I understand this is a very old review by now, but as a fresh-just-starting dj myself, I purchased the DDJ-RR and it does actually have the capability of playing 4 tracks simultaneously. There is an option to be checked in the settings of Rekordbox software. The real downside, however, is trying to control all the EQs, Trims, faders, etc. for each of the overlapping decks. For example if you're playing Track A on Deck 1, Track B on Deck 3: and you drop the Low EQ to lowest level (-26) on Track A, if you switch to Track B, there's no way of knowing where you left that Low EQ level at, and the only way to grab it is to turn the Low EQ knob all the way clockwise until it captures Track B's setting and then it starts shifting it (say to increase the Low EQ). Good features but it gets quite messy when one is mixing live. If anyone is facing similar issues I would love to have a chat about how to best use these 4 deck options. Not a single reviewer out there has discussed this issue in depth. What a missed opportunity!
Can you take it of vinyl mode? And if you can, when you press pause does it stutter??? Like where the beat repeats itself so you can move the jog wheel to cue the very beginning of that sound or beat?
Hi, are the jog wheels really bigger than the ones on the DDJ SR ? On the Pioneer website it says the DDJ SX, SR, RX, RR all have the same size jog wheels, 132.5mm ???
one works with serato and rekordbox...the other just works with rekordbox. the sr isn't stand alone i believe, and doens't have xlr or native control of rekordbox.
no comparison other than look, sr is a usb midi controller when the rr is powered and loaded with so many effects and input output options..trumps the sr for this price point its worth learning rekord box
Hi Tocayo, do you know the VCI380? Do you think this is a better option for a mobil controller? i really love the 380 and im trying to decide. Best regards.
Can the Ddj RR fit in the same Case as the DDj SR???...im not seeing any cases for the Ddj RR other then the Coffin style cases... but they are to heavy for me...
My DDJ RR on one side (left) it’s off.. it’s playing fine but the cues and sampler pad fx etc. it’s off I mean the lights are off. Everything is fine just the lights are off.. none knows why. HELP HELP HELP
What about the option that has power ac? Does the mixer work as an independent mixer or is it usb based. I am asking because of the microphone. If it works only via usb and the computer sound card it does not sound as good .I am always of need of a good mic. SO as you mention. Does the mic work without computer?
here in norway SR price is more or less 5,600 RR is around 5,900 (in norwegian money) with 300 difference do u think its better to buy rr or sr? any recommendation? coz im planning to upgrade from ddj rb☺️ thanks!
Tough one... I would definitely recommend the SR, but then you are stuck with Rekordbox DJ. I like the software, but still, Serato DJ is superior atm... Maybe wait for the Mixars Primo? Check out my comparison between the Primo and the RR here, maybe it will help you: djtechzone.com/2017/04/mixars-primo-versus-pioneer-dj-ddj-rr-which-one-is-the-best/
+JPnumark Pimenta There is no automix feature yet in Rekordbox dj but it has been suggested many times so I expect it come sooner than later... thx for the comment!
diswculpe el abuso de verdad,,,le cuento yo tengo un mexclador allen heat y la verdad al comprar uno de estos ya mi mexclador pasaria a un adorno, lo mejor seria un xdj de pioneeer y usar el traktor o cree usted algo fdiferente, yo creo q native instrmentes debe estar sacando algo pornto,la verdad el jog whell lo encuentr neceseario sobre todo q tengo mucha musica vieja en wav q el beatgris es delicado, mil gracias
I have an issue setting up my DDJ-RR with Mixlr and LiveStream. Whenever I select the DDJ-RR in Mixlr or Livestream as an audio output device (channel 1&2, 3&4 or 5&6) no sound will come trough. In Rekordbox DJ I select the DD-RR Master Output to be the output... It all seems quite obvious but it just doesn't work. I wonder if anyone managed to solve this on MAC El Capitan with their DDJ-RR or DDJ-RX. I also tried to tweak the MIDI/Sound setting and use SoundFlower but without any luck. Please help!
Great Review, makes me also to deside NOT to buy this controller: Why? 1) you can control 4 decks but you cannot use them at the same time, when you switch from deck A to Deck C, the sound of Deck A will be cut off. The Serato DDJ-SR can play the sound of 4 Decks at the same time. 2) the DDJ-SR has assignable FX buttons, per deck you can switch FX 1+2 (with the shift button FX3&4)on and off with the DDJ-RR you have switch this in the Reckordbox software. I like the overall black layout of the RR comparing with the SR. Also the XLR master out, boot output, and 2 phono/line inputs...
it cuts off because it's a stand alone mixer. similar to the xdj-rx. it should still be able to play all four at once if using the software. all of the functions should be the same as original sr, only better
I had an Sr and now own this,the effects are much better on this and you can do a lot more with them but rekord box is shit ,it doesn't come close to serato.
+Christo How is it better? I will never go back to Serato. Rekordbox DJ hasn't been out even a year and is fully loaded. This time next year it will be the number one software to use.
+Kevin Stucki the optimisation is no where near on seratos level,it's bug ridden atm but apart from that I agree that it will become number 1,just not yet imo

Great video i have been searching every where for until today. Thank you so much dear Sir🎉 i ❤ what you do.
hey i appreciate your review but do you think you could get better sound going, perhaps just normalize it so the levels are higher? thanks
If you go on the mixer settings you can change the 2 deck in 4 deck... you will play 4 songs at the same time
Enjoyed your review and Pioneer features of course! Hope to buy it soon!
+ILYA Thanks! Much more coming!
nice review, is there anyway to change the lighting on the jog wheel so you can have a single light spinning similar to the cdjs?
+DJ Riddim sorry not possible, at least as far as I know...
Don't man handle your equipment mate show love to them x
Will you please upload a complete tutorial DDJ-RR features. It would be a great help to all users. Thank you!.

