wow man they upgraded it very well by adding gain/trim to each channel/led level meters/4 deck control and pad effects.they also added a red led sticker on job wheels:)
I love the part in the vid when the guy is walking down the street with the unit under his arm. If you did this where I live in Middlesbrough, you would get a smack in the chops and it stolen in about 5 mins!! Nice product though.
Learned how to use a controller with the SB series (my friend had either the 2 or 3) and saw the SB2 in a pawn shop a few years ago and picked it up for $120USD. Still have it, though the BPM knobs are a bit wonky from some crazy nights! Works great and just recently got a Decksaver for it so it stays that way. Now I also own a Gold Edition XDJ-XZ and at home route my SB2 through it for friends to be able to mix on for B2B!
TRIM!!! finally :) this in my opinion was the main thing missing from the SB, maybe i can flog mine second hand and get the new one. Happy for the additional channel control as well.
Does this have a slight humming sound when plugged into speakers? I noticed this with the SR units. Hopefully this has been fixed. There is a noticeable feedback hum while it's powered on...
can someone tell me what is the point of the LEDs in the platters if no one uses them? I have not see one video all night after searching to see if the platter LEDs do anything at all. I was hoping for a" tape mark" for scratching, but I am not seeing it.
DDJ-SB 1 works great with 4 decks to ...The only thing i see better here are the VU's Meters and the TRIM...the rest i really dont care about it ! But let's give this thing a try:)
I need help! I just bought the DDJ-SB2, but I'm having trouble connecting to Serato dj. When I connect the Dj controller to the computer Serato says "Fail to connect audio" What can I do ??
i have the SB2 but the left cue button stays on even if i press on same to put it off. so cant really pre-listen to the music on deck 2(both deck plays together) when the 1st deck is playing. am using serato lite. to note that when using virtual DJ, the issue doesnt exist. is there any option that i need to check on the serato app or something like that?
When I connect my ddj sb2 the audio stops working , it might help me ? If it is not connected and put some music to play is in Setaro dj intro or media player works and connect to ddj sb2 the sound stops working
+Lucid Mask That's what I hate about all of these pimp companies, they continue to put out more products each year with a newer version right around the corner. This is our latest and greatest controller. .....uh I mean until you buy it and a month later it's old news. Pioneer like all the rest just pimping us all. One love my friend. Dj Malarky out.😎
I’ve had technics and lugged around records from packed parties to clubs. Used serato with this turntables. Sold turntables years ago and now just looking for something to mess with at home. Is this good enough for those that have turntable experience?
so what is your opinion in terms of this controller vs getting the numark mixtrack pro 3. they have similarities but taking biases away what makes the pioneer stand out against the numark?
+SoundofPhiladelphia Finally got round to setting the controller up and putting it through its paces. As good as it is, a few things struck me. 1. The VU could have been a bit bigger, only 3 green, 1 amber and 1 red light to monitor the output. 2. The pitch sliders could have been longer. Found it difficult to match BPMs at times. 3. The mic volume knob is situated on the left side of the controller next to the mic and headphone sockets, and is the smallest volume button I have ever seen!
So, I've had the original Numark Mixtrack Pro for almost 3 years. I just recently decided to upgrade to the Pioneer DDJ-SB2. Although the Numark was a well built, durable and reliable controller, some things just started to bug me over the years: 1. It doesn't have gain knobs. Seriously, that's kind of essential for a DJ!! It's almost impossible to adjust the gain manually with your mouse while playing at a venue or club, etc. 2. It doesn't have VU-meters. Ok, that's just a minor issue since the software itself has a level indicator, but it looks and feels way more professional looking at the controller to adjust gain, instead of staring at the computer screen! 3. The Master Level is a fader instead of a knob, that sits between the left and the right channel. Since you don't adjust the master volume that often, it's just annoying having to fiddle around between the two channels and the master! 4. It doesn't have performance pads. Well, since the Mixtrack Pro came out in 2010, it's not Numarks fault. It took almost 3 years for the pads to become a standard, even more so for budget controllers! There are a few more minor things that are different, but all in all, you're getting a far more better value for price with the Pioneer DDJ SB2. Plus, it costs just a few dollars/euros more than its predecessor DDJ-SB, making the latter obsolete!
wtf!? my biggest wishes for this complete transportable controller was a VU-meter, gain & light-position-LED on the wheels. because of waiting one year, i bought the DDJ-SB, satisfied but not complete - ago 1 month. today is the release of the SB2, with two of these features. :D daaam. they feeled me. but now i got the DDJ-SB. is it possible to exchange. is completly new?
+Julian_Choi I have the paid for versions of DJayPro and Virtual DJ. I haven't yet tried the Virtual DJ yet, but the controller worked straight out of the box with DJayPro.
Hi, we don't have an official mapping for this controller, as it's not natively supported for Virtual DJ. You will need to contact its support team for that. I can only leave you here the midi-compatible software with the list of MIDI messages: goo.gl/XgL2SP
i bought the ndx 500 serato decks and i was super dissapointed because i didnt know that serato is compatible with nothing except serato products. So my question for this controller is this: if i buy the Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB2 , do i need to buy anything else (software, hardware or whatever) in order to work or simply i plug & play????? can i record my sets???
Pioneer DJ I thinking about buying a SB2 for my son. Can you mix any music files (i.e from Spotify) or do you need a spesific format ?. What are the two big wheels in the mixer for ?
This is a Serato controller so you need either Serato DJ Intro (the free one) or Serato DJ (the one that you can buy but has a lot more features than the free one). You can download Serato DJ Intro (the free one) on Serato's website, here's a link serato.com/dj/intro If you want to mix songs you need to have the mp3 file of the song, and the two big wheels (called Jog Wheels) in the mixer are for scratching (a DJ'ing technique), pitch bending and scrolling through a track.
Hello pioneer Do you think this product is a good option for someone who already knows theory and tempo concepts, but still a newbie? Btw, I am a guitar player who wants to starts a bit with house music. Thank you very much!
HI Arthur! I know what you mean. This is a good controller to start, but maybe you would need a superior one in a short period of time considering your current knowledge. Have you considered the DDJ-RR? goo.gl/00kQeS or the SR2? goo.gl/wv5UCs
Pioneer DJ yes, but the problem is that in my contry the other options are way to expensive for me... isn't the ddj s2 good for a begginer? Sorry to bother... 😅
Hi, do I need a computer with me to use this? Or can I plug in a usb with all my tracks and use? I have a tower not a laptop and I can't take my tower anywhere so if this requires a computer to use at all times could you recommend a controller that I would be able to use?
Hi Roadtoice, the DDJ-SB2 is a controller and designed to work with a PC, so your tower is fine. If you’re after a standalone unit that does not require a PC we would suggest the XDJ-RX - ua-cam.com/video/coYP7YR7M9o/v-deo.html
HI Yeye! This video is from two years ago and the table was there from before. Can't really tell where you can buy it, but you can find similar ones googling for sure.
Hello guys. İ'm new here and i have a question. Where is Bass and Treble controller on DDJ SB?. İ saw them on Numark controllers but i couldn't see here. Sorry for bad language :(
Now with 4 Decks, and Trim that's real nice
The DDJ-SB2, bundled with Serato DJ Intro, is available from September 2015 at an SRP of €259, including VAT.
Pioneer DJ are that the same size as the DDJ-SB. for deck-saver?
How i can connected with ipad.¿
+Pioneer DJ Will this work with Virtual Dj?
+That Guy i think it can
ill try
+That Guy i think it can not 100% sure tho
wow man they upgraded it very well by adding gain/trim to each channel/led level meters/4 deck control and pad effects.they also added a red led sticker on job wheels:)
but also took out the back button for going out of a folder in serato dj
I love the part in the vid when the guy is walking down the street with the unit under his arm.
If you did this where I live in Middlesbrough, you would get a smack in the chops and it stolen in about 5 mins!!
Nice product though.
No if you saw this in boro he would be going to trade it for smack 😝
paulo1066 Wasn't expecting to see a Boro comment here but your probably right, Stockton too.
+paulo1066 Same here, I really wasn't expecting someone from Boro here haha.
Same here in Buenos Aires... in fact, it's not even secure at all inside my house :P
+Gonzalo Hernan same here in North Korea, if they knew I had this my entire family would be killed
0:37 very nice play button.
Cool! Proud DDJ SB owner here!
Now all we need is the SZ2 please 😍😍😍
All you need! great controller love DJing for my friends on this

