makd to get? As im only still a beginner the mix 8 would be too much of a step maybe? But the mix 4 could possibly be okay? So wondering if you could compare the mix 4 and the sr? Thanks
man, I should have get this instead of Numark MT3 it's really burn my budget, thanks for the review, so if I just get the intro software I can get most out of this controller right?
You can go to the website and download the free Serato DJ Intro software to make this work. Then you can upgrade to Serato DJ pro edition if you want to right online as well...
@djbooth can you tell if the pioneer sb or the pioneer sb2 which one is better to use? and one more thing,if i use the pioneer sb2 and uprade to full serato and use with vitrual dj would it have the same sound quality? please let me know ok.
Sorry, lots of things play into the sound quality factor. It is definitely NOT software dependent. It is more hardware dependent. If you have a DDJ-SB playing on a Serato DJ setup and a DDJ-SX playing on VDJ, then the VDJ is going to sound a bit better. But its all with the hardware, the computer, the system, and more... Not the software alone...
oh ok then,becAuse when i do scratch with the serato it sounds much heavier and better than when using a virtual dj,and i use my virtual dj on the numark ns7 ,but when i use it with serato it sounds much better
please can some 1 help me, i really want to get this controller but it says it requires windows 7 but i have a new laptop which is windows 8 would it still work ?? thanks
***** Now, the thing is that in order for the controller to work on serato DJ I have to either activate it or pay serato DJ just to use the advanced features on the DDJ-SB2 correct? because I couldn't get it to work on Serato DJ without it.
It only comes with Serato DJ intro and you have to purchase the license from Serato to get the Full Serato DJ features... Both DDJ-SB and SB2 are like that...
***** Yeah. I've told my co-worker about it and she won't believe me. She says that we got Serato DJ from the website for free. So she ends up saying "Let's just use Serato DJ intro instead" and in my head I was like "You should have listened to me to what i said to you." But thanks for the fast responses.
Go figger You can map the Launchpad to work with Serato DJ to launch clips or loops or cue points but that's about it. You can also use it with Ableton Bridge. Look that up.
+Qcam2004 It has slip Mode only if you purchase the full Serato DJ software. It only comes with Serato DJ Intro for free, but that does not have slip-mode...
I bought it after watching this video, been searching for a good review for a while and been watching your videos for a while now, was very happy when I saw this was uploaded. It is everthing you told us. Thank you for helping me out! You're great, keep up the great work.
( I just wanted you to know your video helped me)

Finally, DDJ-SB review from you. Thanks for this.
Also can you use virtual DJ infinity 2021 with this
Yes, works with both...
So you can use Serato DJ pro with this
Yes 👍🏼
When you go do that review for the Pioneer DDJ-SZ? I know you go do one and can't wait to see it.
and is this controller different than the controller u get when u buy the full version
I just purchased after watching your video. I must say this product is very, very, good. I wouldn't even consider this as a entry level. I've seen mobile Dj's using this monster
Is this good for starting out? I eventually want to move up to CDJs and a mixer
Yes, this is perfect for a beginner DJ!
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm definitely buying the ddj sb because i am a beginner and this will help tune me up for the advanced mixers in the future.
Grabbed one of these for $60 over the summer. I prefer to use Mixxx DJ instead of Serato.
Nice video dude.
Would this be recommended for doing small time shows without wanting to spend to much?
This would work for small parties but the DDJ-SR is even better for it...
Kareem, as an intro to DJing controller...would you suggest this or the ERGO if they are at the same price point of $250? Thanks for the reviews and the answer if you get to this...
Can u help me. I got this model 10days ago and I need the net to install? When I heard its ready to play out of box. I don't have net so wtf do I do? £199.99 down drain
Great review, sir! I found a great deal on one was real unsure if it was something I could handle. Also, what's the name of the song you played during the demo.
