Conclusion - A very good, full-featured controller whose pros mightily outweigh its few cons.

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.

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

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

Pioneer stopped innovating a while ago, and they took some of the better features of existing controllers, added some Pioneer touch, and the result is evident

There are a number a features I feel a true DJ would never use
