So, I watched this tutorial approximately 50x’s along with about 100 others and think I may finally be able to call myself a DJ ;) I just wanted to say thank you to you first of all for posting this video because it really helped me a lot and please let me know what you think about my mix and transitions. I would really appreciate it, thx!!
some of this is in the effects tab ...there are flanger and other effects in there ..other than the ones on the console ....even on intro ...just icase its been over looked
Great beginners video! Is there a reason I can't continually half my auto loops like you did in 3:26? I can do it twice before it stops allowing me to half it any further. Only manual loops allow me to keep cutting it. Please help. Merry X-mas!
had mine a couple of months now ...and i dont go on it everyday ...and i'm still learning without the full serato dj ....but then i was on vinyl for 27+ years ..so just finding my feet on controllers ....but i got fed up with lugging 2xtechnics 1210's djm600 and crates of vinyl up and down stairs ..i'm getting old now !!! LOL ....old skool all the way .....
Can you toggle from DJ-FX and Samples tab using the controller, and not using the cursor? (I know I can activate each from the controller, but I want to change tabs on the screen without using cursor)
Hey, great tutorial. Question for you ... can you use the sync button to bring the track playing out loud to match the track in the queue? that would seem to make more sense, being able to speed up the existing track to the incoming one.
Hi Lou, could you let me know what exactly do you want to achieve with the Sync mode? You can sync the beat or BPM of the track playing in the Master deck with the new track in preparation in another deck. I'm not sure to understand with "bring the track playing out loud". More details will be appreciated. Thanks!
when switching between samples and FX using the buttons on the controller, does Serato respond by automatically changing the software to show the one you have selected, or do you have to do this with your computer mouse?
what do i do if i want to press one of the hot cues and get the track to continue playing from there? the guy in this video said the track doesn't stop playing when you press the hot cue key. thanks
i wanted to know how to change the filter effects cuz the guy that sold me the sb left them with different configs n i was worried they couldnt be changed, would be too wack if they didnt
I have to mix with sync instead of manual beat matching because my headphone port is broken so I can’t put headphones in, Shame I can’t use deck to it’s full potential
great tutorial man, question: i have an SB however i havent looked into many samples, like can i isolate any part of any song say a nice airhorn (bad example i know) from a regular track and put it into the sample bank? How can i trim the song to just get the sample? Need to do it in audacity or something first? cheers man, more vids plz
On an unbiased opinion this or the traktor s2 mk2 with an kontrol f1 (comes with full traktor). Traktor seems a big more powerful with more samples and effects.
I wanted to use the ddj sb with mixvibes cross dj app and they have a tutorial to set it up to an android device, but I'm on iPad and I was wondering if it works. Please respond
Hi mate I have an issue... like your vids so thought I'd see if you know. sb2 ... analyse tracks in serato.. shiws bpm n key as tiud expectvin library... load track bpm does not show on virtual deck.says tap... which button on sb2 do i press please
hi buddy im thinking of buying the ddj sb 2 but where can i get some coaching as much is still way to fast for my own personal understanding on some things lol where are you based im in hampshire just wondering if theres anyone out there to help teach me some serious new techniques as im lil rusty these days, cheers Tracy B aka tHinGy
Hi i recently bought this controller and full serato software and when i try and connect the controller i just get 'Hardware Disconnected' all the drivers and firmware are up to date but it still isnt connecting what shall i do?
how do you get that effect when pausing the track? It sounds like the vinyl coming to a stop, I own the DDJ SB2 and all it does is stop the track immediately.
Hi there. We will need more details in order to understand better the problem. Please fill this form with all your details. A video will definitely help too: rekordbox.com/en/support/inquiry.php
Hello +BEATSiBANG - Yes, you can upgrade to Serato DJ. You can see a full list of specifications here www.pioneerdj.com/en/product/controller/ddj-sb/black/specifications/
Hey there, you can see the compatible softwares here: www.pioneerdj.com/en/product/controller/ddj-sb/black/support/#info I'm afraid you can't use it with Traktor.
Hi Pionner. I want to know if software Virtual DJ is good for mixing . If you can vive me some advice just enter on my chanel and say what i do bad or wrong .
There are a lot of comments asking where people can buy samples from...DON`T. This is what has gone badly wrong, samples are for producers not effing DJ`s, if they were meant to be on the track they would be on there ! Why does every DJ want to be a smart ass these days, being a smart ass hitting bloody filter, effects and samples is not entertainment it is effing annoying. DJ = Disc Jockey = entertainer, it does not = producer. Know your music, feel the mood, get people on the floor, keep them on the floor and stop fucking around with the track !!!!!!
I like the way this guy explains stuff.. great vid
This is a very helpful video for someone just trying to learn the basic functions of dj-ing. Much appreciated.