Hey KJ, of the three whats my best option. I've been working off the Hercules DJ4 Set but I'm definitely open to change and potentially make a move to pioneer but I want to stay in this price range first before jumping to the SR. Great review
Hercules DJ Console 4-MX
Hercules DJ RMX 2
Pioneer DDJ-SB
can this ddj sb work with full version serato dj software, or the cracked full version of serato dj software?
I don't know about the cracked version, but it works with full Serato DJ...
***** please is there any means i could use the ddj-sb with four decks either on virtual dj or serato dj. i really do enjoy mixing on 4 decks. thanks.
Female DJ Frizzie Nope... its only two decks. Must buy a new controller for four decks...
Female DJ Frizzie ff
I love this controller, it has everything a dj needs plus its light and small, u can take it anywhere. Portability is definitely a priority nowadays.
Hi thanks for demonstration video. i have a question, in my country dj products are highly expensive due to taxes. i find 2 controller which suits what i need in slightly different price. the first one is native instruments traktor s2 mk1 (secondhand but still has weranty and 7 month old product) and the second one is pioneer ddj sb (new) which one do you think i should go with?

What would you recommend the Pioneer DDJ-SB or the Numark Mixtrack Pro II?
@Polska Pete thanks bro, got the Pioneer 6 years ago 😂 good choice
Pioneer DDJ-SB or Reloop Beatmix 2? Which one has better components and sound quality?
is this good for producing?
I'm a beginenr and I've got the iPod Touch 5 which, besides the iPad, also works with DDJ WeGo2. Would you still redommend the DDJ SB? Not sure how often I'd use the iOS feature..
thanks for your answer!
Which one should i buy? The Pioneer DDJ-SB or the Pioneer DDJ-SR, im a beginner, but i already want a really good controller which i can stick with.
I already worked with virtual dj, but without a controller. So i know whats happening and how to do things, i just dont used a controller before.
***** well that was a fast reply, thank you :DD
Great explanatory video.Thanks so much! Is there such a thing as the "Perfect laptop" to accompany this ?
yea i want to get the NS72 but ive never touched a dj pad before. so im thinking of getting Pioneer DDJ-SB to start out with. is it compatible with mac lap tops?
Which would you recommend the pioneer ddj sb or the pioneer ddj ergo?
***** i want to buy this controller but i watch some videos about this controller have the jog wheel stuck problem, what do you think about this?
can u play all 3 effects at the same time and use that parameter
cool. probably the best entry level controller I've seen yet
Hi m thinking of getting my self 1 of these but I m totally new just got a new intrest in djing so should I opt for this or could u prefer me what should I get
muhammad suhaim Yes, this is a great beginner controller... also check out the Pioneer DDJ-WeGO3, the Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 and Denon MC2000. All great beginner controllers... Thanks.

I purchased this for my daughters birthday in February. She started using it in May and after a few weeks the left turntable became very hard to turn. Any suggestions on why this happened?
I just asked her, nothing was spilled in it. It's still covered by the warranty, so I'm taking it back to 123dj in Chicago.
Any platter issues reported lately for this unit? Saw many posts on the web with platters getting stuck.
Thanks for the reply back. I'm gonna go for the Vestax VCI -380. I also enjoyed your review of that one too.
So would u recommend this deck for beginners ?
If I'm just looking to get into this would you recommend this? I like know completely nothing.
Just wondering how you learned to use a controller and mix together music?
Do you think that the DDJ-SB/SB2 is a good controller for beginner DJ's?
Yes... we said so in this review...
pioneer ddj-sb vs. numark mix track pro 3, of the two which one would u grab as a beginner and best bang for your buck?
amwooka They're the same....that's why its so hard for you to choose! haha.
My jog wheels are a bit to fast and loose how can I fix that ?
Pioneer DDJ-SB or Numark Mixtrack Pro 3? Looking to purchase my first controller but not sure on which one to purchase
Oliver Connett They are essentially the same, so you can't go wrong with either one....
