Reviews around piece (5.00 of 5)

  • A bit pricy, but If you can afford it, it's a very good piece of equipment.
  • REVIEWThis is an incredible piece of hardware, but you should consider any review to be of the DDJ-SX and the Serato software (they're inseparable).

Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • this is the best controller on the market and the price is very reasonable
  • I got way more than what I expected for what I consider a really reasonable price.
  • Mostly plastic with some metal, shouldn't be for a price tag like this.- Size could be smaller, specially for DJs that move around with heir controllers.- Serato DJ-only
  • ... Look hard because you can find this controller at an amazing price....

Reviews around cue (5.00 of 5)

  • Scratching is a breeze(if you can afford heightening the latency), hot cues/sampler/loop controls are awesome and responsive.
  • I'm very happy with the hot cues and the scratching technology on the job
  • the CDJ jog wheel is incredible, works perfect, touchsmart like a mac trackpad and feels great the 8 soft trigger pads are great, works with Roll, slicer, samples and hot cues, really steps up the remixing on the fly
  • It takes full advantage of the two effects units, library interface,, hot cues, rolls, slicer, and sampler.

Reviews around layout (5.00 of 5)

  • The design is clean, lightweight, the layout is smooth and the capabilities beat any on the market hands down
  • Layout - The controller's layout works well, even though the asymmetrical approach Pioneer takes can throw you off at first if you're used to other controllers.
  • The Pros:- Great layout

Reviews around mixer (5.00 of 5)

  • Standalone mixer-capable and perfect integration make this a great buy for a DJ looking to take a big step out of the introductory realm and towards the 'big leagues'.

  • The pure mixer and the effects specialist alike will find this unit to be the best available on the market...PERIOD
  • This is a great mixer/midi controller from pioneerI usi it whit 2 external audio

Reviews around feel (5.00 of 5)

  • the Pioneer quality sound comes through very well while the hardware itself has that solid feel you would expect from this massive manufacturer
  • The all around feel is solid, and my only complaint is that it's a pain in the butt to switch between the controller's sound card and my computer's when I want to play games, but that was to be expected.
  • The feel of the components and layout is better than the S4 or the 4TRAK in my opinion

Reviews around unit (4.47 of 5)

  • While it's still a good unit, I'm really frustrated by this feature gap.
  • i miss the 1200's because it was very simple, but don't get me wrong this unit is
  • love the unit , it works seamlessly with the 2 programs i use virtual dj 8 and serato dj ,
  • The unit is very sturdy, the jog wheels are just out of this world
  • I'm really at a loss of words of how amazing the unit is but I can surely tell you that it is not an easy controller to learn

Reviews around thing (3.61 of 5)

  • One amazing thing that I was not sure would work is when I loaded all my music onto a class 10 SD card that I use with Rekordbox.
  • UPDATE 14 June 2014After using this thing for a few months, one really horrible thing has become clear
  • Funny thing is I didn't even know this controller was on the market as I use Tech
  • The ddj sx the one I orderd was exactly what I expected , what the advertising says exactly, every thing working new not scratched, on time delivery, really I will give five ★ for the good jop they done, and also the fast replay on any information you require

Reviews around feature (3.61 of 5)

  • This is a standard feature on other platforms (Torq, etc.) which severely limits the awesomeness of the DDJ-SX.
  • so I am used to high feature set and solid build quality.
  • I could not be happier with my new purchase as the new deck is built to the standards of my $6k pioneer setup and is nearly as feature rich (more so with the slicer and sampler
  • Also another invaluable feature is it's capability to perform as a fully functioning mixer sans a computer, just plugin some RCAs and send out your booth and master
  • But this controller fits everything on price an all the features that you can get from the serato is perfect for a Pro performarce in a nightclub