This is the best ad I ever seen...
TRIM!!! finally :) this in my opinion was the main thing missing from the SB, maybe i can flog mine second hand and get the new one. Happy for the additional channel control as well.
I have DDJ SB... But this is amazing!
Glad to see the trim knobs. I can see this controller selling well.
Man i loved this controller.
Same! Sill using it in 2020 and finally upgrading to a SX3. Huge jump but I'll keep it for backup!
nice update feel for ppl who have just bought the sb or mtp3
Ase como 3 años compre este producto y la verdad se los recomiendo ya que es muy bueno
Does this have a slight humming sound when plugged into speakers? I noticed this with the SR units. Hopefully this has been fixed. There is a noticeable feedback hum while it's powered on...
Can't wait to have a piece of this equipment. Looks too intriguing
I am waiting to get this for Christmas ! 🤗😍🎚🎛
can someone tell me what is the point of the LEDs in the platters if no one uses them? I have not see one video all night after searching to see if the platter LEDs do anything at all. I was hoping for a" tape mark" for scratching, but I am not seeing it.
I feel like this is cooler than the First DDJ SX
This mix is sick man!
GREAT FOR PRIVATE EVENTS. LOVE IT!!!!
Not bad very good upgrade.
DDJ SB2 willl cost more than the DDJ SB or it will be in the same price?
Oh my god! its awesome controller! i must buy it!