Thank you for uploading all your videos, I will be buying this for a first step in to mixing when would I know to upgrade to say the ddj sx2
You will know when it reaches the limits of what you are trying to do. You'll definitely know...
Question how come my controller just work only 10 minutes if i use the Virtual dj? also if i use serato my controller never work
It's because you only have the free version of VDJ... You need to buy the full version for it to work. This only works with Serato DJ Lite. Download that version and it will work.
Hi Kareem is it worth to upgrade your serato Dj to a Full version even if you are just starting on Djing? thanks in advance and your doing a really good Job on your videos... more power...
its worth it if you have a controller that can take advantage of the upgrade. This controller can't do all of the features in Serato DJ by itself...
If you did purchase a sera to DJ, how do you access the roll and bank features you talked about?
You can't on this controller... you need another controller to go along with it.
You simply need to hold the shift button whilst selecting the function. ie: To select the second sample bank you need to press and hold Shift and press Sample. It will swap from the first to second bank.
Does it work with a phone or iPad
Would you recommend this or the Mixtrack Quad?
Hey I got a question..... Do I have to buy a software to used it? Or does it bring one?
It comes with the software...
Are you going to do a review for the DDj-SB2? The only difference between them is that the SB2 has a few new features. I'm conflicted on whether I should get the Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 or the Pioneer DDJ-SB2. Please help!!!
+Ken Chuck They are both like the same so it doesn't matter which one you choose. They are both great beginner controllers.
And also the ddj sb2 has trim while the sb does not.
Hi I'm really stuck on if to buy the pioneer ddj-sb or the mixtrack pro quad i know the quad has a 4 deck feature but it doesn't have the knob to fine adjust the volume of each deck, i prefer the big jog wheels on the ddj-sb and you can adjust the cross fader on the ddj-sb for straching but can't on the quad, overall i think i prefer the ddj-sb for looks but I'm not sure if this is because i come from a technic 1200 and mixer background, in a nut shell i want the better unit but do fell the mixtrack pro quad looks a little like a toy, this is just my fought.... PLEASE HELP.... THANKS
Is there a difference between this one and the DDJ-We Go ? :) what is it?
Shaggy HG They can do the same things but they just look and feel different...
Very informative thanks man. Just picked up a DDJ-SB today from Guitar Center, got any recs on where to get a legit case or bag for it?
***** Check UDG or Magma Bags...
Will do, thanks brotha
Which is better? Pioneer DDJ SB or stanton DJC4? Thanks!
If you are going to use Virtual DJ, then the DJC4 is better but if you are using Serato DJ Intro, then the DDJ-SB is better in my opinion...
***** thanks!
can the controller upgrade to full version of serato, r it only works for serato intro
Hi. Would you recommend this over the denon mc2000?
No, I recommend them equally. The MC2000 has better build quality and the DDJ-SB has nicer jog wheels and pads.
Great quality review! Credits to the channel.
i heard the jogwheel stuck problem only happen on the first batch in the beginning of the year. is it true? cos it really effects my decision to choose the sb or the mixtrack pro 2
I never saw this happen personally, so I don't know...
I am new to DJ'ing; let me start by stating that. I bought a dj2go numark controller just to make sure I could beatmatch and such things like that on a simple controller, basically to make sure I was okay with spending money on expensive controllers. Would you recommend this controller for a first gig, I would use this for the summer as well, so if you would let me know that would be great. Secondly, I absolutely hate HATE HATE!! the VDJLeLite shit that the Dj2Go came with. Is serato dj into that basic as well???
I like Serato Intro better than VDJ LE, but its still somewhat trimmed down from the real version. This controller would definitely work for a first gig. Good luck to you!
heyy Kareem. would you recommend this over a numark mixtrack quad deck? thanks!
The Mixtrack Quad can use CD's and work without a computer, while the DDJ-SB is a computer-only Controller. They both get the job done, but it depends how you want to use it.
