How would you rate the quality / price?
Perhaps one can beings expensive for a controller. But I'm not at all disappointed.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes but I will complete with two CDJ next to.

How long have you use it?

About 1 month.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Just a Hercules DJ Console RMX.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Pros: Very good quality, solid. 8 pads (loops, samples, ....) are great, something to be very creative. The total integration with Serato, very good software. Very easy to handle. No need to be a professional to do great things with this material.

Cons: It lacks a kill button for each frequency on the equalizer.

How would you rate the quality / price?

Very good. Can you pay a mark on the net but there are good prices.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Without a doubt.

Yes, indeed it is a controller. Certainly if the computer fails, there is no fallback ... though ... it is a real mixer so an ipod with a small PL plugged into the "just in case" we can at least guard against accidental activation.
Admittedly, this is not the same as governed DJM 900 / CDJ2000 Nexus ...

But what up!

Everything is the first time, the mere fact of having a powerful sampler is already a huge change.
The jog, although modest in size are very nice, all buttons / faders are good, the pads are just magic: cue drumming facility, roll more convenient and accurate than a WELL "wheel" slicer friendly (never use it for vocals ... and the slip mode is perfect ...

I sold my NS6 (already HDG yet) to go to the controller and I have absolutely no regrets!

It may well make one or two complaints but more related to software (Serato DJ) and machine: the disappearance of the "Tremolo" effect Itch (equivalent to a trans / spoil), no effect pitch / key are key.

If you ever want more shortcuts: a small LPD 8 next will delight you for 40 €.

The only Evolution I could reversible at this level would be just a control 900/2000 with use of recordbox through HDD ... Or simply controller fashion ... as 90% of clubs ...

I do not think XDJ R1 (independent / 100% pioneer) is as effective and well constructed that the couple DDJ SX / Serato, even if the opportunities with the iPad app seem very interesting ...

To summarize: DARK.

Well I gonna do 2 weeks I lai with a first experience in the evening last night .... I have been a topic on the forum with my first impressions

To know that I come from vinyl and I was shooting with traktor mk2 and therefore a little jai aprehende the passage ddj sx .... And finally not c machine well so we think sy done fairly quickly. I bought new and lai n had no worries about the product while unpacking jai verified nickel ..

To say that the use of pure happiness c, all functions are easy to access the hot cues loop the effects ... and then after mixing is known to be so we do not know all the functions sync etc .... jy I've put a black tape over lol!

As against the concerns that had jai c micro cuts on some of his pieces and freeze for lordi (especially when lusage effects) very very short but hey it freaked anyway .... I have a mac book pro mid-2009 4 GB of ram 2.4 ghz proc I think for optimal use must predict a big becane in my humble opinion ..... I precise that with traktor mk2 and jai not have this problem. ..

To conclude, I do not regret my purchase because c really a beautiful beast ... I have to add that most of the ram ..

The best just!

Manufacturing quality worthy of a djm 850/900. (Knobs, faders line)

For having a mixer on DDJ T1 there's no comparison between the two, handling direct and just mix with nikel, the sound is very good, jog respond well (may have adjust the hardness), the pad are very very reactive.

Value for money I would put 10/10 because it comes with serato dj, and works perfectly with Traktor Pro 2, and over the mixer can be used in standalone comments table mix with filters (for voice).
However the effects do not work without software.

How long have you been using?

For 2 weeks

What is so special that you like most and least?

The +

The pro side. materials used, pads and well thought out ergonomics, already on my old controller NS7FX but access to files without using the mouse is great!
Multiple inputs and outputs!
The lightweight, all in one!

The -

The - Pioneer is unable to return on a date of availability for future owners.

Did you try many other models before buying it?

Numark NS7FX
Numark iCDX
Denon CDN88 a friend
Several double CD turntables ...
Vynil turntable

How do you rate the quality / price?

Very well located in terms of quality / price compared to other controllers.

With experience, you do again this choice?

