Serato DJ Pro 3.0.12

I’ve been using a Traktor Kontrol S8 for a few months now, and it’s a real beast not just performance-wise, but physically as well. It’s big, heavy (I got the flight case), and wide, so my biggest problems with gigs are bringing the controller to the venue and setting it up in what always seems to be a tiny DJ booth made to fit just a laptop and little else. Combine this with the fact that I usually come after another DJ who has his or her own controller, and it makes for a ridiculous set-up situation akin to tap dancing with your hands. I used to do vinyl and wanted to buy a controller to learn digital. I did a load of research and decided to go for this (major factor was not knowing whether to commit to Serato or Traktor software, which is dictated by device. Since this unit does both [I expect a Traktor map for this will show at some point, if not already] this meant I had options). The Filter Fade button instantly adds two high pass filters to the crossfader, so both the volume and bass filter can be manipulated using just one hand - seamless mixing becomes effortless. Features Holding the DDJ-SB2 felt familiar – I’ve DJed with many controllers over the last few years,and there are controllers that feel kinda oversized ( DDJ-SZ, and even the DDJ-SX2 come to mind), while there are ones that feel like tiny little plastic toys. This has all the features I wanted to get to grips with before splashing out on anything major. And more. I am still learning what's possible with digital, so there's plenty to play with for me here.

Operation is not guaranteed on all computers, even if all the required operating environment conditions indicated here are fulfilled. The DDJ-SB2, while indeed made of plastic, hardly feels like a toy – it gives me more of an impression that it’s meant to be a portable controller for the serious DJ, someone who uses a full club CDJ set-up but wants something handy for his or her next bar / pub gig.

DJkit believes that the Pioneer DDJ-SB2 gives you advanced features that are not usually available at this price point.