OK WHAT ABOUT THE JOG WHEEL BEING STUCK AND NOT MOVING AS FREELY AS THE LEFT JOG WHEEL-THE RIGHT JOG WHEEL BARELY MOVES WHILE THE LEFT ONE IS FINE-HOW DO I FIX THIS?
Hey Kareem, can you give me insight on how important the Gain Knob is when djing at house parties? I notice this and the Numark Mixtrack don't have them. Also, can the new DDJ-WeGO3 be used even if I don't have an iPad/IOS system? Thanks a lot bro you're doing some great work for everyone watching!
Hey if I buy this and download serato full free, so will it work with it??? Kindly reply asap. I have to order it. Thanks.
***** Nah, I meant like torrents and stuff :P
After watching the Review- what is your bottom line- for hobbie
reloop beatmix
numark mixtrack pro2
pioneer ddj sb
thanx
+ere187ere They are all just about equals... I probably like the MC2000 the best because its better built...
+DJbooth DJ's Booth - Proops 4 your knowledge share ! tooday just got MC2000 .... now im looking 4 you tutorials for basic use and dj.. thanx !
+ere187ere Cool, go watch my review! I reviewed it but its been a while now! lol...
Saved me from making a mistake. Thank you.
Can I use ddj SB with virtual DJ?
yes, if you buy the full version of it you can
Chris Sanchez how is Traktor Le working about to download it
No, I had VDJ installed and mixer didn't work. The DJ intro software wants net connection and I don't have one so I can't install it grrrr
Deejay KosmaV
can you do a video on how to upgrade it to the serato DJ
Is there away to adjust the feel of the jog wheels
tarfari Herry No, there is not.
***** adjusting the "feel", is adjusting the amount of tension on the jog wheel itself
Hey. Thinking of getting myself a set. I'm only used to mixing on turntables. In terms of handling using the jog wheel and cueing, is it similar feel or steep learning curve?
If you can spin on turntables, then you can DJ on anything!
Can the ddj_sb use with virtual dj
Yes, it can work with VDJ.
i have official dj headphones that im gonna desighn
Hi djbooth I'm big fan of yours first. Second, can I map this pioneer to use it with traktor pro and my 1200's ? Pretty much use it as just a mixer
+King Solo Thanks! It can work with Traktor, but by itself... you can't plug your turntables into it so that won't work with Traktor...
Thanks djbooth. What about if i use the traktor s10 to connect my techniques and use the pioneer ddjs as mixer?
+King Solo Still won't work. This does not have mixer inputs... You would need a Pioneer DDJ-SX for that or a Traktor Kontrol S4 which already has a built in A6 so you can simply plug in your turntables...
I have an SB and was wondering what the kensington lock can be used for and how I can use it. Thanks.
Do a google search on kensington lock... its just a small cable that you use to make sure no one runs off with it...
Which is better this, or NUMARK MIXTRACK QUAD Digital Mix?
***** Thanks for the fast response! I didn't feel I needed 4 channels and decided to actually go for the NUMARK - MixtrackPro II. Good choice? Or would the DDJ_SB have been a better choice?
***** awesome, thank you :)
So with no levels or gains how do you match the sound? Yes I get serato has the levels but I mean off the controller? One tracks louder than the other but both up faders are all the way up? How do you match the sound levels? Thanks!
You can use the faders to control how loud each channel goes... Don't put them all the way up!
How does it integrate with Traktor Scratch Pro 2? Also, what other beginner DJ Controllers by Pioneer do you recommend and that integrate with Traktor Scratch Pro 2?
If you want to use Traktor, it is recommended that you get a Traktor created controller like the Traktor S2 or S4 since it will work with Traktor better than any Pioneer, Numark, or other DJ controller can.

***** Thanks so much for the very informative reply. Didn't know that latency could possibly be an issue. But it makes sense. I will keep that in mind.
How much is this currently???
Is this a good controller for starters?