I love the video and the controller.
Did he really just used one of Low Steppa's tracks???😍😍
this was the controller I was going to get but then I heard numark had the mixtrack pro 3 coming out and saw the touch pads and just had to buy it
Is it a good choice for a beginner or there is better for the same average price?

I’ve had technics and lugged around records from packed parties to clubs. Used serato with this turntables. Sold turntables years ago and now just looking for something to mess with at home. Is this good enough for those that have turntable experience?
Hey hey! You might be interested in our latest controller, the SB3: ua-cam.com/video/BxvjiMJv70U/v-deo.html
so what is your opinion in terms of this controller vs getting the numark mixtrack pro 3. they have similarities but taking biases away what makes the pioneer stand out against the numark?
Are you able to use a fader start on this controller ?
Where do you get the music and effects from?
Got mine yesterday guys! But because of work commitments I haven't had a chance to open it yet. Maybe I should do an unboxing vid? lol

Can you use it with other software other than Serato?
are there availble 2 different channel output, one for headphones and one for music speakers?

Pioneer listened to the forums then they actually did it. Now... shut up and take my money
Clarence Constantino you stop and take your own money
I'm considering purchasing this! Will it have Traktor support?
Does this Work well using Traktor Pro Software?
Would this work hooked up to an iPad using Djay software like the Wego3??

To use the dj table you need something or just connect it, you download everything on the pc and you use it ???
You would need a DJ software: rekordbox or Serato in this case: goo.gl/TYdGFP

Hello pioneer
Do you think this product is a good option for someone who already knows theory and tempo concepts, but still a newbie? Btw, I am a guitar player who wants to starts a bit with house music. Thank you very much!
HI Arthur! I know what you mean. This is a good controller to start, but maybe you would need a superior one in a short period of time considering your current knowledge. Have you considered the DDJ-RR? goo.gl/00kQeS or the SR2? goo.gl/wv5UCs
Pioneer DJ yes, but the problem is that in my contry the other options are way to expensive for me... isn't the ddj s2 good for a begginer?
Sorry to bother... 😅
Sure! The SB2, RB and WeGO4 are our controllers for beginners.
Hi, do I need a computer with me to use this? Or can I plug in a usb with all my tracks and use? I have a tower not a laptop and I can't take my tower anywhere so if this requires a computer to use at all times could you recommend a controller that I would be able to use?
Hi Roadtoice, the DDJ-SB2 is a controller and designed to work with a PC, so your tower is fine. If you’re after a standalone unit that does not require a PC we would suggest the XDJ-RX - ua-cam.com/video/coYP7YR7M9o/v-deo.html
Thank you so much :)
What samples does it have to make that chop effect?
It's not a sample but the four pads quantizing the track and it can "chop" the track beat in half, then half again, and half again. See from 1:22
