«  Excellent controller for Beginner + »

Hello to you! :)

I decided to finally write a review on my hardware. It takes two months now that I have this controller, I put nearly 6 months to decide to buy one, having no experience in Djing I say it was a small investment for large capacity. Anyway, I was surprised by the quality of the product! At the same time it is Pioneer. Frankly I do not regret buying this controller, I still leaves 5/6 months to go on the DDJ-SX.
Everything comes to hand, there has excellent videos on the net not to be lost in all the options. However, to really enjoy the DDJ-SB, I advise you to buy Serato, do not use the intro version because otherwise you'll quickly find yourself going around the controller. It's simple, with intro you have a simple Hercules ends well under hands full with Serato, you rediscover your turntables and so you have a real toy under the fingers :).

I voluntarily put "Beginner +" because I've never had experience with turntables or controller, but I have no experience with a friend who bought a Hercules (I absolutely do not denigrate the mark, we do what we want eh) at the same time as me, and for the same price (about € 200), and he is stuck with a gear which he toured and impossible to resell. Today he regrets not taking the same as me. And if you already have an ear and a particular taste for music, you can consider starting + + (my definition anyway).

Personally I hesitated with the Numark Pro II, but there is no regret! When I compared the two in real life, I immediately took the pioneer ^ ^ I'm so happy! But it is true that if we really want to improve and grow, it must pass the above range (the ddj-sx for me, as not buying SR), simply by what he has 4 channels.

I was very long, but browsing the internet I have not read many reviews it (I speak in French), and I know there are more people in my case those hesitating between CDJ 1000mk-3 or CDJ 2000. Hopefully I was pretty objective in my argument. After the best thing is to try, go to the store and do not hesitate to make c ***** a little bit to spend time and try. That's what I did. I stayed one hour to experiment, after 15 minutes the seller let me do it alone lol.

Good luck, and especially if you have questions about this stuff do not hesitate, I would answer you as soon as possible.

At any :)