How to make that 'vinyl stop' effect as in 00:49?
Serato Dj has an option in the settings where you can choose how fast the song stops.

How do I get samples?????
great tutorial man, question: i have an SB however i havent looked into many samples, like can i isolate any part of any song say a nice airhorn (bad example i know) from a regular track and put it into the sample bank? How can i trim the song to just get the sample? Need to do it in audacity or something first? cheers man, more vids plz
biotechno100 You can just use a program like Free Mp3 Cutter to cut any MP3 you have into a piece you may want to use as a sample.
thanks so much
is this video all in intro? or is this the full version of Serato?
Are all these functions part of serato DJ intro or the full version?
Please is this serato pro or serato lite....cos my ddj sb is not connected with serato pro
Are all these effects available with Serato dj intro or do you have to have the full version?
On an unbiased opinion this or the traktor s2 mk2 with an kontrol f1 (comes with full traktor). Traktor seems a big more powerful with more samples and effects.
Ehhh serato's effects got better after their new fx packs
I use this and Traktor Pro 2!
I wanted to use the ddj sb with mixvibes cross dj app and they have a tutorial to set it up to an android device, but I'm on iPad and I was wondering if it works. Please respond
ROLL AND SLICER???? DOES IT HAVE THAT?

Is it possible to find the first beat of the track using the "strutter" mode? similar to the cdj
cheers
thank u . very helpful
Can you drag a full track into a sample bank and select a certain part of the track?
yes
Hi mate I have an issue... like your vids so thought I'd see if you know.

how to get back seeing the onscreen cue points?
Can you loop parts of a song without interrupting the song's position, so it continues to play while you loop?
that's "slip" function and you need to upgrade the software to be able to use that. kind of a let down
kpgpwi64 Thanks for replying, I ended up getting a DDJ-S1 which happens to have this feature on it!!
Kwong Yee Cheung or Flux mode in Traktor ;)
Yeah I ended up getting the DDJ-S1 which has a dedicated 'slip' mode :-)
Hi i recently bought this controller and full serato software and when i try and connect the controller i just get 'Hardware Disconnected' all the drivers and firmware are up to date but it still isnt connecting what shall i do?
Which controller is it, have you got the Serato Disc, and have you tried redownloading?
its serato intro. And yes. I also downloaded the full 14 day trail version and it still isnt connecting
What DJ set do you have?
Try switching USB ports. That often is the cause of issues for me.
Is there any way to double a loop?
THNX
The bpm changes in manual mode and goes out of time am i missing something
how do you get that effect when pausing the track? It sounds like the vinyl coming to a stop, I own the DDJ SB2 and all it does is stop the track immediately.
press the cue button :)
You can go in settings and choose the decay time
Where do I download free music?

Serato effects are the worst on the free version!
Looks more like a walk through than "advanced techniques"
There are a lot of comments asking where people can buy samples from...DON`T.

DJ = Disc Jockey = entertainer, it does not = producer. Know your music, feel the mood, get people on the floor, keep them on the floor and stop fucking around with the track !!!!!!
You have lots of knowledge, just need to speak slowly.
how is this advanced haha
The auto loop switching like loooing a one beat then changing to manual to reduce it in half doesn't work with DDJSB2