Not enough feedback but I remake this choice without hesitation.
Shame that Pioneer is not up to the demand, but it's worth it to wait for those who are still waiting for the Holy Grail!
I found used: an unexpected opportunity and especially the NS7 II is not out yet if I will certainly change his mind due to lack of patience.

It should be noted Pioneer of supply, quality of service and / or information = 0/10
Note If the controller: 9,5 / 10

I wanted to send you my first impressions of the beast so here it is simply killing everything is perfect pioneer frankly made strong!
Level design is largely succeeded!
And the size is perfect and is not at all ridiculous compared to other controllers if you see what I mean: p
Finally, it is my opinion after lol
Then the functions and permormance this controller are really good and I am completely satisfied after more than 3-4hrs of use ... It is very pleasant to use and serato Dj and really not bad to tell you before I itch with the ns7 and it was not bad and they are that improving the software so no worries at this level. .
To return the machine, Joggs are really good and for those who love and are impeu scratch it's really nice .. For the pads is really good and all functions respond very well!
The effects are not bad, but other effects are missing a call (the spoil etc ...) an update with more effects would be welcome but otherwise nothing to say I love! !

Mixing on CD player for a long time, I wanted to get into the world of digital compact with all this new controller Pioneer seemed to be one of the most comprehensive on the market.

Preface

I always mix mp3 files, whether on CD, USB or via Ethernet with the PRO DJ Link Rekorbox.
For my part the mix has started on a pair of CDJ-400 around a DJM-400. Can practice when we mix mp3, some cool effects but it quickly turns round.
I then go on a set of two CDJ-900 plugées ass a DJM-700. The mix was perfect comfort, decks and mixer very good quality, ergonomics, ideal working surface, multiple features that shorten the grunt work thanks to the ethernet connection Rekorbox (drag / drop mp3 files directly on the plates connected in network) and the analysis pre pieces therein.
It set up very very innovative, but also very pleasant to use.
Nevertheless there is still a problem: the size, the weight and size of the set when it is nestled in a flight authority. Everything can be up to 120cm long and weigh 30 kilos with a good weight of the flight. Otherwise easily transportable say especially when you lodge on the 5th floor of a building without lift. (I still sue ... Yeah it's disgusting)

This is where the real story begins bro, the rest was just a scenario and a few literary remains of the tank I should do .. (Or not?)

The DDJ Sx is a great device, I'm not going to describe the feeling you get when you open a box of Pioneer, everyone here must know. But still, when you leave the beast of his skin ass movie, what is to be said: it throws.
Almost perfect finish, hit solid and reliable, many brushed aluminum but at least it avoids the foul fingerprints pals curious. It's beautiful, it's clean, it's bright. on the other hand is Japanese.

Serato DJ is installed, the plug on all its small branch Genelecs his little HD25 (it also works with other brands normally), you turn the SX and after illumination Started a little overrated, it's gone.

Everything is very intuitive, no need to touch a computer that serves as the control panel. You can practically do it directly from the round DDJ. We will draw on the support of its files directly on the decks. This is the bomb, everything is simple.
I will not tell you the condensed functionality rather extraordinary, there's a video on YouTube very explicit.

on the other hand I can tell you that you will never regret your purchase. A relatively affordable (certainly more than a traditional set-up disk and eats with mixer), was a war machine available that can satisfy all tastes creative with near-zero latency, an intuitive and remarkable efficiency. The sound is good, the filters of the mixer are balanced.
And that is both large enough to be a comfortable and quite light and compact to take on an evening rears its teu ... his nose. And thanks to the extensive connection, you can connect to almost be on any type of broadcast! Yeah! This is great!

In short, the DDJ SX is the ideal compromise between portability, quality, comfort, durability, simplicity, versatility, and a small one for the road will say almost perfection.

Buy with confidence if you hang on your years old CDJ 1000 and you hesitate to take the plunge.

PS: beware SYNC button ... It is both discreet and obvious. Without reopening the debate, better maintain his ear banning it because when we get a mix of good old turntables would not seem to screw up his set as a beginner that you would want to throw rolls PQ soaked white rotten eggs.