***** Its ordered. cant wait to start djing! :D
***** Kinda stupid question of me, didnt hear that you said it was a good for beginners at the end.
great video KJ. can you do a review of the Behringer cmd studio 4a controller?
Advice on which speakers to get? Low ish price as i am just starting out
yeah loudspeskers i can do small house parties with
thanks for the help :)
Are the jog wheels are the same as the ddj-sr?
*****
which do you recommend between
the ddj-sb or the behringer or the behringer cmd studio 4a
i currently have a ddj sb and its a really good controler however im looking to upgrade so something more complicated but not too expensive. any ideas?
+Lorand Zonda Sure, check out the DDJ-SR controller. It is the logical next step up!
+DJbooth DJ's alright thanks
+DJbooth DJ's and is this compatible with virtual dj?
+Qcam2004 Yes it is...
can u help me what to bay a ddj sr or numark mixtra pro3 and some reason plz . U are the best
Ermir Mitrushi They can both do the same things, so they are pretty much equal... Maybe since the Mixtrack Pro 3 is a bit newer, I would go with that...
Ermir Mitrushi ddj sr all day
Hey when I try to add a track to serato dj it says could not import track QuickTime not installed... What the hell does that mean?
+Qcam2004 You might need the newest version of itunes...
+DJbooth DJ's where did you get your rca cables?
+Gaming Man I think from Guitar Center... Metal connectors...
How do you hear audio out of the headphones? Plugged in and no sound
+Gij2u Make sure you have the cue buttons pressed and you have the knobs for headphone volume and Cue/Master set correctly. You should hear something. Are you using Serato?
Thank you. Yes, We are using Serato. My son is learning to DJ and the audio is still giving us a problem
How do you down loadthe software i have one but ni luck how to download it i had bought it from some one
go to serato.com and download serato DJ Lite for free...
Would you recommend this (Pioneer DDJ-SB) or Hercules DJ Control AIR+ for someone who want to start DJing?
Or maybe DDJ-Wego?
hello, my girlfriend would like to become a professional DJ, but she current has no experience. I'm going to buy her a DJ set within the next week or so I was looking at the numark mixtrack pro 3 and the pioneer ddj sb. what do you recommend thanks
Walter White They are both basically the same... Pick either one and you'll be good to go really...
i have a question i can't plug in my speakers because its with a subwoofer i can plug it in to an hercules dj instinct at the back can i plug it in the pioneer ddj sb? thanks for help
its just a plug for in your phone so i dont know its possible
:(
Jay Vd Berg you can get a 3.5mm jack converter online which goes from white & red RCA to an input for you 3.5mm jack :)
Do you have to have rca audio cables in order to use serato? i'm purchasing them soon for now but at house parties I use virtual dj
Yes, you will need some form of RCA cables to play speakers...
I don't have the disk that came with it were can I download the program for my controller to work
The serato dj website... you need serato dj intro for free...
+DJbooth DJ's oh okay but i have to purchase the full version?
Correct
I bough one 3 weeks ago brand new...I just can't seem to get the microphone to work...is there a specific cable for the mic that I have to get?
whats good fam i have a question if i was to purchase this item can i connect it to virtual dj??
Yes, but you need the Pro edition VDJ and you need to use the mapping file to make it work...
Hi I'm looking to buy a dj controller what should I get the pioneer ddj sb pioneer ddj ergo or the numark mixtrack pro 2
Kai Cooper They are all good. There is no real winner here. Pick the one that would work best for you really...
Very informative video. I'm glad I watched this before making a decision.
Thanks for the review, ive been looking at the sr lately, I already have a entry level controller, its not as good as the sb but I likd the extra functions you get when you upgrade with this, so I was thinking if I biught this and upgraded to serato dj its going to cost me around £300, when I can get the sr for about £500 maybe cheaper, just wondering if you think its worth me spending that extra £200? I would be upgrading to that or the sx in the future anyway? Thanks
Good plan, thanks!