I caught that too
Great review.. Please do a comparison between RR & SR
+ClectaSkiMusic thanks! and good suggestion, will consider it.
one works with serato and rekordbox...the other just works with rekordbox. the sr isn't stand alone i believe, and doens't have xlr or native control of rekordbox.

How de jog wheel indicates the CUE point to scratch?
How can I set up my Rekordbox in audio sitting I have version 6 can you help I I put my Rekordbox something sounds in my laptop also of audio
How u compared it to the mixar primo because am contemplating on which one to buy ?
I cant get my cross fader or channel faders to work. the cross fader kinda works if I hold the shift button but still not really
I got one recently too, you only have to read the manual and do the steps one by one.... it is not hard at all.
good, hope you enjoy your ddj-rr! thanks for the comment.
Great review but i still can't decide if I should buy ddj-rr or ddj-rx... please help!
+AjeroZ im working on a full ddj-rx review... will be up soon! hope that helps :-)
Hi Tocayo, do you know the VCI380? Do you think this is a better option for a mobil controller? i really love the 380 and im trying to decide. Best regards.
nice review! I'm gonna buy it soon :)
+Salci Soundz thanks! Good choice ;-)
Same
Is it available in India currently?
Can the Ddj RR fit in the same Case as the DDj SR???...im not seeing any cases for the Ddj RR other then the Coffin style cases... but they are to heavy for me...
Should be no problem at all. the measurements are identical.
Thank u Very much bro!.
+Dj CashMoney 767 my pleasure!
DjTechZone is the pioneer ddj rx a good controller
My DDJ RR on one side (left) it’s off.. it’s playing fine but the cues and sampler pad fx etc. it’s off I mean the lights are off. Everything is fine just the lights are off.. none knows why. HELP HELP HELP

Yes the mixer works indeed independently from the computer. The quality of the mic sound is pretty good on the RR so no problems there!
Thank you very much. You own one that's why you know?
I had a chance to test it out :-)
thanks
What's the software? Pls
How does it compare to the s4 mk2
Is the RR compatible with Serato?
Do you have a review of Serato vs Recordboxdj?
the r series is for rekordbox only. the s series works with both, lacking a few features exclusive to rekordbox dj
here in norway SR price is more or less 5,600 RR is around 5,900 (in norwegian money) with 300 difference do u think its better to buy rr or sr? any recommendation? coz im planning to upgrade from ddj rb☺️ thanks!

i read your review👍 thanks! i will wait futher
more about my upgrade plans. im not sure about changing software.. 🙂
how to put the waves of the track to go from left to right and not from the top to the end ?? (not having the waves at the middle)
On the top of the rekordbox dj screen you have a drop down that say 4deck horizontal, 4 deck vertical... chance that to toggle the waveform view.
i hope it have auto mix our continuous tracks thank you for support
+JPnumark Pimenta There is no automix feature yet in Rekordbox dj but it has been suggested many times so I expect it come sooner than later... thx for the comment!
thank you for support
Hola. Yo se que hablas español. Me puedes decir como cambias las luces del jog. Gracias de antemano. Muy buenos videos.
pudiste cambiar los led del jog?
No he podido.
yo también quiero saber ya lo lograron?
Can I use CH1 and CH2 inputs to use turntables with Timecode?
+Kripo Yes you can!
Can you turn quantize on and off via the controller.? Is there a button?
Yes, the red load button right next to the jog, in combination with shift.
I have problems with Rekord box recognising my Mic. Any ideas how to fix?
turn PC MIX on in your hardware
i can wait with 4 channel faders
would this well with Serato?? would it even work at all with Serato? haha
How much ddj rr controll
are you selling any
hello,, im having trouble with rekordbox,, I have a lot of ripped music on my laptop but rekordbox will not play it,,, can anyone help me please
DJ PHIL When I load music that's downloaded for free onto record box, it's fine. Maybe it's a problem with the software.
rodrigo es el mismo q el rx pero de dos canales o es diferente
+Luis Felipe Urbaneja Es muy parecido en verdad... la gran diferencia son los color fx en el rx y obviamente los 4 canales.
diswculpe el abuso de verdad,,,le cuento yo tengo un mexclador allen heat y la verdad al comprar uno de estos ya mi mexclador pasaria a un adorno, lo mejor seria un xdj de pioneeer y usar el traktor o cree usted algo fdiferente, yo creo q native instrmentes debe estar sacando algo pornto,la verdad el jog whell lo encuentr neceseario sobre todo q tengo mucha musica vieja en wav q el beatgris es delicado,
mil gracias
Haz una analisis en español por favor
can i play deck 1 and deck 3 at the same time?
No you cant because since they are set up on the same channel..
can it work with serato?
+Shane Burnett no it can't. For that you need the DDJ-SR if you want a comparable Pioneer controller...
+Shane Burnett nope it cant.. rekordbox dj only!
And Virtual DJ and Traktor and Mixvibes and every other software with user made midi maps.
IkR put it in midi mode like any other controller
you know change the color of the jogs the decks
ALGUN TUTORIAL EN ESPAÑOL
Hazlo en español el mismo vídeo porfa
