I went for the DDJ-800 as you recommended in a previous video, bang for buck i and well pleased as a beginner it is already a positive experience. 5/5

[benji.B-side]

As a DJ who started out decades ago, using vinyl with Technic decks and loving the build quality of them, I'm glad you have gave a shout out on Denon. I have used Denon for years now and find they put quality and high standards of build into their DJ equipment. They have never let me down and although pioneer captured the DJ market, Denon should have been embraced by more DJ's and deserved a bigger share of the market.

I started with the Numark Mixtrack Pro 3, which in my opinion is enough for beginner DJs to learn with. The FX hardware functionality is pretty niche, but outside of that it works fairly well!⭐

I jumped on the DDJ-1000 pretty much on the day of release. It was the unit I was waiting for 10 years, ever since moved from CDJs to controllers. I always missed the CDJ jog wheels, DJM mixer layout and characteristics, not to mention the hardware effects. The only thing I would consider replacing it would be a similar but standalone unit. Although the Rane One brings back all the vinyl memories, it’s mixer section puts it out of question for me.

I'm part of my university's DJ club and we use a DDJ 400 here. This was my first experience with mixing music, since I was too afraid to make the move and buy expensive gear before as I didn't know whether I would like it or not, even though I've always dreamt of it. So now I've got myself a DDJ 400 as well for Christmas, and am very glad to see that it's really good for its price. Thanks for the guide !

I am using a ddj SB3 NOW AND IT IS A PRETTY GOOD BEGINNERS CONTROL I love the ddj sr 2 too Been a DJ since I was 14 and now I am 32. I always watch your videos

[matthewdelgadillo]

never thought I would say this being a pioneer guy throughout most of my career but I got the denon prime go and its amazing worked with it on the plane before a gig and the battery life is really good sound card is better then their flagship mixer...!!!

[SuperstarDJSupreme]

I love my DDJ-1000. It does any and everything I can think of.

[andyadams]

DDJ-1000, amazing controller helped me get my radio slot! i was looking at getting the DDJ-800 but decided i might as well pay the extra to get the full thing with all 4 channels. ive been having a real good blast on it and still got plenty to learn from it as i'd only really played on smaller decks before like the areo, and numark's

if you want the 800, i really would suggest just save that bit longer and get the 1000, even more so if you like to run many tracks on the go its just pure bliss!

I started with the ddj 400 which was great for getting to grips with the basics, but didn't allow much room for further learning i found. Then i got an XDJ-RX which was really fun and powerful too. can get you into club standard mixing on nexus set ups for example. I currently own a pair of XDJ-700S and DJM 450 which are absolutely the best decks I've ever purchased and love them to pieces, so i can't fault them. The best for portable DJs imo is definitely XDJ-RX, RR etc as the ability to use as an all in one without a laptop is so convenient. Just one less technicality to go wrong and a lot less cables

I have the Hercules Inpulse 500 Gold edition and it was excellent deal, it comes with Serato DJ pro License and high quality bag. My only grips are the FX/Filter combo can be limiting and annoying sometimes and it doesn't have key lock/Tempo range button. Otherwise its almost perfect for the money. 100% recommend.

[richardjackson]

Great video Dude, I so value your opinion on EVERYTHING!!! I just wanted to share that my favorite controller is the DDJ-SR2 almost like a Serato version of the DDJ-800 I love the pitch'n time buttons on it. So cool. Keep up the good work I always look 4ward to your content.

[umreenimam]

I'm using the HI 500 and I absolutely love it! I love the way you mix songs, and your tutorials have helped me so much! Keep up the amazing work!! 🥳

[StephanBuchin]

Forget anything that doesn't feature a headphones Cue Mixing knob. The first in this list that has it is the Hercules Inpulse 500. The Pioneer DJ SB3 lacks this feature though the SB2 and SB had it. Thank me later 😎

[MyZimeCharts]

I have a 600$ DJ Controller (Numark NV2). And I really love it. It have 4 decks, XLR outputs, serato DJ pro, velocity sample pads and I also love the two big displays which are bright enough if you play outside in the sun. Although it's a controller it feels a little bit like a expensive CDJ.

I just picked up a S4 Mk2 for $230 with Traktor 3 Pro License and some expansions included! Excited to get it and to learn how to DJ. I figure for the price, and the features it has, I should be able to learn on it, and hopefully use it for a long time, even if it's a bit older compared to something like the DDJ-400, so hopefully should be a good one.

Great video! Really appreciate your stuff, and will watch more of your videos to learn a lot more!

[dj_cadu]

I’ve got the Denon Prime 4 and Prime Go! Those two are the perfect gear for me! With the Prime Go, I’ve got a perfect mobility and with the Prime 4, the perfect combination of a great gear with a awesome looks for my clientele! I only have to use the laptop when playing with video (Serato Pro)! Congrats on the Great video👏🏻

[NonnyStrikes]

DDJ800 is what I started with, so I was lucky! It took my years of touring and playing guitar very well :D

I'm getting better at scratching now. Especially into and out of songs. I haven't done it live yet, but I'm almost there! Few more hours and I'll be confident enough.

I gotta say some of my favorite discoveries lately are the 1/2, /1/4, 1/8 option on the effects knob. Rolls, slips, echo, are just a few, but man, it's really fun before drops, during long vocal parts that are drawn out into breaks, I'm having a blast and in turn, the crowd is!

Your content is unmatched man. The dedication to making improvements stands out!

I'd say this world is quite different compared to guitar, drums, etc. It's limitless... but also, you'll have people that have been djing for years, telling you that you can't mix a 90bpm song with a 120 bpm song. BLows my mind tbh. IF you have understanding of timing signatures, you can do pretty much anything regardless of tempo. I tried explaining it to a fella, but he kept insisting to use beatsync to "flow" songs together. Not even listening to my mixes :/

[jeffreyedwards]

I forgot to mention mad props on the video itself and your knowledge and that helps thanks

Im joining a Slipknot Cover band so I needed a good budget DJ controller for Sid Wilson!!! One of the best DJs and keeps Scratching alive!!!