***** hi sorry to bother you again, whats your opinions on the reloop products? I really like the look of the terminal mix 8, but stuck between which makd to get? As im only still a beginner the mix 8 would be too much of a step maybe? But the mix 4 could possibly be okay? So wondering if you could compare the mix 4 and the sr? Thanks
man, I should have get this instead of Numark MT3 it's really burn my budget, thanks for the review, so if I just get the intro software I can get most out of this controller right?
Yup, that's all you need and it comes with it...
I want to get this for mixvibes cross software and it says that it's supports this controller. Do you know anything about mixvibes software?
Yes, mixvibes is very good too, but just not as widely used as Serato and Traktor. But it works very well.
Do i need to purchase the full version of serato to work or can i get the free version? It's cause i got a mac that doesn't have a cd drive
You can go to the website and download the free Serato DJ Intro software to make this work. Then you can upgrade to Serato DJ pro edition if you want to right online as well...
@djbooth can you tell if the pioneer sb or the pioneer sb2 which one is better to use?
and one more thing,if i use the pioneer sb2 and uprade to full serato and use with vitrual dj would it have the same sound quality? please let me know ok.
The SB2 is better because it has more new features and the gain knobs at the top. Both Serato and VDJ would have about the same sound quality...
@ djbooth no i think the full serato version has a better sound quality ask anybody for sure.
Sorry, lots of things play into the sound quality factor. It is definitely NOT software dependent. It is more hardware dependent. If you have a DDJ-SB playing on a Serato DJ setup and a DDJ-SX playing on VDJ, then the VDJ is going to sound a bit better. But its all with the hardware, the computer, the system, and more... Not the software alone...
oh ok then,becAuse when i do scratch with the serato it sounds much heavier and better than when using a virtual dj,and i use my virtual dj on the numark ns7 ,but when i use it with serato it sounds much better
please can some 1 help me, i really want to get this controller but it says it requires windows 7 but i have a new laptop which is windows 8 would it still work ?? thanks
Would you ever review the DDJ-SB2 or is it too similar to this one?
Probably not... its too late and too similar...
***** Now, the thing is that in order for the controller to work on serato DJ I have to either activate it or pay serato DJ just to use the advanced features on the DDJ-SB2 correct? because I couldn't get it to work on Serato DJ without it.
It only comes with Serato DJ intro and you have to purchase the license from Serato to get the Full Serato DJ features... Both DDJ-SB and SB2 are like that...
***** Yeah. I've told my co-worker about it and she won't believe me. She says that we got Serato DJ from the website for free. So she ends up saying "Let's just use Serato DJ intro instead" and in my head I was like "You should have listened to me to what i said to you." But thanks for the fast responses.
can i hook up my launch pad with the pionner sb and dj?
Go figger You can map the Launchpad to work with Serato DJ to launch clips or loops or cue points but that's about it. You can also use it with Ableton Bridge. Look that up.
***** thanks
if I have a desk computer and a laptop can I install intro on both? Or is it a one-time key gen type thing?
+TheFTLTRAVELER You can install it on as many machines as you want...
+DJbooth DJ's does the vinyl "slip", is it like slip mode on the big brother controllers (like the sz)?
+Qcam2004 It has slip Mode only if you purchase the full Serato DJ software. It only comes with Serato DJ Intro for free, but that does not have slip-mode...
+DJbooth DJ's ah ok I see thank you
+DJbooth DJ's ok this last question may sound retarded, but if it's not iOS compatible, will you be able to use it with your iTunes music library?
Pioneer DDJ-SB2 DJ-controller or Pioneer DDJ-RB DJ controller
please answer.
The DDJ-RB is the better buy because it comes with the full Rekordbox DJ software
DJbooth DJ's • Thanks for answering😄
This or the Numark Mixtrack. pro or Hrecules 4mx
***** Thanks! Your help is appreciated
